Chapter 493 The New Queen of Red Soil
Is this bald head against me?
He also said that my loss to Nadal is more beneficial to tennis.
Chen Ran could expose the other party's thoughts at a glance.
"Andre is really funny, but I don't want these things to happen."
Chen Ran, who was about to fight, did not choose to reply, but said calmly.
Theoretically, the final between Chen Ran and Nadal is a 50-50 draw.
But Chen Ran has his advantage, which is that he can directly put himself at Roland Garros in the "simulation training ground" and then have a five-set battle with Nadal.
The result is still a win or lose.
Chen Ran also accepted this result calmly.
If you don't count yourself as an unexpected factor, then Nadal's clay court strength is not only in the current professional tennis world, but also in the long history.
At present, it can be seen as two "quasi-kings of clay" meeting each other on a narrow road and having to engage in a fierce duel in the same era.
When the time came to the last match day, this year's French Open also ushered in the last two singles finals.
Chen Ran came to the scene early to do some preparations and watched the women's singles final on the TV set backstage.
"The competition tasks of the Asian Games are heavy again."
After all, he had promised before that if any of the Chinese women's tennis players could reach the Grand Slam finals, he would be willing to participate in the mixed doubles competition.
This can be considered a "match" at the sports level.
Now that Zheng Jie has reached the French Open finals, she can no longer break her promise.
As far as the eye could see, Haining and Zheng Jie appeared one after another.
"This year's women's singles final should not be able to break the nearly 2 million viewership record of the French Open men's singles final two years ago, but it should set a viewing record for a Grand Slam women's event."
Both the Chinese reporters at the scene and the CCTV host were very convinced of this.
Haining is facing her most loyal maid, so it stands to reason that winning the final won't be a big problem.
But for some reason, Chen Ran always felt that Zheng Jie, who had defeated Serena Williams, had already undergone a transformation.
Zheng Jie in her previous life was really only one step away from defeating Serena Williams.
Once this step is taken, the world will be vast and boundless.
Drop~
At this time, Chen Ran's cell phone heard the sound of receiving a text message.
His heart moved slightly and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
The content of the text message was a line in English, and the fact that the message was sent surprised Chen Ran. It turned out to be Zhang Depei, his former head coach and now Zheng Jie's head coach.
The content of Zhang Depei's text message discussed an issue with Chen Ran.
"Chen, we all know that Haining's single reverse is very strong, but I think no matter how strong the single reverse is, it will not be as powerful and stable as the double reverse. You have played against Federer several times, so you should know this."
"Michael, this is inevitable. From my point of view, SLR is just an unconventional method."
Chen Ran was a little surprised that Zhang Depei would take the initiative to find him, but it also proved the importance of the other party from another angle.
"You are also a clay court expert, so you should know that the concealment of a SLR is better, but on a clay court, due to the slower ball speed, the concealment advantage of a SLR will be weakened."
When Chen Ran saw the content of Zhang Depei's text message, he couldn't help but remember that later netizens had indeed discussed on the Internet whether the one-handed backhand style was suitable for clay courts.
There are different opinions on this point. Some people say that SLRs are suitable for clay courts, thinking that this way of holding the racket can make it easier to hit high-quality topspin shots.
There are also objections, believing that in a court like clay that requires tug-of-war and perseverance, double-reflectors have a stability that cannot be matched by single-lens reflexes.
Of course, there is an indisputable fact that since Federer and Wawrinka, the once brilliant single-server style has gradually declined, and fewer and fewer top-level players use single-server play.
"I believe that the clay court is the best opportunity to beat Haining. If you miss this time, it will be difficult to meet again in the future." Zhang Depei is very sure of this.
After all, unlike Chen Ran's outstanding talent and strength, Zheng Jie was able to break into this French Open final with a bit of luck.
Eighty percent strength and two percent luck contributed to this dream trip to the French Open.
As a senior and outstanding tennis coach, Zhang Depei knew that Zheng Jie had reached the limit of limits.
In other words, after breaking through the original bottleneck, it once again reached the bottleneck.
It is almost impossible to continue to improve.
It will be even more difficult to repeat opportunities like today in the future.
After all, today's WTA should be regarded as an era where stars gather together, and the strong ones are like clouds.
However, Chen Ran could also feel Zhang Depei's uncontrollable excitement from between the lines of the text.
If Zheng Jie can win the championship, he will be the only coach to coach male and female players from the same country and let them win Grand Slam championships respectively.
Not only the players will be canonized, but the coach himself will also be canonized.
His coaching career will be more glorious than his playing career.
"Patience, what is needed most on the clay court is patience." Chen Ran also encouraged, "Michael, I believe your disciple can do it!"
……
For most media and fans, this women's singles final is far less attractive than the men's singles final.
Many people firmly believe that Zheng Jie's good luck will end here. There will be no suspense in this final, and Henin will win easily.
A maid will always be a maid.
Although the center court at Roland Garros is packed, this is just a continuation of a Parisian habit.
No one likes to see empty seats at today's important events.
At the beginning of the game, Zheng Jie seemed a little nervous, but Haining got into the state faster.
Break at the start!
"I told you, this game is going to be boring."
"A maid is a maid!"
"That Chinese female player entered the finals because she was lucky."
"Beating Serena Williams has used up all her luck."
Countless Parisian spectators said the same thing.
When the camera lens swept across Zhang Depei's face, his face was as dark as water.
Just when people thought that Haining could easily win the first set, when she served to win the game, Zheng Jie unexpectedly broke back.
She took advantage of her movement speed to suppress Haining.
Then, the two sides entered a tiebreaker.
In the tiebreaker, Zheng Jie followed the coach's instructions and used her excellent two-handed backhand to directly confront Haining's one-handed backhand.
The attack and defense between the two is a joy to watch.
“The biggest weakness of a DSLR is its lack of stability!”
Chen Ran also suddenly remembered the content of his chat with Zhang Depei.
boom!
There was a crisp sound.
Haining's single-handed shot changed direction and almost landed on the line.
Out of bounds?
The players on both sides were so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath.
The fat referee climbed down from the high chair and ran towards the spot where the tennis ball landed.
Visible to the naked eye, the fat on this guy's body is constantly trembling.
Although the Hawkeye system has been introduced in today's tennis matches, clay courts are the only exception.
Until 20 years later, the clay court game still maintains its original flavor.
Of course, this does not affect the fairness of the game.
On clay courts, the tennis ball will leave very obvious marks after it hits the ground, which allows the referee on duty to accurately determine whether the tennis ball is out of bounds.
But in this way, it will be hard for the referee to climb up and down from the high referee chair again and again.
The referee walked near the ball mark, checked it carefully for a long time, and then made a gesture.
"Out of bounds!"
Zheng Jie successfully broke serve and won the first set tiebreaker 9-7.
At this moment, the camera did not capture Chen Ran. He stood up and raised his thumb towards where Zhang Depei was sitting.
Indeed, Haining was injured.
Her footwork is perfect, her technique is mature, and she is seemingly impeccable.
But Haining's physical fitness is ultimately inferior to that of a female orc, and is even far from Sharapova, making her seem a bit mediocre.
She is very powerful at her peak, but her endurance is weaker than that of several other top players in women's tennis.
Li Na won her first Grand Slam at the age of 29, and 29-year-old Haining is already on the verge of retirement.
Zhang Depei also expected this.
On the clay court, he made Zheng Jie, who was younger and healthier, constantly wear down the opponent, and used her double reverse to create a tug-of-war with Haining's single reverse.
He is betting that the stability of the SLR is not as good as that of the DSLR. Coupled with the slow speed of the clay court, the advantage of the SLR's concealment will be greatly reduced.
Zhang Depei would not dare to try this on other courts, but he gave it a go on clay courts.
What's more, he himself is also the world's top clay court player.
In the second set, Zhang Depei's tactics worked again.
Zheng Jie once again used extraordinary tenacity to drag Haining into the tiebreaker.
In the tie-break, there were numerous multi-shot tug-of-wars.
Zheng Jie used the stability of her double reverse to once again force Haining's single reverse to return the ball into the net.
10 is better than 8!
This is the score of the second set tiebreaker.
The French Open welcomes its new queen!
