In the US Open semifinal, Sharapova's opponent was French Maurice Moss.

In the latest ranking announced by WTA, Maurismo ranked first. This year's Mauresmo is in very good shape. In the three Grand Slam events that ended before, Mauresmo has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Sharapova had played against Maurismo three times before, but there was no victory, so Maurismo still had a psychological advantage, but after the game began, Sharapova used Maurismo to slowly warm up. Features, use extremely aggressive play to target Maurice Moss. As a result, Mauresmo lost his serve three times in a row, losing the first set game 0-6, and was shaved by Sharapova.

After the second set started, Maurismo began to find his own state, and in the tenth inning broke successfully, pulling back a set 6-4.

In the third set of the tiebreaker, Sharapova played out. The first game was successfully broken, and the second game was successfully defended. Then the third game was successfully broken again, and then the success was guaranteed. Mauresmo, who was 0-4 behind, had a psychological problem. As a result, he lost two games in a row and lost this set with a 0-6. At the same time, he also lost the entire game.

Sharapova successfully advanced to the final. In the other semi-final, Haining defeated Jankovic, so Sharapova will play against Haining in the final.

In the record of the match between the two, Haining took advantage of 5 wins and 1 loss, and in this year's Australian Open, Sharapova was eliminated by Haining. This year's Haining is also in good shape. She has successfully entered the finals of the four majors. Although Haining lost to Mauresmo in the finals of the Australian Open and Wimbledon, he defeated Kuznetsova in the French Open and won the championship.

In the US Open final, Sharapova and Haining competed in the first set. Sharapova broke twice, but Haining broke it once. In the end, Sharapova broke the opponent's serve once and went to the next city first.

In the second set, in the first six innings, the two sides successfully secured each other, but Haining made several mistakes in the seventh inning. Sharapova seized the opportunity successively and eventually lost the serve. Under the score of 4-3, the two kept a serve, and in the tenth inning, Sharapova succeeded. Gained a 6-4 victory again. This also means that Sharapova defeated Haining with a total score of 2-0 and won the US Open championship.

This is Sharapova's first US Open champion and Sharapova's second Grand Slam champion. After winning at Wimbledon in 2004, the 19-year-old girl once again won the Grand Slam US Open championship trophy.

...

Corona Park, Flushing Prairie, Queens, New York.

This park was established in 1939. And once held in 1964, the iconic globe is located here. After more than half a century of development, it has become a well-known leisure and entertainment park with complete facilities, including a tennis center, Citi Field, New York Science Museum, Queens Museum of Art, Queens Theater, Queens Wildlife Center, etc.

Today, the US Open Charity Day will be held here, and a lot of spectators will gather at the tennis center in the park. Most of them are Chinese. Some of them are tennis fans. They came here to see the style of Sharapova and Li Na, but more people still wanted to win the championship.

Now Zhang Guan's influence in the world is far above Sharapova, not to mention that Flushing was originally a Chinese gathering area in New York, and Zhang Guan can naturally attract Chinese residents nearby.

The organizer specially arranged a tennis mixed doubles match for the Charity Day promotion. The two parties were Sharapova, Zhang Guan, Li Na and Jiang Shan.

Saying it is a competition, it is actually just playing a show game. After all, charity events cannot make athletes play the game with full swords and guns. The rules refer to the tie-break game.

In the athlete’s preparation area, Sharapova handed the racket to Zhang Guan, and then asked with some uneasiness: “You should understand the rules! They serve one ball first, we serve two balls, and another player Serve two, another of our players then serve, and so on..."

"Relax, I understand. We have a saying in China. Haven't I eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run!" Zhang Guan replied in Chinese-style English while smiling.

"Pork? Pig run?" Sharapova pondered for a few seconds before she realized Zhang Guan's consciousness. Then she made a face at Zhang Guan and said, "You are a pig!"

Zhang Guan smiled, tried the racket in his hand, and found it quite smooth, then he entered the system and found the skill bar.

"Skill iron arm, increase the strength of both arms, learned! Skills move left and right, learned! And move forward and backward, also learned! These two skills can also be synthesized? Synthesis!......" Zhang Guantuhao generally learned Several master-level skills cost a dozen skill points at once.

"In front of Martha, it can't be embarrassing! But it seems like it's spent a lot..." Zhang Guan suddenly felt that he was a little vanity, and it was a waste to spend so many skill points at once.

"Although it's quite wasteful, but after learning these skills, you can practice with Martha in the future, so it seems worthwhile!" Zhang Guan forcibly made an excuse for himself and comforted the stingy little heart .

At the same time, not far away, Li Na and Jiang Shan and his wife are also preparing.

"Don't forget what I told you last night, Zhang Guan will be allowed for a while!" Li Na said to Jiang Shan: "After all, Zhang Guan is not a professional tennis player and may not even reach the level of amateurism. Sha Although Rapova is powerful, no matter how powerful, it is impossible to beat one or two. In this charity exhibition, it is not good to shave others."

"Relax, I can't forget, I'll let them have a few points. I think you act with your eyes." Jiang Shan said with confidence: "It's been a long time since I was paired with you, and my hands are a little bit alive."

Jiang Shan is also a professional athlete, and has also won the mixed doubles championship of the National Games. Although he is not strong enough to participate in the ATP Grand Slam tournament, and has retired for a long time, he has been engaged in tennis coaching, and his skills are not new. What's more important is that Jiang Shan once played a mixed double with Li Na, plus a couple. The cooperation between them is even stronger than the average mixed doubles.

Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete, and his tennis strength is naturally not as good as that of professional athlete Jiang Shan, so this game is basically Sharapova's two fights. In addition, doubles is a sport that is a test of cooperation. Zhang Guan, a layman, appears in the doubles arena. Not only is there no help, but it is also likely to lag behind.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Li and his wife, the strength gap between the two sides is too great, and there is no suspense in the victory and defeat of this exhibition game. If they don't give in, Zhang Guan and Sharapova may not get one point on one side.

at last. In the cheers and applause of the live game, the athletes of both sides embarked on the field. ,

Jiang Shan took the lead and Sharapova received the ball.

I saw that Jiang Shan served a very ordinary ball in a textbook-like serving posture. The ball did not have any rotation, the speed was not fast, and the landing point was also very good.

Sharapova easily returned the ball to Li's side. There was also not much force applied, and Li Na raised her hand and returned the ball to Sharapova, then Sharapova returned the ball to Li Na, and Li Na returned to Sharapova... …

Sharapova and Li seemed to warm up, hitting each other and returning the ball. Zhang Guan and Jiang Shan simply stood there, staring at the performance of the two female players.

Exhibition game. Of course, we must first play a few tacit ball.

The two played back and forth for four or five beats, which was the first warm-up, and then Sharapova took the lead in changing. She slammed the corner and returned the ball to Jiang Shan. Although the strength of this ball is average, it still carries some upswing. For tennis players, topspin is the most common way to return the ball.

Zhang Guan had already told Sharapova before the game that Jiang Shan was a professional tennis player. And she is very good at mixing doubles, so Sharapova added a top spin to the ball, she is not worried that Jiang Shan will not receive it.

An ordinary topspin that is not fast, of course, is not difficult to reach Jiang Shan, but at this time, Li Na suddenly coughed twice at Jiang Shan, Jiang Shan immediately understood, this is to ask him to let the ball. So Jiang Shan returned the ball to Zhang Guan's side.

In terms of the quality of the return, the return is very poor, and the opponent can easily volley in front of the net. Of course, this was intentional by Jiang Shan. He deliberately made a good shot for Zhang Guan, let Zhang Guan take the first point.

Zhang Guan did not miss this opportunity, directly a tennis volley, played a tricky angle. Jiang Shan and Li Na didn't try to catch the ball, it was a point for Zhang Guan.

The score of this tie-breaker became 1:0, and Zhang Guan served.

"I don't know how good Zhang Guan's serve is. I should be able to serve successfully. If my double serve fails, my face will not look good. Even if the serving quality is not good for a while, I will help him adjust it properly." Li Na thought silently that she was still worried about Zhang Guan's successful serve.

Zhang Guan started to serve, he threw the tennis ball into the air, and his body also made a serving posture.

"The height of the tossing is just right, and the posture is also very standard. It is quite good to have this serving posture at the amateur level! It seems that there are some feelings of European and American athletes serving, which should be taught by Sharapova." Li While silently giving the evaluation in his heart, he also did not forget to take a peek at Sharapova.

At the next moment, a yellow shadow flew by Li Na's side suddenly, and she didn't even react, and the tennis ball flew past.

"Ace!" "2-0"

"What! How fast is this serve! I haven't reacted yet!" Li Na looked back at the tennis ball that had rolled behind him. As a professional tennis player, he immediately judged that the speed of this ball must definitely exceed 200 kilometers per hour.

Serving speeds over 200 kilometers per hour, even in the men's Grand Slam tournament, are extremely rare. As a female player, it is almost impossible to catch a service over 200 kilometers per hour.

Jiang Shan is also incredible. As a professional tennis coach, of course, he can see that even Zhang Guan’s serve was not so easy to receive even in the Grand Slam match. With Li Na now The level, even after receiving this serve, certainly does not have any quality of reception.

"How come this serve is so fast! I don't know which grand slam famous serve? Zhang Guan, an track and field athlete, was able to serve such a ball, it should be just a coincidence..."

(Explanation: The tennis speed written earlier used miles per hour, because the information checked at the time was miles per hour, but this unit may be awkward to read, so I will convert it to kilometers per hour to write in the future) (unfinished Continued.)
