"How about, the footsteps in the clay court can still adapt to it!" Coach Zhang asked.
"It's still slightly different from the hard ground, and the feeling of these shoes is different." Zhang Guan stopped and said, "Overall, the ground is quite flat."
At this time, Zhang Guan has put on tennis shoes dedicated to clay. The sole has a wide groove pattern, which is different from the fine herringbone pattern of hard court tennis shoes. The friction is relatively greater.
Coach Zhang continued: "The level of the clay court is definitely not as good as the hard ground. Although the surface looks similar and the foot is the same, there are actually many irregularities. Although we are not easy to detect with the naked eye, we can After landing, it will show obvious changes. The direction of the ball's flight will be affected by this unevenness, so the variable of the clay court will be larger. Because of this, many players like to choose a more conservative clay court. Play style."
Coach Zhang thought for a while and then said: "The clay court usually needs more care, and it needs to be leveled and drawn regularly. When the French Open game is completed, although the venue will be sorted out after each day of the game, it is high-intensity. The game will definitely make the venue more uneven, especially the main stadium Philippe Chatie Stadium and Susan Langren Stadium, will play for 15 consecutive days of the game, so in the later game, tennis is affected by the ground Will have an increasing impact."
Zhang Guan nodded and said that he knew that once the ground is uneven, the direction in which the tennis ball bounces and the speed of the tennis ball will be affected. Then it will affect the athlete's catch, and even move the whole body because of the thought of the athlete's tactical choice.
I saw coach Zhang picked up the racket and the ball and walked across from Zhang Guan. He said, "Look at this ball!"
Coach Zhang swings the ball and serves it quickly, but the tennis ball bounces after landing, and the speed is obviously much slower.
"See, this is what I mean by "slow field"!" Coach Zhang said.
Zhang Guan said, "I remember, you talked to me. The clay ground is not very hard, there will be a lot of friction when the ball hits the ground, and the ball loses a large part of the kinetic energy, so the speed of the ball will be more comparable. Slow. So the clay court is also called a slow field."
"Yes, the rhythm of the green clay field you see on the southwest coast of the United States is slower than the red clay field, which is suitable for beginners. In the past few years, there were many matches on the green clay field. Cancelled. In addition, the humidity of the air will have a great impact on the clay court. The greater the humidity of the air, the greater the viscosity of the clay court, and the more variables will be played." Coach Zhang pointed to the sky and continued. : "But you don't have to worry too much about air humidity. May is the dry season in Paris. There is very little precipitation. You may drink more water when you race. In addition, the temperature in May in Paris is 10-20 degrees Celsius, which is more suitable. You don’t have to worry about 40 degrees Celsius in the Australian Open during the competition."
After Coach Zhang finished speaking, he pulled out another tennis ball: "You look at this ball again."
This time, Coach Zhang did not use the traditional serve action, but directly used a batting action and played a top spin.
Tennis bounces on the ground. The speed slowed down again, but the ball bounced high and almost reached the position of the crown of the chest. You know that Zhang Guan has a height of more than one meter and nine, and his chest position is almost where the shoulders of many players are slightly lower.
"Did you see it? Did you play very high?" Coach Zhang continued: "This is another major feature of the clay court. The topspin will play particularly high. My level of topspin is average, far better than not. You know the top player in the world. Generally Federer spins the ball on the red ground, and the ball will surely bounce to the shoulder; if Nadal, the ball often returns to the position above the player’s head."
"Wouldn't it mean that a taller man would be more advantageous?" Zhang Guan said as he tried to play a top spin. The rotation of Zhang Guan's batting is not weaker than that of Nadal, and the ball bounced directly above Coach Zhang's head after landing.
Zhang Guan was a little surprised, he didn't expect this ball to play so high. Coach Zhang, on the other hand, went on to say: "In terms of height alone, it can indeed be said that a tall man has an advantage, but don't forget that in the current tennis world, tall athletes use the more violent style of play. Movement is often inadequate. On the clay court, foot movement is the most important. And because of the slow pace of the clay court, it is easier to catch the ball. Even a player who is not tall can receive a high ball!"
"When you are in the Australian Open, you often win by one blow. Only when you play against Federer can you be forced to play a longer round. In the slow pace of the French Open, there are not many chances of winning with a single blow. Frequent rounds of rounds are the most common." Coach Zhang extended three fingers, and then said: "So the most important thing is to play the clay court, three points, one is agile reaction, the other is rapid movement, and the most important It’s a tough will!"
...
Before the French Open, there were the so-called three warm-up matches, namely the Masters Monte Carlo, the Masters Rome and the Hamburg Hamburg. These three matches are all clay courts, also known as French weather vane.
One of the first to start is the Masters Monte Carlo match, and the final is undoubtedly between Federer and Nadal. Since the French Open final last year, the two have not played on the clay court. As a result, Nadal successfully defeated Federer and defended his status as "King of Red Earth".
When Zhang Guan arrived in Europe, the Masters Rome had just finished. Federer regretted not being able to reach the finals, while the Chilean cannon Gonzalez, who was in perfect condition, went all the way to the finals. In the final, Nadal easily defeated Gonzalez and revenge on the Australian Online.
Gonzalez's violent play is indeed not good at playing on the clay court. In the week after the Masters Hamburg, the same clay court, Gonzalez once again met Na Dahl is still defeated by Nadal, and the final of this game is Federer and Nadal. This is also the 11th "Bull Bean War". Most people think that Nadal is about to continue to Rome. He was in a good state and won on his own field. However, Federer defeated Nadal. More importantly, the final set of both sides was taken by Federer 6-0 and gave Nadal a zero egg.
At this time, there is only one week left before the French Open, and in the new week, the French Open will also be announced. (To be continued.)
