Pen Fun Club EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the all-round athlete!
The French Open ends on June 10, while Wimbledon starts on June 25, only two weeks apart. In these two weeks, Europe, especially the United Kingdom, will hold a series of grass races as a warm-up match before Wimbledon. These grass events include the Tour Germany’s Halle Open, the Tour Queen’s Lawn Cup, the Tour Holland Open and the Tour Nottingham Station.
The levels of these games are not high, there is no atp1000 masters. Among them, the Tour Germany Halle Open and the Tour Queen’s Lawn Cup are atp500 level events, and the two events are overlapped in time, and athletes can only choose one of the two; while the Tour Holland Open and the Tour United Kingdom The competition at Nottingham Station is atp250 level, and the competition time is also overlapped.
Federer and Nadal seemed to have negotiated a long time ago, and they participated in the German Halle Open and the Queen's Lawn Cup respectively, but they did not win the championship. Federer chose to retire in the middle of the German Harley Open, and Nadal was defeated by French Mahathir in the quarter-finals of the British Queen's Meadows.
As for the two atp250 level events, Federer and Nadal are certainly disdain to participate.
With the arrival of the new week, atp announced the latest men’s singles world rankings. Federer still ranked first with 6190 points. This score is a relatively small number of points for Federer. You must know Federer at the peak. The points are basically maintained at around 8000 points. However, this year lost an Australian Open champion and a French Open runner-up, so the points should be lost by more than 1300 points in the normal period.
Nadal ranked second with 4425 points. He lost a French Open champion and his points have declined.
Zhang Guan ranked third with 4000 points with two Grand Slam titles. This is also the first time Zhang Guan ranked in the top three in the world.
With this update of the ATP world ranking. Wimbledon's 32 seed players were also released. The first seed is still Federer, the second seed is still Nadal, and Zhang Guan has become the third seed.
Although Wimbledon's detailed grouping has not yet come out, the position of the seed player is fixed, and Zhang Guan is the third seed in the 2/4 zone. If there are no surprises, he will meet Federer again in the semifinals and Nadal in the finals.
...
A few days later, the draw process of the live broadcast of Wimbledon.
Zhang Guan’s first-round opponent was named Jimmel Stober. He was an American, and this was another name that Zhang Guan had never heard of.
Jimmel Stober is a veteran. It has been active in previous years, but it has not achieved top results, and in recent years it has begun to shift towards sports fame. His current world ranking is no longer in the top 50, so he is not a strong opponent.
This is the case in tennis. The more advanced seed players, the more likely they will encounter weaker opponents at the beginning. For example, in the Australian Open, they faced the seed players continuously from the second game. For Zhang Guan, now ranked third in the world, it is impossible to happen again.
After the Wimbledon grouping, professional sports commentators also began to express their opinions, but this time, almost everyone is optimistic that Zhang Guan can successfully enter the semi-finals, and as many as 70% think that Zhang Guan can By defeating Federer in the semifinals, you can secure a Wimbledon title. As for the victory and defeat of Zhang Guan and Federer, absolutely generous experts also believe that it is a 50-50 situation, like the former "King Wimbledon" Sampras. Even Zhang Guan won the Wimbledon championship.
In an interview, Sampras said this: "This year's Wimbledon Tennis Open, I have put Zhang Guan in the position of the winner. Zhang Guan has performed well this year and he has won consecutively The champions of the Australian Open and the French Open currently say that he hasn’t lost any game or even any set of games, which is really incredible. What’s more important is that Zhang Guan uses the pre-net game. Hitting the ball for the first time, this will undoubtedly make Zhang Guan playing more aggressively at Wimbledon. And I heard that Zhang Guan has already started to cooperate with Zhang Depei, Zhang Depei was a very smart player, really playing with his brain , I think Zhang Depei knows what Zhang Guan really needs. He can keep Zhang Guan winning the Wimbledon championship."
At the same time, among the odds of winning titles issued by British bookmakers, Zhang's odds are also tied with Federer. This is definitely an amazing odds. Federer is not only ranked first in the world, he has also won four consecutive championships on Wimbledon, which is enough to prove Federer's dominance. And Zhang Guan is the first time to participate in the Wimbledon game, but also the first time to participate in the grass field competition, no one knows Zhang Guan's strength on the grass field, can win the same odds as Federer, can be said to be unprecedented of.
In fact, even Federer himself said in an interview that Zhang Guan will be the biggest obstacle to his five consecutive Wimbledon championships.
...
Zhang Guan glanced at the contents of the media, and felt a little weird in his heart.
"How did the wind change? The previous Australian Open and French Open, but no one is so optimistic about me. Now this situation, I have become Wimbledon's favorite to win the championship." Zhang Guan sighed a little sighed.
"That's because your ability to serve and to play in front of the net is excellent." Sharapova continued: "After all, it's a grass field. Your kind of high-speed service, as long as there are no mistakes, you can basically score steadily. It is almost impossible to get a break from your hand; and you should be the best tennis player in the world before playing online. Even if your opponent’s serve, your play before the net is very threatening. It’s the players who serve weakly. I’m afraid they won’t win a set from you!

"It sounds like I think the Wimbledon champion is none other than me." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"But you have to be careful in the first game, don't overturn the boat in the gutter." Sharapova then reminded.
"Why, my opponent, the American is called... Oh, yes, the guy named Jimer Stober, is it a nerve knife? The condition is very good?" Zhang Guan then asked.
Sharapova shook her head: "Jimmel Stober is not terrible, but the court you are playing on has a nickname."
"What nickname?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Champion's grave. Also called the seed cemetery." Sharapova continued: "In the games played there, the seed players are usually eliminated by the lower ranking players, including Sampras, Agassi, and Federer in 2002. In addition, there are some players who are ranked higher and are not so famous.
...
On June 25, the 2007 Wimbledon Tennis Open officially began.
Zhang Guan appeared as the No. 3 seed at the Wimbledon No. 2 stadium, known as the "Grave of Champions" and "Seed Cemetery". His opponent is Jimel Stober, a non-seeded American veteran. This game is also the opening game of Wimbledon this year at the No. 2 stadium. (To be continued.)
