"Zhang Guan won! The score of this set is 6-2. We congratulate Zhang Guan on sweeping Federer with a total score of 3-0 and successfully advancing to the finals of the French Open. We congratulate Zhang Guan on creating history again and becoming the first Chinese player to advance to the French Open men's singles final! This is also the second time after the Australian Open, Zhang Guan entered the Grand Slam final. Zhang Guan's opponent in the final will be the winner of the next game between Nadal and Djokovic!"
At this time, at Philip Stadium, Federer raised his head, his face filled with regret, then he adjusted his emotions, went to the net, shook hands with Zhang Guan, and also congratulated him.
"Congratulations!" Federer said.
"Thank you, Roger, you are great, you are the best tennis player I have ever seen!" Zhang Guan said.
"But I'm not as good as you! For me, you are the best tennis player in the world." Federer smiled, then said, "I look forward to our next fight."
"It must be." Zhang Guan thought for a second and then said, "The next Wimbledon and the US Open in September, we will have a chance to meet again, maybe it will be the finals of the Wimbledon or the US Open!"
"Are there only Wimbledon and the US Open? Don't forget that there is a series of Masters before Wimbledon and the US Open! Are you not ready to participate in it?" Federer asked.
Zhang Guan shook his head slightly, "I don't want to go. I'm going to win four Grand Slams. Maybe I will win another Olympic champion next year. For me, a Glam Slam is enough. And next year there will be an Olympics. Part of the energy will still be put on track and field events!"
"It's a pity that you are missing on the field." Federer's voice continued and said, "I wish you the championship in advance, and I believe you can beat Nadal!"
"Thank you, I will try my best to win the championship." Zhang Guan said.
"No, no, you must win the championship!" Federer smiled, "When you get the French Open championship, I will say that I lost to the champion, it doesn't sound so shameful. Haha..."
...
Next came another semi-final of the men's singles, Nadal against Djokovic.
Nadal has won 19 consecutive victories at the French Open and is still the defending champion of the French Open. Of course, Nadal, who has won the competition, is eager to dominate the French Open for three consecutive years. And Djokovic participated as the No. 6 seed and was in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam for the first time.
There have been four confrontations between Nadal and Djokovic, and Nadal has a certain advantage with 3 wins and 1 loss. The most recent confrontation between the two was at the Roma Masters this year when Nadal scored two straight sets to win the game 6-2 and 6-3.
In the first set, the first four rounds of the two sides defended each other. In the fifth round, Nadal seized the opportunity to successfully break. In the seventh game, Nadal broke again and took the lead with a score of 5-2. However, Nadal got a little lax and was broken by Djokovic in the eighth and tenth games respectively, chasing the score to 5-5. In the 11th game, Nadal broke again, and then in the twelve games, Nadal succeeded, and with a score of 7-5, he won the first set game.
In the first game, there were twelve games, but there were five breaks. This is a breakout battle. When the audience was looking forward to a more exciting game, Djokovic fell off the chain, and he played with more and more impatience after Nadal won the second set with 6-4. In the third set, he lost the game with 6-2. Most of Djokovic's 37 unforced turnovers in the normal game occurred in the last two sets. At this time the young Djokovic also exposed the disadvantage of having poor stability.
Nadal defeated Djokovic and advanced to the final, which means that this year's final will be between Zhang Guan and Nadal, and the final is on the weekend two days later.
...
"Federer lost to Zhang Guan and missed the French Open final",
Although the Swiss king Federer has won countless honors in today's tennis, Roland Garros (French Open) is always his most desirable place, because the French Open is the only Grand Slam event he failed to win. After losing to Zhang Guan in the French Open final, Federer lost to Zhang Guan again in the semifinals today. The French Open final took 2 hours and 48 minutes. Although Federer tried his best, it was still difficult to resist Zhang Guan's powerful offensive and eventually lost by 0-3.
After the match, the Swiss king admitted that the game with Zhang Guan was a physical contest, "I think this is a very physical game. It is very difficult to score from the first ball of the game, and each game takes a long time. I had long expected this to happen, so I was ready to fight hard, and I felt pretty good at the time, which was good for me. But unfortunately, Zhang Guan's mobility is too strong, which is also the reason why in this game, it made me feel difficult after the game started. Zhang Guan performed better today than me, he played very tenaciously."
The Swiss King will make a comeback next year so that he will continue to be full of fantasy and expectation of his career, "I still have a French Open championship left. If I finally win today or have reached the top here last year, then I will lack the many points that are needed to be chased continuously. Just like the French Open championship, it always attracts me. If one day I finally get this honor, that feeling will be even sweeter. I keep giving myself more opportunities, time, and time again for the French Open Champion and work harder. I know what I can do, and I am sure of it. I have completed my excellent French Open tour, and I am okay with the result I have gotten here."
Compared with this year's Australian Open finals, the Swiss King has a lot of feelings, "I don't know how it felt at the Australian Open, but I also think I was disappointed for maybe only 5 minutes. Today I returned to the locker room after I lost and felt disappointed. Of course, the worst thing is that other people keep encouraging me to be proud of myself. Losing is just bad luck."
When asked if he was about to go to Wimbledon to forget the French Open defeat, Federer thought there was no problem, "Once you step on the grass, all the past unhappiness will be left behind. Winning the game naturally makes you happy, but after losing, you better forget it as soon as possible. I am very excited about the upcoming grass game, this is a great opportunity for me to rejuvenate. I hope that I can win the championship for the fifth consecutive time in Wimbledon, it will be incredible if my wish came true. I hope I can create such an opportunity, I am eager to achieve good results in Wimbledon."
Federer is struggling to get out of the shadow of defeat because the next grass game will be Federer's prowess, he will try his best to get out of the shadow of failure and let wish him good luck.
Coach Zhang handed this newspaper to Zhang Guan, and then said, "It looks like Federer knows where his weakness was at."
"To be honest, Federer's condition was really good yesterday. When I hit 7-7 in the first set, I doubted whether I could win." Zhang Guan said.
"Federer's state is indeed very good, I think Federer at that moment, his state should be at his peak! But a tennis match takes as long as two or three hours, an athlete can't maintain the state for such a long time. In the third set, Federer's game state has started to decline." Coach Zhang pointed to the newspaper and then said, "Federer looks like he hopes to use Wimbledon to heal, but I think In Wimbledon, he may lose more cleanly. Wimbledon is grass. The more aggressive the attack, the more you can play at Wimbledon!"
Coach Zhang opened his laptop, and then said, "Don't talk about Federer anymore, the game is over anyway, let's talk about your next opponent, Rafael Nadal."
