Fast forward to 8am, the start of the first match of the day, and at Vodafone Stadium, the final match of the third round of the men's singles is underway, with 12th seed Tommy Haas of Germany taking on his compatriot Mayer.

Zhang Guan also sat in front of the TV and watched this game, because the winner of this game will be Zhang Guan's opponent in the next game.

"Haas is the No. 12 seed, Mayer is unseeded, and both of them are Germans, so they know each other well, and it's not easy for Mayer to win by surprise, and I think the winner of this match will be Haas." Coach Joyce continued: "That means you're going to have a tough opponent in your next game.

"A tough opponent? Is it Tommy Haas? Zhang Guan asked.

Coach Joyce nodded, and continued: "Among the players at the top of the ATP rankings, Haas should be the most difficult opponent, his skills are good, and his willpower is very strong, even if there is no hope of winning, he will not give up the game, he will fight until the last minute, so many players do not want to meet Haas, because playing with him is too tiring." ”

"Although I've heard Haas's name and know that he is very strong, I don't know much about his details, can you tell me about it?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Haas is a German with a career high ranking of No. 2 in the world, and he is arguably the most talented tennis player in Germany and is known as the golden boy of German tennis. There is a professional basketball player in Germany named Nowitzki, who now plays in the NBA, you should know, Nowitzki practiced tennis when he was a child, and he also won the German junior championship, but then Nowitzki met Haas, who was the same age as him. As a result, Nowitzki was beaten by Haas, and since then he has said goodbye to tennis and switched to basketball. Coach Joyce said.

"Hah! I can't imagine that Nowitzki will have such twists and turns in basketball, but then again, Enovitzki's height is indeed not suitable for tennis. Zhang Guan thought to himself.

Coach Joyce went on to explain: "Haas is also a young man who became famous. At the age of 19, he entered the third round of the US Open for the first time, reached the semifinals of the Australian Open at the age of 20, and ranked second in the world at the age of 23. At the end of 2002, he inexplicably injured his wrist with a torn wrist rotator muscle, which is only encountered by baseball players, and tennis players basically do not suffer this kind of injury. The injury was complicated to treat, and Haas underwent two surgeries and was not on the field for sixteen months. ”

Zhang Guan nodded, although he didn't know how Haas's injury was at that time, but considering the medical level in Germany, he still had to undergo two surgeries and could recover after sixteen months, so it was conceivable that it would be very troublesome to treat this injury.

"But it's not over yet." Coach Joyce thought for a moment and continued: "After Haas returns from injury. During a practice match, I once tried to stop a rolling tennis ball with my feet. Then he accidentally slipped and sprained his right ankle, saying goodbye to the competition of that year. ”

"Slipping and hurting when you stop the ball!" Zhang Guan couldn't help laughing, because of this ridiculous reason, Haas was really unlucky.

Joyce's expression was solemn, and he said, "Haas is not yet thirty years old. But he's been through a lot of setbacks over the years, and each time he's been able to bounce back, and he's brought that form to the tournament with a lot of perseverance, so he's also one of the most determined players in the ATP. ”

"Hearing is like an unbeatable little strong!" Zhang Guan sighed lightly. Then he asked, "So what method should I use against Haas?" ”

Coach Joyce shook his head: "There is no way. Haas's technique is very comprehensive, serve, serve, baseline, front of the net, volley, put the ball, very proficient, he is a right-handed racket, the same one-handed backhand, it can be said that Haas is a weakened version of Federer. If you want to defeat Haas, you can only do it through hard power. ”

As the two spoke, the match on TV had ended the first set, in which Haas and Mayer held each other's serves, and the game also reached a tie-break, and Haas finally won the first set with an excellent play in the tie-break.

The set looked like it was evenly matched, but Haas played with ease, more like a warm-up, and then in the second set, Haas suddenly came out of the blue, winning 6-3, and then in the third set, Haas maintained his original level and won 6-3 again. Haas also won the game with an aggregate score of 3-0, and he also became Zhang's opponent for the next game.

Seeing this expected result, Zhang Guan turned the TV on silent, and throughout the game, in addition to observing Haas, Zhang Guan has also been thinking about what method would be more advantageous to deal with Haas.

Zhang Guan was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked, "If I use a more extreme style of play, will I be able to win relatively easily?" ”

"Extreme play? Is the landing point as much as possible? Coach Joyce asked rhetorically.

Zhang Guan nodded, but Coach Joyce didn't approve of it.

"I think it's better to play it steady. If you play too hard, it will put a lot of pressure on your opponent, but the success rate is something we have to consider. Even if you have a relatively high probability of success, you cannot guarantee that the referee's judgment will be accurate. Sometimes, your ball is in touch but the referee may think it's a throw-in. Coach Joyce spoke.

"If the referee makes a mistake, I can challenge Hawkeye." Zhang Guan said.

"You only have three chances to fail, and even if you come in and tie-break, you only have four chances to lose, unless you can guarantee that your challenge will always succeed. But that's absolutely impossible. Coach Joyce continued: "Take the serve as an example, your serve speed is more than 200 kilometers per hour, and the ball with such a fast speed must be closely watched to be able to see clearly, and the landing point of your shot is on the opponent's court, the distance is too far away, even a shooter cannot judge the precise landing point of the ball." What's more, you have to prepare for the next return, so you can't always focus on the opponent's touchline! ”

"Not necessarily, maybe I can 100% succeed in the challenge!" Zhang Guan smiled, and then found a good thing in the system.
