Losing the first set means that Lu Yanxun has lost the bet with Zheng Jie. However, this was secondary, as in the next second set, Lu found himself with little to fight back.

In the second set, it was Lu Yanxun's turn to serve first, and from the first game, Panci launched a fierce attack on his serve, which was not at all as gentle as the first set. Lu Yanxun, who felt great pressure at the beginning, was broken by Pan Xiqi after an unstable foothold.

At this time, Lu Yanxun, the confidence and pleasure accumulated in the previous rounds of sweeping and promotion have disappeared. In the face of Pansiqi's aggressiveness, he felt as if he was back to the days when he was knocked out of the first round of the tour some time ago.

This is the case in tennis, once the momentum is weakened, the player's technical and tactical performance will also be affected. At this time, Lu Yanxun, whose emotions had reached the bottom, couldn't even play the state of the first set. In the final battle with Pansiqi, it can be said that he has taken the lead in showing defeat.

"Although I had a hunch that I would lose, I didn't expect this kid to be much stronger than I thought. Hey, I really don't know how the Taiwanese media will laugh at me after losing. Lu Yanxun on the field had no intention of fighting, and began to anticipate the situation he would face after the game.

Sensing the other party's strategic abandonment, Pansic also completely relaxed. After all, with Serra's desperate rebuttal in the last game, he still has to take precautions. The rest of the game became almost routine. Although the scene was a lot quieter, the audience on the sidelines became more and more excited.

Because during the break, the DJs of the event had already begun to warm up for the next award ceremony. He stressed over and over again on the radio that if Pan Xiqi wins the competition, he will become the first Chinese player to win the 125k Challenge. This will also be the highest level of championship won by a Chinese men's player.

The emotions of the audience were obviously mobilized for the possibility of witnessing the occurrence of history, and every time Panci scored, he would also respond with the most enthusiastic cheers. Although only two or three hundred spectators came to the finals, these spectators, under the leadership of DJ, made the atmosphere quite enthusiastic.

Finally, with a goodbye ace from Pancic, the score of the second set was fixed at 6:2. It turned out that Pan Xiqi was still thinking about whether to give eggs to win the championship, but remembered that he was about to partner with Lu Yanxun in doubles at the US Open, and in order to take care of the other party's emotions, he still put two games of water in a small way.

For this result, Lu Yanxun is also grateful. Because if he really swallows eggs, he is a mainland player again, and with the mean character of the Taiwanese media, he may laugh at him in the headline of the report.

At the end of the game, players from both sides came to the net to shake hands. Holding Pan Xiqi's hand, Lu Yanxun said with a wry smile: "You kid, you caused me to lose the bet with Zheng Jie, in the doubles match of the US Open, you have to compensate me well." ”

Hearing this little complaint, Pan Xiqi was slightly embarrassed, and then responded domineeringly: "Don't worry." The U.S. Open will definitely bring you unexpected surprises. ”

"Okay, I'm sure you have the strength. Now, go and enjoy the championship glory you deserve. Lu Yanxun gently patted Pan Xiqi on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.

Lu Yanxun's words after the game made Pansiqi's favorability of him rise a lot. Because from Lu Yanxun's words, he could feel that the other party was sincerely happy for him. In this way, Pan Xiqi is more satisfied with his promise to Lu Yanxun's doubles invitation.

After shaking hands with Lu Yanxun, Pan Xiqi stepped forward to shake hands with the referee. He then walked to the sidelines, waving his hands to express his gratitude to the fans. Through this game, hundreds of fans at the scene have been deeply impressed by Pansiqi and have become his loyal fans. Under the leadership of DJ, all the audience, including Zheng Jie, shouted Pan Xiqi's name rhythmically.

Hearing his name ringing in so many mouths at the same time, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but be a little moved, and his eyes were slightly red. Although he has won a championship in Vietnam, it is a foreign country after all, and it can make people feel happier than winning the championship at home.

Looking at the smiling faces full of joy and adoration, Pansiqi felt for the first time that he had made the right choice. Achieving good results on the tennis court is not only a fulfillment of self-achievement, but also brings joy to countless fans who support you.

The happiness he felt after winning the Chengdu Challenger became a fond memory of Pansiqi's life, and it also led to the fact that he never missed a single tennis tournament in China in the following long career.

At the award ceremony, Zheng Jie, as the guest of honor, presented trophies and bonuses to the two contestants. In the conversation with her old friend Lu Yanxun, Zheng Jie didn't know what to say, which made Lu Yanxun's face red and white. And when it came to presenting the award to Pan Xiqi, the smug smile on Zheng Jie's face still couldn't be hidden.

"Hehe, Xiao Pan, it's thanks to you this time that Lu Yanxun ate such a big deflated. I believe that this time it was planted in my hands, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life. Although you are competing to win the championship, I owe you a favor this time, and if you have any difficulties in the future, please ask me. Zheng Jie said happily.

Pan Xiqi didn't know what Zheng Jie said to Lu Yanxun, which caused Lu Yanxun to be so depressed. But looking at Zheng Jie's smug appearance, he should be confused. Holding back the schadenfreude in his heart, Pan Xiqi happily accepted Zheng Jie's promise.

In addition to the praise of the audience and Zheng Jie's favor, Pan Xiqi's trip to Chengdu also has a major gain, that is, a championship check of up to 20,000 US dollars. The prize money for this tournament was more than the previous six Vietnam races combined, and Pansiqi made a small fortune.

Tossing the trophy aside, looking at the check in his hand with loving eyes, Pansic's mouth was almost grinning at the back of his head. Seeing Pan Xiqi's performance as a wealth fan, Lu Yanxun next to him couldn't help but wonder if Pan Xiqi wouldn't play tennis for money at all.

In addition to the above gains, Pansiqi's biggest purpose of participating in the Chengdu Challenge this time has also been achieved. In the new edition of the world rankings next Monday, Panci will have 335 points and climb to 163rd place in the world rankings with the 125 points he has earned from the tournament's championship points.

Arguably, such a ranking is enough to ensure that he qualifies for the US Open Qualifiers in two weeks' time. And the ranking of 163 is infinitely close to the highest ranking of 143 Chinese men's players created by Zhang Ze.
