Slow Federer

On the tennis court behind the hotel, Zhang Guan tested the effect of equipping a tennis racket.

"Sure enough, as I expected, equipped with a tennis racket, from serving to receiving, as long as the racket is used, it has been improved in all directions." Zhang Guan stopped and estimated the test results in his heart.

"In terms of accuracy, it has been improved by at least 10% to 15%. This improvement can determine the outcome of the match. It used to be difficult to control the landing point of many difficult balls, but now the ball's landing point is controlled better so it's much easier."

"Also, there is also a spin ball, whether it is topspin or sidespin, it feels easier than before. I can achieve the effect of the previous spin with less force. If the force is greater, the spin will be greater than before with more intensely."

"This racket can bring me so much ability improvement. It seems that the tennis shoes in the system also need to be bought." Zhang Guan found the column of shoes sold in the system mall and bought a pair of all-terrain tennis shoes.

In tennis, active running is the key to winning. With data analysis, 50% of tennis's victory depends on the running of the sport. If you want to run better, tennis shoes are essential equipment.

The front of the tennis shoe is fully covered with rubber, and the two sides have longer extensions, which is conducive to the athlete's emergency stop. The front foot of the shoe is often thicker, which is to make the athlete more stable when moving laterally, and it can be the second half of the tennis shoe is relatively small, which allows the athlete to retreat more quickly and act wisely.

In reality, the design of the soles of tennis shoes is different in different competition venues. The grass field is preferred to have a sole with a gel pattern. The sandy ground should have a wide wave groove sole. The most used is the hardcourt's smooth sole with a fine herringbone pattern. Of course, if you are not very professional, you can also use a comprehensive function sole, which can be adapted to all types of venues.

The tennis shoes in the system are less complicated. The biggest advantage of equipping a pair of tennis shoes in the system is to improve Zhang Guan's mobility. Zhang Guan's original mobility is very good but now equipped with tennis shoes, he is even more powerful.

"One racket and one shoe, my strength has probably improved by nearly 20%, so the chances of facing Federer are relatively large. Tomorrow's game, as long as the luck is not bad, I should be able to win!" Zhang Guan carefully. After thinking for a while, he shook his head again. He removed all the rackets and shoes he had equipped from the system and put them in the inventory temporarily.

"Let's not equip rackets and shoes first. After all, it's a Grand Slam final, and the opponent is Federer. Don't show all the cards."

...

On January 28, which was also the 14th matchday of the Australian Open, at 4:30 in the afternoon, the main venue of the Australian Open, Rod Laval Stadium, ushered in the last Australian Open game, which was also the Men's Singles Finals, against both No. 1 seed defending champion Federer and non-seed player Zhang Guan.

This game, which is regarded by the media and the public as having no suspense, still attracts a lot of audiences, especially in Australia. There are many Chinese-American audiences. They even rushed to Melbourne from all over Australia to cheer for Zhang Guan.

In China, the CCTV Sports Channel, which is responsible for broadcasting this game, also started the Australian Open special program as early as one and a half hours, playing the highlights of the game during the promotion of Zhang Guan. The host and Coach Su also seemed to be counterparts. The crosstalk was average, and the talking continued for more than an hour.

In Australia, the broadcaster's focus is entirely on Federer.

"Federer has won nine Grand Slam trophies, and today he will hit his tenth Grand Slam trophies. It's incredible. Federer is only 26 years old this year. It looks like he is very promising to hit the world record for Plath's fourteen Grand Slam titles!"

"Yeah, and because Nadal stopped in the quarterfinals, Federer has continued to secure his place in the world. The Grand Slam final has 2000ATP points. But even if Nadal enters the final, he is unlikely to overtake Federer to become the first in ATP points, after all, the difference between the two is close to 4000 points!"

"What are Federer's current ATP points? Is it more than 8000?"

"Well, let me take a look. If Federer wins today, he will continue to rank first in the world with 8120 points. If he loses, his point is 7320, which is also ranked first in the world! Nadal ranked second in the world, who only a bit more than 4,000 points."

"In this way, the Grand Slam runner-up can get 1200 points, Zhang Guan should have no points! If he wins the runner-up 1200 points, where would he rank?"

"Probably the 22nd place! If Zhang Guan wins the championship, 2000 points are enough to put him in the top ten in the world, yes, it happens to be the tenth place!"

"The first time you enter the ATP world rankings, you can enter the top ten position, he should be to create history! But Zhang Guan's opponent is Federer, so it is almost impossible for Zhang Guan to win. But if he is ranked 22 in the world, he will still create history! The Grand Slam runner-up 1200 points are already more than the ATP1000 level event championship points. After all, the ATP1000 event has only 1,000 points for the championship, which is 200 points less than the Grand Slam runner-up. He should be satisfied."

Finally, the sponsor's representative ended the speech before the finals, and the men's singles finals were about to begin.

"Audience friends, you are now watching the finals of the 2007 Australian Open men's singles event. The first seed Federer of the defending championship match against non-seed player Zhang Guan. It is worth mentioning that this is Zhang Guan first professional tennis match, he entered through the wild card, and he became the first wild card to participate in the Australian Open but reached the finals. Now the first match between the two sides has begun, Federer will start serving first!"

"Federer will sometimes be slower and hotter. I don't know how he is today." Zhang Guan was ready to catch the ball, but with the referee's "OUT", Federer made a mistake.

Immediately after the second serve, Federer used a signature topspin. Federer's topspin service, the landing point is very accurate, and the angle of the bounce is very low, coupled with a strong topspin, it is also very difficult for the receiver.

However, the speed of this kind of ball is not fast. If the opponent is a bottom-line player, and the movement ability is better, Federer's power of this topspin service will be greatly reduced. For example, Nadal uses the bottom line of defense, and Nadal is the most mobile player among professional players, so Federer's topspin serve poses a very limited threat to Nadal.

Zhang Guan's mobility is not inferior to that of Nadal, and at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan also chose the bottom line of play, so Federer's topspin serves, almost does not pose a threat to Zhang Guan. Then they only held each other three times, Federer made a mistake and hit the ball out of bounds.

The first point of both sides, in Federer's serve, Zhang Guan temporarily led.

"Federer's condition looks very general, is the opening slow again? It seems that I have a chance to break in the first game!"

"In the beginning, I bought a pair of running shoes in the system, which greatly helped to improve the speed. Now that I have to face Federer, it should be the time to use the tennis racket."
