Pitiful Rochus

In Zhang Guan and Grosjean's first set, the final score is 6-0, Zhang Guan won. The game also entered a short break between the two sets.

Grosjean poured a whole bottle of water on his head, and instantly felt much cooler, and at the same time sober, he wiped his face and began to think seriously.

"Federer's signature topspin serve, topspin forehands in catching, now that I think of it, it feels like a "Nadal turn"! One of these two is a professional tennis killer, how Zhang Guan have it! Is he a track and field athlete? Really hell, if I knew one of these two techniques, I would have stood steadily in the top ten in the world!" Grosjean let his heart spit out crazy. Then, I remembered my preparation before the game and the tactical arrangement given by the coach.

"It didn't seem to be necessary to prepare before the game. Zhang Guan didn't even send a quick flat shot. There was also a forehand spin that was too restrained for me to volley. Zhang Guan's serve is old. It's a backhand that attacks me. There is no way. How can he serve? I don't have any way to counter. But on my serve, I must stop his forehand. Once he hits the high-speed top spin, my volley becomes useless. So, after that, I should attack Zhang Guan's backhand as much as possible. If Zhang Guan catches the ball with his backhand, he won't need to spin the ball with a high spin forehand."

In the game, Grosjean trailed all the way. He didn't have the time or the mood to think about how to deal with Zhang Guan. But during the rest time, Grosjean calmed down, and his professionalism as a professional tennis player was reflected. He analyzed the situation on the field and quickly formulated new tactics.

...

In the second set of the two sides, Grosjean took the lead in serving.

Grosjean's first goal was an ACE ball, which made a good start. Then Zhang Guan received the second goal, but Zhang Guan's direction of return was not good. Grosjean made a successful interception before the net and won another goal, followed by the third goal.

In this game, Grosjean strengthened his serve, and his choice of each ball is relatively limited, which makes it troublesome to connect for Zhang Guan.

In the fourth ball, Grosjean's serve was still unrestrained. As a result, he made a boundary. On the second serve, Grosjean felt that he had three match points in his hand and had the capital to squander, so it was still a limited serve. He made a mistake and gave a point to Zhang Guan.

On the fifth point, the situation was the same. Grosjean made a mistake. He still didn't choose to be conservative on the second serve. However, this time he succeeded. With an ACE ball, he directly won the first game and successfully defended the game.

The victory in this game made Grosjean's morale increase. In the next serve of Zhang Guan, he also played very actively, but Grosjean had a bad backhand still fail to break.

In the third game of the second set between the two sides, Grosjean maintained a good serving feel and successfully defended his serve. Immediately after the fourth game, Zhang Guan also relied on the advantage of serving and did not give Grosjean a chance to break.

In this way, the two sides come and go with each other, but they didn't give in to each other, but each game ended relatively quickly, and there are no long rounds. The score quickly reached 3-3.

In the seventh set of the second set, it was Grosjean's serve. In this game, Grosjean's feel has dropped, and as soon as he came up, he made a double-error and gave a point to Zhang Guan.

"It's too hot!" Grosjean was able to feel the sweat that dripped from his cheeks, and his clothes had already been soaked, and his thick black hair was pressed directly under the tennis cap. However it still brought him uncomfortable heat.

"My physical fitness has dropped a lot from the beginning of this set, and the feel is not as good as just now. If I serve now, I will have to be a little conservative, otherwise, I will make double-serving mistakes." Grosjean thought of this and chose a little more conservative approach than before. A more conservative way of serving and this also makes it difficult for Zhang Guan to receive.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan returned the ball and crossed the net, which was considered a satisfactory service, but Grosjean did not choose to hit a volley.

"Attack his backhand first! Then I will volley." Grosjean aimed at tennis with a fierce blow. He chose Zhang Guan's backhand, and then Grosjean made preparations to hit a volley.

However, at the next moment, Grosjean saw that Zhang Guan was still hitting the ball with his forehand and that he was spinning with another forehand.

"He moves so fast! How did I forget this! Zhang Guan already has excellent moving speed." Grosjean regretted it immediately.

Grosjean hopes to attack Zhang Guan's backhand, but he forgot that Zhang Guan has an amazing speed of movement. Just like this ball, in the prediction of Grosjean, Zhang Guan will use the backhand to catch the ball, but, with his speed, Zhang Guan has moved to a position where he can catch the ball with his forehand when he arrives in front of him, so he can still use his forehand to hit the topspin.

Sometimes, the forehand and the backhand are only one step away, so by moving a little faster, or predicting a little earlier, if you can run such a step, the backhand catch may become a forehand catch. For the same reason, sometimes if the movement is a little slower, or there are a slight delay and hesitation in the pre-judgment, and then one step less. The original forehand catch will also become a backhand catch.

Zhang Guan, with his ability to move, happens to have just one more step, so he can still receive the ball with his forehand.

"It's over!" When Grosjean saw Zhang Guan hit back with his forehand, he was already sure he had lost the ball again.

"What should I do? Attacking the backhand doesn't work! Zhang Guan's movement speed is too fast. Attacking his backhand does not affect him. When my ball flies past and others arrive, it will be a step short! If I hold it in my left hand he will just shoot." Grosjean thought annoyedly.

Zhang Guan and Grosjean both were right-handed, so when holding the ball, the opposing hands of each other attacking each other will be relatively slow, and if a right-hand holds a left hand and a left-hand holds each other, if they attack each other It's much easier. For example, Federer and Nadal, one is right-handed and the other is left-handed, so they are also afraid of each other's forehand, so the contest between the two of them will often be targeting each other backhand.

0-30, Grosjean trailed by two goals in the serve, but at this time he was confused again, he could not find a way to restrain Zhang Guan. Exactly in this round, Zhang Guan completed the break.

Then Zhang Guan became more and more courageous, winning two consecutive games and fixing the scores of both sides in the second set ended with 6-3.

...

Grosjean poured a whole bottle of water on his head again.

At this time, Grosjean has confirmed that Zhang Guan's strength is stronger than himself. Although Grosjean doesn't want to admit this, he doesn't want to admit that a seed player can't beat a wild card player, but the rationality of professional players allows Grosjean to admit this.

"Zhang Guan's tennis strength is so strong! That kind of serve, that kind of forehand spin, and that kind of speed are the strength of seed players! Also track and field athletes? I am not his opponent. That tiger, he cheated all of us! And those damn media and sports commentators are also misleading me, what sponsor gimmicks, what marketing plan, are all deceiving!"

"There's that abominable Rochus! I was unwell during the game and I lost to Zhang Guan? You are simply not as good as others. You were blown away by Zhang Guan! You also found an excuse for being unwell. As professional players, even if they lose the game, they should admit it, and even I believe that you were unwell and lost to Zhang Guan because of it! Rochus, you pitman, you tricked me badly!
