Speaking of Nadal, Zhang Guan immediately put on a good look, he knew that Coach Zhang was about to arrange a new tactic.
"How much do you know about Nadal?" Coach Zhang asked first.
Zhang Guan thought for a while and replied, "His forehand is very strong and better than Federer; he has excellent mobility, fast movement, and flexible footsteps; and he has good physical strength."
Coach Zhang nodded, "You don't have a deep understanding of Nadal, then I will give you a detailed explanation of Nadal. Let's start with the serve. The previous Nadal was very slow and used excessive amount of strength. The pursuit of rotation on Nadal's serve has always been criticized, but in the past two years he has improved this shortcoming, so his first serve is as threatening as Federer, but Nadal's second serve is not strong, although it will still have a strong spin, it's not fast, it can't be regarded as a top player. This is one of his weaknesses."
"Nadal's forehand can be regarded as the most perfect forehand in tennis today. Not only is it highly accurate, but it also has a very strong rotation. Once Nadal chooses to attack the backhand, then for the one-handed backhand player, it will be more difficult to catch the ball. In general, Nadal's forehand is not as good as Federer, but his power is not inferior to Federer."
"For the use of backhand, since Nadal is a two-handed backhand, his backhand can be said to be a powerful weapon with a precise landing point, and also has a very high rotation. The only problem is that his backhand is not fast enough so catching the ball shouldn't be too difficult, which may be good news for you."
"In terms of receiving, Nadal is used to standing behind the bottom line, so it will be more difficult to receive some of the services that are at the front point, but his strong mobility can make up for this, and he has often pursued speed very much, especially when his opponents serve second, Nadal often plays winning games."
"Putting his face in front of the net, Nadal is almost inferior to the top players in front of the net. He has a lot of strength, but he has a strong ability to control the ball. His volley in front of the net is rarely out of bounds because he plays too deep. In terms of aspect, Nadal is also perfect. His high-pressure ball is very characteristic, with a precise landing point, fast speed, and rotation. This is the same as his serve, and perhaps the lethality is greater than the serve."
"The last point is about mobility, regardless of the speed of movement, the flexibility of footsteps, the use of pace, Nadal is the best in tennis history, coupled with his abundant physical fitness, I think among the current professional tennis players, only you can compete with Nadal in this respect."
Coach Zhang stopped after talking, waiting for Zhang Guan to consume the content just now.
Zhang Guan felt that Coach Zhang was missing something, so he asked, "What about cutting balls and high-pressure balls?"
"Tennis players do not need to chop and hang the ball." Coach Zhang said, "The next thing I want to remind you is that there are two points. First, Nadal is a two-handed backhand; second, Nadal has a left-hand shot."
"A player with a two-handed backhand, you've also met before, such as Nalbandian. Nadal's backhand is not weaker than Nalbandian, but as I said earlier, his backhand is not fast, this is not threatening for you. But Nadal's forehand might be a bit of a problem for you since you are hitting with your right hand, so your backhand is facing his forehand. He can use the forehand to attack more easily towards your backhand, that is to say, your backhand may be attacked by Nadal's high spin ball." Coach Zhang said while gesturing with his hand.
"I can also attack his backhand with my forehand!" Zhang Guan said.
"That is of course, but don't forget that Nadal backhanded hit is with two hands. With his backhand, he can catch the ball much easier, and Nadal's backhand still has a high spin, and your forehand backhand technique is a one-handed catch. It's much harder than catching the ball with both hands." Coach Zhang then explained, "Nadal is not left-handed, but he has been using his left-hand since learning tennis, so his backhand will have a very strong rotation."
...
Sharapova handed the latest newspaper to Zhang Guan, and then said, "Before the Australian Open, everyone didn't like you. The latest survey shows that 93% of the audience is optimistic about Nadal winning the French Open's three consecutive championships."
Zhang Guan looked carefully, in addition to the public survey, there are some expert comments.
Gottfried: "No one can beat Nadal in my opinion. His strong return made it difficult for opponents to control the game. Only full-field runs can turn Nadal back over the net, and this undoubtedly takes a lot of physical energy and energy. Zhang Guan's gun is only a matter of time. Facing Nadal, even Federer should not be allowed to relax, because Nadal has exerted pressure on the opponent from the first point of the game, and this pressure will go on until the end of the game."
Fabio: "This will be a holiday in the tennis world. The championship maybe just a wish. Zhang Guan's semi-final with Federer almost exhausted all his tricks. I'm pretty sure that if he still uses the tricks in the finals, it will be a difficult torment for him. Zhang Guan must strengthen the rotation, choose the return route, and take risks! These will not be too easy. Nadal has never been too easy. He will not easily give points to opponents, and Nadal can control the rhythm at a critical moment. The only weakness of Nadal is that his return is not deep enough, and the opponent can effectively use his strong topspin. In the game, Nadal is often the strongest one."
Balemi: "I hope Nadal can win. He is fully capable of winning this game. This is the second time I have said so. This year he is stronger than last year. Nadal is the best player in the world. Many people are talking about Nadal's upcoming three consecutive French Open titles, and in my opinion, Nadal is likely to have four consecutive or five consecutive butterfly titles!"
These are all famous European tennis commentators. Most of them are optimistic about Nadal. Except for a few one or two neutral attitude accidents, they have not looked forward towards Zhang Guan winning the championship.
Zhang Guan said, "I was a new tennis player last time at the Australian Open, but now I am also an Australian Open champion, and I have beaten Federer twice. Why do I not be optimistic about myself! Is it because of discrimination?"
"It shouldn't have much to do with discrimination." Sharapova shook her head and said, "I think this is because everyone doesn't like a disruptor."
"Disruptor? Are you referring to me?" Zhang Guan asked, pointing to himself.
Sharapova showed a "you are what you said", and then said, "Nadal has won the French Open championship for two consecutive times. Do you know the whole world, how many people expect him to win three consecutive championships? Federer is only one French Open away from winning a Grand Slam. Do you know how many people in the world expect him to get a Grand Slam?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhang Guan asked dully.
"People think that this final should be a match between Federer and Nadal. Either Federer will win a full slam, or Nadal will win the French Open three consecutive championships. Whether it is a full slam or the French Open's three consecutive championships, they all have a special meaning. But because of your appearance, you defeated Federer in the semi-finals. This is the match that everyone is looking forward to! So now Federer fans must hate you to the bones, and Nadal fans can't give you a good look." Sharapova said.
"It sounds like I am a disruptor!" Zhang Guan laughed, then said, "If you want to be a disruptor, then you must be the best disruptor! Maybe I will be one step ahead of Federer to get a Grand Slam!"
