"Cow Killer" Battle, Zhang Guan advances to Men's Singles Final Four"
On the evening of June 5, Paris time, the tenth day of the 2007 French Open, the games will continue. In the quarter-finals of the men's singles, the 15th seed of the contest and the champion of the New Zealand Australian Open Zhang Guan went straight in three sets, defeating the 19th seed of the contest and Argentine star Canas 6-3, 6-3 and 6-4 to advance to the men's singles semifinals. Zhang Guan's opponent in the semi-finals will be the top seed of the competition, the Swiss king Federer.
This media is mainly concerned about the news that Zhang Guan is advancing into the top four of the French Open. However, the focus of most other media is that Federer once again met Zhang Guan.
"In the final of the Australian Open in January, Zhang Guan and Federer brought us an exciting match. In that final, Zhang Guan defeated Federer 3-0. In the semi-final of the French Open, these two will meet in advance, I don't know if Zhang Guan will continue the road of being a cow killer, or will Federer complete his revenge!"
Federer is the No. 1 seed, and Zhang Guan is the No. 15 seed. From this number, the gap between the two sides is somewhat larger, but considering that Zhang Guan defeated Federer in the Australian Open final, the game between Zhang Guan and Federer is still very big and will attract the attention of the audience.
In the tennis court, Federer has been invincible for too long, so as long as any player can beat Federer, it will inevitably attract wide attention. However, if he defeats Federer in the Grand Slam final, the attention will be higher, not to mention Zhang Guan has Fame.
There are also many people waiting to see Zhang Guan make a fool out of himself. Since Zhang Guan won the championship in the Australian Open, it is equivalent to being more confident in the title of Zhang Guan being a talented athlete. This reputation will naturally be more black, and there will be many jealous people, so many people are also looking forward to Zhang Guan losing.
It was on this day that the other two matches of the French Open quarter-finals ended. Djokovic easily defeated Andreev 3-0, and defending champion Nadal also defeated Moya 3-0. Both of them easily win. The other game in the semi-finals is between the two generals Nadal and Djokovic.
Djokovic has made rapid progress this year. He has already won three ATP championships this year, second only to Federer and Nadal. However, in the clay court, Djokovic has never beaten Nadal. The most recent clay match between the two was in the semi-finals of the French Open last year. Djokovic retired early due to injury. In the final of the Indian Wells station after the Australian Open, Nadal also won the championship against Lectra Djokovic.
Today Djokovic is still immature, and Nadal is known as the "King of Clay", so whether it is tennis professionals or ordinary fans, they are almost all are optimistic about Nadal's victory.

At the same time, in the General Administration of Sports, Director Liu has been received by a deputy director.
"Secretary, you see, this is the calendar for the next three months. The blue is the schedule of track and field competitions, the green is the schedule of tennis competitions. The days when the track and field competitions and tennis competitions are going on at the same time, I mark them in red. You see, they have overlapped for several days." Director Liu introduced.
The deputy director nodded and said nothing. Director Liu continued to say after watching his words, "If it is a normal game, it doesn't matter if our tennis center sacrifices it. After all, athletes will go abroad to win glory for the country. There is no distinction between track and field and others, but for the tennis grand slam match, its the world's top tournament, it is a pity to not let Zhang Guan participate."
Director Liu glanced at his notebook, and then said, "You see June 25 to July 8, it is the time of the Wimbledon Tennis Open, this is the most important Grand Slam in the world, and during this period, there are exactly three competitions of the IAAF Grand Prix Czech Republic, the IAAF Grand Prix Croatia, and the IAAF Golden League Paris. If you add the preparation time before and after, the IAAF Grand Prix Czech Republic and the IAAF The Lausanne Grand Prix cannot be participated in."
The deputy director nodded silently, and Director Liu then introduced, "You will watch the US Open again from August 27 to September 9. During this period, there will be the World Athletics Championships, the Golden League Zurich Station, and the IAAF. The Grand Prix Italy race conflicted again at this time."
"The World Championships in Athletics are also considered to be an important event!" the deputy director said.
"You are right." Director Liu nodded, and then continued, "But no players in our country have participated in the men's singles matches of Wimbledon and the US Open. As long as Zhang Guan can appear on the arena of Wimbledon and the US Open, it is equivalent to filling a gap for our tennis!"
The deputy director narrowed his eyes slightly, and the words "fill in a gap" where an appetite for him.
These four words are indeed powerful for those who are most pursuing political achievements, but Director Liu feels that this is not enough, so he decided to add another fire, and saw Director Liu then said, "Zhang Guan at the beginning of the year won an Australian Open Championship; now the French Open has entered the semi-finals, with great hopes of winning the championship; if Zhang Guan can next win the championship at Wimbledon and the US Open, he will go fully through in the grand slam!"
"Slam?" The deputy director's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew the meaning behind the tennis slam, so he then asked, "Is the slam hope great?"
Director Liu nodded immediately, "Hope is great. If Zhang Guan can put more effort into the Olympics next year, that Olympic champion will be a grand slam champion."
The deputy director was somewhat impressed, but he was not fooled by Director Liu, but said, "You just said that Zhang Guan has entered the semi-finals of the French Open. Who is his opponent in the next game? The assurance of winning the French Open championship is big?"
"Zhang Guan's next opponent is Federer." Director Liu said while secretly looking at the deputy director, but at this time the deputy director's expression was somewhat solidified. He was worried about whether Zhang Guan could defeat Federer. After all, Federer's reputation is too big.
Director Liu immediately said, "At the beginning of the Australian Open final, Zhang Guan defeated Federer's championship and still defeated Federer 3-0!"
The deputy director's expression suddenly stretched a little, he thought for a few seconds, and said, "These documents will be placed here with me! When the meeting is discussed on Monday, the General Administration will discuss it first and then notify you!"
