Chapter 287: The Swiss Princess

That night, Lu Yanxun, who returned to his residence, still held his men's doubles trophy tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone else would snatch it. Looking at his posture of looking at the trophy from head to toe every five minutes, Pan Xiqi even suspected that Lu Yanxun might be holding the trophy when he slept tonight.

Fortunately, although Lu Yanxun was excited, considering that Pan Xiqi still had a competition task the day after tomorrow, he didn't make too much trouble, just screamed a few times in his room. Pansiqi, on the other hand, had no time to enjoy the doubles title because the most important tournament for him had yet to come.

On September 9, Panci will play in his second final of the US Open, the mixed doubles. In a Grand Slam tournament, mixed doubles is often the least noticed event, and the championship prize money is not comparable to singles, but also much lower than men's and women's doubles.

However, this does not mean that the 2017 US Open mixed doubles final will not be ignored, at least as long as you see the final lineup, it is easy to attract the attention of fans. Take Pan Xiqi and Wang Chang as examples, as the first pair of Chinese players to enter the Grand Slam mixed doubles final, they are naturally sought after by Chinese fans throughout the process. In addition, Pancic's amazing performance in the men's singles event and the potential to create a Grand Slam to win three titles have also attracted the attention of many foreign sports media.

Looking at the opponent of Pansiqi's combination in the final, it is really a famous name, like thunder. Switzerland's Hingis and Great Britain's Murray, the international duo who are the top seeds in the mixed doubles at the US Open, also went on to win four matches in a row to reach the final.

When Pansiqi learned that his opponents in the final were these two people, he was really dumbfounded for a long time. Especially for the encounter with Hingis, Pansizzi was not mentally prepared at all. You know, in his mind, Hingis is a high-ranking Swiss princess, and she can't fight with herself.

Of course, this is not to say that Hingis really has anything to do with the Swiss royal family, the so-called Swiss princess is just a nickname given to Hingis by the majority of fans. Hingis, who debuted at the age of 16, has always given people an aristocratic atmosphere with his beautiful face and elegant calmness on the court. In addition, she sometimes loses her temper willfully, like a spoiled princess, hence the title of Swiss princess.

Anyone who knows a little about tennis will know that before Williams dominated the tennis world, women's tennis was the world of Hingis, a genius who was born. At that time, she ranked No. 1 in the world, and she was in the limelight for a while, and she was known as the peerless pride of women's tennis with the Russian beauty Kournikova.

It can be said that the reason why Pancich became a tennis fan is largely inseparable from Hingis. Pansic, who was still in elementary school at the time, happened to see Hingis's game on TV one day and was immediately attracted by this elegant sport. What fascinates him even more is that Hingis is like a tennis elf with his wonderful tennis talent, turning the sport of tennis into an art. Since then, tennis has been deeply rooted in Pansiqi's heart, and it is not until today, 20 years later, that it blossoms in the most splendid way.

Due to the great success of Hingis in tennis at that time, the smart style of play became the main genre of women's tennis. It wasn't until the advent of the big and small Wei sisters that the violent style of play was rampant in the tennis world, and Hingis was also squeezed by the Weisi sisters, gradually lost his dominance, and then faded out of the tennis world.

However, in Pansiqi's mind, Hingis left him with classic memories that he will never forget. Therefore, for women's tennis, which is constantly pursuing power and becoming more and more masculine, Pansic has always been unable to find the beauty of the beginning. Although Hingis can occasionally be found in Poland's Radwanska, Pancic's view is long gone.

Although he has been retired for many years, this does not mean that Hingis is no longer related to tennis. Especially in the past two years, Hingis has made a full comeback to participate in doubles competitions, and he has still been able to stay at the top ranks. Due to the low physical requirements of the doubles competition, with superior ball intelligence and exquisite touch, Hingis has won a number of doubles Grand Slams with different opponents. It's fair to say that the Swiss legend's number of Grand Slams is far from the limit.

The thought of being about to be separated from his childhood idol Hingis made Pansic feel like he was dreaming. He didn't even know if he would resist the urge to take a photo with Hingis when he saw him.

In addition, Hingis's partner, Murray from the United Kingdom, is also the number one celebrity in tennis. Of course, this Murray is not Bi Murray, whose full name is Jeremy Murray, and is the brother of Andy Murray, one of the famous Big Four.

When he first debuted, Jeremy Murray did have a bit of a younger brother's light and received a lot of extra attention. Gradually, however, as his tennis performance improved, especially after winning the doubles Grand Slam championships, he gradually shed the aura of his younger brother and was recognized as a highly talented doubles player in the field of doubles.

These are the two top men's and women's doubles players who formed the top seeds in the mixed doubles of this year's US Open and became the opponents of Pancicic in the final. For such a final lineup, the US Open organizing committee really can't think of a combination that can attract the public's attention more than this.

Just when Pan Xiqi was excited about to face his idol, Wang Chang's unexpected situation made Pan Xiqi realize that doubles is a team event, and in addition to managing his own emotions, he also needs to ensure that his teammates' emotions are always in a stable state.

The night before the mixed doubles final, Panci was preparing to go to bed early to regain his energy from a day of doubles. However, when he was just about to fall asleep, he suddenly received a message from Wang Yan on WeChat.

"Come out, I'll see you downstairs at your house, at the old place."

In just one sentence, Pan Xiqi saw it as if he had stepped on a landmine, and jumped up directly from the bed. After dressing as quickly as possible, Pan Xiqi actually arrived at the small river where Pan Xiqi and Wang Yan often dated within ten minutes. At this time, Wang Yan's graceful figure was standing quietly by the river, which made Pan Xiqi feel shaken for a while.

Hearing Pan Xiqi's footsteps, Wang Yan slowly turned her head, and what caught Pan Xiqi's eyes was a pair of slightly swollen apricot eyes. Obviously, Wang Yan just cried. Seeing Pan Xiqi approaching, Wang Yan hesitated at first, and finally couldn't help it and threw herself into Pan Xiqi's arms. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
