Chapter 114: A New King Ascends the Throne
The score was quickly stretched to 5:0, and by now, Wu Di had been broken by Pan Xiqi three consecutive service games. And in these five games, Wu Di only scored a pitiful two points. These two points were given to him by Pancicic who returned the ball too much for angle and went out of bounds.
"Massacre, this is a massacre against the number one seed!" A tennis veteran exclaimed in his heart.
Looking at Coach Zheng at this time, the nervousness was completely gone, replaced by an irrepressible smile on his face. Although he knew that Pan Xiqi was very strong, it was not a big problem to take down Wu's enemy. But I didn't expect the game to be so easy, and Coach Zheng admired Panxiqi's strength even more.
Looking at Lin Teng again, he actually took out his mobile phone on the sidelines, and spent most of his time scrolling through the news, and only glanced up at the field from time to time. For him, the game seemed to have long since entered garbage time, and Pancic's victory was unstoppable.
In addition to the people of the Beijing team, most of the audience present have already made their own judgments about the ownership of the championship. In this situation, even the most die-hard fans of Wu Di dare not expect Wu Di to successfully defend his title.
However, at this time, there was one person who did not give up the last hope, and that was Wu Di himself. Although it was extremely difficult to even score a point by Pansiqi's one-sided suppression, even so, he was still not completely knocked out.
"Hold on, hold on!" was directly scored by the opponent again and again, and at this time, Wu Di actually remembered what happened when he first debuted.
Due to his short and thin stature, Wu Di was considered unsuitable for the sport when he touched tennis. At his own insistence, he finally embarked on a professional path. However, after becoming a professional tennis player, Wu Di faced more ridicule and doubts.
Almost everyone advised him to give up, believing that with his physical condition, it was impossible to do well in the competitive sport of tennis. Some people even conclude that he will definitely not be able to win even a professional match, and he will definitely retire from tennis.
However, no matter how much others are not optimistic about him, he has never given up. Since he was a child, he has firmly believed in a truth, that is, where there is a will, there is a way. Although God did not give him a good body to play tennis, with his hard training, he will definitely be able to play a good game.
With years of inhumane hard training, his skills have gotten higher and better, and his results have gotten better and better. One after another opponents who were taller and stronger than themselves fell under their own shots, and in the doubts of others, Wu Di insisted on hitting the position of the national champion.
God knows how much effort he put in to get to this point. Therefore, even if the situation is unfavorable and the opponent is strong, he will never give up his desire for victory.
For Wu's enemies, Pan Xiqi was too strong, so strong that there was almost no hope of victory. However, in his heart, as long as the game is not over, he has a chance. In any case, he will hold on to the last point, maybe the miracle will happen again!
On the court, Pansic also seemed to feel the inner changes of Wu Di. Because in this case, the average opponent should have given up resistance a long time ago, but Wu Di did not, until now, he is still running hard for every ball. As long as the ball does not land, he will do his best to save and fight!
Wu Di's insistence on never giving up gradually moved Pan Xiqi. From Wu Di, he seems to see the same deep love for tennis as himself. It was a belief, a spirit that only those who also took tennis as their credo would understand.
When it came to his own serve to win the set, Pansiqi originally wanted to save some face for the defending crown and let the water concede a game to the opponent. But now, Pansiqi has changed his mind. Because he knew that if he did this, he would be trampling on Wu's insistence on hostile tennis. It is not only a disrespect for the invincible, but also for tennis. Therefore, Pan Xiqi decided to go all out in this game and start a truly fair dialogue with Wu's enemy.
Pansic, who is full of firepower, is simply the embodiment of the god of tennis for domestic players. With more than 200 kilometers per hour on the serve, perfect landing points and unpredictable lines, Panci made four aces in a row for the first time in the service game. In this way, in the men's singles final of the Grand Prix, in the first set, Pan Xiqi sent the defending champion Wu Di a 6:0.
During the break, Pan Xiqi was still expressionless, and outsiders couldn't see his state of mind at the moment from his face. On the other hand, Wu Di, who had just eaten a duck egg, was also very calm, and seemed to be completely unaffected by the score. Judging from this emotional control ability alone, Wu Di is indeed stronger than his old opponent Zhang Ze, and it is no wonder that he can sit firmly as the first person in China in recent years.
In fact, for Wu Di, it is not so much that he is calm, but that he has now entered a state of no desire and no desire. Pansiqi has already determined that he can't play, and in the next game, as long as he does his best, he can be regarded as worthy of his heart.
Under Wu Di's relaxed mentality, the second set was more exciting than the first. Although Pan Xiqi was still absolutely suppressed on the field, Wu Di's baseline ability and fast running still allowed both sides to hit a lot of amazing fairy balls. There was even a ball, and Wu Di forced the ball back to a dead corner when he fell, so that Pan Xiqi could only look at the ball and sigh.
This ball made the audience thunderous, and even Pansiqi took the initiative to applaud his opponent. It was this ball that pushed the final to the top. In the minds of the audience, they also seem to have forgotten the score on the field. All that's left is to enjoy the wonderful performances of the two strongest men's singles players in China today.
6:2, which is the final score of the second set. With his frantic defense, Wu Di snatched two precious games from Pan Xiqi's mouth. Although he still lost the match in the end, Wu won the respect of the whole audience, including Pansiqi.
"6:0, 6:2, Pansiqi wins 2:0!"
With the referee announcing the score for the last time, Pan Xiqi finally won the men's singles championship of this Grand Prix, and also won the first national championship in the history of the Beijing team!
"Pansiqi, Pansiqi!" The audience collectively stood up and shouted Pansiqi's name in unison to welcome the birth of the new champion.
On both sides of the net, the two new and old champions of the tournament clasped their right hands tightly together.
"Pansiqi, well done! You are the new king, and in you, I finally see the hope of Chinese men's tennis. Promise me, you must represent our Chinese men and play our dignity in the world! Wu Di held Pan Xiqi's hand tightly and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down! I want to prove to the world that in tennis, we Chinese men can do it too! ”
