Chapter 331 Powerful factions also need to fight for acting skills (third shift)

On June 1, the sixth match day of the French Open, Philippe Stadium, the main stadium of the French Open.

The first match at Phillip Stadium was women's singles Jankovic vs. Venus Williams, followed by Federer vs. Stares. Zhang Guan vs. Monfils was scheduled for the third match.

Federer won easily 3-0, but instead of leaving immediately, he stayed on the court, waiting to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Monfils.

Monfils is a Frenchman. As soon as he appeared at the Phillips Stadium in the home game, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the audience. The audience obviously knew that Monfils was a player who liked to perform. Most hope to see Monfils make a few wonderful "show moves" in the game.

As for Zhang Guan, although he holds the title of a tennis Grand Slam champion, his popularity is still not as good as that of Monfils.

The two sides immediately entered the first set. Monfils was very passionate from the beginning. He ran very fast and his feet were very flexible. Very delicate technique and strong physical talent.

In the first two rounds, the two sides tested each other, and then Zhang Guan began to strengthen his running and began to use the running attack style. Faced with Zhang Guan's quick empty-handed switch, Monfils was caught off guard and his rhythm was disrupted.

"It's this move again! Zhang Guan started to take the rhythm again. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Monfils." Federer in the stands sighed softly.

On the court, Zhang Guan's movement became more frequent. He switched from defense to offense several times in a row, causing Monfils to make frequent mistakes in returning the ball, and then took the lead in breaking serve.

Monfils doesn't seem to be surprised by this result. Although he became famous when he was young, his career as an adult has not been smooth. The top four tennis kings of the year, Djokovic has been ranked sixth in the world, Murray has also been ranked tenth in the world, but Monfils has been hovering in the 50s, so he has no After losing the attitude of being number one in the world when he was a teenager, his mentality is now very low.

Although today is a home game, the opponent is Zhang Guan, who is ranked 15th in the world. Random Monfils has no plans to win. For Monfils, entering the third round of the French Open is already considered a qualified result.

However, Monfils is playing at home after all. Facing tens of thousands of French spectators at the scene, he certainly cannot easily surrender.

"Zhang Guan's strength is really strong. His movement is faster than mine, his forehand accuracy is no less than Federer's, and his spin strength is similar to that of Nadal. And he uses this set of tactics. Constantly improve the rhythm of catching the ball. If I continue to play like this, it will be difficult for me to find a sense of rhythm." Monfils looked around while thinking.

"The French Open is my home game. Even if I can't beat Zhang Guan, at least I have to play a wonderful game and dedicate it to my home fans!" Monfils thought of this and started his "performance career".

...

"Wow... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" After the exclamation, the audience shouted excitedly.

On the field, Zhang Guan put a small ball. After the ball landed, it did not bounce too high, but bounced lightly and was about to hit the ground.

I saw Monfils sprinting a few steps, and then threw himself directly on the ground, while extending his arms, the racket returned the ball over the net, and also hit a diagonal.

This extremely exaggerated way of catching the ball is obviously in line with the appetite of the audience, and there was continuous applause at the scene.

Monfils stood up and also showed a happy smile. Although he was behind in the score at this time, the applause from the audience brought him an unparalleled sense of satisfaction. He enjoyed this feeling very much, this feeling of being praised by others. At this moment, he felt like the hero on the court, surrounded by stars like the moon in the center.

Memphis suddenly became excited.

A few minutes later, Zhang Guan returned a forehand to the right, and at this time Monfils had already started running, and he found that he was running in the wrong direction.

It was already too late for Monfils to run back. He turned around 180 degrees like a ballet dancer, then leaned forward and swung the racket just in time to hit the tennis ball. Due to inertia, he fell to the ground again.

There was another exclamation and applause at the scene.

A few minutes later, Monfils sprinted to an emergency stop, and lay flat on the ground with his racket sticking to the ground, saving the ball...

A few minutes later, Monfils did not choose a good running route, and seeing that he was about to collide with the ball, he jumped up suddenly, crossed the flying tennis ball with a hurdle movement, and then stretched the racket to the ground. Hitting the crotch, an air-walking crotch shot returned the tennis ball to Zhang Guan's half court...

The audience at the scene suddenly boiled.

"Beautiful, so beautiful! A crotch shot in the air!"

"Tennis can still be played like this, it's really imaginative!"

"Gail (Monfils), I love you!"

"Gal, come on! We support you!"

Several very beautiful saves, some successes and some failures, but all of them are very interesting to watch. However, the audience at the scene liked to watch this very much. At this time, everyone almost overwhelmingly supported Monfils.

Federer looked around, hearing the chants of support for Monfils.

"Monfils' performance-style style of play is indeed very attractive to the audience, and Monfils' state is getting better and better because of the cheers and cheers from the audience. Zhang Guan may face more and more The pressure is coming." Federer smiled, and he looked at Zhang Guan in the arena, obviously wanting to see how Zhang Guan would respond.

In the first set, Zhang Guan won 6-4, but Zhang Guan didn't feel the joy of winning. The atmosphere at the scene made him feel a sense of depression.

Monfils looked elated. He immersed himself in and enjoyed the cheers of the audience. He liked the feeling of being the focus of everyone.

"Sure enough, as Coach Zhang said, although I was in the leading position in the score, I fell into a kind of passiveness on the scene." Although Zhang Guan could not understand French, he could also feel that the audience at the scene clearly It is more hope that Monfils will advance. Although playing at home is one of the reasons, but more importantly, Monfils' performance style of play is very entertaining.

Zhang Guan didn't like this feeling very much. He recalled Monfils's exaggerated saves with performance elements just now, and suddenly felt that if he did it himself, the effect might be better.

"Isn't it just a competition of acting skills! I can do it too!" Zhang Guan stared at Monfils in the distance, and said in his heart: "I used to rely on my strength for a living, but it's pretty good to fight for acting skills once in a while. Today we will come Let's fight to see who is the hero on the field!"
