Capítulo 355: French Open Championship
In the stands, many Nadal supporters closed their eyes in pain. They knew that Nadal was about to lose the whole game, and the trip to winning the French Open three consecutive championships was about to end.
Nadal is still struggling to persevere. He does not want to give up, even if he knows that persistence is futile, but he is still persistently running on the court.
A wide range of moves, Nadal ran from the left to the right of the court, and then from the right to the left, but this time, he looked at the ball getting farther and farther away from him, and he stretched out the racket, but still did not touch the tennis ball.
The tennis ball was near the sideline and then flew out of bounds. Nadal lay on the ground, holding his head with his hands in pain. When he didn't receive the ball, he had lost.
After a second in the audience at the scene, there was still fierce applause, which included congratulations to Zhang Guan, comfort to Nadal, and thanks to the two. They congratulated Zhang Guan on winning the French Open and comforted Nadal not to give up due to the defeat, but also thanked the two players for bringing a wonderful game to the audience.
"Zhang Guan won! Unbelievable, the winner of this game turned out to be Zhang Guan. He ended Nadal's 20-game winning streak on the French Open and made Nadal fail to achieve the French Open's three consecutive wins! The score of this game is 3-0, but it's not a one-sided crushing game. The athletes of both sides played very hard, and Nadal was fighting till the last moment! I feel regret for Nadal, but the result is already in, so let us congratulate Zhang Guan for winning the 2007 French Open!" the commentator shouted.
In a round of applause, Nadal got up from the ground. He glanced at the final score again and confirmed that he had indeed lost the game. At this time, he felt as if he were sleepwalking, still unable to believe that he had lost the game, and then he stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Guan to congratulate him.
"Zhang, congratulations!" Nadal held Zhang Guan's hand across the net.
"Thank you, Rafael, you are also great. Today's game is the most difficult tennis game I have ever experienced." Zhang Guan said, very sincerely, "I am very sorry, I did not let you go on to the French Open to complete your hat trick!"
"There will always be some regrets in life, and I will come again next year." Nadal showed an open mind that was not by his age, and then asked, "I have a question, I can't help but want to ask you, why haven't you been tired of so long?"
"Don't forget that I am a track and field athlete. And I won the middle distance champion in the Asian Games." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"It turns out so!" Nadal felt that this was a reasonable explanation and temporarily accepted the answer.
...
"Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning the French Open, and he once again stood on the podium of the Grand Slam champion!" CCTV's commentator has calmed down a lot at this time.
At this time, the voice of the director sounded from the narrator's headset, "Hurry up and talk about the award ceremony, don't forget to say that the national flag will be raised, so that the audience doesn't go away!"
The narrator realized then that it was early morning and tomorrow was Monday. He was afraid that many viewers were going to take a break. So he said, "The award ceremony will be held next. Unlike other Grand Slam events, the French Open award ceremony has a national flag raising and national anthem, which is unique to the French Open, so it will come soon. The award ceremony will be the first time our national flag has fluttered at Roland Garros, the host of the French Open, and our national anthem will also be played at Roland Garros for the first time!"
"Tennis also raises the national flag and plays the national anthem!" At this moment, many domestic spectators who were going to turn off the TV to take a break put down the remote control and sat back on the sofa again.
...
Zhang Guan raised the Musketeer's Cup, the highest honor of the French Open men's singles, above his head, and countless shots aimed at him, recording this moment in history.
Then came Zhang Guan's longing for raising the national flag and playing the national anthem. This link often appears in the track and field, but Zhang Guan, who has not participated in the track and field competition for more than half a year, feels a long-lost pleasure and excitement.
The player's speech followed, and the microphone was first handed to the runner-up Nadal.
"Although it is sad that I did not win the final victory, I have tried my best in the game. Zhang Guan is an excellent player, and he did play very well today. I am proud of having such an opponent. I will come back again, and I will do my best to win this very favorite game." Nadal's speech appeared and formalized, but it was still difficult to hide the look of disappointment.
The microphone was handed to Zhang Guan. Before Zhang Guan started talking, he drew cheers and applause from the scene.
"Thank you. Thank you, Rafael (Nadal). You are a great player. It is an honor to play against you. I am very happy to win the championship. Thank you fans for your encouragement. Thank you, my supporters." Zhang Guan's remarks seemed more formal than Nadal.
Zhang Guan and then said, "I won the French Open, I have won two Grand Slam titles, I have only two championships left for the Grand Slam! Wimbledon at the end of this month, and the US Open at the end of August, I think I have a chance to get four Grand Slam this year!"
"Wow wow wow wow..." The audience immediately heard a cry of exclamation.
"What does Zhang Guan say? Is he going to take the four Grand Slam?"
"Oh my god, am I wrong? Is this Zhang Guan's declaration of the championship? Slam? This is crazy!"
"Zhang Guan is going to get a Grand Slam this year? How is that possible! Federer hasn't got four Grand Slam yet! Is he going to get four Grand Slam before Federer?"
"Hey, this joke is too cold, not funny!"
The audience around seemed to be deliberately coaxing, and the messy voices were all over the audience. Some people even regarded this as a joke and burst into laughter.
Nadal was a little surprised. He also saw someone claiming to take the Grand Slam at the award ceremony for the first time, and the response on the spot was not so positive. He secretly looked at Zhang Guan but found that Zhang Guan did not have the slightest embarrassment, still a smile like a gentleman on his face.
Nadal could feel the feeling of self-confidence exuded from Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan has won Roger (Federer) twice this year and won me against once. If neither of us can stop him, maybe he may get four Grand Slam this year."
