Chapter 15 Misleading

On the second day of the Australian Open, there were no upsets, with the top-seeded players beating their opponents, just as everyone had expected before the tournament.

And the only thing that everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Guan actually won!

Zhang Guan defeated Roches 3-0 on aggregate, and the scores of the three games were 6-0, 6-3 and 6-0, a completely crushing victory.

If Zhang Guan's victory over Rochester is barely acceptable, then this result makes people feel unimaginable, although Rochester is not a seeded player, but he will not let others abuse vegetables so much, especially the opponent is Zhang Guan, who is playing with a sponsor's wild card, this "back door" player in everyone's opinion.

It's incredible that an amateur who competed "through the back door", a player who was considered the weakest player in the first round, and a track and field athlete, could defeat his opponent in a Grand Slam and make it to the second round.

However, someone immediately expressed doubt, and that is Chris Goochioni! He was interviewed again.

"What is Rochester up to? Can't he even win as a track and field athlete? I really don't know how he won the Wimbledon doubles championship back then! 3-0 scoreline, double-bagel! I've heard that in Zhang's first service game, Roches didn't even touch the ball, which is incredible! Goucioni looked surprised.

The reporter on the other side asked very provocatively: "Mr. Gucioni, Roches's singles world ranking is obviously above you, but his loss to Zhang Guan means that Zhang Guan's strength is stronger, and he is more suitable to get this wild card place than you?" ”

"Zhang Guan's victory over Roches means that he is stronger, so he is more worthy of this place than me? No, no, no, I don't think so at all, a track and field athlete. How could he beat Rochester, under normal circumstances, Rochester would definitely be able to win against Zhang Guan, I think the problem must be Roches! If it were me, I would have blown up Zhang Guan a long time ago! Goucioni spoke immediately.

The reporter seemed to catch some clues, and he said: "Do you mean that Rochester deliberately released water and lost the game?" ”

"Huh." Goucioni smiled weirdly: "I don't know, I've never said that, you should ask Roches about this!" ”

This interview with Goucioni. It quickly evolved into a conspiracy theory.

"We all know that Zhang Guan can only participate in this Australian Open with a sponsor's wild card, and for a track and field athlete to participate in a tennis Grand Slam competition, Zhang Guan's sponsor must have spent a lot of money, so of course the sponsor does not want Zhang Guan to be out of the first round."

At the same time, many people questioned whether Zhang Guan was eligible to get this wild card before the game, and the wild card was issued to Zhang Guan, which also made the Australian Open organizing committee questioned, if Zhang Guan can successfully enter the second round, it can prove that Zhang Guan's strength can reach the level of a professional tennis player. This is a maintenance of the credibility of the Australian Open organizing committee. ”

"Based on these two bold guesses, it makes sense for Rochesters to lose the game."

Although this point of view does not explicitly say that the match between Zhang Guan and Rochesters was a fake match, the implicit meaning is already very obvious. And this kind of conspiracy theory can easily attract the attention or approval of ordinary people. Even Roches, who lost, was in trouble.

……

"Of course I didn't have a match-fixing! I'm a professional tennis player, I have my work ethic, how could I fake a match! Rochester yelled at his agent, Tom. Even his own agent didn't trust him, which made Rochester unusually angry.

"Then how do you explain that you lost to Zhang Guan?" The agent apparently didn't believe Roches's claims.

"How to explain it? God knows how I lost! Roches remembered yesterday's fiasco, and his mood suddenly turned bad. He continued: "With such a fast serve, and so fast moving speed, he begged me to catch it, and he could catch it with my serve, and then I lost!" It's as simple as that. ”

"Okay, okay, don't get so excited, there's no point in discussing how you lost now, and now there are a lot of media asking how you lost, and they are all questioning you for deliberately letting go of water in the game!" The broker spoke.

"Deliberately releasing water? What good can I do! Before these people accuse me, can you use your brain! Roches spoke.

"But we need an explanation, an explanation for the public." Said the broker.

Rocheston fell silent, did he have to admit to the public that his level and experience were not as good as Zhang Guan, so he was completely blown up by Zhang Guan in the game? While that was true, Roches felt it would be a humiliating thing. A former Wimbledon doubles champion can't beat a rookie who is competing for the first time, which would make him a laughing stock in the tennis world.

"No, I can't openly admit that my strength is not as good as Zhang Guan! I'll have to find another excuse! Roches thought about it carefully and said, "Let's just say that I suddenly felt unwell during the match, so I didn't have time to react to many of Zhang Guan's serves. By the way, help me make an appointment with a doctor and do a physical examination, so that everyone will believe that I lost to Zhang Guan because of my own health. ”

Sebastien Grosjean is the No. 28 seed at this year's Australian Open.

In some tournaments, seeded players are set in order to prevent the stronger players from meeting each other early. There are 32 seeded players in a tennis Grand Slam, and the seeded players are ranked according to the world ranking at the time. When the competition is grouped, the seeded players will be deliberately separated, and the seeded players will not be able to meet until at least the third round, the top 16 seeds will meet in the fourth round, the top 8 seeds will not meet until the quarterfinals, and so on. It is also in this format that the finals of tennis matches often feature a duel between the first and second ranked players in the world.

Grosjean, the No.28 seed in the tournament, ended his first round on the first day of the tournament and was in good fortune as his opponent withdrew midway through to injury, and he played just over a set to advance to the second round. In the second round, he will face the winner between Zhang Guan and Roches.

Grosjean always thought that his opponent in the second round would be Roches, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guan would be the final advance, and he won by a crushing score. This caught Grosjean off guard, and he had a feeling of being raided.

"It's terrible, I should have watched that game yesterday! The previous pre-game preparations were all aimed at Rochester, but he didn't expect Rochester to be eliminated by Zhang Guan! In other words, Zhang Guan, a wild card player, how did he eliminate Rochester! Grosjean sat in front of his computer in a frustrated state, reading the latest news about the Australian Open.

"Rochester lost to Zhang Guan only because he was unwell"

This title immediately attracted Grosjean, and Grosjean clicked in, which basically said that Rochester felt unwell during the game, but he insisted on finishing the game, so he lost to Zhang Guan by a large score.

"That's what it looks like! I said that Zhang Guan couldn't win against Rochester, it turned out that it was because of Rochester's own health, so I was relieved. This Zhang Guan's luck is really good, he easily picked up the first victory of his career, or the first victory of a Grand Slam. However, I was also very lucky, my opponent retired injured in the middle of the first game, and I met Zhang Guan, an amateur, in the second game. Having said that, I still don't know the slightest bit about Zhang Guan, although he may be a good food, but I still have to do some pre-match preparations! Let's fast-forward and take a look at the footage of yesterday's game between Zhang Guan and Roches! ”

……

Director Qu is undoubtedly one of the people who cares about Zhang Guan the most, and the news that Zhang Guan successfully entered the second round of the Australian Open was also known to Director Qu for the first time.

"Zhang Guan was able to make it through the first round, it's really shit luck! When is the second round? Director Qu searched for a moment on a sports portal, and in the detailed schedule of key games, he did not find Zhang Guan's game preview.

"Why not? By the way, how did I forget, Zhang Guan has been blocked by me, and his information will definitely not appear on it! Director Qu was in a much better mood at this time: "Even if you pass the first round, what if you are blocked now, who in China will know that you won the Australian Open?" (To be continued.) )
