Chapter 308 Stronger (Part Two)

Zhang Guan did suddenly become stronger, from the moment he was equipped with a tennis racket and tennis shoes, he became stronger.

The racket and sneakers have helped Zhang Guan improve his strength by more than 10%. Although it doesn’t look like much, but in the competition at the world’s top level, this 10% increase in strength will become an unstoppable advantage when it is displayed on the field. .

Federer's face was stern. Even if the ball just now was barely saved by Zhang Guan, Federer still held a huge advantage, but in the process of stalemate, Federer's advantage was worn away bit by bit. The two sides gradually turned into a balance of power, and then Zhang Guan suppressed Federer. In the end, it was Federer who lost the ball.

"Whether it is a forehand or a backhand, Zhang Guan's hitting power has become stronger and faster, and the spin of the ball is also stronger than before. Although the speed of the ball is not much faster, the spin is not much stronger than before. , but if the two are added together, the lethality of the ball can be completely raised to a higher level! And the speed is also, although it is only a little higher than before, but this increased speed has raised his defense to a higher level." Federer tight He locked his eyebrows and stared at Zhang Guan, as if he wanted to see through Zhang Guan.

At present, Federer has not felt that Zhang Guan's ability to control the ball has also increased. He only noticed that Zhang Guan's ball speed and spin have increased, and the movement speed has also increased. In fact, the improvement of these three points is not much. If one of them is used alone, it will not be able to threaten Federer, but the addition of the three points can be said to be a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change, which has achieved an all-round improvement of Zhang Guan's comprehensive strength.

"How did this sudden increase in strength come about? Apart from using stimulants, the only explanation is that he was hiding his strength before!" Thinking of this, little bits of cold sweat emerged on Federer's head.

"There are tens of thousands of eyes on Zhang Guan all the time on the field. It is definitely impossible for him to take doping, and the champion will have a drug test after the game. Doping will be detected. It seems that Zhang Guan was in the previous game. It really hides its strength!"

There was horror in Federer's eyes, and there was even a trace of despair in the horror.

In the first two sets, Zhang Guan was already on par with Federer, and if Zhang Guan was hiding his strength, Federer knew that he definitely had no hope of winning. What's more, the current score is still 0-2 behind Federer.

"The total score is 0-2 behind, and the strength of the opponent is still higher than mine. Unless there is a miracle, how can I win? Damn, this is the final of the Australian Open. I can't just lose like this! Federer clenched his fists tightly: "I'm not reconciled!"

Federer is really not reconciled. He can be said to have a smooth sailing in this Australian Open. He advanced 3-0 easily all the way. However, Nadal, who was the biggest threat to him, stopped in the quarter-finals early. This made Federer feel that the way to win the championship All the way was smooth, especially after defeating Roddick 3-0, Federer thought he had won the Australian Open title.

But Federer never expected that in the final final, he encountered one of the strongest opponents ever, and he was about to fall on the battlefield of the final battle.

"The game is not over yet, I can't lose! At this point, I can only fight!" Federer made up his mind.

Federer is known as the most stable professional tennis player. Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, Federer can maintain patience, handle the ball reasonably, and slowly deal with his opponent. The reason why Federer did this is that he firmly believed that he was stronger than his opponent, so as long as he played steadily, he would definitely win.

But today, Federer encountered an opponent who was stronger than himself. His steady way of playing was no longer feasible, so he decided to give it a try.

At this time, Federer still holds two game points, and he still has the capital to fight the ACE ball.

Next, Federer had a double fault.

Federer seldom double faults. His topspin serve is almost hit every time. Whenever he makes a mistake, Federer will choose to use a more conservative topspin serve. But today, Federer had to fight for his serve, even for the second serve, so a rare double fault occurred.

In the case of 40-30, Federer's serve was still at the limit. A tricky serve at a speed of 215 kilometers per hour caused Zhang Guan to make a mistake in receiving the serve. Federer finally won the first game.

...

"What's wrong with Federer? Why is he playing so aggressively? Is this the same Federer I'm familiar with?" Nadal looked at the TV with a dull expression on his face.

In Nadal's impression, Federer is always so stable. Even in the clay court of the French Open final, where Nadal has an absolute advantage, Federer is still playing steadily, whether he is leading or lagging behind.

But today, or in this game, the incomparably stable Federer of the past has disappeared. His style of play has become full of aggression. But he kept trying to take the initiative to attack, which was completely different from Federer's previous style of play.

Nadal didn't play, and he certainly doesn't understand the pressure Federer is under.

"Could it be that Federer started to worry after falling behind 0-2? Why is he so restless today? This is not Federer's style." Nadal was puzzled, and then he turned his attention to Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan played so steadily!" Nadal sighed involuntarily.

At this time, Zhang Guan was using a stable style of play. He reduced the number of times he went online, as if he hoped to play a stalemate with Federer.

"What's wrong? Zhang Guan is deliberately pursuing a stalemate, but Federer is forcefully attacking. Is this the opposite? Zhang Guan seeks stability while Federer plays aggressively. I'm not mistaken!" Nadal unexpectedly He pinched his arm to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Nadal looked at the TV with an extremely strange expression. Today's final was too abnormal. At this moment, Nadal even felt that the two on the court were playing a fake match! But if you think about the identities of the two players, one is the king of track and field and the other is the king of tennis, and they are in the Grand Slam finals. Of course, it is impossible to collude to play fake matches.

"What exactly is going on?"

...

In the next game, Zhang Guan easily kept serve and the score became 1-1. In the next two rounds, the two sides also kept each other's serve.

In the fifth game, the turnover rate of Federer's serve began to increase. He sent two ACE balls, and he also had a few beautiful serve points, but the number of turnovers was also a lot, and the scores of both sides began to rise alternately. After three "even points", Zhang Guan finally got a break point.

"Wow, Zhang Guan got the break point! Can he break serve?"

Federer chose to serve to the net on the next ball.

"Federer made a mistake. He took the initiative to hit the net but hit the ball out of bounds! Zhang Guan broke serve!"

"Unexpectedly, Zhang Guan took the lead in breaking serve in this set. This is the second break in this game! The last break was in the first game of the first set between the two sides, and Zhang Guan also broke serve. With that one break, I won the first set!"

"The score was 3-2, Zhang Guan took the lead, and then Zhang Guan served! Is Federer going to lose this game? Is Federer going to be swept 3-0?"

Looking at the scoreboard on the sidelines, Federer felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

"Zhang Guan is really stronger than me!"
