Chapter 359 Winning Streak and Advancement

The next day, the ball king Sampras once again faced the reporter's camera.

"Is Zhang Guan my disciple? No, no, no, I haven't taught Zhang Guan any net playing skills."

"Why is Zhang Guan's style of play at the net the same as mine? I think it's normal. Ten years ago, tennis players all over the world were studying my style of play, just like everyone is studying Federer now. At that time There should be a lot of video and text materials preserved, which is enough for people to study for a long time."

"Can you learn how to play at the net by watching videos and written materials? It may be difficult for ordinary people, but there will always be some geniuses in this world. Zhang Guan is undoubtedly a genius! The world of geniuses, it is normal for ordinary people not to understand of."

"Of course I am optimistic that Zhang Guan will win the championship. In fact, before yesterday's game, I was still a little hesitant, but after watching yesterday's game, I have confirmed this. Zhang Guan's net play style is the same as that of me at my peak, I think he can sweep anyone at Wimbledon."

At the same time, Zhang Guan also accepted interviews from the media.

"Sampras is my idol. A long time ago, I was studying Sampras's style of play at the net, and I was trying to imitate his style of play. You know, the style of play at the net is Wimbledon. The most powerful style of play in the world, and I also hope to use this style of play to win the Wimbledon championship."

"Personal guidance from Sampras, if possible, it would be great! Of course, I am very much looking forward to learning the world's strongest front-of-net play from Sampras.

Facing the reporters, of course Zhang Guan wanted to flatter Sampras in a beautiful way. After all, he is a senior in tennis, and he was once the world's top player. Praising the other party is definitely the best choice. The more mature an athlete is, the less likely he is to say that he has surpassed a certain famous senior, or that he is about to beat a certain famous senior. Speak it out of your mouth, not out of your own mouth.

There were no upsets on the first day of Wimbledon, Federer and Roddick all advanced smoothly, but several games were postponed to the next day due to heavy rain. In the next day's game, strong players such as Nadal and Djokovic also swept their opponents 3-0 and successfully advanced to the second round.

On the third day of the Wimbledon competition, Zhang Guan ushered in his second round match. His opponent was Thailand's Udom Chok.

Udom Chok is 26 years old this year, which is the golden age of a tennis player. However, as an Asian player, the lack of physical talent also limits Udomjok's room for improvement. His technical characteristics are also similar to those of most Asian athletes. His strength is relatively weak, but his movement is very flexible.

Weak players tend not to have a strong serve, and at Wimbledon, if the serve is not strong enough, it means that half of the game has been lost, so the result of this game is already doomed.

...

On the center court, Udomjok has completely lost the will to resist. Now the two sides are playing the third set. In the first two sets, Zhang Guan defeated Udomjok with two 6-0. The score of the three sets also reached 5-0, and Udomjok was about to swallow the third zero egg.

"It's no wonder that Lee Hyung-taek couldn't even win a set. It turned out that it was so difficult to win a set from Zhang Guan. We are all Asian athletes. How can we be so powerful!" Udomjok His heart was completely out of playing, and he surrendered naturally.

...

"In the second round of the Wimbledon Tennis Open that ended today, the third seed Zhang Guan continued his good momentum and easily defeated Uzbekistan with a score of 6-0/6-0/6-0. Domjok successfully entered the third round. During the game, Udomjok had no way to deal with Zhang Guan's net play. Whether it was the offensive end or the defensive end, he was completely suppressed by Zhang Guan. It makes the game no suspense. Zhang Guan's next game will be held on June 29, and his opponent is Spanish player Verdasco."

Coach Zhang turned off the TV and said, "Finally, we have met a decent opponent in the next round. This Verdasco is 24 years old and is currently ranked 40th in the world. He is a Spaniard and Nadal." So his style of play is somewhat similar to that of Nadal, with a strong forehand topspin. This style of play is good for Guo Xu in the French Open, but it may be difficult to achieve good results in Wimbledon. But be careful. Wannian Ship, don’t take it lightly during the race.”

Zhang Guan nodded. In fact, there are many excellent tennis players in the West, such as Robredo, Ferrer, Ferrero, Moya, etc., all of which can be ranked among the top twenty in the world, but Nadal's brilliance is really Too dazzling, it is easy for everyone to overlook other outstanding players in Spain.

...

On June 29, Zhang Guan faced Verdasco in the third round of Wimbledon.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan launched an attack and caught Verdasco by surprise. The first four rounds were tied 4-0. This score made the first game of the two sides no suspense. In the end, Zhang Guan Also won the first set with a score of 6-2.

In the second set, Zhang Hang, you made persistent efforts. You broke serve in Verdasco’s first serve, and then established a 2-0 lead. Then both sides kept serve, and the score rose to 4-2 alternately. Zhong Zhang Guan broke serve again in the seventh game, and successfully secured serve in the eighth game, winning the second set 6-2 again.

In the third set, Verdasco's state finally improved. He also changed his tactics and chose to surf the Internet more frequently. At this time, Verdasco also knew that a bold attack is necessary, and his bold attack has indeed achieved very good results. At least in the first eight rounds of the game, Zhang Guan did not break his serve. After eight innings, the scores of the two sides were tied at 4-4. But in the next two games, Verdasco's many unforced errors made him unable to maintain a fierce offensive, and finally Zhang Guan won the third set with a score of 6-4. As a result, he also won the whole game and successfully advanced to the top sixteen of Wimbledon.

Verdasco shook his head in disappointment, but he also knew that he had no chance of winning this game. But for him, who is ranked 40th in the world, being able to enter the third round of Wimbledon is already considered an excellent result.

...

Walking in the player tunnel, Zhang Guan asked, "My opponent in the next game should be Ljubicic! I have never played against Ljubicic before."

"It's not Ljubicic, but Matthew." Coach Zhang said.
