All-round Athlete

Chapter 373 Advance All The Way (Part 2)

Ever since he became a track and field athlete, Zhang Guan has been very interested in breaking records. Obviously, there are not so many world records in tennis for Zhang Guan to break. Now that he encounters a world record for serving speed, Zhang Guan will certainly not miss.

Coach Zhang seemed very conservative, and he said, "Don't be too careless. Roddick was ranked No. 1 in the world. If Federer and Nadal were not too strong, Roddick would probably be able to continue To stay number one in the world, his strength and experience are top-notch, and it’s your first time playing against him, and you don’t know each other well, so it’s better to be a little cautious.”

Zhang Guan nodded in agreement, and then said: "Then besides Roddick, what difficulties do I have? Federer?"

"Federer is the second seed. If you want to meet him, you have to wait until the final, and Nadal is the third seed. If Federer wants to enter the final, he must first pass Nadal in the semi-final." Coach Zhang pointed out Pointing to the 2/4 icon on the computer screen, he continued: "Federer is the second seed, so he will meet the third seed Nadal in the semifinals, and you are the first seed, so you are in the semifinals." The opponent is likely to be the fourth seed."

"No. 4 seed? Djokovic?" Zhang Guan clicked on the list of divisions in the 2/4 districts, and sure enough, he saw Djokovic's name.

"The fourth seed is Djokovic, and his current points are almost catching up with Nadal. And two weeks ago, in the Montreal Masters match, also on the cement field, Djokovic defeated Federer and won the championship. Djokovic is one year younger than you, but his strength is really strong. I think he is the most likely to become the next Federer among the young athletes. "Coach Zhang said here, suddenly changed his voice, and continued: "You are not included in the young athletes I am talking about. You are better than Federer."

"Coach, your judgment is really accurate!" Zhang Guan said.

Although the future Djokovic has not reached the height of Federer, the time to occupy the number one in the world is not much shorter than Federer. From 2011 to 2016, Djokovic is basically in the other time. In the world's number one position, it is rarely squeezed to the second place. Especially after 2014, Djokovic's points can often reach an astonishing 16,000 points, which is more than double that of the second place, and the lead is unshakable.

Although the current Djokovic has no future dominance, in the next few years, he has been chasing Federer and Nadal, becoming the strongest tennis player after them.

"First Roddick, then Djokovic, and finally Federer waiting for me in the final. It's really troublesome to win the US Open!" Zhang Guan muttered to himself.

...

When the grouping of the US Open was announced, the sports world also entered the US Open time. Although the influence of the US Open is not as good as that of Wimbledon, it is also comparable to that of the French Open. After all, the U.S. Open is held in the United States. In the most sports-developed country in the world, the U.S. Open has received even more attention than the French Open.

The closer to the game, the more discussions about the US Open. Especially on the Internet, some tennis forums are full of various discussions among netizens. What everyone is arguing about is who can win the U.S. Open. Among them, Zhang Guan, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Ronaldo, etc. Dick and others are considered favorites to win the championship. Some professional sports people also express their opinions through blogs or writing articles. At the same time, ESPN also invited several tennis experts to discuss before the game.

In a talk show, the ball king Pete Sampras and the Golden Slam winner Andre Agassi had an intense dispute over who could win the U.S. Open championship. The two legendary stars were old enemies when they were players. Now both sides insist on their views, and neither side is willing to back down.

Sampras undoubtedly supported Zhang Guan to win the US Open championship, but Agassi expressed his preference for Federer.

The reason why Agassi is optimistic about Federer is because Agassi was also a bottom-line player back then, and even the bottom-line style of modern tennis was created by Agassi. So of course Agassi will support Federer, who also uses the baseline style of play.

"Federer has won the U.S. Open for three consecutive years, which is enough to prove his strength! If Federer wins the championship this year, he will win the U.S. Open trophy for the fourth time. You must know that no one in the world has ever won the U.S. Open. If he wins four consecutive tennis championships, Federer will make history again!" Agassi said.

Sampras immediately said: "Zhang Guan has won three Grand Slams this year, and he is only one US Open away from winning the Grand Slam. There are not many grand slams in the world to win the Grand Slam within one year." Personally, I can do it! Moreover, Zhang Guan participated in the professional tennis competition for the first time. A player won the Grand Slam in the first year of professional competition. This is not only a history, but also a miracle. !"

"But don't forget that Federer has won three U.S. Opens in a row. He has ample experience in Flushing, while Zhang Guan is participating in the U.S. Open for the first time." Agassi said.

"This year's Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, Zhang Guan participated for the first time, didn't he also win the championship!" Sampras continued: "In the Wimbledon competition, Federer also won the championship four times. Experience, but still defeated by Zhang Guan. It is said that Federer has been defeated by Zhang Guan three times this year!"

The faces of the two legendary stars were arguing, while the host put on an appearance of watching the excitement, and ESPN's ratings were also soaring.

...

On August 27, the US Open officially started.

Zhang Guan's opponent in the first round was Jenkins, a native American player with average reputation and average strength. In the end, Zhang Guan defeated Jenkins with a score of 6-2/6-1/6-2. This is a contest of disparity in strength. In this game, Zhang Guan scored 90% of his first serves and broke more than 50%. These two statistics alone are enough to ensure Zhang Guan's victory.

On August 29, Zhang Guan defeated Chilean player Capdiville again with a score of 7-5/6-1/6-1 in the second round. Capdiville's style of play is similar to that of his fellow "Chilean Cannon" Gonzalez. They serve fiercely and hit the forehand powerfully. This style of play is actually very suitable for the US Open, but Capdiville The stability of the game is far inferior to that of Gonzalez, and there is a feeling of Cheng Yaojin's three-axes. At the beginning of the game, he played very fiercely. If the "three axes" didn't work, Capdiville would change from a "big villain" to a "good baby".

The opponents in the first two rounds said they were strong or weak, and Zhang Guan had the right to warm up to find his condition. In this way, Zhang Guan easily advanced to the third round of the US Open. His opponent in the third round was the American player John Isner.
