In the fourth round of the Wimbledon women's singles, Sharapova lost to Serena Williams and was eliminated, but this year's Sharapova has been plagued by injuries, which has affected the state of the game, and this result is also acceptable.

In Men's Singles, in the bottom half of the Wimbledon quarter-finals, 12th seed Richard Gasquet of France defeated his compatriot Tsongja in the fourth round to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, where he will also be Zhang's next opponent.

"Gasquet is French, the same age as you, 1.85 meters tall, and he is also a very potential athlete, and he is now the number one person in the French men's singles." Coach Zhang opened his mouth to introduce.

"I remember, the 'four little kings' of tennis, before the French Open, before I met that black guy Monfils, you once mentioned Gasquet, he and Monfils Djokovic, Murray and became the 'four little kings' of tennis." Zhang Guan said.

"Back then, Gasquet was known as the most potential of the Four Little Kings, and Gasquet also had a nickname, called 'Little Federer'." Coach Zhang then explained.

"Why? His technical characteristics are similar to Federer's? Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, a lot of Gasquet's style of play is an imitation of Federer. Gasquet is a right-handed, one-handed backhand, and his backhand chipping is very strong, really like Federer's backhand. At Wimbledon, in addition to volleying in front of the net, backhand cutting is also a big weapon, so Wimbledon also has an advantage for Gasquet. Coach Zhang thought for a moment and then said: "But don't worry, Gasquet doesn't have a strong forehand like Federer, and his forehand can be said to be a little weak compared to his backhand, which is a big reason why he can't go further." So when it comes to the game. You can try to attack Gasquet's forehand more. ”
