The best at creating miracles

When he reached 3-3 in the second set, Nadal continued to implement his tactics. He had thought that the game could be delayed until the final tie-break, but he did not expect to be taken by Zhang Guan in the next game. It's a break.

When Nadal chose the bottom line, this ending was already doomed from the start. Countless predecessors have used facts to prove that on the grass field, the front of the net is better than the bottom line and the offensive is better than the defensive. When Nadal first started using the bottom line, Zhang Guan's playstyle was not very suitable at first, so the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but when Zhang Guan adapted to the bottom line, the advantage of playing in front of the net was reflected. All kinds of network access and an interception in front of the ball instantly made Nadal's defensive full of loopholes.

A ball from Nadal was judged out of bounds, he immediately chose the Hawkeye challenge, but failed, it was during this ball that Zhang Guan broke again successfully, the game came to 4-3, then, Zhang Guan's serve in the game, the score was rewritten to 5-3 again, and won the set.

In the crucial ninth game, Nadal continued to serve, and the two had offense and defense. After Nadal led 30-15, Zhang Guan's return to the ball allowed Nadal to get the game, but then Nadal also gave Zhang Guan a return ball out of bounds, 40-30. Next, Zhang Guan put a ball in front of the net after cutting the ball in the backhand. He successfully scored another point and the score was 40-40.

Zhang Guan then used a volley high ball, came to the net and chose a straight line, and took the lead, but the next ball Zhang Guan backhanded the ball to hang the net, the two sides came to a tie. Nadal's vigorous serve caused Zhang Guan to return to the ball out of bounds, taking the lead and achieving the point, but then Zhang Guan attacked Nadal sideways forehand and then intercepted a front of the net forehand, the two sides evenly divided.

It can be seen that no one wants to give up this crucial round. Nadal's short-tempered hopes to defend his game, he played very tenaciously; although Zhang Guan can win this game through volley in the next game, he is still pursuing a break.

After two more equalizations, Zhang Guan relied on a running volley high-pressure ball to take the lead again. This is Sampras' trick. Zhang Guan has used it many times before but at Wimbledon. On the court, the effect of this trick is better.

Next, Zhang Guan hit the net with the ball at the origin, forcing Nadal to return the ball and made a mistake. Zhang Guan also won the second set game with a 6-3 score.

Nadal shook his head in frustration. He had a hunch that he might lose the third set.

"In Wimbledon's arena, Zhang Guan can use too many weapons, he is very good at the bottom line, midfield, and in front of the net, especially his way of playing in front of the net. In terms of handling the ball, it looks like a veteran who played 20 years before the net! By comparison, I can only use the bottom line better." Nadal sighed, "We are all the same size, but the gap between me and him is so big, I started to practice tennis from a young age, from small to large, everyone said that I am a tennis genius, but compared with Zhang Guan, I am nothing..."

The next moment, Nadal rubbed his knee. He felt that the old knee injury seemed to be recurring, so he asked for a medical timeout. The doctor entered the field and treated Nadal's knee for a short time.

Perhaps he was affected by the injury. Nadal deliberately slowed down the pace of the game in the third set. Not only did the preparation time for receiving the ball become more, but the preparation time for the service also became more. Hawkeye was challenged once at the start.

The knee injury has a great impact on Nadal. He didn't play as hard as before, and the handling of the ball became more conservative. Nadal realized that he could no longer win, so he might as well take some protective measures. After all, for 21-year-old Nadal, his career is still very long, he still has many opportunities to win the Wimbledon championship, there is no need to bet on his career here.

Zhang Guan is still violently attacking, but Nadal put more experience on defense, which makes the game round longer, and sometimes there is a tug of war on the bottom line, but slowly, Nadal still takes The score of 5-2 lags behind Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan got the win and it was the match point of the whole game, and then Nadal's serve.

Nadal's serve quality has declined, but he still strives to keep his serve, but after a tie, Zhang Guan completed the break.

6-2, this is the score of the third set, and the result of the whole game is Zhang Guan defeated Nadal 6-1/6-3/6-2 and won the Wimbledon Open this year.

...

"Zhang Guan won the final victory, we congratulate him! We also congratulate Nadal for the runner-up, his performance is also very good!" The commentator took a deep breath and then said, "Today's game results may not be beyond the expectations of most people before the game. Zhang Guan, who is proficient in the attack, defeated Nadal, who is good at defense. This is normal at Wimbledon. However, it is worth noting that Zhang Guan got this year's third Grand Slam title, he is only a U.S. Open championship from the Full Slam!"

"Who would have thought that seven months ago, Zhang Guan was not even regarded as a professional tennis player, but seven months later, he swept the tennis world and won three consecutive Grand Slam titles. I don't know what words to use to describe all this. This is simply a miracle! Zhang Guan is indeed the best person in the world to create miracles."

"After the French Open final two weeks ago, Zhang Guan once said that he would get a full slam in tennis. At that time, many people thought it was a fantasy because even the Swiss king Federer has not yet got full slam. And two weeks later, the moment Zhang Guan took up the Challenger Cup, we found out that he was only one step away from the Full Slam. I think Zhang Guan is likely to honor his promise in September. It is possible to get a Grand Slam one step earlier than Federer and become the sixth professional male tennis player in the world to get a Full Slam!"

"If Zhang Guan can finally win the championship at the US Open in September, he will also be the third player in the world to win a Grand Slam in a year. Before that, Donald Buji had been in 1938. It took a slam in a year, and then in 1962, legendary star Rod Laver also won a slam in a year. But we all know that the times are different now that tennis is different from the past. Modern tennis has faster rhythm, more style of play, and more intense competition. It is almost impossible for modern tennis to get a slam in a year!"

"I just said that Zhang Guan is the best person in the world who can create miracles. He can bring us a miracle again! I want to wait until the moment of the US Open final in September, this mystery will be revealed!"
