Chapter 325: Group opponent

"Federer's decisive set to end Nadal's 81-game winning streak of natto clay"

"A great athlete needs a great opponent. On May 20, local time in Hamburg, Germany, the third part of the French Open warm-up match and the last important warm-up match Hamburg Red Clay Masters Finals, episode 11 of the "Bull Bean Wars" staged, in the end, the world's first Federer lost a set first, swept his opponent in the second set, and beat Nadal 2-6/6-2/6-0, ending Nadal's 81 clay-court winning streaks, also for the first time he defeated Nadal on clay. Both men will take a full week off to prepare for the French Open competition that will start 7 days later."

This is a report by a domestic media, followed by some details of the game described, the report is relatively pertinent.

Foreign media reports are not so satisfactory, and many media have even started the quiz of the French Open champion.

A British media writer wrote, "Federer finally defeated Nadal for the first time in the sixth clay-court match. The two recorded a record that Federer had nearly 4 wins and 7 losses. However, it is worth noting that when the two men competed in the final set, Federer broke three times in a row and beat Nadal 6-0. I think Federer must have found a way to deal with Nadal. If the two meet in the French Tennis Finals on June 10, Federer has a better chance of winning!"

This British media is more optimistic about Federer.

The French media is more optimistic about Nadal. After all, Nadal has been king here twice in a row. His audience base in Paris is larger than Federer's.

"Although Federer defeated Nadal in the Masters Hamburg yesterday and won the championship, it cannot be ignored that the two players played on the clay court. Federer is still at an absolute disadvantage with 5 losses and 1 win. But during the last five times, the fact that the match was all in the final also tells us that Federer can only be called the second-best player on clay. In yesterday's game, we saw Nadal try to suppress Federer's backhand with his forehand, so that Federer does not have too many opportunities to hit the ball with his forehand, and in this clay court, Federer's backhand is invincible against Nadal's strong forehand. Federer is full of the unprecedented strong desire for the French Open this year, and he has been fighting from the beginning of the clay-court season with the assistance of coach Roche, the Australian old man will stay with Federer in Europe for training and training throughout the clay-court season. But even so, the author is more optimistic that Nadal will complete three consecutive French Open titles."

Zhang Guan read several news reports about the final of the French Open and found that the entire European media, Federer and Nadal were the most talked about besides Djokovic. His excellent performance a few months after the Australian Open and the quarter-finals of the French Open last year were regarded by the media as having the potential to win the championship. It is worth mentioning that Djokovic has risen to the sixth position in the latest ATP World Rankings.

"It's all about Federer, why haven't I seen my news. I haven't appeared on the field for a few months, and the media has forgotten about me habitually?" Zhang Guan searched for a long time and finally found a report about himself.

This is a handwritten article about the former tennis professional selection named Gordons. It is also a prediction of the French Open's championship. Some of them mentioned Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan successfully won the Australian Open a few months ago and also represented a successful transformation of the world track and field king, but since the end of the Australian Open, Zhang Guan has not participated in any tennis competition. We didn't see Zhang Guan at the Indian Wells, Miami at the Masters, Monte Carlo at the Masters, Rome at the Masters, and Hamburg which just ended."

"I once suspected that Zhang Guan was suffering from injuries, but according to reliable reports, Zhang Guan has begun to cooperate with former French Open champion Zhang Depei, and in the past few months, Zhang Guan has been training. Although we still don't know the specific situation, but I learned from the organizers of the French Open that Zhang Guan has determined that he will not miss this year's French Open."

"Even if his new coach Zhang Depei was the youngest French Open champion, I still don't think Zhang Guan is a candidate for the French Open champion. I judge that Zhang Guan's style of play is not suitable for the pace of the clay court. In the Australian Open game, Zhang Guan's fast serve is extremely threatening, but the ball speed on the clay court will be greatly slowed down; at the same time, Zhang Guan uses a lot of pre-net tactics in the Australian Open, but we all know that pre-net tactics are not suitable for fighting on clay..."

Zhang Guan carefully read the whole report. The author who wrote this report, Gordons, is not talking bad about Zhang Guan, but just made some corresponding analysis through the tactics used by Zhang Guan in the Australian Open game. It makes sense.

High-speed flat serve has always been a big scoring weapon for Zhang Guan. However, on the clay court, the power of fast service will be greatly weakened. The French Open's ACE ball mainly depends on an angle rather than speed. Also, Zhang Guan's play in front of the net in the Australian Open is also not suitable for the clay court. In Gordon's view, Zhang Guan's two scoring weapons have been abolished, and the prospect of the French Open is naturally worrying.

"Wait until the French Open, let you see how powerful the running and attacking methods are!" Zhang Guan looked at his watch, "How did I forget this thing? The match table for the French Open should come out today, and it's been a few hours, and the match table must have been announced long ago! If there is no accident, I will meet Davydenko again in the round of 16.

In the four Grand Slams, the grouping position of the 32 seed players is fixed, but the seed players can only meet in the third round at the earliest, so now Zhang Guan is most concerned about the opponents in the first two rounds.

Since he did not participate in any tennis match for more than three months, he was successively overtaken by Djokovic, Murray, Haas, and others, and fell to the 15th position in the world, so he will be divided into 2/4 Area.

Zhang Guan points to the French Open webpage. At this time, the grouping of the athletes has just appeared. Zhang Guan found his position in the 2/4 area quickly. But found that his opponent is an Asian name, nationality is South Korea.

"Hyung-Taik-lee, it's Lee Hyung-Taik! That was South Korea's No.2, now I'm the first in Asia, then Lee Hyung-Taik should be squeezed to third in Asia." He seems to know very little about Lee Hyung-Taik, so he searched for Lee Hyung-Taik's name.

"Lee Hyung-Taik a veteran born in 1976, is 31 years old this year. He started playing professionally in 1995 and has played for 16 years. The only time he won the ATP championship was at the 2003 Sydney Open, and in the Grand Slam, his best result is the top 16 of the US Open in 2000. The current ranking is 42nd. Players of this level are no threat to me!"

Zhang Guan did not care that his opponent was Lee Hyung-Taik. A player who has been playing tennis for more than ten years and can only be ranked in more than forty, and has won only one ATP championship, in Zhang Guan's view, there is no threat at all.

...

"The first round of the French Open, Lee Hyung-Taik VS Zhang Guan, men's tennis Asian "first" battle! "

This article in the Korea Herald introduced that Lee Hyung-Taik will encounter Zhang Guan in the first round of the French Open. Subsequently, this article quickly aroused discussion in the Korean media and the public, and most of the discussion was "Lee Hyung-Taik only needs to win against Zhang Guan, and he will be the first person in Asian tennis!"
