All-round Athlete

Chapter 246 Misleading

On the second match day of the Australian Open, there were no surprises. The top-ranked seeded players defeated their opponents one after another, which was as everyone expected before the match.

The only thing that everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Guan won!

Zhang Guan defeated Roches with a total score of 3-0, and the scores of the three rounds were 6-0, 6-3 and 6-0, a completely crushing victory.

If it is said that Zhang Guan's victory over Roches is still acceptable to some people, then this result is unimaginable. Although Roches is not a seeded player, it is not enough for others to abuse him. Zhang Guan, the wild card of the sponsor, is a "back door" player in everyone's eyes.

An amateur who competed through the "back door", a track and field athlete who was considered the weakest player in the first round, actually defeated his opponent in a Grand Slam and broke into the second round. I feel incredible.

However, someone immediately expressed doubts, that is Chris Guccioni! He was interviewed again.

"What is Roches doing? Can't he even win a track and field athlete? I really don't know how he won the Wimbledon doubles championship! 3-0 score, double-bagel! I heard that in Zhang Guan's In the first serve, Roches didn't even touch the ball, which is incredible!" Guccioni showed a look of surprise.

The reporter on the opposite side asked provocatively: "Mr. Guccioni, Roches' singles world ranking is obviously higher than yours, but he lost to Zhang Guan, does it mean that Zhang Guan's strength is stronger? Be stronger, is he more suitable for this wild card than you?"

"Zhang Guan defeated Roches, which means that he is stronger, so he deserves this spot more than me? No, no, I don't think so at all. How can a track and field athlete beat Roches? Normal Under the circumstances, Roches will definitely beat Zhang Guan, I think the problem must be Roches! If I played, I would have blown Zhang Guan up!" Guccioni said immediately .

The reporter seemed to have caught some clues, and he said, "Do you mean that Roches deliberately let the water go, and lost the game?"

"Hehe." Guccioni smiled strangely: "I don't know, I've never said that before, you should ask Roches about this question!"

Guccioni's interview quickly turned into a conspiracy theory.

"We all know that Zhang Guan is able to participate in this year's Australian Open by relying on the sponsor's wild card. For a track and field athlete to participate in the Tennis Grand Slam, Zhang Guan's sponsor must have spent a lot of money, so the sponsor Of course I don’t want Zhang Guan to be eliminated in the first round.”

"At the same time, many people questioned whether Zhang Guan was eligible for the wild card before the game. If there is another round, it can prove that Zhang Guan's strength can reach the level of a professional tennis player, which is a kind of maintenance for the credibility of the Australian Open Organizing Committee."

"Based on these two bold guesses, it becomes reasonable for Roches to lose the game."

Although this point of view did not explicitly state that the match between Zhang Guan and Roches was a fake match, the implied meaning was already very obvious. However, this kind of conspiracy theory can easily attract the attention or approval of ordinary people. Even Roches, who lost the game, got into trouble.

...

"Of course I didn't fix the match! I'm a professional tennis player, I have my professional ethics, how could I fix the match!" Roches yelled at his agent Tom, even his own agent didn't trust himself, This made Roches extremely angry.

"Then how do you explain that you lost to Zhang Guan?" The manager obviously didn't believe Roches' statement.

"How to explain? God knows how I lost!" Roches thought of yesterday's fiasco, and his mood suddenly became bad. He continued: "Such a fast serve, and such a fast moving speed, he begs me Can’t catch, he can catch my serve, and then I lose! It’s that simple.”

"Okay, okay, don't be so excited, it's meaningless to discuss how you lost now, and now many media are asking how you lost, and they are all questioning that you deliberately let go of water during the game!" The manager said explain.

"Let the water go on purpose? What good can I do! Before these people accuse me, can they use their brains!" Roches said.

"But we need an explanation, an explanation for the public," the agent said.

Rocheston fell silent for a moment. Do you want to admit to the public that your level and experience are not as good as Zhang Guan's, so you were defeated by Zhang Guan in the game? Although this was true, Roches felt that it would be a very humiliating thing. A former Wimbledon doubles champion who can't beat a first-time rookie would make him the laughingstock of the tennis world.

"No, I can't publicly admit that my strength is not as good as Zhang Guan! I have to find another excuse!" Roches thought about it carefully, and said, "Just say that I suddenly felt unwell during the game, so for Many of Zhang Guan’s serves were too late to respond. By the way, make an appointment with the doctor for me to have a physical examination, so that everyone will believe that I lost to Zhang Guan because of my own health.”

...

Sebastien Grosjean is the 28th seed at the Australian Open.

In some competitions, in order to prevent stronger players from meeting in advance, seed players will be set. The Tennis Grand Slam will set 32 ​​seed players, and the ranking of the seed players is based on the world ranking at that time. When the competition is grouped, the seeded players will be separated deliberately. The seeded players will not meet until at least the third round. The top 16 seeds will meet in the fourth round, and the top 8 seeds will need to go to the quarter-finals In order to meet each other, and so on, if the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the tournament want to face off, they must go to the finals. It is also this kind of competition system. In the finals of tennis matches, there are often duels between the first and second in the world.

Grosjean, the No. 28 seed of the tournament, ended his first round match on the first match day. His luck was very good. His opponent retired due to injury, and he only played a little more than one set , successfully advanced to the second round. In the second round, what he had to face was the winner between Zhang Guan and Roches.

Grosjean always thought that his opponent in the second round would be Roches, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guan would advance in the end, and he still won with a crushing score. This caught Grosjean by surprise, and he felt like he was being raided.

"It's too bad, I should have gone to see that game yesterday! The previous pre-match preparations were all aimed at Roches, but I didn't expect Roches to be eliminated by Zhang Guan! Speaking of Zhang Guan, the wild card player, what is it?" How did you get rid of Roches!" Grosjean sat in front of the computer very restlessly, browsing the latest news about the Australian Open.

"Roches lost to Zhang Guan only because of physical discomfort"

This title immediately attracted Grosjean, and Grosjean clicked on it. The general content in it was that Roches felt unwell during the game, but he insisted on finishing the game, which is why he lost to Zhang Guan by a big score.

"It looks like this! I said that Zhang Guan couldn't win Roches. It turned out that it was because of Roches's own health. In this way, I was relieved. This Zhang Guan's luck is really good, it's so easy I picked up the first victory of my career, and it was the first victory of a Grand Slam. But I was also very lucky. In the first game, my opponent was injured and retired in the middle of the game. In the second game, I met Zhang Guan, an amateur player. Having said that, I still don’t know anything about Zhang Guan. Although he may be very good, he still needs to prepare before the game! Go fast forward and watch the video of Zhang Guan’s game against Rochester yesterday!”

...

Director Qu is undoubtedly one of the people who care about Zhang Guan the most, and the news that Zhang Guan successfully entered the second round of the Australian Open was also known to Director Qu immediately.

"Zhang Guan was lucky enough to pass the first round! When is the second round?" Director Qu searched for a while on a sports portal, but there was nothing in the detailed schedule of key games. Find Zhang Guan's game preview.

"Why not? By the way, why did I forget that Zhang Guan has already been blocked by me, and his information will definitely not appear on this page!" Director Qu's mood suddenly improved a lot: "Even if you pass the first round So what, you are blocked now, who in China will know that you won the Australian Open?"
