On the third day of the Australian Open, in addition to the second round of the men’s singles and women’s singles, the first round of the women’s doubles officially began later this day.
In the third match day, there were still no big hits. From the score point of view, several top players also gradually found the feeling of the match. Of the three golden flowers that the national team postponed, two defeated their opponents and were promoted.
On the fourth competition day, the second round of men's singles and women's singles is still in progress, and Zhang Guan and Sharapova will also debut on this day.
On this day, Rod Laver Stadium and Vodafone Stadium are scheduled for five games. Rod Laval Stadium is three men's singles and two women's singles, while Vodafone Stadium is three women's singles and two men's singles.
After Sharapova's first round of competition, she spit out bitter water to the media and complained of the hot weather, so the Australian Open organizers arranged Sharapova's game in the last game, and the venue was Adjusted to Vodafone Stadium. Under normal circumstances, according to a game for two to three hours, except for the lunch break, the fifth game will be held in the evening and even at night, at which time the temperature will definitely drop a lot. This is also a privilege of the top seed of the women's singles.
Zhang Guan's game was scheduled for the fourth game, the venue of the game is the third largest stadium in the Australian Open, the mca stadium.
Today, the MCA Stadium has arranged a total of four games, three men's singles and one women's singles. The previous games ended quickly. The scores of both men's singles are 3-0, and the results of one women's singles It was 2-1, and the highest single set score was 6-4, with no tiebreakers. As a result, the pace of the game has improved a lot.
In the third game, the 8th seed Nalbandian easily defeated Ecuadorian Lapanti with a total score of 3-0 and successfully advanced to the third round. The next game is the match between Zhang Guan and Grosjean.
"The upcoming round is the second round of the men's singles, against both sides of the men's singles No. 28 seed Sebastian Grosjean and Zhang Guan who played with the sponsor's wild card!" The commentator is not at this time. Forget about the wild card.
Two players are warming up on the field at the same time. The narrator also introduced the first round of the two.
"Zhang Guan defeated O Roches with a 3-0 score. I think this was not what everyone expected before the game. However, Roches was obviously not in the state of the game at the time, and his body had some discomfort. That's why I lost the game. Today, Grosjean looks pretty good, so Zhang Guan is probably not as lucky as in the first round." The commentator said.
The narrator apparently did not watch Zhang Guan's first round of the game, so he thought Zhang Guan was able to advance because of Roches' physical discomfort. Although the commentator is also a tennis professional. However, in the first round of the Australian Open, men and women added up to 128 games. The commentator certainly cannot watch every game. For some games that lack seed players, they often just look at the score.
"Okay, both players are ready, the game is about to begin! The first is Zhang Guan's serve."
at this time. Zhang Guan is already in position and ready to serve. His luck is still good today, and he won Grosjean when he guessed the front and back of the coin, so he got the opportunity to serve first.
Grosjean stared closely at Zhang Guan, but he remembered the video of the game between Zhang Guan and Roches.
"Zhang Guan mainly uses flat shots, but the serving speed is very fast. In the video, Zhang Guan's serving seems to be less than 200 kilometers. There is even a serve that exceeds 210 kilometers per hour. The flat shot reaches 200. Kilometers, it’s easier for me to catch the forehand."
Grosjean thought of this, subconsciously leaning towards the backhand position, and deliberately flashed his forehand.
I saw my hand toss the ball and then swung it out with one blow.
"Come! It doesn't seem to be fast. It's not what I expected before the game. The ball speed is definitely less than 200 kilometers." Grosjean suddenly felt a sense of down-to-earth. What he was most worried about before the game was Zhang Guan’s high-speed service. After all, a service of more than 200 kilometers per hour was not so easy to receive, and today’s first ball does not seem to be fast, and it is a general Grand Slam seed The players are not very different.
"I thought it would be the kind of high-speed serve. I didn't expect the speed to be fast. I have a chance for this ball! It seems that I will be the first to lead the game." Grosjean moved quickly while thinking. Ready to catch the ball.
Tennis flew past the king of the ball and bounced on the ground, but the crisp voice on the ground made Gross tighten his heart.
"This sound is not a flat serve, but a topspin! It turned out to be a topspin, no wonder the speed is much slower." Grosjean made an instant judgment.
As a professional tennis player, judging the condition of the ball by sound is the most basic skill. Gross let this Australian Open seed player, in this regard, it is already very incomparable.
"Based on the above standard of serving, the speed of this ball is quite fast, but this kind of serving is too common, I have seen your landing point! Hey, bad!" The racket stretched out, but the tennis ball had to bounce out first.
"Not received!" Gross let his heart tighten.
"Ace! 15-0." The referee immediately announced the score.
"How could this happen, how did the ball just spin so much!" Gross let the situation after the ball just touched flash in his mind.
Originally everything was normal, but after the tennis ball rebounded on the ground, there was an unexpected change in Grosjean. The height of the ball bounced was much lower than Grosjean expected, and the arc of the ball was also greater than Grosjean. Let the expectations be flat. In other words, after the ball hits the ground, it then bounces in a relatively straight arc, the trajectory is much lower than normal, so before Gross let the racket reach, he flew out of bounds.
This ball made Grosjeon a little caught off guard, but before he could come up with a solution, Zhang Guan started to serve the second ball.
"Hoo!" After the ball hit the ground, it was still the kind of crisp sound, but the drop of the ball was more tricky than before.
"It's still topspin! It's the same as before! This landing point can't be received!" Grosjean suddenly felt that this kind of serve made by Zhang Guan seemed somewhat familiar to him, and inexplicably came up with a name in his mind. , A name that scares all tennis players.
Roger Federer!
"How does this serve like Federer's serve? This kind of low-curved top serve is Federer's best way to serve!" Gross let in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Mongolian, must be blind! This kind of serve is Federer's unique skill, how many people can't imitate it, how can Zhang Guan do this trick! Don't panic, Federer's signature serve, I try a few times occasionally It will also be successful. Zhang Guan cannot master Federer's signature serve." Gross let himself comfort.
Federer's serve is not the fastest, but it is definitely the most difficult to catch. In particular, Federer is the best at the top spin service, the landing point is extremely tricky, but if only the drop point is tricky, Federer top spin and other people's biggest difference is the rotation. Federer’s topspin spins very well, and it also has a certain side spin in addition to topspin, so when the ball hits the ground and bounces, the height will be lower, the arc will be smaller, and the ball’s direction of flight will also be Straighter. This kind of ball is extremely difficult to catch, even if it is caught, it can't grasp the landing point, so it falls into the passive.
This top spin is Federer's signature. At present, no player can imitate this kind of serve. Even in the future, Federer's serve has been analyzed by slow motion from all angles, and has even become a tennis player textbook. Serve, but really can do the kind of peak Federer serve, but still not.
Because Federer’s serve is almost impossible to imitate, when Grosjean saw that Zhang Guan used the same serve as Federer, he was frightened and chose to bury his head in the soil like an ostrich, and actively determined that Zhang Guan It's blindfolded.
At the next moment, Zhang Guan issued a third goal, and the goal of this goal was precisely on the line.
"It's still the same as before! The arc of the bounce is so low, this is really Federer's kind of serve!" Gross let his face lose the confidence he had at the beginning of the game.
"Whew!" Zhang Guan didn't continue to use the topspin for the fourth serve, but used a one-shot draw, which was like a shell and hit the opponent's half.
"215 kilometers!" Grosjean saw the speed and immediately felt the tremendous pressure.
"I almost forgot that Zhang Guan was still a super heavy gunner! More than 210 kilometers of flat serve, plus Federer's signature top spin serve, how did I accomplish the break?"
...
After the 8th seed David Nalbandian defeated his opponent, he did not leave the court, but found a place to watch the game between Zhang Guan and Grosjean. Because Nalbandian's next opponent is the winner between Zhang Guan and Grosjean, Nalbandian needs to observe the opponent's status in the third round.
In fact, Nalbandian is mainly to observe the state of Grosjean. Gros let this kind of Internet player serve, it is difficult to get entangled, even the No. 8 seed Nalbandian Dare not to underestimate the enemy, as for Zhang Guan, he was directly ignored by Nalbandian.
However, at this time, Nalbandian's eyes remained on Zhang Guan's body.
"Nothing is wrong, it is indeed Federer's signature topspin serve, and Zhang Guan used it three times in a row. This is no accident. It seems that Zhang Guan did learn this kind of serve from Federer. Bad backhand, as long as you continue to attack Grosjean's backhand position with this topspin, you can easily take the initiative or even score directly. Grosjean wants to break in a certain game, I am afraid it is very Difficult." (To be continued.)
