Chapter 217: Genius and Liar

Pansiqi – Genius or Liar? 》

In the second round of the men's singles at the US Open in the early hours of last night, Chinese player Pan Xiqi broke out another upset. In a match against former Australian Open runner-up and world highest-ranked eighth ranked Cypriot player Baghdatis, Panci got off to a bad start, dropping three games in a row. However, after a short break, the situation changed and Panci completely took over the rest of the game.

After the third game, the former Australian Open runner-up did not win a single game in the following matches. With a terrifying performance of 18 games in a row, Pansiqi easily reversed his opponent 3-0 and made history by entering the third round of the US Open.

Judging from the course of the game, Pansiqi performed almost perfectly at both offensive and defensive ends. Baghdatis was under pressure from Panci and completely lost the rhythm of the match, so much so that he gave up the match early in the second half of the second set. After the match, the Cypriot player directly refused to be interviewed by the media, which shows that the fiasco has caused a lot of psychological damage to him.

Due to Pan Xiqi's outrageous remarks, from the first day of this year's US Open, this tennis player, who has only been in the professional tennis world for half a year, has quickly become the object of attention of all Chinese fans, and his popularity even exceeds that of Peng Shuai, Zhang Shuai and other long-established celebrities. The public has had different reactions to Pansiqi's victory rhetoric, and discussions about this matter are constantly fermenting.

Grand Slam champion, looking at the entire Asian tennis world, both men and women, only Sister Na, who has retired, has ever done it. Considering the super monopoly of the giants of men's tennis for more than a decade in the Grand Slam, it is tantamount to a fantasy for a Chinese male player to win the championship. Even if Pansiqi's first two rounds were impeccable, if he wants to make it to the end, the chances of it being achieved are close to zero.

There are often only two possibilities for doing it knowing that it cannot be done, either a genius or a liar. According to the author's analysis, Panci's controversial post-match interview is most likely just a purposeful hype.

You must know that before this US Open, the attention of Chinese men's tennis was almost zero, and Chinese men's tennis players were often just foils for women's tennis players with brilliant achievements. Therefore, with the help of the east wind of the US Open, he became famous in one fell swoop, which is obviously irresistible temptation for Pan Xiqi.

Now, one way or another, Pansiqi has achieved his goal. In just two matches, he went from an obscure men's tennis player to a household name. While the tennis star needs to be put in quotation marks, it was clearly worth it for Pansizi.

Next, Pancici is likely to face the fourth seed, German phenom Zverev Jr., whose dark horse path is coming to an end. The men's top 32 is already a breakthrough achievement that can be written into the history of Chinese tennis, but in the face of this breakthrough, Pan Xiqi's unscrupulous behavior to promote himself is more worthy of our thought. If a professional athlete doesn't think about how to improve his performance, but is full of thoughts about becoming famous and profiting, then Chinese men's tennis will never see any hope.

In all fairness, with Pansiqi's strength, he definitely has the potential to enter the top 50 in the world. For the Chinese men's tennis team that is struggling to enter the world's top 100, Pan Xiqi is a genius in the absolute sense. However, now, for the sake of fame and fortune, this genius has become a grandstanding liar, which is the misfortune of Chinese tennis and the misfortune of Chinese fans.

。。。。。。。。

"What a bullshit article, actually saying that my son is a liar, I'm going to complain about them!" crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball, and Pan's father was so angry that his face was about to turn red.

Pan's mother, who was familiar with Pan's father's temperament, knew that her wife was angry, so she hurriedly came over and stroked his chest with her hand, and said softly: "Don't look at you, you want to watch, these reporters, in order to attract attention, can't write anything." Our own son, you just need to know who he is. ”

"No, they are malicious slander, I have to reason with them! Now that my son is playing abroad, I can't deal with them, so I can only rely on us to get justice for him. Father Pan was still angry, and was about to walk out the door as he spoke.

"Oops, who are you going to go out to now? Do you know their address? Besides, these reporters are worried that they can't find us now, and if you go, won't you send them to your door? I think you'd better stay at home obediently, don't make trouble for your son. Pan's mother hurriedly grabbed him.

When his wife said this, it calmed down Lao Pan a lot. Now is an extraordinary time, and public opinion is extremely unfavorable to my son. If I am caught by the media again at this time, I am afraid that it will be worse for my son. Aiko was so anxious that he thought that he couldn't make trouble for Panxiqi, so he had to swallow this breath secretly and stop paying attention to the reporters who were talking nonsense.

At this time, Pansic, who was in New York, if he knew that his parents were so angry because of the reports about him, he probably wouldn't even play the game, and he would have to rush back to China to settle accounts with those reporters. In order not to worry their son, during this time, his parents did not mention half of the matter to Pansiqi, but kept comforting their son and asked him not to be affected by the outside world.

After the match against Baghdatis, Panci did not give the Chinese media in the stadium any chance, and after signing the names of the enthusiastic fans, he slipped away directly from the players' tunnel with his backpack. Various media reporters led by Qian Xiaojia didn't expect Pan Xiqi to really do what he said, and his movements were a step slower, and he could only watch Pan Xiqi disappear into the back of the player's tunnel and secretly jump to his feet.

Since Pansiqi was not blocked in the arena, let's continue to go to his residence and squat, anyway, Pansiqi has to go home and sleep. The reporters who changed their strategy evacuated from the stadium in a swarm as if they had agreed in advance, and went straight to Pansiqi's residence.

However, Panci did not return to his residence directly as the reporter expected, but quietly came to the No. 8 competition venue after dressing up in the locker room. Coincidentally, Wang Yan's first-round match and Lu Yanxun's second-round match were both scheduled in Field 8, and they were the last two games of the day.

Needless to say, since the farewell in Guangzhou, Pan Xiqi has been thinking about her, but because the other party has to prepare for the first round of the game, she has not dared to take the initiative to contact. Now that he is waiting for Wang Yan to play, Pan Xiqi naturally has to go to cheer.

And Lu Yanxun, as Pansiqi's men's doubles partner and roommate at this year's US Open, it is not appropriate not to watch the game live, and Pansiqi still has a big matter to discuss with Lu Yanxun after the match. Since the two were arranged by the organizing committee to compete in a venue, Pan Xiqi was naturally happy.
