Chapter 132: Winning the Championship and Runner-up

Pan Xiqi's side swept the opponent into the final like a falling leaf in the autumn wind, and Lin Tengke was not so easy. You must know that although Lin Teng is a tennis genius, he has great potential for future development. But in terms of its strength at this stage, it should be on par with Wu's enemy.

With the world ranking of more than 250 Wu enemies, that is, he has just gained a foothold in the challenger, which is far from the level of invincibility in the hope tournament. Therefore, Lin Teng has successfully won the game in these rounds, but he still encountered a certain degree of challenge.

Take the semi-final opponent as an example, the player from Thailand, Bonali, is also 18 years old, the same age as Lin Teng. What's even more coincidental is that this person turned out to be an alumnus of Lin Teng's American tennis school, and he has studied tennis together for several years.

In the American tennis school, Bonali and Lin Teng are known as the twin stars representing Asian tennis, which shows that Bonali's strength cannot be underestimated. Bonali, who is also an outstanding student, shows that his talent in school is not inferior to Lin Teng at all, and he and Lin Teng also have mutual wins and losses.

This Vietnam Hope Tournament is also the first stop of Bonali's entry into the senior tennis world, but he didn't expect to meet his old classmate Lin Teng in the semifinals. I have to say that after the end of his online school career, Lin Teng's competitive relationship with him will continue to the professional competition.

In the semi-finals, as soon as the two old classmates met, they naturally did not need any running-in, and directly collided with the strongest sparks. Because the opponent's strength and technical and tactical characteristics are well known, there is nothing to keep, so the two sides competed fiercely at the beginning, and the score was also stalemate.

In the first set, neither side found a suitable break opportunity in the opponent's service game, and each held serve all the way to the tie-break. In the tie-break, Lin Teng's mentality was a little impatient, and there were two undeserved active mistakes, and Bo Nali seized the opportunity to win the first set with a score of 7:4.

In the second set, Lin Teng, who had no way out, further accelerated the pace of his game, wanting to drag down the opponent through fast pace. This trick really worked, and Bonali was exhausted in this set, and was mobilized by Lin Teng to run all over the court. After breaking the opponent's serve, Lin Teng successfully pulled back a set 6:3.

As with most previous matches between the two sides, the semi-final was dragged into the third set. At this time, the game time had already taken nearly an hour and a half, and due to the fierce competition in the first two sets, coupled with the increasingly high temperature, both sides had a certain degree of physical problems.

At this time, the competition is no longer a competition of skills, but completely transformed into a confrontation of mental willpower. Whoever has stronger nerves and can grit their teeth to resist it is likely to wear down the opponent and thus take away the victory of the game.

Historically, Lin is more impatient than Bonali in terms of personality, so the balance should be tilted in favor of the Thai. At this moment, Bo Nali is also more confident in his heart, feeling that he is not afraid of Lin Teng in the long-game duel.

However, those are all old concepts, and the days spent with Pan Xiqi, although it is not long, Pan Xiqi's influence on Lin Teng is still huge. Not to mention the technical level, at least psychologically, Lin Teng seems to have become a lot stronger than before.

This kind of change is usually not visible, but when it comes to the critical moment of the game, it can often play a role in determining life and death. In the third set, the match was scorched again, and although both sides were strongly challenged by each other, they were able to hold their serve smoothly.

The score came to 6:6 again, and the decisive tie-break began. This time, Bo Nali didn't seem to feel any fluctuations in Lin Teng's mentality, and from his opinion, Lin Teng showed a victory ** that he had never seen before.

In this case, Lin Teng's will also appeared to be firmer. Although there is a risk of sending points by mistake, the critical moment is to see who dares to take the lead in the killer. Compared with the Thai player's cringe, Lin Teng's several resolute attacks took the lead in tearing apart the opponent's defense.

In a tie-break, once you get the first opportunity, you will get a huge psychological lead. Lin Teng, who was leading the score, let go of his hands and feet, and his attack was more ferocious than one beat. As a result, the conservative Thai is completely suppressed, and the victory is getting farther and farther away from him.

Finally, with a high pressure in front of the net, Lin Teng won the third set tie-break 7:2, thus reversing the Thai player with a score of 2:1 and thrillingly breaking into the final of his first adult competition!

The first time he participated in the Hope Tournament, he both entered the finals, which is a good result that Chinese men's tennis has not achieved for many years. This also means that the number of Chinese men's tennis champions in professional tennis will soon increase.

It's only the lowest-level hopeful, but it's significant. Because for Chinese men's tennis, it was only last year that Wu Di won the first challenge championship in history. Prior to this, no Chinese male player had ever won a singles title at the level of hope or above.

Although there have been several Hope Championship champions before, compared with the results that the women have won even Grand Slams, this Vietnam Hope Championship is naturally not too many for Chinese men's tennis.

After this battle, Lin Teng's physical strength was also quite consumed, and only one night's rest time could not allow him to use his best physical condition to meet the final finals. But Lin Teng didn't care about this, because in the final, he faced his biggest idol Pansiqi, even if he went all out, he didn't have the slightest chance to win the final championship.

For the final civil war, Pansiqi was even more relaxed. Lin Teng is also very excited to reach the final, at least it means that no matter what, the championship of this competition will fall into the pocket of the Chinese.

On the last match day of the Vietnam Hope Tournament, the final men's singles final was staged as scheduled. However, unlike the previous games, the atmosphere of this game was more harmonious than ever. Judging from the scene, both sides played very relaxed, and you went back and forth more like a training match.

Although the scene is relaxed, if you are knowledgeable and watch, you will find that the technical content of this game is not low at all. Especially Pansiqi, it is not so much that he is competing for the championship, but that he is doing an on-court training session for Lin Teng. In view of some of Lin Teng's existing weaknesses, he actually used the opportunity of the final to guide Lin Teng on the spot. And Lin Teng also cherishes such a precious opportunity very much, and wants to learn as much as possible from Pan Xiqi.

In a peaceful atmosphere, Panci finally won the match with two 6:3 and won the men's singles championship of this hope tournament. Although he missed the record of winning the championship without losing a game in a game, in the face of his little brother Lin Teng, how could Pan Xiqi bear to do such a thing.
