Not optimistic

"Go back out of bounds! Gonzalez back out of bounds! Zhang Guan won! We congratulate Zhang Guan for advancing to the Australian Open final! Zhang Guan became China's first player to advance to the Grand Slam men's singles final, he is also the first Asian to advance to the Grand Slam Men's Singles final, we congratulate him!"

"The score of 3-0, Zhang Guan defeated the 10th seed of the tournament, Gonzalez who was in excellent condition, this is a crushing victory, and in the next final, Zhang Guan will challenge the defending champion, the world number one tennis king Federer! We also look forward to Zhang Guan's continued efforts!"

"Next, please allow Coach Su to analyze this game for us!" The narrator said while looking on Sun to direct.

Coach Su coughed and said, "This can be a very exciting battle. Gonzalez was originally an offensive player. In today's game, Zhang Guan used the offensive type of play as well, so the two sides played a counterattack. Since it is a counterattack, then the two sides are more fierce about their offense. Whose offense can cause more pressure on the opponent? At this point, Zhang Guan has better offense!"

"Also, Gonzalez doesn't seem to be very suitable for this type of attack, because in general, Gonzalez's opponents will choose not to counterattack to respond to Gonzalez's attack, so Gonzalez also good at dealing with defensive players, such as Gonzalez last game against Nadal, Gonzalez won. But today Zhang Guan chose a different strategy, he chose to use the attack to attack him, which makes Gonzalez very uncomfortable."

"The last thing I want to say is that Gonzalez did not adjust his tactics well, he is too obsessed with the offense. We know that Zhang Guan is a track and field sprinter and the fastest man in the world. In terms of muscle explosiveness, it must be better than Gonzalez, so he can defeat Gonzalez in the offensive battle. Since Gonzalez finds that his attack is not better than Zhang Guan, he should adjust the strategy of the game, don't go against Zhang Guan's forehand, you should try to attack Zhang Guan's backhand, maybe you can get better results..."

The commentator next to him stared at Director Sun with contempt and was in this studio. At the same position two hours ago, Director Sun also vowed to advise Zhang Guan not to fight hard with Gonzalez, but Gonzalez's backhand should be attacked. But after only two hours, the speech directed by Sun came with a 180-degree turn, and now it has become advice to Gonzalez to not to fight hard with Zhang Guan forehand but to attack Zhang Guan backhand.

As a professional guest commentator, Coach Sun can still stand the test. At this time, he did not have the consciousness of hitting his face at all. Instead, he continued to comment on the two professional players' strengths and weaknesses.

...

Zhang Guan successfully advanced to the finals of the Australian Open, which became the headlines of the major media sports sector the next day.

For all the sports events in the world, the semi-finals and finals do not get the same attention. Many sports events last for a few months or a year, and tennis grand slam matches also last for two weeks, so sports fans cannot keep an eye on every game. The vast majority of sports fans will only care about some more important events, and the final is the most concerned.

Before the start of the Australian Open, many fans were looking forward to the match between Federer and Nadal, looking forward to the contest between the world's first and the world's second, and looking forward to the collision of their rivals. Federer entered the final very smoothly, but Nadal stopped in the quarterfinals. Instead, the wild card player came into the finals.

This result made many experts' predictions fail. Zhang Guan was also regarded as a black horse in the Australian Open and a spoiler. Losing Nadal in the Australian Open final was also considered a failure. For the suspenseful game, Federer will inevitably defend the title.

Federer is now at the peak of his career. The perfect technique and excellent condition he has shown are worthy of the title of "Tennis King". And Federer has the advantage to defend the champion, so apart from Chinese fans, no one thinks that Zhang Guan can defeat Federer.

In this regard, many media in Melbourne have also conducted some surveys, including professional tennis players, tennis coaches, sports commentators, and the general public.

...

In the evening, the Australian Open special program is broadcasting a TV station's investigation of the finals.

The first appearance was an interview with tennis star Ljubicic, "Federer will win! I am optimistic that Federer is not just because he is my friend, but because he has unparalleled techniques."

"Of course I hope Federer will win! You know I was eliminated by him. If it is eliminated by the champion, it should not be too shameful!" Djokovic laughed as he said.

"I haven't played with Zhang Guan, so I don't know him. But I know Federer very well, so I think Federer should win!" Nadal's face appeared on the TV. He spread his hands and then said, "If Zhang Guan wants to defeat Federer, I suggest that he can learn my style of play! Yes, the defense of the bottom line, my style of play is the best way to rival Federer!"

The next interview is a famous Australian sports commentator, "Zhang Guan has shown extremely strong strength in this Australian Open game. Every player he defeated is very strong. Grosjean's net serves, Nalbandian's backhand, Haas's all-round, Davydenko old-fashioned, Gonzalez's violence... In the face of these powerful opponents, Zhang Guan won 3-0 in every game! This fully shows that he is a very strong player. But this time, Zhang Guan is facing Federer. I don't see any possibility in Zhang Guan winning!"

As for ordinary fans, they are one-sided support for Federer. So in the next few interviews, all local fans in Melbourne thought that Federer would win the championship.

"It doesn't seem that everyone is optimistic about you!" Sharapova said as she turned off the TV.

"That may not be necessary." Zhang Guan pointed to the computer screen and said, "At least the Chinese audience is supporting me. If you look at this portal survey, more than 90% of the netizens are supporting me! It's you, and tomorrow you will face Williams. She is a very difficult opponent!"

Zhang Guan showed a worried expression.

However, Sharapova was full of confidence, "The last time I lost to her, it will be my revenge tomorrow!"
