At this time, Zhang Guan was in a state of "confusion", because of Zhang Guan's lack of tennis knowledge, he did not know what kind of player Gonzalez was. His knowledge of Gonzalez was limited to the nickname "Intelligence Cannon".
So Coach Joyce began to explain the basic detail about him.
"Gonzalez has been learning to play tennis since he was seven years old. He was ranked first in the world in the junior category. He also won several men's singles championships when he was a youth. After entering the profession, his best result is seventh in the world. His style of play is famous for being fierce. It can be said that he is the most violent and brutal player among the top ATP players."
"Gonzalez's service is very good, and can often blast balls with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, which is very similar to yours" Coach Joyce looked at Zhang Guan and then said, "Among the seed players of the game, the most ferocious server is Gonzalez, besides the American player Roddick. Gonzalez and Roddick are the kind of players who are good at vigorous and fast serve, and the difference between the two is Roddick's serve is more stable, while Gonzalez's serve is not as stable as yours. When his condition is not good, his serving level may decline, but when he is in good condition, his serve will be even stronger than Roddick."
"Another thing worth mentioning is that his second serve is very strong. Our average players will seek stability during the second serve, but Gonzalez is different. His second serve is even harder than the first serve. The point is even more extreme. He may be the only player in the top ATP rankings at present, whose second serve is not weaker than the first serve."
"So what is the success rate of his second serve?" Zhang Guan asked.
"His way of sending out the second serve will result in a lower second serve success rate than the average player's second serve. However, it depends on the state that Gonzalez is in, the better it is the higher the success rate will be."
"In that game, it is possible to play against Gonzalez one to two!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Zhang Guan owns the experience book of the champion Sampras, and Sampras has always been regarded as the best player in the world in the second serve. In a normal men's singles player, the speed of the second serve is 20 kilometers slower than the speed of the first serve, but Sampras' second serve is about the same speed as the first serve.
Sampras' second serve speed can reach more than 190 kilometers, this speed has reached the level of the average player's first serve. However, the biggest headache for opponents is not Sampras' second serve speed, but the accuracy of Sampras' second serve. While maintaining the speed of the second serve, Sampras' second serve accuracy is not worse than the first serve.
Just listening to Coach Joyce introduce, "In addition to serving, Gonzalez's forehand is also very strong. His forehand is as fierce and tough as his serving, but his backhand level is relatively average. It's worth mentioning that Gonzalez doesn't know how to backhand the ball. Also, Gonzalez is a relatively good net player, but his pre-net level is not at the top, and his mobile ability is also not the fastest. So Gonzalez's net access is mainly based on a strong force."
"It sounds like this Gonzalez has many advantages and disadvantages!" Zhang Guan then asked, "So what kind of plays does Gonzalez use? Like today's Nadal, is his offense his weapon?"
"Gonzalez is an offensive player on the bottom line. His main style of play is to use offense for defense. When he is at an advantage, he will choose to attack. When he is at a disadvantage, he will still choose to attack. Gonzalez is an offensive madman. And when Gonzalez played out, his offensive will be very sharp. Just like the game you saw today, Gonzalez was crazy. Even Nadal is not his opponent." Coach Joyce said.
Although Nadal is very young, his defense is arguably the strongest men's professional player at present, and Gonzalez was able to break Nadal's defense, and score 3-0 against Nadal, enough to show that Gonzalez is in good condition. How terrible.
"Then what should I do in the game? Attack Gonzalez's backhand?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The best way to deal with players like Gonzalez is to not let him play well. As long as he doesn't feel the state, Gonzales can play 70% or 80% of his strength, but once he feels his state, Gonzalez may be able to exert 200% of his strength." Coach Joyce said.
At this moment, Zhang Guan's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Oh, its Zhuge Wenbo. They are at a hotel. They seem to have called to tell me something, and it's not far to come." Zhang Guan answered the phone.
"Zhang Guan, are you with Coach Joyce now? Then find a suitable place first, and then I will tell you." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"What a mysterious thing! Just say it directly. Coach Joyce can't understand Chinese anyway." Zhang Guan answered.
"Yes, how did I forget this? He is a foreigner who can't understand Chinese. I knew I told you in the past and wasted my phone bill." Zhuge Wenbo smiled and then said, "Tell you some good news for you, but also your opinion. The tennis center has helped you find a tennis coach."
"Domestic tennis coaches? I'm afraid he will not very reliable! And one more coach, it's a hassle to return the advertising costs, sponsorship fees and match bonuses," Zhang Guan said.
"Although the coach was found by the tennis center, he is not a domestic coach, the tennis center invited him from abroad." Zhuge Wenbo said.
"Foreigners!" Zhang Guan was surprised. He didn't expect the tennis center to find a foreign coach for himself.
"Americans, to be precise, Chinese Americans!" Zhuge Wenbo continued, "The vocational teaching method is the same as that of foreign coaches. We spend money to hire people to teach you. As for advertising endorsements and bonuses, we didn't divide that up. But the annual salary of others is not low, it is 400,000 US dollars a year."
"This price is not low." Zhang Guan said.
Tennis coaches usually play with players everywhere on weekdays. It can be said that throughout the season, the coach does not have to spend money on clothes, food, housing, transportation, etc. $400,000 a year is equal to pure earnings. The annual income of the middle class in the United States is 400,000 US dollars, even if the tax is withheld, it can be regarded as a senior middle class.
He listened to Zhuge Wenbo and then said, "But I think people are worth the money. And now, the Australian Open has started, and the big-name tennis coaches have been hired out. It's quite hard to find such a person. Easy, that is, the tennis center can find the right person so quickly. If you think it is possible, let him take a plane to Australia tomorrow!"
"Oh? You say that, I'm really curious, who is he?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The world's youngest men's singles grand slam champion winner!" Zhuge Wenbo paused and said a name, "Zhang Depei!"
