Olympic Tennis Opener

On August 9th, the Olympic Games officially started, and on this day, there was no competition for Zhang Guan.

The track and field event will not start until a few days later, so Zhang Guan first appeared in the tennis game on August 10, and this game is also the opening game of the Olympic tennis event.

"The first round of tennis men's singles is scheduled to be held on August 10 and August 11. We know that we will also participate in basketball and track and field competitions, so the first round of your tennis is specifically scheduled for August. The first game on the 10th is also the opening game of the Olympic tennis game. So you can take a day off on August 11." Director Liu on the phone continued, "We will also take care of you in the schedule of the next game. At this time, this Olympic Games is our home stadium, and the organizer is also our own, so the game time is also our calculation."

"Thank you Director Liu for taking care of me." Zhang Guan said politely.

"Where and where, these are what we should do, but you. Don't put too much pressure on the game, just play normally. By the way, I have something to tell you about the tennis opener. In the first round, your opponent is Lu Yanxun, you must know him?" Director Liu asked.

"I know, he is a Taiwanese player. Although I haven't played with him or communicated with him, I will meet him after the meeting." Zhang Guan said.

Director Liu then said, "In the tennis opener, we want you and Lu Yanxun to have a special deep bond, after all, it is the Olympic Games, a rare event that has been seen for decades, and it is a grand event for all of us Chinese, so we must also reflect that the compatriots on both sides of the strait are a family, have a common bloodline, a common culture, a common connection, a common vision, to show that the blood flowing in our bloodline is the blood of the Chinese nation, and our spirit firmly adheres to the soul of the Chinese nation. That's why the tennis opener was arranged. Should you understand?"

"When you say it like this, I understand. It turns out that you are releasing goodwill to the other side. I thought you wanted me to kill Lu Yanxun in the first round!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Of course you have to kill Lu Yanxun, otherwise how will you get promoted, but when you kill Lu Yanxu, you also have to show our sincerity and friendliness." Director Liu said.

"Uh, sincere and friendly? How do I show that? Director Liu, don't beat around the bush, just say it!" Zhang Guan said.

"What we mean is that when you play, you'd better get some people. After all, you are Taiwan compatriots. It's not easy to come to the Olympics. Give some face to others. Don't let the other person lose too much..." Director Liu said awkwardly.

...

At the same time, in the Olympic Village, the leader of the Taipei team tennis team is in Lu Yanxun's room.

"Your opponent in the first round turned out to be Zhang Guan, which is good news for us. Although Zhang Guan's world ranking is still very high, he has not played tennis for eight months! An athlete, who hasn't played in eight months, how much strength is left now? I'm afraid his technique is already rusty." The leader shook his fist and said excitedly.

"But Zhang Guan is a Full Slam champion player after all, and it took him only a year to get a full slam last year, and his strength is definitely above me!" Lu Yanxun said.

"How can you raise others' prestige and extinguish your ambitions! Zhang Guan has indeed achieved good results, but that only represents the past. Another thing you should note is that Zhang Guan only focused on one goal in the Grand Slam game, and now in the Olympic Games, in addition to participating in tennis, he also has to participate in several events in track and field. I heard that he still has to play basketball. An athlete's energy can't take care of so many sports at the same time." The leader is still confident.

Lu Yanxun shook his head helplessly. This team leader was too naive. The so-called thin and dead camels are bigger than horses. The world's top players like Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic are all in Zhang Guan's hands. They Can't win the next set of games, how can he beat Zhang Guan?

The leader seemed to see Lu Yanxun's lack of self-confidence, and then he said, "This is a golden opportunity for us. As long as you defeat Zhang Guan, you will be our hero in Taiwan. The meaning behind this is no less than a gold medal! And we want to tell those mainland buns that our Taiwan is far more developed than them in tennis!"

Lu Yanxun sighed helplessly, any "Taiwan hero" is false, and the leader's last sentence is his real intention. Although the Olympics do not involve politics, the Olympics can also be seen as another stage for wrestling.

In recent years, the mainland's economy has developed rapidly, but Taiwan's economy has stagnated. Taiwan has been surpassed by the mainland. The original poor relatives have become rich overnight. Many Taiwanese people will inevitably have a sour feeling in their hearts. This is the case with this team leader, especially when he finds that the mainland's big cities are more developed than Taipei, the kind of vinegar in his mind becomes stronger and stronger. But he is unwilling to admit the rise of the mainland in his heart, so he hopes to defeat Zhang Guan, a benchmarking figure in the mainland sports industry, on the stage of the Olympics, and also find himself a psychological comfort.

...

At 10:30 in the morning on August 10, the opening game of Olympic tennis officially started on the main court of the National Tennis Center.

Zhang Guan is fighting at home, and of course, he is popular, and Lu Yanxun, as a player from Baodao Taiwan, has also received a lot of applause and cheers.

"Audience friends, the upcoming opening game for the men's singles in the Olympics is Zhang Guan against Lu Yanxun. Lu Yanxun's world ranking is not high, but it has been eight months since the end of last year's Masters since he participated in a tennis match, I don't know what the state of Zhang Guan's game is now, so Lu Yanxun can be regarded as a touchstone! Well, the players on both sides are ready, the game is about to start, Lu Yanxun is the first to serve!" The commentator stopped the words and prepared to enjoy the game quietly.

In the first ball, Lu Yanxun used the service to get on the net, and took the lead to score points; then Lu Yanxun scored once and the score was already 30-0; immediately after the third ball, after the two people held each other for nearly 10 shots, Lu Yanxun used his forehand again. Get a copy, at this time the score is already 40-0. Lu Yanxun has got the first game.

Zhang Guan then used a backhand to mobilize a backhand and pulled back a goal, the score was 40-15. Immediately afterward, Lu Yanxun sent an ACE ball and won the first game.

On the sidelines, the Taiwan team leader applauded excitedly, as if victory was already in sight.

"The first game was won so easily. I said earlier that Zhang Guan has not participated in the competition for more than eight months. The original good competitive state has long been gone! Now Zhang Guan is not the player he used to be, today, Lu Yanxun will win! Let this group of mainland buns know how powerful we are! Lu Yanxun, keep up your efforts and break the game!"

...

On the other side, Zhang Guan took a sip of water and looked at the scoreboard.

"Well, a game has been given. Everyone is Chinese, which is also worthy of compatriots on the other side, and it is time to fight seriously."
