章 362: Who can stop Zhang Guan!
"Your opponent in the next round is not Ljubicic, but Matthew." Coach Zhang then said, "Matthew dropped three sets in a row before losing a set and defeated Ljubicic 3-1."
"Matthew? That French man? I remember he ranks in the world forty, how can he be so powerful that he can beat Ljubicic?" Zhang Guan asked with some surprise.
"It's not Matthew's problem, it's the problem of Ljubicic. Matthew was playing normally but Ljubicic's play is really bad, and for 11 of the breakpoints, he only caught one of them. How can you not lose? You don't have to worry about the next game, just show your normal strength."
Zhang Guan nodded and said yes, but also felt sorry for Ljubicic. At the Australian Open, Ljubicic's ATP ranking was still fourth in the world and has now fallen to 15th in the world. This year's Ljubicic is clearly in poor condition. In the Australian Open, he broke out in the first round, and the French Open, he was also stopped in the third round. Today's Wimbledon Ljubicic also lost the game in the third round.
Zhang Guan's opponent in the next round is Matthew, whose full name is Paul Anri Matthew, a French player, 25 years old this year, the world ranking is 41st, lower than Vodasco who was just defeated by Zhang Guan. However, Matthew played very well in this year's Wimbledon. He defeated the 17th seed Spanish Ferrer in the second round, and today he defeated the 15th seed Ljubicic.
In the eyes of many people, Matthew has shown a dark horse stance, and even more, people expect Matthew to be a black horse, including Matthew himself.
But Matthew also knows that his next opponent is Zhang Guan, an opponent far more powerful than Ljubicic and Ferrer. Perhaps on the grass at Wimbledon, Zhang Guan is even the strongest opponent in the world.
...
On June 30th, despite the heavy rains that caused Wimbledon's schedule to lag seriously, and the heavy rain throughout the day made 30th the most serious day for delays, the event organizer, the All England Club, insisted on not scheduling the game on Sunday (July 1st). According to tradition, the first Sunday after Wimbledon is a rest day without games, but due to the recent rainy days near London, the game has been continuously delayed. By the 30th, there were still a lot of third-round matches for men's singles and women's singles. It stands to reason that weekends can be used to make up for missed matches, but the British did not plan to do so, they still chose to follow tradition.
Since the opening of Wimbledon in 2007 for six days, only one day has not rained, and the rest of the day was flooded with all kinds of rain pours, heavy rain, or intermittent showers. Since the field is an open grass field, the game will be interrupted as long as the rain falls. Fortunately, the game has reached the third round. The number of games has been greatly reduced, and it will not affect the overall progress of the game.
On the eighth matchday of Wimbledon, the center court, after the fourth round of the two women's singles, was followed by the fourth round of two men's singles. The first is Federer's game, his opponent is the German Golden Boy Haas. The game was over before the game started. Haas retired because of abdominal discomfort, and Federer was promoted. Federer became the only player at Wimbledon who can enjoy four consecutive days of rest this year. He even has time to reserve a hairstylist to go and make a new hairstyle for himself.
In another venue, Federer's old opponent Nadal was more tragic. Because of the rain, Nadal's previous three-game days have been terminated. Counting today, Nadal has four consecutive game days he has to make up. Due to the delay in the rain, Nadal has to face the devil schedule for the Friday game.
The game between Zhang Guan and Matthew was originally held in the fourth game of the center court, but due to Haas's retirement, Zhang Guan's game was also proudly ahead of schedule. He will start a contest with Matthew in the third game.
...
In the first game, Matthew took the lead in serving. Matthew's first serve is very good, with speed and angle, but his second serve is a bit bad. For Zhang Guan, Matthew's second serve can be said to be no threat. So at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan entered the state relatively quickly, and then took advantage of Matthew's poor state, and the weakness of the second serve was the first to get a break, and then the two sides protected the serve. After four games, the score became 3-1, Zhang Guan temporarily led. At this time, Zhang Guan played more actively, and Matthew's playstyle was not suitable for Zhang Guan's style of play. In the fifth and seventh innings, Zhang Guan got a break. In the first set, Zhang Guan took a 6-1 lead.
In the second game, Zhang Guan increased the line changes and strengthened his serve. And Matthew was unwilling to fail. After absorbing the lessons of the first set defeat, he also made tactical adjustments, increased the rotation of the ball and the change of the landing point, mobilized Zhang Guan on the two sides, successfully saved his first three service games, but then Matthew made two unforced errors in his serve. Zhang Guan did not miss the opportunity, successfully broke and led 5-3, and then easily maintained the service in the ninth game. After that, he took a 6-3 lead.
In the third set, Zhang Guan continued his previous good form, breaking up Matthew's serve and establishing a 2-0 lead. In the subsequent game, Zhang Guan played proactively. His serving game did not give the opponent any chance. He broke again in the third and fifth games to expand the results 5-0. The sixth game was Zhang Guan's serve victory game. At this time, he felt a hot hand and the offensive momentum was like a broken bamboo. However, the general situation was gone, and Matthew has completely lost his resistance. Zhang Guan easily kept his game and won the third set with 6-0 eggs. In this game, he defeated Matthew 6-1/6-3/6-0, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.
...
"Who can stop Zhang Guan? "
Zhang Guan won again, he defeated the French player Matthew in a huge difference of 6-1/6-3/6-0 in today's game. This year's Wimbledon's big "dark horse" Matthew did not continue to blunder in the end, and this result did not exceed everyone's expectations before the game. With Zhang Guan's current state, Matthew cannot defeat him.
It is worth noting that so far, Zhang Guan has not lost any game in Wimbledon. He has swept his opponents 3-0 in each game, and no opponent can support up to 10 points in a game. Overboard! There are even 6-0 every time. This fully shows Zhang Guan's super strength on the grass field. He is like Sampras. He played in front of the net and dominated Wimbledon. I think Wimbledon will soon welcome someone from the East, from Asia, from China! Who else can stop Zhang Guan's progress now?
