章節 289: Advance to the Australian Open final
Gonzalez sounded the horn of counterattack, and he also acted, but this does not mean that Gonzalez's counterattack will work.
After all, this is Zhang Guan's serve, and the server has an advantage, not to mention Zhang Guan's service level is very good, the average player can't defend against Zhang Guan's serve even if they are very good.
Faced with Zhang Guan's strong defense, Gonzalez had only a strong attack.
Although Gonzalez is very good at attacking, he chose to attack in the opponent's serving game. The chance of success for that will not be too high. In this game, Gonzalez chose to attack three times, and all three times failed. In the end, he also had no service game to break Zhang Guan.
The score came to 5-3. If Gonzalez couldn't keep his serve, he would lose the first set to Zhang Guan.
At this time, Gonzalez needed a timeout to think about it carefully, but Gonzalez couldn't wait to prove that his forehand was stronger, so he quickly started his serve, and then the two sides started a forehand competition again. After some battles, in the case of a tie, Gonzalez's two mistakes made him lose his serve, and Zhang Guan also scored 6-3 winning the first set.
...
The game finally entered a time-out, and Gonzalez slowly calmed down and began to analyze its current situation.
"It's normal for Zhang Guan's serve to fail, but my serve was broken by Zhang Guan! Why is that?" Gonzalez recalled the process of the first set game just now and began to think about it.
"Zhang Guan's strength is indeed great, not only serving but also connecting serving. He can hold me with strength, so my bias towards strength and speed can't match with Zhang Guan."
"The other problem is the forehand match! That's right, I lost the forehand match!" Gonzalez soon realized the problem, "With my forehand, I am able to maintain about twenty-five beats, if more than twenty-five beats, my strength will not be able to support the high-strength shot, the ball speed will drop, and there will be problems with the control of the ball. But, Zhang Guan seems to be better than me as he is persevering longer, he can still maintain a high-intensity shot after twenty-five shots, maybe he can stick to more than thirty shots! The gap of five shots!"
Gonzalez took a deep breath, although there was only a gap of five beats, he wanted to overtake it, which was originally a fight, and these five beats were enough to decide the victory or defeat.
"While fighting forehands, I am not Zhang Guan's opponent at all. I can't get anything cheap on the serve, what should I do?" Gonzalez was anxious. His two strongest weapons are serving and forehand, but while facing Zhang Guan, his two strongest weapons are of no use, what blocks him is not a solid shield, but two sharper spears!
"What should I do? What should I do?" Gonzalez panicked because the rest between the two sets was about to end, the second set game was about to start, and Gonzalez had not yet found a method against Zhang Guan.
...
The TV shows close-ups of the two players.
"Gonzalez has lost!" Federer sighed.
Mirka was a little puzzled. She said, "The five-set three-win game is now the first set. The game can only be regarded as just the beginning. Why did you conclude so early?"
"Look at the expressions of the two of them. Gonzalez should be confused now. He can't find a way to deal with Zhang Guan at all. Gonzalez's characteristics are very distinctive, but at the same time, his style of play is too single. Gonzalez has played his best form but still lost to Zhang Guan. Federer continued, "You look at Zhang Guan again, he is very confident now, just like when he was in the track and field arena. Zhang Guan was originally the world's top athlete. Although tennis is a new field for him, he has found a strong mindset in this new field. I think this is the overall game."
"Then your opponent in the final will be Zhang Guan?" Mirka said.
Federer nodded, "Yes, I think that maybe the toughest game I have encountered this year."
"Why do you think so? Is it harder to deal with Zhang Guan than Nadal?" Mirka asked.
"Maybe it's more difficult than playing with Nadal because I don't know Zhang Guan." Federer took a deep breath, and then said, "Unknown opponents are always the most terrible."
...
The second set between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez began.
Gonzalez continued his offensive play, and Zhang Guan also continued to play against Gonzalez.
1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2... The scores of the two sides seem to bite tightly. After ten games, the scores of the two sides came to a 5-5 draw. Both sides have been able to keep their serve.
In this set, Gonzalez's serve was better, and his luck was also very good. Between the two of them, Zhang Guan almost got a breakpoint, but Gonzalez saved himself through a successful serve.
In the eleventh game, Zhang Guan successfully defended his hair and the score came to 6-5. In the subsequent twelfth game, the goddess of luck finally did not continue to look after Gonzalez. It also turned into a turning point in the game. After multiple consecutive ball matches, Gonzalez still lost the game and failed to take the second game to the tie-break.
"Now the total score of the two sides is 2-0. For Gonzalez, it has reached the edge of life and death. In the semi-finals of the Grand Slam level, almost no players can complete the reversal behind 0-2! The commentator looked at the information in his hand and then said, "And Zhang Guan, if he wins this game, he will also create multiple histories. He will be the first foreign card to qualify for the Australian Open men's singles finals; also after Ivanisevic, the second wild card qualified to break into the Grand Slam men's singles final; also, he will be the first to participate in the professional tournament for the first time and enter the Grand Slam finals."
In the third set game between the two sides, Gonzalez's state has declined, especially his serve, which is much inferior to the first two sets, which makes him unable to maintain an advantage in the service, and also gave Zhang Guan several opportunities to break.
Zhang Guan did not want to drag the game too long, he continued to attack Gonzalez, deliberately increasing the pace of the game quickly. In this fast-paced game, the errors of both sides have increased, but in the case of the same mistakes of both sides, it is more disadvantageous to fall behind. The leader's mistakes, at most, are lost points, while the opposing side's mistakes mean the funeral of the game.
The increasing number of mistakes made Gonzalez irritable, and he became more and more eager for success, which caused him more mistakes. In the third game only, Gonzalez got a break by Zhang Guan, and the reason for the break was because Gonzales made two double-turn mistakes.
"There was a problem with Gonzalez's mentality." Federer then commented, "The game has ended early!"
