This is Zhang Guan's first tennis tournament. He hurried back to the country after the US Open. When he arrived, China Open had already started the next day.

Of course, Zhang Guan could not participate in the game of the day, and his opponent, another national team player with a wild card, directly chose to abstain, which was equivalent to escorting Zhang Guan into the second round and also rest time for Zhang Guan. .

In the next five days, Zhang Guan will face the schedule of five days and five games. Although there are games every day, in fact, the physical energy consumption is not great. Because the men's singles in the Chinese Open are three sets and two wins, and there is no long-term tie-breaker, the physical exertion of athletes is much smaller.

In the men’s singles game, the Davis Cup, atp year-end finals and the four Grand Slam Opens use five sets and three wins, while others such as the Masters Tournament, Tournament, Gold Tournament, etc. are all three sets and two sets. The victory, so the game time has been shortened a lot, the game rhythm is also more compact, the game intensity has been reduced, and the athletes can also bear the continuous game.

Due to the time of the game, the seed players of the Chinese Open are all players who were eliminated early in the US Open, such as Ljubicic, Gonzalez, and Li Hengze. Of course, there is one exception, that is Lamor Davydenko, who flew to the Chinese Open non-stop to participate in the game after the US Open.

For Cilic, it is already a great honour to play against the legendary player Zhang Guan who holds a grand slam. As for victory, it is a luxury. As a result, Zhang Guan won 6-2/6-1 and was easily promoted to The third round.

There are only 32 players participating in the China Open. The third round is actually the quarter-finals. Zhang Guan met the German Nicholas Kiefer in the third round. Kiefer was a 30-year-old veteran who was also ranked fourth in the world, but recently In the past few years, with the increase of age and the increase of injuries, the state has declined. Zhang Guan advanced to the semifinals easily with two 6-3.

In the semi-finals, Zhang Guan met Liu Bisic. The Croatian heavy artillery's state of decline this year is indeed very powerful. Although his serve is still strong and worthy of the title of "ace ball" master, his movement is much worse. And Zhang Guan, a player who is good at changing the rhythm of offense and defense, can move directly to the surrender if he can't keep up.

Zhang Guan defeated Ljubicic 6-4/6-3 and advanced to the final. His opponent in the final was Spaniard Robredo.

Robredo is different from other Spanish players. He belongs to the kind of player who can play stable on any court. Before the rise of Nadal, Robredo was a representative of Spanish tennis.

However, under Zhang Guan's active offensive, he did not support for too long, and he quickly defeated. Zhang Guan defeated Robredo with a score of 6-4/6-1 and successfully won the championship of the Chinese Open.

With more than 20 years of history, China Open has finally ushered in a local champion, which is of great significance to China Open. Organizers, sponsors, viewers, everyone wants to see this ending. And Zhang Guan still did not disappoint everyone.

"I won't tell you how to beat me! This is my secret!" Zhang Guan looked to the distance, and then said: "This season is over, beautiful season, beautiful end!"

"Wonderful end? This should have just begun for you!" Federer increased his tone, and then said: "Your era has just begun."

"Roger, you know, next year is the Olympic year." Zhang Guan's voice stopped, and Federer's expression seemed a little inexplicable.

Zhang Guan said, "Next year is the Olympic year, and it is the first time that my country will host the Olympics. This is of special significance to us. You should be able to understand it!"

Federer nodded: "So? Do you want to give up tennis and focus on preparing for the Olympics and continue your track and field?"

"You can't talk about giving up tennis. It's just that there are so many interesting sports in the world, I want to try it. Keeping up with new challenges is also challenging myself. Every different sports, come to me It seems like a peak, waiting for me to conquer!" Zhang Guan said here, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
