Chapter 300 Two Federers?

In the rest area beside the court, Zhang Guanzheng exclaimed how lucky he was.

"Thanks to Federer's slow start at the beginning, I got a break at the beginning of the game. Otherwise, in this set, I would have really reached the tiebreaker. I have never played a tiebreaker before. It's seven games!" Zhang Guan thought of the process of his promotion all the way, he was always able to break serve in every game, and he never played a tie-break.

"Perhaps so far, only Federer can force me to play to the tie-break!" Zhang Guan thought while changing a new racket and walked onto the field.

The first game of the second set was Zhang Guan's serve game. The difference from the beginning of the game was that both players felt and were in better shape, but their physical strength was not as strong as in the opening game.

It is precisely because of the improvement of the state and the decline of physical strength that the stalemate between the two sides has become more and more. At this time, the two are like two masters playing chess, constantly setting traps for each other, and constantly looking for each other flaws.

In the first four serve games, both Zhang Guan and Federer managed to keep serve, and neither of them was able to get a break point.

After four rounds, the two sides fought to a 2-2 tie. Federer used the gap between the two rounds to ask for a short timeout. He said that his clothes were soaked, so he needed to change. The referee, of course, granted Federer's request.

As Federer pulled out a new suit from his bag, he began to recall the last game.

"How did Zhang Guan guess that I was going to change the line with a backhand?" Federer shook his head a little depressed. See through Federer's tactical intentions.

"How many times is this already? I can't even remember how many times Zhang Guan has seen through my tactics! It seems that Zhang Guan has studied me very thoroughly before the game, and I feel like Ljubicic, too. I don’t know my tactics as well as Zhang Guan.”

Ljubicic is a good friend of Federer, and in the future, Ljubicic will become Federer's coach after retiring, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is very good. Among the active players, the one who knows Federer best, apart from his old rival Nadal, should be Ljubicic.

However, at this time Federer felt that even his good friend Ljubicic could not have seen through his tactics so many times like Zhang Guan.

"There seems to be something wrong!" Federer intuitively told him that there was a problem. He recalled the previous games, and recalled the moment when Zhang Guan saw through his tactics, and always felt something was wrong.

"Why do I feel that Zhang Guan seems to be using my own method to deal with me!" Federer closed his eyes silently, simulating the situation just now in his mind, but this time, he regarded himself as Zhang Guan.

"If I were Zhang Guan, facing that situation, I would choose..."

At this time, Federer seemed to be playing chess with himself, but he was able to understand the intention of the next step after seeing the moves, and at the same time simulated multiple possibilities in his mind.

"Zhang Guan's handling of the ball is very reasonable. If it were me, I would do the same."

Gradually, Federer had a strange feeling that he felt as if he was fighting another self.

"Fight against another 'me'?" Federer opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhang Guan who was not far away, and a bold idea flashed out of Federer's mind.

"Maybe we can really give it a try and deal with Zhang Guan as another 'I'!"

Federer stepped onto the court again, and now it was Zhang Guan's turn to serve.

Zhang Guan's first serve took the lead with an ACE ball.

Immediately after the second ball, Zhang Guan took advantage of the initiative of serving to continuously press Federer. After several consecutive shots, Federer did not find a chance to counterattack. Zhang Guan won the second ball smoothly.

On the third ball, Federer correctly judged the placement of Zhang Guan's serve. After receiving the ball smoothly, he used a change of line to balance the situation. At this time, Federer was also ready to practice his own ideas.

"If it were me, this ball would be pulled diagonally!" Federer made up his mind, and then ran to the other side of the court to prevent Zhang Guan from suddenly attacking the diagonal.

Sure enough, Zhang Guan directly attacked Federer diagonally.

"You guessed it, I will cut the frontcourt for the next goal!" Federer put himself in Zhang Guan's position, and once again came to a conclusion.

I saw Zhang Guan cut the ball with a forehand, and the tennis ball landed in the frontcourt with a very high speed.

This ball is not easy to catch, because the side spin of the ball is very strong. Although the ball lands in the bounds, but due to the side spin after bouncing, it will quickly fly out of bounds. If Federer is not prepared in advance , will be very passive.

However, Federer had already guessed Zhang Guan's intentions, he ran quickly, and directly attacked Zhang Guan's backcourt sideline with a challenge.

"I guessed it right again!" Although Federer took the ball, he was not at all happy, because he had confirmed that Zhang Guan's handling of the ball and the tactics he used were exactly the same as his own tactical thinking.

"Zhang Guan not only understands my tactical play, but also imitates my tactical play. How did he do it? Is there really anyone in this world who can read minds?" Federer was a little confused, He hesitated a little in catching the ball, and Zhang Guan scored another point.

...

In a fitness training center in Melbourne, Nadal dragged his tired body up and down a piece of exercise equipment. He looked at the electronic clock on the wall and realized that it was the time for the Australian Open men's singles final.

Thinking of the Australian Open final, Nadal shook his head dejectedly. In this Australian Open, Nadal was eliminated by Gonzalez and stopped in the quarter-finals, losing a chance to challenge Federer again. And because of this, on the contrary, it aroused Nadal's fighting spirit. For several days, he was immersed in high-intensity training, and he didn't even watch the next match of the Australian Open.

Now that Nadal has just finished a day of training, he suddenly remembered that it was the time for the final of the Australian Open, so he walked to the TV, and at the same time muttered to himself: "There should be two sets in the final, Federer? Isn't it already 2-0 up?"

The live broadcast of the game appeared on the TV, and the score displayed in the lower left corner surprised Nadal even more.

"Federer lost the first set? Will Federer lose to Zhang Guan? How did he lose? This is the only set that Federer lost in this Australian Open! Now it is the second set, a 4-4 draw ? Zhang Guan is so powerful?"

Nadal sat on the sofa with a bottle of water in his arms, and began to appreciate the match between the two.

"The fight was so intense! Zhang Guan returned the ball well, quite like Federer..." Nadal suddenly felt that the tactics between the two were very similar, almost like a system.

"Both of them are right-handed, and they both have one-handed backhands. How can they play the same way? It feels like two Federers are playing!"
