"Serving and then scoring, this ball reached 222 kilometers per hour! At this critical moment, Zhang Guan successfully scored from service, and the score is now 6-6. If any party wants to win this game, and take the first place, then 7 points are not enough, you must win two points to win!" CCTV's commentator said excitedly.
Coach Sun next to him, he was worried. "At this score, Zhang Guan's style of play is still the same. This time, if his luck is slightly worse, it will be out of bounds. Now it at 6-6, as long as there are two-point difference points, you can still hope to win. From now on, you can't tolerate any mistakes. If you don't cling to stability, I'm afraid the game will be very fierce."
Zhang Guan's serve was very beautiful this time, and also welcomed by the audience's applause, but in the eyes of professional tennis players, Zhang Guan's current style of play is very unreasonable.
"If Zhang Guan continues to play like this, mistakes are only a matter of time. The score is now 6-6, so only one mistake is needed, and the whole game will be lost!" Nadal in front of the TV was shaking his head in disappointment. In his view, this good situation is about to be wasted by Zhang Guan.
The two sides played another six balls, so they exchanged the venue again, and then Zhang Guan continued to serve.
"Just a moment ago, Zhang Guan's serve speed reached 222 kilometers per hour. It seems that his service is very good. This time, Zhang Guan may continue to send out a high-speed ball." Federer has already done a good job to pick up a high-speed ball ready.
While Zhang Guan swung, the racket brought a burst of wind, Federer has already judged by Zhang Guan's movement, this is another high-speed serve.
"Come!" Federer moved in advance, but then saw the tennis ball directly hit the sideline. Federer could even see that most of the tennis ball was already out of bounds.
This is another extreme limit.
Federer received the ball very reluctantly, the ball was returned a bit higher, and also gave Zhang Guan the chance of a high-pressure ball. Zhang Guan stepped forward and directly hit a high-volley towards Federer's frontcourt. The ball flew more than five meters high.
Federer looked up at the ball in the air. He knew that it was impossible to catch the ball.
With a score of 6-7, Zhang Guan leads. At this time, Federer needs to keep his serve. If the next point is broken by Zhang Guan, Federer will lose the entire game.
"Zhang Guan's serve is more limited than before. The last service was just close to the sideline. This time, half of the ball is already out of bounds." Federer looked at the ball's falling point with a lingering fear.
"Luck is really good. The ball is almost out of bounds. If Zhang Guan's luck has always been so good, then I can't do anything about it!" Federer concentrated his attention and started to serve.
This time, Federer prepared to attack Zhang Guan's backhand.
"Go on!" Federer shouted. The tennis ball crossed an arc in the air and landed on the ground of Zhang Guan's half. Then the tennis ball bounced quickly and flew in a very flat arc.
A perfect serve, with speed, landing point, and rotation, even Federer is very satisfied with his serve this time.
He saw Zhang Guan fully accelerating, a backhand lash, hit the tennis ball with strong side spin while vacating, it also flew out of an arc longitudinally.
"Strongside spin! I will give you a perfect score this time!" Federer judged the ball with a strong side spin by the tennis flight path. He walked a few steps tightly, swiped his forehand, and continued to press Zhang Guan's backhand.
Pressing the opponent's backhand with the forehand has always been Federer's signature tactic. Federer's forehand placement is extremely accurate, so when Federer decides to force the opponent's backhand, he usually chooses a more marginal drop and a trajectory with a large slope. Coupled with good ball speed, the opponent is forced to use a backhand to catch the ball.
This time, Federer seemed to have miscalculated. Zhang Guan did not use a backhand to catch the ball, he used a forehand because he had run to the position where he could catch the ball with his forehand.
"Quick footsteps! Zhang Guan's speed suddenly became faster. Maybe he could catch up with the ball from my forehand! Impossible, how could it be possible for him to use his forehand! A forehand to catch the ball!" At this moment, Federer was surprised. His eyes widened.
Zhang Guan's speed is too fast, originally the ball can only be caught with the backhand but because Zhang Guan quickly moved to the position where he can recieve it with his forehand, it became a forehand catch.
However, Zhang Guan's forehand catch was only the beginning. Next, he began to counter Federer's backhand.
In a flash, some of the disadvantages of both sides came to change.
"Oh, no!" Federer's heart tightened, but he didn't panic. Countless experience of the competition told Federer that in the tie-break, the more he reached the disadvantage, the calmer he should be.
"That time when receiving the ball, Zhang Guan's speed is faster than before. Although it is only a little faster, it is enough. This step of running more, allows him to change a backhand catch to a forehand catch." Federer didn't know why Zhang Guan's speed suddenly became faster. He didn't have time to think about this issue. His priority is to keep his ball.
"Although there are some disadvantages, we still can't talk about the defeat, hold on, play steadily, and slowly look for opportunities!" Federer made a very steady return, the ball speed was not fast, but the rotation was sufficient so that Zhang Guan could not directly score.
Faced with this ball, Zhang Guan chose to attack the other side of the court to mobilize Federer to run back.
For Federer, although this situation is somewhat passive, it is barely acceptable. He began to wait for the opportunity, waiting for Zhang Guan to make mistakes.
...
"This ball is beautiful, Zhang Guan has the advantage now, he suppressed Federer. Hold on, hold on! Hold steady, you can win this point!" Coach Sun has already shouted. You have to know that the commentary of the tennis game is usually quieter, usually speaking a few words at the end of a ball, but at the moment Coach Sun was too excited, he can not suppress his emotions, because Zhang Guan currently occupied the initiative on the court, as long as this point is won, Zhang Guan will win the second set.
"Stabilize..." In the voice-directed by Coach Sun, Zhang Guan chose to go to the net.
"This...why did he go to the net!" Coach Sun smashed the table angrily. In his view, Zhang Guan made an impulsive choice, which was equivalent to giving Federer a chance to reverse the game.
...
"Zhang Guan is at the net!" Federer's eyes lit up, "He still has no experience, I have a chance! I don't have to wait, he chose to force the net, my chance is here!"
At the next moment, Zhang Guan swung in front of the net and hits the tennis ball. At the same time, Zhang Guan swings his arm, and a ball-pulling action brings the tennis a strong side spin.
Subsequently, the ball flew over the net and then flew towards the sideline at a small angle.
"Not fast pressure, his point is the frontline? This is to prepare for a point to win, Zhang Guan dare to play like this? This ball must be out of bounds!"
