Audiences who have watched that game know that Gasquet's loss was not wronged at all, it was a crushing game. It wasn't because Gasquet wasn't strong enough, nor was it because Gasquet didn't play well, it was just that his opponent Zhang Guan was too strong.

Who can stop Zhang Guan at Wimbledon? This topic was brought up again, and fans began to discuss this topic enthusiastically. In the end, almost all fans remembered the same name - Roger Federer!

"I think at Wimbledon, only Federer can beat Zhang Guan!"

"Who can beat Zhang Guan? It must be Federer! But to be honest, I think the possibility of Federer beating Zhang Guan on the grass court is not great, and it is probably possible on the hard court."

"Federer may have hope to defeat Zhang Guan! But it's a pity that the two will meet in the semi-finals earlier. I think it will be a better result if they can meet in the final."

"Actually, I am more optimistic about Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's net play style is the same as that of Sampras back then. This is why I am optimistic about him."

"The next game is the semi-final. The match between Zhang Guan and Federer should be regarded as an early stage of the final! I think whoever wins among them will win the final championship. And Nadal and Djokovic? This is grass after all, I don’t think a defensive player like Nadal will be the opponent of Zhang Guan or Federer, as for Djokovic, he is too young!”

Looking at the interviews with fans on TV, Zhang Guan smiled slightly and said, "Too young? Djokovic is only less than a year younger than me!"

"Professional tennis is full of talents now! Players are getting younger and younger. In this year's Wimbledon semi-finals, only Federer is 26 years old, you and Nadal are both 21 years old, and Djokovic is only 20 years old A group of young men in their early twenties appearing in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam, I can't imagine it!" Coach Zhang sighed and continued: "In the era when I played, players generally had to be 25 years old Only later will the results be achieved.”

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Zhang Guan joked: "Others can talk about youth, but you are the only coach, but you don't have the qualifications. Don't forget who is the youngest Grand Slam champion in the world!"

Coach Zhang smiled awkwardly. He participated in the US Open at the age of 15, and was only 17 when he won the French Open. This record has not been broken so far. In this way, Coach Zhang is indeed not qualified to comment on the progress of the players. younger.

Coach Zhang changed the subject, and then said: "Tomorrow's semi-final, don't take it lightly. Although you have defeated Federer twice in a row, Federer in Wimbledon is very strong. Although he is not as good as you at the net However, his serve and backhand slice can play a great role in Wimbledon. Coupled with his precise forehand, maybe in Wimbledon, the power of Federer's style of play is not inferior to yours. Playing at the net."

"I understand that after all, Federer has won Wimbledon four times in a row. Four years ago, the immature Federer was able to dominate Wimbledon. Now that Federer has become stronger, I will be cautious." Zhang Crown said.

...

The semi-final between Zhang Guan and Federer is regarded as the pinnacle match of this year's Wimbledon. The level of the two players on the grass court is far superior to other players. It is almost certain that no matter who they are Anyone who enters the final can win the Musketeer Cup.

The semi-finals started on July 7th. The two semi-finals were held on two courts at the same time. The match between Zhang Guan and Federer was arranged on the center court.

After a brief warm-up, the match between the two sides officially started, starting with Zhang Guan's serve.

Federer was still slow, and Zhang Guan did not show a strong will to resist in Zhang Guan's serve, nor did he have a strong resistance, allowing Zhang Guan to win the first game relatively easily.

Zhang Guan realized that Federer was a bit slow, so he stepped up his attack in the second set, hoping to take advantage of Federer's lack of heat to break first, but Federer relied on his old experience to hold his own after a tie. In the serve game, the two sides scored 1-1.

In the third game that followed, Federer's state improved slightly, but it was still difficult to make a difference in Zhang Guan's serve game. After Zhang Guan served, the score of the two sides came to 2-1.

In the subsequent fourth game, Federer's first serve success rate suddenly dropped. He could only rely on changes in the rhythm of the baseline and surfing the net to keep his serve, but this became precarious when Zhang Guan frequently surfed the net.

"Unexpectedly, Federer fell into a passive position at the beginning!" The commentator continued: "Federer is still a bit slow, but Zhang Guan's sharp attack obviously did not intend to give Federer a chance to warm up. Now Zhang Guan has won the break point. "

Following the commentator's words, Zhang Guan took the lead in getting the break point 40-30.

"ACE!" At the critical moment, the serve saved Federer, and an ACE ball by Federer made the score 40-40. But then, Federer made a mistake in his next serve. He chose to serve to the net for the second serve, but Zhang Guan perfectly resolved it. Then Zhang Guan turned from defense to offense and took the lead.

When it was critical again, Federer tried to serve an ACE ball again, but this time Federer's serve was not able to help him. The ball went out of bounds, and the referee did not make a penalty immediately, and Zhang Guan immediately chose to challenge Hawkeye.

Hawkeye showed that the ball was indeed out of bounds, Federer needed to serve again, and Federer chose to serve to the net again, Zhang Guan chose a risky attack, and finally succeeded, then Zhang Guan made persistent efforts, and after two shots he successfully took the ball. After this game, a break was achieved.

The score at the scene became 3-1, and then Zhang Guan served again. After this round, the score came to 4-1 without any suspense.

"After five rounds, the score was 4-1. This seems to be a relatively disparate score. Could it be that Federer, like other players, can't even survive 10 rounds? It seems that at Wimbledon, Really no one can stop Zhang Guan's progress, not even Federer."

Amidst the sighs of the commentator, both sides started the sixth game. This was Federer's serve. In this round, Federer made no mistakes and successfully secured the serve, tying the score to 4-2. Breaking Zhang Guan's serve, let Zhang Guan get the match point with a score of 5-2.

In the next eighth game, Zhang Guan hit a lob shot in an extremely passive situation and surprised the audience, but Federer made a double error when the two sides were evenly divided. This was undoubtedly a big gift for Zhang Guan. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Guan successfully broke serve and won the first set between the two sides with a score of 6-2.

...

"At the end of the first set, the score was 6-2. Federer didn't seem to be in the game, but Zhang Guan was getting more and more courageous. The score was too different. I really didn't expect Zhang Guan to face Federer. In the first set, It is still so easy to win the match, it seems that for Zhang Guan, Federer is no different from other opponents."

At this moment, I saw Federer walking towards the player tunnel.

"What's going on, Federer walked into the player tunnel! He retired! Could it be an injury? Is Federer going to retire due to injury?"

The audience was suddenly in an uproar. Many people had worried faces, and many people even stood up from their seats.
