Chapter 309 - Counterattack

The TV broadcast was aimed at Sharapova in the stands. At this time, Sharapova appeared very excited, with a smile on his entire face, because Zhang Guan had already led Federer 2-0, he just had to win again. In one game, he can get the final victory.

However, not far away, Federer's girlfriend Mirka, she looked at Federer with a worried face. She can see that Federer's condition is very good today, but in this good state, he has lost two consecutive sets, which will influence Federer's psychology.

Federer sat in his chair and summed up the game just now.

"The last ball in the tie-break requires a very strong ball-controlling ability. If Zhang Guan has such an excellent ball-handling ability, he would have used it in the first two sets. There is no need to wait until now. This shows that this ball was a coincidence. Is even the goddess of luck on the side of Zhang Guan today? This kind of ball has been overshadowed by him!" Federer shook his head in dissatisfaction, losing to luck was enough to make Federer depressed for a long time.

"Unconsciously, I fell behind 0-2, how long have I not been behind 0-2? I have forgotten this feeling myself. Let me think about it, the last time the situation was 0-2, the reversal was when?" Federer fell into his memory. The past scenes appeared in his mind like a movie. He recalled every time he made a big come back, his eyes were full of war.

"It's just 0-2 behind, the game is not over yet!"

On the other side, Zhang Guan's expression is much easier. He leads 2-0 and only needs to win the next set to get the final victory. More importantly, Zhang Guan is now equipped with rackets and shoes, so he is extremely confident in himself.

"Federer may still think that the ball just now was a coincidence! But now I am stronger than when I started! I am the winner of the Australian Open!"

...

In addition to Federer's dissatisfaction with the score of 0-2, the Australian advertising sponsors are also very dissatisfied with this. Sponsors don't want the game to end sooner. They can't wait for them to play five games, and then there will be another out-of-the-point score in the final long game to extend the game time, and then more ads can be inserted.

In the current situation, Federer is likely to be swept 0-3, which means that the next set of games may become the last set of the Australian Open, so the advertising time has been extended by a full double.

After a long wait for the audience, the third set of games finally began, Federer took the lead in serving.

"The third game of the Australian Open men's singles final is about to start. The current score is Zhang Guan leading Federer 2-0. I think this score is not what everyone expected. Federer will face Zhang Guan unexpected being behind which is incredible. Zhang Guan played very well today, he only needs to win the next set of games to win the Australian Open championship, and he will also create multiple firsts. For example, the first player to win the Grand Slam title for the first time in the professional league, the first player to win the Australian Open as a foreign card, and the first Asian and Chinese player to win the Grand Slam championship. Wait..."

The narrator's voice changed and then said, "But the game is not over yet, and Federer is not done without reversal. In Federer's career, there have been many times he has caught up, the last time when he was 0- 2, he ompleted a big reversal to win the championship in the 2005 Miami Masters, when Federer fell behind Nadal 0-2, then he rose and won three consecutive sets, and finally won the trophy. Perhaps today, Federer will replicate the miracle in Miami two years ago!"

"Okay, the game has started! First of all it is Federer's serving game, let's take a look at how Federer counterattacks!"

Federer was holding his breath at this time. He felt that the last game was lost because of luck, so he was impatient to get back a game. And being 2-0 behind by Zhang Guan is also excitement for the tennis king.

"I have to win! How could I lose to a player who took part in a professional match for the first time!" Federer thought secretly.

Federer had this idea because he felt for the first time that he might lose to Zhang Guan. In this final, Federer also made careful preparations before the game, but he always believed that he would not lose to Zhang Guan. It wasn't until this 0-2 backward situation that Federer had the idea of losing.

Federer started his first serve. This time he used a flat serve, and the landing point was very tricky.

Zhang Guan started to run, but only halfway through, the ball was already on the ground. Zhang Guan knew that he certainly could not catch the ball.

"ACE!" The referee's voice sounded, and the ball speed display also showed the number "218".

"An ACE ball with a speed of 218 kilometers per hour, and the landing point is very good, it is natural that Zhang Guan did not receive the ball. Federer entered the state as soon as he started."

The second ball, Federer's feel is still hot, issued an ACE ball at a speed of 215 kilometers per hour.

"30-0. Federer counts two consecutive ACE balls! It seems that the 0-2 backward situation has stimulated Federer's fighting spirit. These two services are very good. This speed plus this angle, I believe in this world, no one can get to it!"

At this time, Federer began to serve the third ball, the ball speed was still very fast, but he had bad luck, the tennis ball hit the net, and Federer made a mistake.

"Federer's second serve should use a topspin serve. According to his habit, he will use a tricky landing point to attack my backhand." Zhang Guan is ready to move towards the backhand.

But Federer did not choose a more conservative top spin as usual but continued to use a fast flat serve.

"Still serve the ball? This angle is too forward. The speed of the ball must be more than 200 kilometers. For his second serve, he did not seek stability, and he played hard!" Zhang Guan sighed.

"ACE ball! Three consecutive ACE balls!" The commentator shouted, "It is Federer, who can issue this high-quality ACE ball three times in a row! It looks like our tennis king is going to have completely erupted in this game."

The score came to 40-0, Federer easily got the game with three consecutive ACE balls.

Zhang Guan did notice that Federer's momentum was very good, and he had a hunch that Federer would also use this quick draw to serve.

"Federer wants to win this round with one go. He now holds three rounds, and he will fight for the ACE ball. But for three consecutive balls, Federer's ball speed is decreasing, which means that his muscles can't hold on. With this continuous burst, the speed of the next ball will be slower. And for me, it is an opportunity."

Zhang Guan lowered his waist and leaned forward, ready to step forward to catch the ball.

He saw a cold flash in the eyes of Federer while swinging and slamming, it was indeed a flat serve.

"The speed of the ball is really slow, barely 200 kilometers! At this angle, I should be able to catch the ball!" Zhang Guan strode up and took the ball back over the net.

...

After Federer's serve, only to see the opposite figure flash, Zhang Guan has made a move to serve. At this moment, Federer suddenly thought of the last ball in the tie-break of the last game, Zhang Guan should have used the backhand to catch the ball, but resolutely relied on speed to become a forehand catch.

"Zhang Guan's speed has become faster. This is the same speed as the one he had in the last tie-break game. Is this his real speed?"
