Chapter 262: Advance to the Final Four
Pansiqi's dramatic victory in the second set didn't really shake the crowd too much. The more than 20,000 American spectators in the audience didn't even realize that they had just witnessed a match that would surely go down in the history books of tennis.
Anyone who has ever watched the game knows that during the game, except for the lively atmosphere of the DJ during the interval, no one will introduce anything about what happens on the field at other moments. And who would really bother to remember how many points each player scored or made a few mistakes in this game. After all, these are the jobs that only television broadcasters do.
So although Pansiqi accomplished the feat of the golden egg, the audience did not realize it. All they knew was that the second set was a terrible game for Quiley. The whole game was more like a show of individual mistakes by Querrey.
Affected by the poor performance of the hosts' players, Arthur Ashe Stadium also completely cooled down from the madness of the opening game. Except for a few die-hard fans who are still cheering for him from time to time, the cheers of Chinese fans at other times are far more than the voices of American fans.
However, the viewers who watched the game in front of the TV, due to the professional statistics given by the TV media, realized what had just happened for the first time. Both American and Chinese fans are in a state of fryer at the moment.
For the American audience tuning in to the televised air, the game was nothing less than a major disaster. You must know that Arthur Ashe Stadium, as the home of American players, has witnessed the glorious history of countless American tennis superstars. But now, thanks to Pancic's golden egg, Arthur Ashe Court and Quarey will be nailed to the pillar of shame in tennis history forever.
Countless American fans, after watching the second set of the match, were extremely disappointed to turn off the TV or switch to other programs. For them, this game is destined to be a memory they don't want to remember again.
At home, on the other hand, the scene is completely different at the moment. As soon as the second set of the game ended, the CCTV commentator was very excited to popularize the professional knowledge about the golden egg to the audience in front of the TV. After knowing the special significance of the golden egg, Chinese fans were all deeply impressed by Pan Xiqi's performance. In their opinion, Pansiqi slapped the invincible American in the face on the home field of the Americans, which was really happy.
As for Zheng Jie, who was the guest commentator, she couldn't say anything at the moment. Because she never dreamed that in her lifetime, she would be able to see Chinese male players giving golden eggs to American players. If someone had told her a month ago that this was going to happen, she would have thought that person was crazy.
Back on the field, Pansiqi, who had successfully delivered the golden egg, was sitting in the player's chair with his eyes closed, and there was no smug look on his face. On the other side, Quirrey stared straight at the racket in his hand, and didn't seem to show too much frustration. If someone who didn't watch the score saw the appearance of these two players at this time, it was really difficult to guess who took the lead.
The 90-second break ended with the third set continuing. The two sides played less than two games, and even Queirey's most die-hard fans were completely disappointed. Because in their opinion, this is a complete copy of the second set.
There were no tactical changes, no responses, and the players on both sides completely followed the technical and tactical style of play in the second set. Needless to say, since the spin restrained the opponent, then he didn't need to change it in the third set.
And Quirrey is more tragic, it's not that he doesn't want to change, but he doesn't know how to change at all. In the first few games of the second set, he tried every solution he could think of, but to no avail. No matter what tricks he used, Pansiqi was like a terrifying black hole, swallowing up all his efforts without mercy.
So in the third set, he didn't push himself anymore, he didn't think about a comeback, he just wanted to finish the game as soon as possible and get out of the damn court. In this case, Querrey's swing seemed more casual, and many Pansiqi looked at the return ball that was not particularly tricky, and he also voluntarily gave up and did not defend.
Soon, the score was stretched to 3:0 again, and it seemed to be another game of massacre. At this point, the long-patient American crowd completely stopped, and after Querrey casually missed a baseline return and lost the third game, a deafening boo erupted from the sidelines.
"Shame on you, shame on you! After the boos, the American fans collectively shouted rhythmically into the field.
Needless to say, these boos were naturally directed at Querrey. More than 20,000 American spectators at the scene came to watch the match with great anticipation before the game, but they did not expect that as soon as the match reached the third set, Quirrey took the initiative to give up resistance, which made it unacceptable for them in any case.
Listening to the boos that came to his ears, Querrey's cheeks grew red. Thinking of the unreserved support of the fans at the opening time, his status in the hearts of the fans at this moment is simply very different. Realizing that if he ended the game in this way, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of the American fans in the future, Querrey actually burst out with strong fighting spirit again.
Back on the field, Quirrey was like a different person, showing a mad dog-like stance. At this moment, he is no longer fighting for the victory of the game, but for his own dignity, the dignity of American tennis!
However, fighting spirit alone can't make up for Quarey's technical disadvantage. Although he did his best to save every return, under Pancizi's careful control, Querrey found that the time it took to get in place was getting slower and slower.
"It turns out that there is such a big gap between myself and him!" At this moment, Quirrey finally realized that there was no comparison between himself and Pansiqi. Now it seems that his pre-match domineering declaration of war was childish and ridiculous.
4:0,5:0,6:0! Querrey still couldn't resist Pancic's advance, and could only watch as his opponent won the third set.
In this way, with his amazing spin and change, Pansiqi successfully defeated his opponent 3:0 with a suffocating 15-game winning streak after falling behind 3:4 in the first set and advanced to the semifinals of this US Open!
