Chương 342: Advance to the Final Four
Canas looked coldly at the Zhang Guan.
"As long as I win against this newcomer Zhang Guan, I can enter the semi-finals! Although Zhang Guan is the Australian Open champion this year, even I can beat Federer, and which opponent can stop me!" Canas thought confidently.
"Even I can win against Federer" is the sentence Canas thought about the most in recent times. This is like a psychological suggestion, and the effect is very good. Especially during the game, Canas remembered this sentence. Then when he thinks of the moment when he defeated Federer, he is always full of strength.
After that, Canas started to serve. As an Argentine player, Canas's service level is quite good, but the clay-court weakened his service, which also reduced Canas's serving threat greatly.
Zhang Guan used his forehand on the serve, but Canas did not have the slightest temptation, he directly launched the attack, and played a diagonal.
"Canas played very unrestrainedly!" Zhang Guan secretly said.
Canas moves very agilely, and the quality of his shots is also great. It can be seen that today, Canas is in a very good state.
Moving, hitting, and the psychological hint of defeating Federer, Canas played very actively, and he has successfully won his serve. Although it is not easy to win, it was not difficult. From a professional point of view, it is a relatively balanced situation.
Tennis is a sport where the server is dominant. The so-called balance of power is that the server will not find it too difficult to keep their service, and the receiver will get one or two points in the opposing service game.
In Zhang Guan's serve game, the situation was similar. No one had a clear advantage, and Zhang Guan also succeeded.
The game came to 2-2 in this rhythm, and then to Canas' serve.
"It feels like this Zhang Guan is more difficult than Federer. The two of them are similar in technique, but Zhang Guan's movement is more agile than Federer, which is more suitable for the clay court. Then I have to strengthen the offense." Canas is ready to take the lead with a stronger attack.
The opposite Zhang Guan had the same idea.
"Canas is a veteran, after all, it is difficult to find any loopholes in technique, and he is also very active in running, and feels very excited when he plays. This is probably what Coach Zhang meant by his recent state is very good! If I continue to play like this, it is possible to play against Davidenco again. If it is dragged to the tie-break, I will still strengthen the offense and get the breakpoint first."
The next ball, the two made the same choice, that is, offensive, so almost at the beginning, the two sides launched a fierce battle.
When it comes to offense, many people will think of a net interception, but the French Open is not suitable for playing in front of the net, so most of the offense is still based on a wide range of high-angle shots, so the attack is turned into a two-person match. The high angle of the ball, which also makes the game's ornamental instantly improves.
Canas's offensive play is very passionate, which is a common feature of South American players, but Canas's offensive efficiency is not very high, and can only be considered qualified.
In contrast to Zhang Guan, he began to use the running attack and different attack method, and quickly changing the offensive and defensive rhythm can allow Zhang Guan to better grasp the initiative, to carry out more effective suppression, and can get higher offensive efficiency.
After 40-40, the two sides evenly scored twice, and finally, Zhang Guan took the lead in breaking a game with a more active play.
"What kind of tactics is this? I initially thought it was a volley before the net, but he just entered the bottom line and hit the ball in advance. This is not a normal way of playing cards!" Canas frowned. He has already felt that Zhang Guan's play has already messed up his rhythm.
"I accidentally lost my serve, and now I'm 3-2 behind, and next is Zhang Guan's serve, I have to break!" Canas saves his energy and prepares to break in the next set to retake a point.
In Zhang Guan's serve, Canas fought even more fiercely, and also made several extremely beautiful hits, but also made several mistakes. The number of wonderful shots and turnovers is almost the same, which is destined for Canas to have no advantage. In this game, he won two points but failed to break.
The score in the first set came to 4-2. In the next two games, Zhang Guan took a more stable approach. Both sides successfully defended their game, but the score of 5-3 was a full advantage for Zhang Guan. After winning the next round, Zhang Guan can win the first set.
After the game was taken by Zhang Guan, Canas played a little more anxiously. After a tie in this game, Canas made a mistake at a crucial time. The ball fell outside the boundary and gave Zhang Guan a breakpoint. Zhang Guan then seized the opportunity, forehand attacked, and successfully broke, winning this game while also winning the first set of games with a score of 6-3.
...
6-3 is a very disparate point difference. The unsatisfactory opening makes Canas a little unhappy.
"I can even beat Federer, and I will win the final!" Canas continued to hypnotize himself. After a while, Canas was full of energy again, and then he changed a new racket and embarked on the field.
I have to say that self-hypnosis is effective for Canas.
Canas was also considered a young man. When he was young, he used to be in the top ten of ATP, but at that time, Canas was contaminated with drugs, which almost ruined his career, and then Canas no longer reached where he was, he is now thirty years old and he wants to climb to the top of the world again, it is already impossible. But perhaps because of the drug-contaminated experience, mental self-hypnosis has a very significant effect on Canas.
After the start of the second set, Canas returned to the state of excitement at the beginning of the game, swift-running, strong return, aggressive attack, and once there was a kind of suppression of the crown in the service feel.
However, as time went on, Canas could not get a break for a long time, and his state was no longer hyperactive. In Canas' fourth serve, Zhang Guan scored a break again, and the score of this set was again fixed at 6-3.
In both sets, the score is 6-3. Canas has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If he loses again in the next game, he will end his journey in the current French Open.
Of course, Canas would not choose to sit still. In the third set, he started a counterattack. However, what Canas did not expect was that he even had unforced errors one after another, and the statistics after the game showed that Canas had 30 unforced errors in this game! The final score in the third set was 6-4. The two sides played a total of ten games, which means that on average, Canas will have three unforced errors in each game in the third set. In the semi-finals of the Grand Slam, with three unforced errors occurred in a game, he surrendered.
With Canas returning to the ball out of bounds, the referee announced the end of the game.
"Congratulations to Zhang Guan for his victory in this game, he will advance to the semi-finals, and his opponent in the semi-finals is the winner between Federer and Robredo, but the game between Federer and Robredo is not over yet. The latest news: Federer is currently leading Robredo 2-1. If I remember correctly, this is also the first set Federer has lost in the French Open, and their fourth game is just starting right now..."
...
Federer wanted the audience to wave his hand and then he left the court. He successfully defeated No. 9 seed Robredo 3-1 and advanced to the semi-finals of the French Open.
Federer just walked into the player's tunnel, he couldn't wait to ask Mirka next to him, "Is the game between Zhang Guan and Canas over?"
"It's over, Zhang Guan won." Mirka nodded, and then said, "The score is 3-0, it seems that Zhang Guan won relatively easily."
"The opponent in the semi-finals is still a champion! And there should be another Nadal after this match." Federer clenched his fists tightly. He felt that the road to his first French Open championship was a bit rough.
