Chapter 335: Effort and Talent (Part 3)

Federer's game is also on this day, and the venue is also Phillips Stadium. However, Federer's game was played in the second game, while Zhang Guan's game was played in the fourth game, and there was also a game between Jankovic and Bartoli. Although Federer wanted to watch Zhang Guan's game, he obviously didn't have the time to wait for two hours at the Phillips Stadium, so he went back to the hotel as soon as the game was over, and then watched the game live on TV.

"Davydenko played very steadily today. Even though Zhang Guan kept changing his offensive and defensive rhythms, Davydenko remained as still as a mountain, not giving Zhang Guan the slightest loophole!" Federer commented.

Although Davydenko is a "big brush" who participates in more than 30 competitions a year, he must be able to rank fourth in the world in points, which must have superior strength in itself. Although Davydenko is not a talented player, his basic skills are quite solid after hard work. Coupled with the game experience he has accumulated, once Davydenko decides to seek stability, it is indeed very difficult to break through his defense.

What's more, Davydenko is in a very good state in this French Open. In the previous rounds, he beat his opponent 3-0. For example, if Zhang Guan did not appear in this French Open, Davydenko would have to wait until halfway through. The final will be eliminated by Federer.

"Perhaps this steady style of play is a good way to deal with Zhang Guan, at least in the French Open." Federer murmured.

At this time, the match between Zhang Guan and Davydenko also entered the tie-break.

Thirty-two beats, thirty-nine beats, forty beats... This scene made Federer frown.

"Davydenko is still going to lose!" Federer said suddenly.

Mirka checked the score and asked, "Why is Davydenko going to lose? The score between the two sides is so tight that no one can break serve. It looks like a balance of power?"

"In the few rounds just now, there were at least 18 beats in a stalemate, and several times it was more than 20 beats, and then it was more than 30 beats, and the last ball was 40 beats." Federer paused. After a pause, he continued: "Although the rhythm of the French Open is slow, but such a long round of stalemate with several balls in a row consumes a lot of energy for the athletes."

If it is a flat shot, the two professional players will not feel too tired even if they hit a hundred and eighty shots, but the French Open is a clay court, and topspin is the best choice for a clay court, and flat shots are relatively rare. Especially in recent years, the emergence of Nadal has made topspin in the French Open, and all players have begun to use powerful topspin.

Hitting topspin puts a lot of pressure on the arm muscles. The more you pursue rotation, the more you need muscles to exert force to increase friction. Feeling tired.

At this time, Davydenko felt a sense of fatigue in his arms, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized.

"Zhang Guan deliberately played this kind of long-stroke stalemate!"

It's a pity that Davydenko was still one step too late. With the score of 5-5 in the tie-break, he had no chance and dared not change his tactics. He could only hold on.

The score came to 6-6, and it was another long-shot stalemate. After 30 shots, Davydenko made a counterattack. At the same time, he also felt that the rotation of his ball was very poor, and the speed was also very slow. Generally, almost a non-threatening counterattack.

The impact of the fatigue of the arm is most directly reflected in the degree of rotation of the ball. With the exhaustion of physical strength, Davydenko cannot maintain high-intensity friction between the racket and the ball, and naturally cannot maintain a high degree of friction. rotate.

The score of this round was finally fixed at 8-6, and Zhang Guan won the tie-break.

...

"Davydenko's physical strength is better than I imagined. I didn't expect him to last so long. Wait a minute, Davydenko seems to be the same age as Federer, both are 26 years old! He is in his prime, and his physical fitness is also good. It should be." Zhang Guan was thinking, while looking at Davydenko, Davydenko's thin yellow hair was shaved to only a thin layer, and the high hairline is even more thankful. top trend.

"Twenty-six looks like forty-six, I always imagine him as an older player!" Zhang Guan laughed at himself.

When Zhang Guan realized Davydenko's tactics of seeking stability, he also remembered Coach Zhang's reminder to play carefully and patiently, so Zhang Guan did not continue to attack, but thought about countermeasures in a stable stalemate.

Davydenko's image always makes Zhang Guan feel that he is not a young player. Zhang Guan subconsciously feels that the older players lack physical strength, so he formulated the long-shot strategy just now. First consume Davydenko's physical strength, and when he can't maintain a high-speed topspin, he will attack.

Davydenko can participate in more than 30 games a year, and his physical strength is certainly not too weak, but his natural physical fitness is relatively average, so his physical strength is not top-notch. In the end, he could not withstand the continuous multi-shot contest in the tie-break. Lost the first set.

In the ensuing second set, both sides still held more beats, but they still reached the tie-break.

The pace of the tie-break game was much faster. Zhang Guan was still using the same tactics just now, and continued to hold long shots. It was obvious that Davydenko's stamina was not as good as his own.

Davydenko also saw Zhang Guan's intentions, his expression showed a sense of helplessness, and he realized that his strategy of seeking stability had failed.

Davydenko's expression became silent. He knew that Zhang Guan was far stronger than himself in terms of physical fitness and athletic talent. Whenever he encountered such an opponent, Davydenko would always become silent.

Davydenko has no extraordinary athletic talent, top-notch physical fitness, and no outstanding technical characteristics. All he honors is hard work. He firmly believes that hard work can make up for weakness. He has also entered the ranks of the world's top tennis players by virtue of his hard work. But at this moment, he once again felt that powerless feeling. Facing Zhang Guan, who is extremely strong in physical fitness and athletic talent, even on the clay court where he is best at, Davydenko really couldn't find any way to win.

Davydenko put in ninety-nine percent of his efforts, but he lacked that one percent of talent!

...

In front of the TV, Federer looked at Davydenko regretfully.

"Nikola (Davydenko) is the hardest player I have ever seen. If he had better physical fitness and athletic talent, he would not be where he is today." Federer said.

"In sports, hard work is not enough. Physical fitness and athletic talent are more important than hard work." Mirka said with great emotion.

Federer was also very touched. He continued: "Davydenko's strategy of seeking stability seems to be very useful against Zhang Guan. I want to try it."

Mirka looked at Federer with some surprise, and Federer continued: "Davydenko lost in body and talent, not in tactics! Fortunately, I don't lack in body and talent. If I combine Davydenko's lack of two If you fill it up, you should be able to defeat Zhang Guan!"
