After Pansiqi successfully won the third place, the final championship and runner-up competition began immediately.

In order to show the great importance of this tennis competition, several high-level leaders of the unit came to the scene to watch the finals, and Director Zhang will award certificates and bonuses to the top three finalists.

I don't know if it was because of the unexpected elimination of Pan Xiqi in the semifinals, or the fact that the old man supervised the battle on the spot, or both, Lin Qiang's combat effectiveness in the finals was several levels stronger than usual.

In terms of strength, Lin Qiang's opponent was slightly higher than him, but under the influence of this strong desire to win, Lin Qiang played at a high level and won the opponent 6:3, and finally won the championship of this competition.

At the award ceremony, Director Zhang congratulated the successful holding of the competition and highly praised the performance of the top three contestants. It can be seen that the son-in-law won the championship, which made Director Zhang feel quite face-saving. He was happy in his heart, and he was not stingy with his praise for the players, and his joy was overflowing.

Not to mention Lin Qiang, he has been in a state of giggling since the end of the game, and it seems that this championship is enough for him to digest it for a while. Pan Xiqi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he looked stupid. However, when he saw the envelope containing the prize money in Lin Qiang's hand, which was much thicker than him, he couldn't help but pull out the department director and scolded him several times.

It seems that this is the last time I will participate in this kind of competition. A total of five matches, four wins and one loss, although it is not enough for him to know the true level of tennis, but at least it can be seen that this level of competition no longer means anything to him.

Ever since his father learned that the amateur tennis tournaments held by the CTA are attended by many amateur players, including retired professional athletes, he has been very interested in it. I guess in that kind of competition, he will be able to meet the real challenge. Even the thought of having the opportunity to play against a professional tennis player, even if he has retired, is enough to make him look forward to it.

After returning home, Pansic couldn't wait to turn on his computer, go to Baidu, and start searching for all the relevant information about CTAs. After a night of careful research, he finally figured out how to sign up for the amateur tennis tournament hosted by the CTA.

It turns out that although it is only an amateur competition, it is still quite formal because it is a competition held by the Chinese Tennis Association. Just like the World Professional Tennis Tour, the Chinese Tennis Association holds a series of amateur tournaments in various cities every year, and players who achieve excellent results in these competitions can not only get a lot of money, but also get corresponding points.

Over the course of the year, the top players can even compete in the year-end finals to compete for the year-end championship. The player who won this championship can basically be said to be the first person in amateur tennis in the country.

For many amateur tennis enthusiasts, the national amateur championship is a supreme honor. But Pansiqi wasn't impressed, and what really attracted him was the big prize.

"Wow, the men's and women's singles champions each have a bonus of 6,000 yuan, and the doubles champion also has a bonus of 3,000 yuan, which is almost catching up with the bonuses of some professional challenges!" Seeing this, Pansiqi instantly decided that he was going to participate in this competition.

Judging from the schedule on the CTA website, there is a race in Shanghai next weekend, and Pan Xiqi decided to sign up for this race after thinking that there would be nothing to do next weekend.

However, since it is a more formal competition, there are naturally many conditions for participation. After reading the competition rules that were thousands of words long, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but be a little stunned, signing up for an amateur tennis tournament is really not that simple.

First of all, the organizing committee required that the qualifications of the players need to comply with the Chinese Tennis Association's "Rules for the Identification of Amateur Players (2011 Edition)". Originally, this rule only required that amateur players had not participated in professional competitions and had no registration experience with the ITF and the Chinese Tennis Association. To put it bluntly, professional athletes are not allowed to pretend to participate in amateur competitions in order to maintain the fairness and impartiality of the competition.

As an amateur who can't be more pure, Pansiqi undoubtedly fits the bill. Then he found out that the tournament requires players to have a CTA technical level certification.

"Damn, what is this?"

After continuing to check on the Internet, Pansiqi learned that the CTA had set a series of criteria for evaluating the technical level of tennis players. There are 9 levels from lowest to highest: "CTA1" to "CTA9". "CTA1 level" represents the beginner level and "CTA9 level" represents the highest level. Amateurs can achieve their initial level through competitions, on-field evaluations, and self-assessments.

This Shanghai tournament requires singles players to have a technical level of at least CTA 3 or above, and it seems that Pan Xiqi still has to get his own technical level recognition before he can carry out the next registration work.

Finding a link to the CTA self-test on the member network of the Chinese Tennis Association, Pan Xiqi began the self-assessment.

"Are you familiar with the basic rules of singles and doubles matches, but have weak hitting links?" A pop-up option for Pansich to make a selection.

"No, isn't that nonsense?"

"Are you learning how to judge the path of the ball and short consecutive shots, but have poor course coverage?"

"Wow, if my court coverage is poor, you can find a good one for me. Select No. ”

"Do you hit the ball consistently from mid-range, with a harmonious pace and lack control over the direction, depth and power of your shots?"

"Hehe, it's not that I'm boasting, now I'm basically referring to where to fight. Not. ”

"Whether you're aggressive on the net, your ability to cover the pitch and the control of your shots have improved. Need to sharpen your doubles skills? ”

"Oh no, these few games are patronizing the bottom line, and I haven't been on the net at all. I don't know if it's offensive to go online. Forget it, be modest, just choose yes. ”

Once Pansiqi has finished selecting, the system will no longer pop up the options. After two seconds, a rating appears on the screen.

"With this system certified, your technical level is CTA5."

"It's only level five, so it's too low. Forget it, as long as you meet level 3 to be able to participate in the competition. When the time comes, when you run into those players above level 5, it's hard to say who wins and who loses. Pansiqi seemed a little unhappy with the result, but the priority was to sign up for the competition first, so he didn't care so much.

Next, Pan Xiqi filled in his various materials online on the registration website, and also paid the registration fee of 160 yuan. The organizing committee stipulated that the registration fee for each competition was 80 yuan, but Pan Xiqi paid an extra one, because he had his own little abacus in his heart.

Since everyone can sign up for two events at the same time, Pansiqi also reported the men's doubles while participating in the men's singles. As for the doubles partner, he had already thought about it.

He calculated in his mind that if he could win both men's singles and men's doubles, he would get a total of 9,000 yuan in bonuses. After deducting 20% of the personal income tax, the actual amount received is 7,200 yuan. Excluding the high-speed rail tickets for two people to and from Shanghai, the accommodation expenses, food expenses, transportation expenses, etc. for two nights, there should be a balance of nearly 5,000 yuan in the end. There is an income of nearly 5,000 in two days in one weekend, which is really a good deal. Pansic seemed to have thought of what he would look like when he counted the prize money, and his saliva couldn't help but flow to the ground.

After the registration was over, Pan Xiqi immediately dialed Da Wei's phone.

"Hey, Da Wei, are you free next weekend? Buddy, please go to Shanghai for a two-day trip, high-speed rail accommodation and catering buddies are all inclusive. ”

"What? Did I hear me right? You kid also have such a generous day? Tell me, what the hell is going on? Da Wei immediately heard that Pan Xiqi had a ghost in his heart.

"Look at what you said. That's the case, when we travel to Shanghai, we will participate in a tennis match by the way. Pan Xiqi told Da Wei about the participation plan.

Da Wei is also a person who loves tennis, and when he heard that he could have the opportunity to participate in such an official competition, he immediately became interested.

"It's okay, you kid, it seems that the vision is different after the level is high. Okay, so I'll go with you next weekend if I'm fine. But you can say it, you'll cover all the costs. Da Wei smiled.

"No problem, I mean what I say. I'll send you the registration link right away, and you just do as I say. Pansiqi replied satisfied.

After a while, Da Wei told Pan Xiqi the result of the successful registration. Surprisingly, Da Wei also reported the men's singles. It turned out that after the CTA technical level self-test, Da Wei unexpectedly obtained the CTA level 4 assessment, which also met the participation standards of men's singles. With the mentality of going and going, he was like Pansiqi, who filled up two projects.

"Hehe, if we meet, I won't show mercy." Pan Xiqi said with a smirk.

"I don't need your mercy, if I really meet you, I will automatically give up the game. I don't have that time to play with you. "Da Wei is still very self-aware.

The two then discussed the specific itinerary plan for going to Shanghai and the places that need attention, then hung up the phone and began to prepare separately.

Pan Xiqi first booked a high-speed rail ticket between him and Dawei to Shanghai at 12306, and then booked the nearest express hotel to the competition venue on the accommodation website. Unfortunately, all the standard rooms were fully booked, and only the king bed room remained.

Thinking about the housing prices in Shanghai, Pan Xiqi hesitated for a long time, and in order to save money, he only booked a double room. Of course, he didn't tell Da Wei the bad news before leaving, otherwise with Da Wei's character, he would definitely not be killed and would not get on the high-speed train.

"Damn, it's just an amateur competition, it's so troublesome. I don't know how those professional athletes have the time to deal with this mess while competing at a high intensity. ”

After a busy night's work, I finally got everything I needed to prepare for next week's trip to Shanghai. Pansiqi lay down contentedly on the bed and began to imagine the various situations he might encounter.

"If you meet a retired professional player at that time, I guess you won't be able to hide your strength, so you have to use your all, right?"

"If I really defeat all the retired pros, can I really compete in the pros?"

Thinking about it, the soft bed made him gradually lose consciousness. That night, he had a wonderful dream. In his dreams, he seems to see himself in a Grand Slam battle with his idol cow, and finally he holds up the Grand Slam trophy engraved with the names of countless great champions and receives the cheers of fans all over the world。。。。。。
