Chapter 184: Pre-Race Training

August 28, the first day of the 2017 US Open. As is customary, the men's and women's singles lower half of the tournament starts first. Among the women's stars who appeared on the first day, led by the Spanish beauty Muguruza, who just won Wimbledon championship, local star Dawei, Danish sweetheart Woz and other masters will appear one by one. Among them, the most eye-catching is the battle between the top tennis beauty Sava who has just returned from injury and the No. 2 seed Halep.

Compared to the star-studded female players, the men's side is inferior. With tennis' top two biggest stars, Cow and Natto, both in the top half, in the top half, fans who want to see them on the pitch will have to wait patiently until the second matchday.

But for Chinese tennis fans, today is simply a tennis feast. On the first day of the U.S. Open, as many as four Chinese players will be on the stage. Among them, the playing venues of teenagers Zheng Saisai and Duan Yingying are arranged on Court 5 and Court 10, while veteran Peng Shuai will appear on Court 13. The last game is naturally the encounter between Pancici and South African star Anderson, which has attracted much attention from domestic media and fans.

Coincidentally, Pan Xiqi was also arranged on the No. 5 court, and it was with Zheng Sai before and after, and the two were next to each other. As a result, the Chinese fans who came to watch the game were very happy, and the No. 5 field naturally became their first choice to watch the game on the first day.

The media, who have been unable to contact Pansiqi for the past two days, will not let go of this opportunity. Although the second game of Pansiqi only started, in order to seize the favorable terrain, reporters from all walks of life occupied the best viewing position early, in order to interview Pansiqi as soon as possible after the game.

Although the second game would not start until just after noon local time in the United States, Panci arrived early. After all, this is the first Grand Slam tournament in my life, and it is impossible not to be excited.

Arriving at the National Tennis Association Park, Pansic was instantly drowned in the hustle and bustle of people. It can be said that compared with the qualifying round, the number of spectators on the first day of the main competition was several times larger. Many fans were also wearing tennis-themed fancy costumes and walking on the road with great excitement. It can be said that at this time, the US Open has become a grand party where tennis fans from all over the world gather.

Feeling the unusually strong tennis atmosphere, Pansic couldn't help but sigh that the United States deserves to be one of the most powerful countries in tennis, and from the perspective of this profound tennis culture, it is far from being easy to catch up with domestic competitions just by improving tennis hardware.

At this time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and there was still some time before his game. The reason why Panci arrived at the arena so early was that in addition to his excitement and couldn't sleep, he also wanted to find a training ground to do a few sets of off-ball training to warm up for the next game.

But after searching for a long time, Pansic found that almost all the outfield was occupied. After all, the first game will start at 11 o'clock, and at this time, the caddies and referees are already in place, making the final pre-game preparations on the field.

Almost all the tennis park had been explored, and finally, on a corner away from the main road, Pansic found an empty field. Pancich was overjoyed to see that the iron gate at the entrance of the stadium was not locked, and rushed in to occupy the stadium.

"Hey, in the tennis world, it's really hard to be a low-level player, and you have to do it yourself even to find a training venue. If those superstars are superstars, they probably have their own private teams to help them deal with these trivial matters. Putting down the tennis bag, Pansiqi sighed as he began to do leg press training.

Five sets of leg presses were followed by five sets of stretches, and Pansiqi meticulously did his body movements. It stands to reason that doing a little training with the ball before the game and finding the feel of the game is the most common pre-game preparation for players. But Pansiqi, who was alone, could not find someone to practice with before the game, so he had to train alone.

Originally, he pinned his hopes on Lu Yanxun, who also played on the first day, but unfortunately, Lu Yanxun's game was scheduled for the first game, and he was already waiting in the players' tunnel at this time. As a result, Pansiqi, who had no other companions, had to face the dilemma of going straight to the game without touching the ball.

After the warm-up, Pansic began to jog around the field again. As he ran, Pansiqi suddenly heard a loud commotion coming from the entrance of the court, mixed with some hysterical screams from women.

"Wow, what the hell is going on? How did it suddenly become so lively? Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the direction of the entrance, Pansic stopped and looked over there in a daze.

Gradually, the crowd at the entrance of the stadium became denser and denser, and not only that, but fans began to take up positions outside the fence around the stadium. Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, judging from the reactions of the people around him, Pansic felt that something big was about to happen here.

Sure enough, Pansiqi's judgment was correct. In the next minute, the crowd at the entrance of the stadium began to erupt into a tsunami-like shout, which was much louder than before. Faintly, Pansic seemed to hear someone shouting, "Roger, Roger." ”

Hearing this, Pansic's face suddenly changed, and his hands began to tremble violently. He pinched his thighs tightly with his fingers and said incredulously, "Wouldn't it? ”

As if to confirm Pansiqi's conjecture, it didn't take long for the crowd to surge, and several big men in black suits and sunglasses pulled the two people into the court. As soon as they entered the field, the big men immediately closed the iron gate of the stadium and lined up on both sides of the gate, looking around very vigilantly. At this time, the fans who were isolated from the gate were tightly clinging to the fence outside the iron gate, frantically filming something inside with their mobile phones.

Seeing that they had finally gotten rid of the siege of those crazy fans, the two who entered the stadium were obviously relieved and began to talk and laugh. At this point, they don't seem to realize that there is another person in this stadium.

Pan Xiqi, who saw the appearance of the two clearly, seemed to be frozen in place at this time, and his feet were completely unable to move. At the moment, his mind is in a blank state, and he has forgotten everything about the US Open and what tournaments.

Looking at the two people again, one of them is tall and thin, and should be more than 1.9 meters. The bare brain door was like a light bulb, glistening in the New York sun.

"Ljubicic, a former famous tennis player, was once a top serve for a while." Looking at that brain, Pansiqi's mind naturally flashed the other party's information.

Turning his gaze to another person, Pansizy couldn't help but feel a wave of vertigo. "Cow, I know you even if you turn to ashes!"
