This is Zhang Guan's serve.
"Federer's attack! Oops, this time the angle of attack was too big and the ball was out of bounds. Federer played a very fierce game in this round, and the continuous offensive was very oppressive! Although in the end there was no successful break, he still gave Zhang The crown, causing a lot of pressure, and with several points, Zhang Guan was able to hold it."
This is Federer's serve.
"Federer played steadily without any flaws! I didn't expect Federer to completely change his style in his serve, instead of continuing to attack, he gradually accumulating advantages through a solid holding of the ball. Although Zhang Guan tried several attacks, he didn't achieve good results. Federer managed to keep his serve."
In CCTV's studio, the host's tone was a little worried, he said, "In the first few games, Federer strengthened the offense in Zhang Guan's serving game, making Zhang Guan tired of copying his moves; but when Federer was in his own service game, he was very stable, and Zhang Guan's offensive has failed to achieve results. In the current situation, Zhang Guan is in a passive position, and both ends of the offense and defense are subject to Federer's restraint."
Coach Su immediately said, "On the surface, this seems to be the case, but if we analyze it in-depth, the situation is not like this. In Zhang Guan's serve, Federer attacked fiercely, but he suffered, that is, his turnovers have increased. We know that the more aggressive the play, the more the turnovers there will be, and with Zhang Guan's strength, Federer's mistakes will certainly not be limited, so we see Federer attacking very fiercely, but he didn't get a breakpoint during Zhang Guan's serve game."
"But Federer played very well on his serve game," the commentator said.
"That's because Federer is worried about losing his serve. I think Federer realizes that Zhang Guan's offensive is very sharp, and he will make such a choice." Coach Su smiled slightly, and then said, "With Federer's technique, if he deliberately goes for stability, Zhang Guan will find it. very difficult to complete the break."
"So, this game is likely to enter the tiebreaker again?" the commentator asked.
"Yes!" Su nodded his head, "And now both sides look very good, I think the tiebreak will be another fierce contest!"
...
In the stands.
Coach Zhang Depei always had a confident smile on his face. He firmly believed that Zhang Guan would win the final victory.
"The status of the two of them is very good today. Especially Federer, who is very clever. Federer should realize that his foot movement ability is not as good as Zhang Guan, so he will change his tactics. If it is forehand, then Zhang Guan's forehand spin is even better." Coach Zhang took a deep breath and then thought, "Thanks to this is the French Open, the clay court is the slow field, which is equal to the advantage of the weakened attacker in disguise, so as long as If you can reduce unforced mistakes, you will be able to hold on to each other. If this is Wimbledon, now Federer may not be so comfortable!"
Besides Coach Zhang, Sharapova looked at Zhang Guan with a nympho look. The women of the fighting nation have always been obsessed with powerful men, and now the sweaty kings on the field are very attractive to Sharapova.
The second set came to the tie-break again, but the atmosphere on the court was different from the tie-break in the first set.
Whether it is Federer or Zhang Guan, they are very eager for victory. This is no longer a question of the Grand Slam finals, but they are fighting with every hope they have to win even if they have a heart that is unwilling to lose.
In this tie-break, both of them were extremely focused and both worked hard. They run and hit the ball, take every ball seriously, and refuse to give up any chance.
However, there were always wins and losses in this game. In this tie-break, the two sides once again played up to 16 points, and finally, Zhang Guan won the tie-break with a score of 9-7.
...
"Zhang Guan won the tie-break, 2-0, Zhang Guan led Federer 2-0! In the final of the Australian Open in January, Zhang Guan and Federer's first two sets of games, the score was 2-0, and Zhang Guan was leading Federer, in that game, Zhang Guan finally won 3-0! Will it be a replica of the Australian Open final today? Will Zhang Guan sweep Federer 3-0 again? Or will Federer start a counterattack, let the second chase three reverse the game? Today, only one champion can get a Grand Slam, Federer was blocked by Nadal in the French Open final last year, and this year, will Federer stop in the semifinals. What?"
A series of questions from the narrator, but no one can answer now, the final set will reveal the final answer in the next game.
In the first game of the third set, Zhang Guan seized the opportunity and broke the lead. Zhang Guan then made persistent efforts to successfully maintain his serve and achieved a 2-0 lead at the beginning.
...
In the athlete's lounge, Nadal returned to his seat and continued to check his equipment.
"2-0, Federer is playing well, but Zhang Guan wants to play better than Federer, and the mobile dominant player on the clay court has an advantage. It seems that my opponent in the final will be Zhang Guan!" Nadal shook his head, "From the performance of the two of them today, I would rather face Federer in the final."
Nadal has already won two consecutive championships on the French Open, and in his view, winning three consecutive championships is a matter of course. Nadal agreed that no one in the world can stop him from winning three consecutive championships in the French Open, even Federer can't either.
However, in today's semi-final, Nadal finally felt a strong threat, this threat comes from Zhang Guan, from the good condition of Zhang Guan on the TV. The same strong forehand and the same powerful mobile ability. In the French Open, Zhang Guan is more powerful than Federer, strong enough to block Nadal from being the French Open champion.
"I want to be very strong!" Nadal felt the impetus to move forward.
...
In the lounge on the other side, Djokovic's face was more dignified than Nadal. At this time, Djokovic has been shocked by Zhang Guan's performance today.
"He is so strong! Federer's strength is already strong enough. I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be stronger! He's only a few months older than me!" Djokovic couldn't help sighing. Originally Djokovic felt that he was the most talented player in the world, but seeing this game today and seeing the level of his peers, this made Djokovic feel that his level was still too far.
"I want to become stronger!" Djokovic's face was full of desire for strength.
...
The game is still going on, Zhang Guan is getting more and more courageous, Federer gradually shows a decline. After a few games, the score came to 5-2, which was also Zhang Guan's match point.
Federer looked at the score of 5-2, suddenly felt sour in his heart.
"If I lose the next game, I will have to say goodbye to this French Open! It seems my road to the Grand Slam is still very long!" Federer looked at the opposite crown while thinking.
At this time, Zhang Guan exudes a unique temperament, which is a temperament that I can only respect, and only the athletes who stand on the top of the world will have the temperament.
"I have tried my best, but I am not Zhang Guan's opponent. Why is that?" Federer's eyes passed through a little confusion, but the confusion only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
"Because I'm not strong enough!" Federer's expression suddenly became extremely persistent, and he found a new point.
"I want to become stronger!"
"Zhang Guan won! The score of this set is 6-2. We congratulate Zhang Guan on sweeping Federer with a total score of 3-0 and successfully advancing to the finals of the French Open. We congratulate Zhang Guan on creating history again and becoming the first Chinese player to advance to the French Open men's singles final! This is also the second time after the Australian Open, Zhang Guan entered the Grand Slam final. Zhang Guan's opponent in the final will be the winner of the next game between Nadal and Djokovic!"
At this time, at Philip Stadium, Federer raised his head, his face filled with regret, then he adjusted his emotions, went to the net, shook hands with Zhang Guan, and also congratulated him.
"Congratulations!" Federer said.
"Thank you, Roger, you are great, you are the best tennis player I have ever seen!" Zhang Guan said.
"But I'm not as good as you! For me, you are the best tennis player in the world." Federer smiled, then said, "I look forward to our next fight."
"It must be." Zhang Guan thought for a second and then said, "The next Wimbledon and the US Open in September, we will have a chance to meet again, maybe it will be the finals of the Wimbledon or the US Open!"
"Are there only Wimbledon and the US Open? Don't forget that there is a series of Masters before Wimbledon and the US Open! Are you not ready to participate in it?" Federer asked.
Zhang Guan shook his head slightly, "I don't want to go. I'm going to win four Grand Slams. Maybe I will win another Olympic champion next year. For me, a Glam Slam is enough. And next year there will be an Olympics. Part of the energy will still be put on track and field events!"
"It's a pity that you are missing on the field." Federer's voice continued and said, "I wish you the championship in advance, and I believe you can beat Nadal!"
"Thank you, I will try my best to win the championship." Zhang Guan said.
"No, no, you must win the championship!" Federer smiled, "When you get the French Open championship, I will say that I lost to the champion, it doesn't sound so shameful. Haha..."
...
Next came another semi-final of the men's singles, Nadal against Djokovic.
Nadal has won 19 consecutive victories at the French Open and is still the defending champion of the French Open. Of course, Nadal, who has won the competition, is eager to dominate the French Open for three consecutive years. And Djokovic participated as the No. 6 seed and was in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time.
There have been four confrontations between Nadal and Djokovic, and Nadal has a certain advantage with 3 wins and 1 loss. The most recent confrontation between the two was at the Roma Masters this year when Nadal scored two straight sets to win the game 6-2 and 6-3.
In the first set, the first four rounds of the two sides defended each other. In the fifth round, Nadal seized the opportunity to successfully break. In the seventh game, Nadal broke again and took the lead with a score of 5-2. However, Nadal got a little lax and was broken by Djokovic in the eighth and tenth games respectively, chasing the score to 5-5. In the 11th game, Nadal broke again, and then in the twelve games, Nadal succeeded, and with a score of 7-5, he won the first set game.
In the first game, there were twelve games, but there were five breaks. This is a breakout battle. When the audience was looking forward to a more exciting game, Djokovic fell off the chain, and he played with more and more impatience after Nadal won the second set with 6-4. In the third set, he lost the game with 6-2. Most of Djokovic's 37 unforced turnovers in the normal game occurred in the last two sets. At this time the young Djokovic also exposed the disadvantage of having poor stability.
Nadal defeated Djokovic and advanced to the final, which means that this year's final will be between Zhang Guan and Nadal, and the final is on the weekend two days later.
...
"Federer lost to Zhang Guan and missed the French Open final",
Although the Swiss king Federer has won countless honors in today's tennis, Roland Garros (French Open) is always his most desirable place, because the French Open is the only Grand Slam event he failed to win. After losing to Zhang Guan in the French Open final, Federer lost to Zhang Guan again in the semifinals today. The French Open final took 2 hours and 48 minutes. Although Federer tried his best, it was still difficult to resist Zhang Guan's powerful offensive and eventually lost by 0-3.
After the match, the Swiss king admitted that the game with Zhang Guan was a physical contest, "I think this is a very physical game. It is very difficult to score from the first ball of the game, and each game takes a long time. I had long expected this to happen, so I was ready to fight hard, and I felt pretty good at the time, which was good for me. But unfortunately, Zhang Guan's mobility is too strong, which is also the reason why in this game, it made me feel difficult after the game started. Zhang Guan performed better today than me, he played very tenaciously."
The Swiss King will make a comeback next year so that he will continue to be full of fantasy and expectation of his career, "I still have a French Open championship left. If I finally win today or have reached the top here last year, then I will lack the many points that are needed to be chased continuously. Just like the French Open championship, it always attracts me. If one day I finally get this honor, that feeling will be even sweeter. I keep giving myself more opportunities, time, and time again for the French Open Champion and work harder. I know what I can do, and I am sure of it. I have completed my excellent French Open tour, and I am okay with the result I have gotten here."
Compared with this year's Australian Open finals, the Swiss King has a lot of feelings, "I don't know how it felt at the Australian Open, but I also think I was disappointed for maybe only 5 minutes. Today I returned to the locker room after I lost and felt disappointed. Of course, the worst thing is that other people keep encouraging me to be proud of myself. Losing is just bad luck."
When asked if he was about to go to Wimbledon to forget the French Open defeat, Federer thought there was no problem, "Once you step on the grass, all the past unhappiness will be left behind. Winning the game naturally makes you happy, but after losing, you better forget it as soon as possible. I am very excited about the upcoming grass game, this is a great opportunity for me to rejuvenate. I hope that I can win the championship for the fifth consecutive time in Wimbledon, it will be incredible if my wish came true. I hope I can create such an opportunity, I am eager to achieve good results in Wimbledon."
Federer is struggling to get out of the shadow of defeat because the next grass game will be Federer's prowess, he will try his best to get out of the shadow of failure and let wish him good luck.
Coach Zhang handed this newspaper to Zhang Guan, and then said, "It looks like Federer knows where his weakness was at."
"To be honest, Federer's condition was really good yesterday. When I hit 7-7 in the first set, I doubted whether I could win." Zhang Guan said.
"Federer's state is indeed very good, I think Federer at that moment, his state should be at his peak! But a tennis match takes as long as two or three hours, an athlete can't maintain the state for such a long time. In the third set, Federer's game state has started to decline." Coach Zhang pointed to the newspaper and then said, "Federer looks like he hopes to use Wimbledon to heal, but I think In Wimbledon, he may lose more cleanly. Wimbledon is grass. The more aggressive the attack, the more you can play at Wimbledon!"
Coach Zhang opened his laptop, and then said, "Don't talk about Federer anymore, the game is over anyway, let's talk about your next opponent, Rafael Nadal."
