On the third day of the Australian Open, in addition to the second round of the men's and women's singles, the first round of the women's doubles officially began later on the day.

There were still no big upsets on the third match day, and judging from the score, several top players gradually found the feeling of the game. Two of the three golden flowers of the national team's postponed matches defeated their opponents and won the promotion.

On the fourth day, the second round of the men's and women's singles is still underway, and Zhang Guan and Sharapova will also take on this day.

On this day, both the Rod Laver Stadium and the Vodafone Stadium have five matches scheduled, with the Rod Laver Stadium having three men's singles and two women's singles matches, while the Vodafone Stadium has three women's singles and two men's singles matches.

Sharapova vented her bitterness to the media after the first round of matches, complaining about the hot weather, so the Australian Open organizers scheduled Sharapova's match to be played in the last match, and the venue was adjusted to Vodafone Stadium. Under normal circumstances, a game lasts two to three hours, and excluding the lunch break, the fifth game will be held in the evening or even at night, when the temperature will definitely drop a lot. This is also a privilege for the top seed in women's singles.

Zhang's match was scheduled for the fourth match, which was played on the MCA Stadium, the third largest court at the Australian Open.

Today, there are a total of four games arranged on the MCA court, three men's singles and one women's singles, the games in the previous arena ended relatively quickly, the scores of the two men's singles were 3-0, and the score of one women's singles was 2-1, and the highest single-set score was 6-4, and there was no tie-break, so the rhythm of the game improved a lot.

In the third match, eighth seed Nalbandian comfortably defeated Ecuador's Lapanti 3-0 on aggregate to advance to the third round. The next fourth match was a duel between Zhang Guan and Grosjean.

"It's the second round of the Men's Singles that will take place against Men's Singles No.28 seed Sébastien Grosjean and Zhang Guan, who is on a sponsor's wild card!" The narrator didn't forget to mention the wild card at this time.

Two players warming up on the field at the same time. The commentator also introduced the first round of the two.

"Zhang Guan won 3-0 against O'Roches, which I think was something that everyone didn't expect before the game. However, Rochester was obviously not in the game at that time, and his body was getting better and he was feeling a little unwell, so he lost the game. And today Grosjean looks clearly in good form, so Zhang Guan may not be as lucky as in the first round. The narrator spoke.

The commentator apparently hadn't watched Zhang's first-round match, so he thought that Zhang's ability to advance was due to Rochester's physical discomfort. The commentator is also a tennis professional. However, the first round of the Australian Open combined 128 matches for men and women, and the commentator certainly can't watch every game, and for some unseeded matches, they often just look at the score.

"Okay, both players are ready and the game is about to start! The first is Zhang Guan's service game. ”

At this time, Zhang Guan was already in position and ready to serve. He was still lucky today, winning against Grosjean when guessing heads and tails. So I got the opportunity to serve first.

Grosjean stared at Zhang Guan closely, but remembered the video of the match between Zhang Guan and Roches.

Zhang Guan mainly uses a flat serve, but the serve speed is very fast, and Zhang Guan's serve in the video seems to be less than 200 kilometers per hour, and there is even a serve with a speed of more than 210 kilometers per hour. At 200 km, it's easier for me to catch the ball with my forehand. ”

Thinking of this, Grosjean subconsciously leaned towards the backhand position. And deliberately flashed his forehand.

I saw a hand throw the ball, and then a blow was swung.

"It's coming! It doesn't seem to be fast. It wasn't what I expected, it was less than 200 kilometres. Grosjean suddenly had a sense of steadyness, and what he was most worried about before the match was Zhang Guan's high-speed serve, after all, a serve of more than 200 kilometers per hour is not so easy to catch, and the first ball now does not look very fast. It's not much different from the average Grand Slam seed.

"I thought it would be the kind of high-speed serve, but I didn't expect the speed to be not fast, I have a chance for this ball! It looks like I'll be the first to take the lead in this game. Grosjean thought as he moved quickly. Prepare to catch the ball.

The tennis ball flew past the king of balls and bounced on the ground, but the crisp sound when it hit the ground made Gross's heart tighten.

"This sound is not a flat serve, it's an upspin ball! It turned out to be an upspin serve, no wonder the speed was much slower. Grosjean made a split second judgment.

As a professional tennis player, judging the condition of the ball by sound is one of the most basic skills, and Gross, the Australian Open seed, is already very pure in this regard.

"Judging from the standard of the above spin serve, the speed of this ball is quite fast, but this kind of serve is too ordinary, I can already see through your landing point! Hey, not good! Gross jerked the racket out, but the tennis ball bounced out first.

"Didn't get it!" Gross made his heart tighten.

“ACE！ 15-0。 The referee immediately announced the score.

"How can this be, how did the ball just spin so much!" Gross kept flashing back to his mind what had happened after the ball had landed.

Everything was normal, but after the tennis ball hit the ground and bounced again, there was an unexpected change in Grosjean, the ball bounced up much lower than Grosjean expected, and the curvature of the ball was much flatter than Grosjean expected. That is to say, after the ball hits the ground, it bounces off in a relatively straight arc, and the trajectory is much lower than normal, so that before Gross can let the racket reach over, it has already flown out of bounds.

This goal caught Gross a little off guard, but before he could figure out how to deal with it, Zhang Guan began to serve a second ball.

"Poof!" After the ball landed, it was still that crisp sound, but the landing point of this ball was even more tricky than just now.

"It's still topspin! It's the same as before! I can't catch this drop point! Grosjean suddenly felt that Zhang Guan's serve had a sense of déjà vu, and a name popped up in his mind inexplicably, a name that made all tennis players tremble.

Roger Federer!

"Why is this serve so similar to Federer's serve, this kind of low-arc topspin serve is Federer's best way of serving!" Grossjean took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Blind, must be blind! This kind of serve is Federer's unique skill, and many people can't imitate it, how could Zhang Guan have this move! Don't panic, Federer's signature serve, I try a few more times and occasionally it will be successful, Zhang Guan will not be able to master Federer's signature serve. Grossjean reassured himself.

Federer's serve wasn't the fastest, but it was definitely the hardest to catch. In particular, Federer's best topspin serve, the landing point is extremely tricky, but if it is just a tricky landing point, the biggest difference between Federer's topspin ball and others is the spin. Because Federer's topspin ball spins very strongly, and in addition to topspin, it also has some side spin, so when the ball lands and bounces, the height will be lower, the arc will be smaller, and the direction of the ball will be straighter. This kind of ball is extremely difficult to catch, and even if it is caught, it cannot grasp the landing point, so it falls into passivity.

This kind of topspin serve is Federer's signature, and no player has been able to imitate this kind of serve at present, even in the future, Federer's serve has been analyzed in slow motion from all angles, and even has become a textbook serve for tennis players, but there is still no one who can really achieve the peak Federer's kind of serve.

It is precisely because Federer's serve is almost impossible to imitate, so when Grosjean saw Zhang Guan use the same serve as Federer, he was frightened, and chose to bury his head in the soil like an ostrich, and took the initiative to believe that Zhang Guan was blind.

The next moment, Zhang Guan sent out the third ball, which landed exactly on the line.

"It's still the same as before! The arc of the bounce is so low, this is really Federer's kind of serve! "Grosjean has lost the confidence he had at the beginning of the game.

"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan's fourth serve did not continue to use the topspin ball, but used a flat serve, which hit the opponent's half like a cannonball.

"215 km!" When Grosjean saw this speed, he immediately felt a tremendous pressure coming over him.

"I almost forgot that Zhang Guan is still a super heavy gunner! With more than 210km of flat serve, coupled with Federer's signature topspin serve, how do I break serve? ”

……

Tournament No.8 seed David Nalbandian did not leave the court after his victory, but found a place to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Grosjean. Because Nalbandian's next opponent is the winner between Zhang Guan and Grosjan, Nalbandian will need to watch the form of his opponent in the third round.

In fact, Nalbandian is mainly to observe Grosjan's state, Grosjan's kind of serve net player, once it is smooth, it is difficult to entangle, even as the No. 8 seed Nalbandian does not dare to underestimate the enemy, as for Zhang Guan, he was directly ignored by Nalbandian.

However, at this time, Nalbandian's eyes stayed on Zhang Guan's body.

"That's right, it's Federer's signature topspin serve, and Zhang Guan has used it three times in a row, which is no accident, and it seems that Zhang Guan did learn Federer's serve. With Grosjean's kind of bad backhand, as long as you use this topspin serve to constantly attack Grosjean's backhand position, you can easily take the initiative and even score directly, Grosjean wants to complete the break in a certain game, I am afraid it is very difficult.
