Zhang Depei is a Chinese-American tennis player. He has won the French Open in 1989 and the runner-up in the Australian Open and the US Open in 1996. It is worth mentioning that when he won the French Open championship, he was only 17 years and 3 months old. He is also the youngest winner in the Grand Slam men's singles competition. Zhang Depei's best ranking in history is the second in the world, and that year's world ranking is the top player Sampras.
After Zhang Depei retired, he transformed into a tennis coach and has achieved some results, but the most familiar to Zhang Guan is the Japanese player Nishikori. Since Zhang Depei became the coach of Nishikori, Nishikori's performance has risen linearly, not only Won the runner-up in the US Open, the world ranking has also climbed to the top five in the world. This also fully shows that Zhang Depei is still capable as a coach.
In addition to Zhang Depei, Zhang Guan also has no other better options. Tennis, like other professional sports, usually changes coaches during the offseason. Those good coaches have been hired by other players during the offseason, and now it is January. The entire tennis season Just started, naturally there will be no players changing coaches. So being able to find a coach at this level of Zhang Depei is a big surprise for Zhang Guan.
So Zhang Guan immediately said: "Then let coach Zhang come as soon as possible and reimburse him for the ticket. Although he can't make it to the semifinals, he can certainly make it to the finals. Martha also made it to the semifinals, coach Joyce The task is very heavy, I can't always rub her coach!"
...
For Gonzalez, he can defeat Nadal. Entering the Grand Slam semi-finals has created his personal best results. Before that, his Grand Slam best results were only in the quarterfinals.
"My opponent in the next game is Zhang Guan, which is really a good group!" Gonzalez still seemed very excited at this time, defeating Nadal in such an important game. For him, he can really celebrate.
"If the opponent is Davydenko, it's really troublesome for me. Davydenko's game experience is very rich, he can always crack my forehand, so that my attack is blocked and I can't find the game. But Fortunately, Zhang Guan helped me get rid of Davydenko. Playing a tennis rookie in the next game, it seems that entering the final is no longer a problem!" Gonzalez continued.
At this time, Gonzalez fully demonstrated the natural optimism of South American players.
However, Gonzalez's coach said: "I don't think you should care too much. Although Zhang Guan is participating in the Australian Open for the first time, he is not a normal rookie. All the skills he has shown are very good. Mature, you have seen that game with Davidenco. Zhang Guan’s forehand is very accurate, and he uses a baseline offensive tactic similar to Federer; and his service level is also very good. A game of ace was issued more than a dozen times! I made a statistic that he serves more than 70% of his serve, and his speed can exceed 200 kilometers per hour. This is better than you alone!"
"Strong than me! That's because I didn't play my best!" Gonzalez sneered, then said: "Wait and watch. I will try my best in the game tomorrow! Zhang Guan's serve is good? Forehand Also good? Then I beat him with a serve and forehand!"
...
The Australian Open is on the eleventh match day.
In the women's singles semi-finals that started first, Williams Jr. defeated Vaidisova 2-0, and Sharapova defeated Christels with the same score. Today's Australian Open final will be a contest between Williams Jr. and Sharapova.
However, this is not a good result for Sharapova. It is well known that Williams Jr. is Sharapova's nemesis. Sharapova has almost never won against Williams a few times, although Sarah Poova's first major championship was won by Williams Jr., but since the 2004 WTA year-end finals. Sharapova never won Williams again. Then when Sharapova faced Williams, it was even more invincible for ten consecutive years.
After the women's singles two-and-a-half game, Rod Laver Stadium also ushered in the most important game today, Federer against Roddick in the men's singles semi-final. Roddick was the sixth seed of the tournament. Before the game, he was considered to be a favorite to win the championship. Although his record with Federer was 12 losses and 1 win, Roddick was definitely disadvantaged. But in the second half of last year, the famous tennis coach Connors became Roddick's coach, Roddick also made rapid progress. Roddick faced Federer's only victory in the Couyan Classic before the Australian Open.
The Kuyan Classic was only one week away from the Australian Open, which means that Roddick defeated Federer a week ago, so many people think that Roddick will cause Federer a lot of trouble, maybe it can be defeated again. Federer; Some people say this is a battle of revenge.
However, the result of the game was shocking. Federer ended the game in only 83 minutes. 6-4/6-0/6-2 straight shot swept Rodick out of the game. Roddick failed to cause Federer a little trouble.
...
"Federer has booked the championship of the Australian Open"
"In the game held this afternoon, defending champion Federer defeated the No. 6 seed Roddick of the tournament and successfully advanced to the final. However, for many people, the current Australian Open champion has lost suspense. Another men's singles game Although the semi-finals have not yet started, neither Gonzalez nor the Champions League is clearly impossible to defeat Federer in the final. So Federer can be said to have taken the Australian Open champion into his arms."
This report tells the voices of many people. Federer is now in perfect condition. From the first round of the game to the victory over Roddick in the semi-finals, Federer won by 3-0 without losing a set. .
In the media predictions before the game, among the seed players, only Nadal, Ljubicic, Roddick and Nalbandian could cause trouble for Federer. Among them, Nadal and Nalbandian are well-known "cow killers"; Ljubicic is a friend of Federer, and he knows Federer's style very well; Roddick just defeated Federer last week. It is possible for people to defeat Federer.
The current situation is that Nadal lost to Gonzalez, Ljubicic was eliminated in the first round, Roddick could not stop Federer's pace, and Nalbandian lost to Zhang Guan. In the eyes of the media, it is possible that four people who have defeated Federer are out, so everyone thinks that Federer has already decided the Australian Open champion.
As for Gonzalez and Zhang Guan, a new tenth in the world, one is the rookie for the first time to participate in professional games, even if they have played well in the previous rounds, but no one will be optimistic about Zhang Guan or Gonzalez can defeat Federer. Therefore, the game between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez was also dubbed the "Australian Open Runner-up". (To be continued.)
