Chapter 131: The Sun Is Like Fire
In the next few days, Pan Xiqi reported to the stadium on time every day, and then spent less than an hour to settle the battle, and returned to the hotel together after Lin Teng also finished the game.
It stands to reason that during the competition, athletes need to do a certain amount of on-court batting practice and physical recovery training after the game every day to ensure the continuity of their state. That's why the training ground is also very popular during major tennis tournaments. Because here, you might meet some tennis queen doing pre-match training here.
However, for Pansiqi, the weather in Vietnam was so hot that he didn't want to be exposed to the sun for a minute if it wasn't for the game. Therefore, the daily training on the court was naturally cancelled. As for physical training in the gym, don't even think about it. It's good that this small broken hotel can guarantee the supply of hot water, and the gym is something that only star hotels have.
While minimizing outdoor activities, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng's complexions still darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. It can be said that Pansiqi is now the darkest moment in his life for more than thirty years. Not only that, but the sun exposure also caused a certain degree of damage to his exposed skin, not to mention how sour the skin felt when he took a bath.
Unknowingly, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng have successfully advanced to the final four, and they are only one step away from the finals. In the three main matches won before, plus three qualifying matches, six games in a row, Pan Xiqi was stunned that he didn't let his opponent get even one game, and all of them gave duck eggs without exception.
To say that this situation is really a loss of character, but the Vietnamese sun is too vicious, Pansiqi pursues a quick victory in every game, and is unwilling to stay on the court for even a minute longer.
Although there is sometimes a large difference in strength between the players in the hope race, there is often a disparity in the score of the eggs. But it's also very rare for Pansiqi to give away double yolks in six consecutive games. At least this means that Pansiqi is completely invincible among players at this level.
Although such a terrifying result was achieved, because the level of the Hope Tournament was too low and it was held in Vietnam, Pansiqi's abnormal performance did not cause any splash, but only surprised the staff of the organizing committee to count the scores.
As for the country, at this time, everyone's eyes are on the French Open tennis tournament in full swing. A large number of media followed China Jinhua to Paris to bring the latest news of the competition to the domestic audience every day. In comparison, Pansizi's participation in this hope tournament has almost zero attention. It seems that everyone does not realize that the new national champion of the country is creating the history of Chinese men's tennis in Southeast Asia.
In the semi-finals, Pansić's opponent was the tournament's top seed, Kazakhstan, ranked 310. Arguably, the Kazakh is the highest-ranked player to participate in the Hope Tournament. Because if he goes one step further, he can participate in the Challenge and get out of the lowest division of the Hope event.
However, that doesn't mean the Kazakh hasn't competed in a Challenger before. Last year, he qualified for the Challenger for the first time by boosting his world ranking to an all-time high of 260 after a series of performances at the Hope Tournament.
After coming to the more competitive challenge, the Kazakh player found that almost everyone here was much stronger than the opponents of the Hope Tournament, and he was originally in the upper reaches of the Hope Tournament, but he became a cannon fodder type here.
The first round of the Challenge gave him the impression that it was even more difficult than the final of the Hope Tournament. There is no suspense, he is not strong enough, he has played several challenges in a row, but he has not passed the first round, and he has not even fished a world point.
As a result, his world ranking dropped rapidly, returning to just outside the top 300. This meant that he was disqualified from the Challenge and had to return to Hope to start over.
You must know that the challenge is not much higher than the hope tournament in terms of prize money and hardware conditions. Therefore, the huge contrast made the Kazakh player a little unacceptable for a while, but returning to the challenge has also become his biggest driving force.
Although he was forced to return to washing dishes, he felt that after the baptism of the challenge, his vision was different from that of ordinary Hope Race players, and he felt that he was no longer at the same level as the Hope Race players. With such strong self-confidence, he really achieved a series of good results, and the world ranking gradually approached the top 300.
This time, as long as he reaches the final, he will be able to raise his ranking to within 300 in one fell swoop. Therefore, for the semi-final against Pancic, he can be described as inevitable.
For the unfamiliar name of Pansiqi, he naturally didn't take it to heart. His biggest opponent, a Japanese player, has been eliminated early, so the title of this tournament has been considered by him in advance. As for Pansiqi's previous series of amazing performances, he didn't care much. In his opinion, it was Pansiqi's luck, and the first few rounds were all rookies. Just like himself, although he didn't send eggs every game, he also had duck eggs every time he sent them before.
Looking up at the scorching sun above his head, which was radiating terrifying heat, Pansy muttered to himself, "It seems that today's temperature is going to reach a new high, and no matter what, this game must be decided quickly." ”
As the top seed, the Kazakh would have wanted to start with all the firepower and destroy his opponent's confidence from the start, as he had done in previous matches. Who knew that Pansiqi also had the same idea, and he didn't come to him at all.
After playing a few rounds, Kazakhstan sadly found that his opponent in the semifinals looked like he was playing a game, as if he was going to eat himself. On his own serve, the opponent will attack directly without reason. The success rate is also surprisingly high, and almost a board is a return to score directly.
As for the opponent's serve, it is even more terrifying. A bomb-like ace that he couldn't even touch a single ball. This level of service level has never been encountered by him even in the challenger.
The match was going on at a pace that was completely opposite to the Kazakh player's plan, and the Kazakh player was instantly blinded by watching himself lose points one after another. However, before he could come to his senses, the game was over. Two more 6:0, Pansiqi delivered the egg again. Looking at the time, less than forty minutes had passed since the start of the game.
Rao was like this, Pansiqi still shook his head dissatisfied. According to his plan, it would be better to finish in half an hour. Feeling the fire burning all over his body, Pansiqi hurriedly shook hands with his opponent and the referee, and slipped away like a burning ass, leaving the Kazakh player in place with a bewildered expression.
