Chapter 360 Who Can Stop Zhang Guan!

"Your opponent in the next round is not Ljubicic, but Matthew." Coach Zhang continued: "After losing one set first, Matthew won three sets in a row and beat Lyubi 3-1. Sitch."

"Matthew? The Frenchman? I remember that he is ranked forty in the world. How can he be so good that he can beat Ljubicic?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

"It's not Matthew's problem, but Ljubicic's problem. Matthew played normally, but Ljubicic's performance was really bad. He caught one of 11 break points. Such a state How is it possible not to lose. So you don't have to worry about the next game, just play your normal strength.

Zhang Guan nodded in agreement, and at the same time felt sorry for Ljubicic. At the Australian Open, Ljubicic's ATP ranking was still No. 4 in the world, but now he has fallen to No. 15 in the world. This year's Ljubicic is obviously not in good form. He was upset in the first round of the Australian Open and stopped in the third round of the French Open. Today's Wimbledon Ljubicic also lost in the third round.

Zhang Guan's opponent in the next round, Matthew, whose full name is Paul-Only-Matthew, is a French player. He is 25 years old this year and ranks 41st in the world, lower than Verdasco, whom Zhang Guan just defeated. one. However, Matthew played very well in this year's Wimbledon. He defeated the No. 17 seed Spaniard Ferrer in the second round, and today he defeated the No. 15 seed Ljubicic.

In the eyes of many people, Matthew has already shown the attitude of a dark horse, and some people expect Matthew to be a black horse to the end, including Matthew himself.

But Matthew also knows that his opponent in the next round is Zhang Guan, who is far stronger than Ljubicic and Ferrer. Perhaps Zhang Guan is even the strongest in the world on the Wimbledon grass. opponent.

On June 30, although the Wimbledon schedule was severely delayed by days of rainy days, and the whole day of heavy rain made the 30th the day with the worst delay, the All England Club, the organizer of the tournament, insisted on not arranging a match on Sunday (July 1). According to tradition, the first Sunday after the start of Wimbledon is a rest day without competition, but due to the continuous rain near London in recent days, the competition has been postponed continuously. By the 30th, there are still many third-round matches in the men's singles and women's singles that have not been played. It stands to reason that it is entirely possible to use the weekend to catch up on the games that were missed before, but the British obviously did not intend to do so. They still chose to follow Tradition.

In the six days since the opening of Wimbledon in 2007, there has been only one game without rain. The rest of the match days were filled with all kinds of rain: drizzle, torrential rain or intermittent showers. Since the arena is an open-air grass field, as long as there is rain falling, the game will be interrupted. Fortunately, the game has reached the third round, and the number of games has been greatly reduced, which will not affect the overall progress of the game.

On the eighth day of Wimbledon, Center Court, after the fourth round of the two women's singles matches, the fourth round of the two men's singles matches will follow. The first is Federer's game, his opponent is the German golden boy Haas. The game was over before it started. Haas retired because of abdominal discomfort, and Federer was able to advance. Federer became the only Wimbledon player who could enjoy four consecutive days of rest this year. He even had time to make an appointment with a hair stylist , to give myself a new hairstyle.

On another venue, Nadal, Federer's old opponent, was much more miserable. Because of the rain, Nadal's previous three matchdays were terminated. Counting today, Nadal has four consecutive matchdays All through the game. However, due to the delay of the game due to rain, Nadal has to face the devil's schedule of five games a week.

The match between Zhang Guan and Matthew was originally held in the fourth game on the center court, but due to Haas's withdrawal, Zhang Guan's game was also pushed forward, and he will start the contest with Matthew in the third game.

In the first set, Matthew served first. Matthew's first serve is pretty good, with both speed and angle, but his second serve is really bad. For Zhang Guan, Matthew's second serve can be said to be no threat. So at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan entered the state relatively quickly, and then took advantage of the weakness of Matthew's lack of heat and lack of strength in the second serve, and took the lead in breaking serve, and then both sides protected serve. After four rounds, the score became a tie. 3-1, Zhang Guan takes the lead temporarily. At this time, Zhang Guan played more actively and proactively, and Matthew was obviously not used to Zhang Guan's style of play. In the fifth and seventh rounds, Zhang Guan broke serve. In the first set, Zhang Guan won 6-1 took the lead.

In the second set, Zhang Guan increased the line changes and strengthened his serve return. And Matthew was not willing to fail. After absorbing the lessons of the first set loss, he also made adjustments in tactics, increased the rotation of the ball and the change of the landing point, mobilized Zhang Guan on the two sides, and successfully kept the ball. Zhang Guan won his first three serve games, but then Matthew made two unforced errors in his serve game. Zhang Guan did not miss the opportunity and successfully broke serve to lead 5-3, and then easily held serve in the ninth game After that, the next victory was 6-3.

In the third set, Zhang Guan continued his previous good form, broke Matthew's serve and established a 2-0 lead. In the ensuing game, Zhang Guan played proactively and did not give his opponent any chance in his serve. He broke serve again in the third and fifth innings to expand the result to 5-0. The sixth game was Zhang Guan's serve to win the game. At this time, he felt hot and his attack was in full swing. However, Matthew had completely lost his resistance. Zhang Guan easily secured his serve and won the third set 6-0. In the game, they defeated Matthew 6-1/6-3/6-0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

"Who Can Stop Zhang Guan? "

Zhang Guan won again. In today's game, he defeated the French player Mathieu with a score of 6-1/6-3/6-0. The big 'dark horse' of this year's Wimbledon, Matthew, did not go all the way to the end, and the result did not exceed everyone's expectations before the match. With Zhang Guan's current state, it is indeed impossible for Matthew to defeat him.

It is worth noting that so far, Zhang Guan has not lost any set in this Wimbledon. He has swept his opponent 3-0 in every game, and no opponent can support 10 in one set. Bureau above! There were even several 6-0 appearances. This fully demonstrates Zhang Guan's super strength on the grass court. He is like Sampras back then. He dominated Wimbledon in front of the net.
