Chapter 347 Let the national anthem resound and let the national flag fly!

"Regardless of the outcome of Sunday's final, this year's clay court season has been the best of my career. I've scored more points than last year, but the most important thing is my tennis this year is at the highest level. And the world To play against the best player in the world, in the final of a Grand Slam against the greatest player in tennis history, it will definitely be a fun match," Nadal said to the camera.

After accepting the post-match interview, Nadal returned to his residence. Next, he has to prepare for the game wholeheartedly. Although the experts seem to be overwhelmingly supporting him, Nadal doesn't feel sure of winning. Nadal watched the match between Zhang Guan and Federer in the semi-finals. Zhang Guan's performance made Nadal full of fear.

So after Nadal returned to the room, he began to watch the videos of Zhang Guan's previous rounds of the French Open.

"Rafael!" A familiar voice sounded from behind Nadal, speaking of his uncle and coach Tony. I saw Tony coming forward, holding a large bottle of champagne in his hand.

"After you win the French Open for three consecutive times tomorrow, let's open this bottle of champagne to celebrate! I have been looking for high-quality French champagne for a long time." Tony said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, I haven't won the championship yet! Zhang Guan is a very strong opponent. Is it too early to talk about this kind of thing now?" Nadal said.

Tony didn't seem to hear Nadal's voice, but he said to himself: "Miguel called me just now, and he has a game tomorrow night, so I can't witness your three consecutive French Open championships with my own eyes, but he let me know." I convey my best wishes to you! After you return to Spain, he will go back to see you."

The "Miguel" in Tony's mouth is Miguel Angulo, the midfielder of the Valencia team in La Liga. He is Tony's younger brother and Nadal's uncle.

Nadal was born in a sports family with several professional athletes, so he was able to enter the best tennis school in Spain and be able to achieve today's achievements.

Nadal was a little annoyed, and his mood suddenly became a little irritable. When Nadal was still having a headache about how to deal with Zhang Guan, his uncle was actually discussing the celebration of victory after the game.

"Uncle, Zhang Guan is very strong, really strong! I may not be able to defeat him!" Nadal said.

Tony put down the champagne, looked at Nadal seriously, and said, "Why do you have such a strange idea? Listen, Rafael, this is the French Open, you are the king here, no one can Beat you on this field! Unless you are the first to admit defeat, you think your skills are inferior to others!"

"How could I admit it!" Nadal said here, suddenly realizing Tony's intentions.

Nadal is indeed the king of the French Open clay court. He has won the French Open for two consecutive years. This year, his goal is to win three consecutive championships. Perhaps that is the case. He seems to care too much about this three consecutive championships. Facing the When facing a strong opponent like Zhang Guan, he began to look forward and backward, and he became a little unconfident. He was worried that he would not be able to win, that he would lose the final, and that he would not win the three consecutive championships.

At this moment, Nadal suddenly awakened, and he instantly regained his confidence.

"Yes, Uncle Tony is right. I am the king of the French Open, and I will definitely win the final victory! In this arena, no one can beat me, not even Zhang Guan!" Nadal's eyes were full of concentration confidence.

Tony next to him smiled with satisfaction, his goal had been achieved.

At the world's top level like Nadal, there is no need to give him technical guidance, and coaches are not allowed to enter the court in tennis matches, so the tactical guidance is not very effective, it all depends on the players Make adjustments on the spot. Especially when there is only one day before the final, as a coach, all you can do is help your players psychologically.

...

"Tomorrow's final, you have to prepare for the away game. After all, Nadal is a Spaniard." Sharapova continued: "This is France. France and Spain are two neighboring countries. From Madrid to Paris, If you take a car, it only costs 60 euros, and if you fly, it will take two hours. So in tomorrow's final, there will definitely be many Spanish spectators. Another point is that Nadal has won two consecutive championships at the French Open. He has a lot of fans in France."

"It's okay, I'm used to playing away games." Zhang Guan smiled, and then said: "I remember when I participated in track and field competitions in 2005, it was like this. The whole of Europe was my away game, but by 2006, Europe had changed. It's my place!"

"In addition, I suggest you prepare a national flag." Sharapova continued.

"Prepare the national flag? This is also popular in Grand Slams? Wearing the national flag around the field?" Zhang Guan asked. He knew that in track and field competitions, the winners had the habit of wearing the national flag around the field, but in the Grand Slam, Zhang Guan had never seen anyone wearing the national flag around the field.

I only heard Sharapova's introduction: "Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open will engrave the names of previous champions on the trophy. If the name is engraved on the trophy, the first way is to add a base to the trophy Continue to engrave; if the base is also engraved, then get a new trophy, start from scratch, and put the old trophy in the museum. In addition to engraving the names on the trophy, the Australian Open will also hang photos of previous men’s and women’s singles champions On the wall of the tunnel, so that every player on the way to the game will see the heroic appearance of these seniors, which you should have seen when you participated in the Australian Open before."

Zhang Guan nodded and said yes, and Sharapova went on to say: "But the French Open is different from other Grand Slam events. They will raise the national flag and play the national anthem for the winner. You should notice that there are flagpoles around the court. There are a lot of flags!"

Zhang Guan nodded, and there were many flagpoles erected around the stadium, all of which were hung with national flags, including Spain, Brazil, the United States, Argentina, Russia, Austria, Sweden, Belgium and so on. They are all European and American countries, so Zhang Guan didn't care too much.

"According to the regulations of the French Open Organizing Committee, once a French Open champion is born in a certain country, the national flag of that country will be permanently hung on the flagpoles around the court." Sharapova said.

"It turned out to be like this!" Zhang Guan's eyes lit up immediately, and he clenched his fists nervously and excitedly. He felt that this was more important than holding the musketeer cup at the French Open.

"Tomorrow, I will let our national anthem resound throughout the stadium, and let our national flag float over the French Open forever!"
