章 333: This time the opponent is an actor
The match between the two Asian players did not attract much attention from the European media. Zhang Guan, the world's 15th ranked champion, defeated Lee Hyung Taik, 42nd in the world rankings. This is also a normal result.
However, in Asia, this game has attracted much attention. The Korean media has already marked this game as the "Asia No. 1" battle, and the state media has not been accustomed to the Korean media's praise of Lee Hyung Taik so there were several days of salivation battle.
The big score is 3-0, and the three sets are all 6-0. It also declares that this saliva battle can finally be over, Zhang Guan wins without trying and made all the Korean media speechless. In the three-set match, he was unbeaten. With this score, it was a disastrous defeat. In addition to being inferior to others, there was no excuse for having an excuse. The state media is in joy, and many media have used the picture with Lee Hyung Taik's tears.
"Did you watch the tennis match from last night? Zhang Guan made a Korean cry!"
"Of course I saw. Zhang Guan was brutal. All three sets were 6-0. Lee Hyung Taik didn't win a single game."
"You said Zhang Guan was too ruthless. Anyway, he was an international friend. How many people not willing to let their opponent win at least one game? It is not easy for people to visit the French Open. How ugly is it to not take a duck egg back!"
"What do you mean? You didn't read the news a few days ago. Koreans have been saying that Lee Hyung Taik will defeat Zhang Guan to be the first in Asia! Zhang Guan should play harder and let them know how powerful we are!"
...
Zhang Guan instantly spread the news of his opponent's crying all over the country and became an interesting conversation after tea and dinner. At this time in Paris, Zhang Guan was already preparing for the next game.
Because it rained two days before the French Open, many games in the first round were delayed, but the time for the second round of games did not change, so the day after Zhang Guan ended the game with Lee Hyung Taik, he would participate in the men's singles second-round game.
Zhang Guan's opponent in the second round was named Navarro, a Spanish. This name is very common in Spain. Basketball, soccer, and even women's tennis singles all have a player with this name.
However, the Navarro faced by Zhang Guan in the second round is not a well-known star. He is a qualifier and his world ranking is also in the top 100. Navarro's first-round opponent is also a qualifier. But the strength was not strong, so Navarro was able to advance to the second round of the French Open.
A qualifier is not a threat to Zhang Guan, and Navarro is also very self-aware. He did not expect to be able to defeat Zhang Guan. After all, Zhang Guan is the 15th seed of the tournament and this year's Australian Open champion. He is not in the same league as him.
So Zhang Guan won the 3-0 easily and advanced to the third round. The scores of the three sets were 7-5/6-3/6-1 respectively. His opponent, Navarro, was able to advance to the second round as a qualifier and was already very content.
Zhang Guan's next game will be held on June 1, and the venue is no longer the No. 7 stadium, but the Philip Stadium, the main stadium of the French Open. The main reason for the game is to play at the main stadium because of Zhang Guan opponent in the next game is a French native player, Gael Monfils.
...
"Gael Monfils is a black player. In professional tennis, black players are as scarce as yellow players. You have eliminated a yellow player in the first round now you can eliminate a black player." Coach Zhang Depei said with a smile.
There are indeed very few black players in professional tennis. Except for the Williams sisters, women generally don't think of other black players in men's events; men's events are dominated by white people, so it's harder to find a black player.
Nowadays, in the top ten in the world rankings, only Blake has black blood, his father is black, and his mother is white, so many people do not regard Blake as a black player. But this French Monfils is a black African-American player.
Zhang Depei then introduced him, "Monfils is 21 years old this year, same as your age, he is also a young man. When he was 18 years old, he won three major championships in the youth group. The youth group ranks first in the world and is the ATP Rising Star Player of the Year. In the past, Monfils also joined Djokovic, Murray, and Gasquet and became the "four little kings" of the tennis world."
"Four Little Heavenly Kings? The other three are not easy." Zhang Guan nodded. The other three of the four little kings, Djokovic and Murray, will become one of the four kings in tennis in the future, while Gasquet and Monfils have not achieved anything in the previous two days. But he is considered a relatively successful top player.
"As a black player, Monfils has great physical fitness, comparable to basketball players. His strength and speed are very good, and his mobility is not inferior to Nadal. Technically, he uses the bottom line and the net style of play which is relatively proficient, and his age is very good. Currently, the world ranking of Monfils is beyond 50, so in terms of overall strength, Monfils is not as good as yours." Zhang Depei went on to say, "Monfils also has a major feature, that is, the desire to perform is very strong."
"Performance desire? What do you mean?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Show you a video and you will understand." Zhang Depei found a video highlight about Monfils on his laptop.
In the video, Monfils is like a show, with various fancy saves. For example, to save the ball on the ground, and then save to the other side; a person lying on the ground to catch the ball; jumping high, the body flew into the air, and then hit a crotch; even to the back is even useful for heading the ball over the net.
"Does this guy come here to play tennis or perform acrobatics!" Zhang Guan smiled and watched. This collection of fancy saves by Monfils is indeed very good in view. If Zhang Guan is an audience, he will buy a ticket and will give him applause.
"This black brother is a film emperor, I am a little bit reluctant to win against him!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"I want to remind you that this is the point. Monfils has a strong desire to perform, and the audience likes to watch him perform, so he can easily get the support of the audience. There is often a situation in the competition, the opponent clearly played better than Monfils, and the score was also ahead of Monfils, but he was completely overwhelmed by Monfils. The audience also supported Monfils one-sidedly and Monfils turned over. And Monfils has exactly that kind of momentum, the state and performance will become better and better players." Zhang Depei said.
"It sounds like Monfils is going crazy! Black athletes all look like this, and they all get better when they are happy." Zhang Guan showed an expectant expression, and then said, "I want to be quick with this type of acting player."
"Player actor? This is a good name." Zhang Depei responded immediately.
