(The year is finally over, and there is basically no time to update normally during the entire New Year, so I'm really sorry for everyone.) Now that life is back on track, daily updates should be guaranteed, and I hope you will continue to chase it. Eunuch, that will never be! ）

This is the third Hope Tournament qualification he has participated in. The first two times he played to the last ** in the qualifying round, he was only one step away from the main event. So now, like Pansiqi, he hasn't scored any world points yet.

This time, he thought he was lucky to draw a rookie like Pansiqi, and the Indian player did not plan to miss this opportunity again. He decided to let this uncle take a good look at the ticket, professional players are not so easy to be.

In less than 40 minutes, two consecutive 6:0, in the stunned eyes of the Vietnamese referee, Pan Xiqi successfully won the game. Throughout the match, the referee couldn't even remember if the Indian had scored too much. If it does, it is estimated that there will be no more than one index.

The Hope Tournament itself is already the lowest level of professional tennis competition, and the qualifying tournament of the Hope Tournament is even more at the bottom. For Pansiqi, this kind of game is simply a waste of time.

You must know that at the National Grand Prix, he played Wu Di, who was ranked more than 200 in the world, and he was chopping melons and vegetables, not to mention that he was a child with a world ranking at all. Poor Indian young player, the dream of starting a career was once again ruthlessly broken.

Although the game was easy, Pansiqi was still soaked all over the court after he got off the court. It's not that his opponent made him exert much effort, but the weather in Vietnam was just too hot. Although it is only the end of May, the heat is already close to the hottest time of midsummer in China.

Feeling the sun's scorching skin, Pansiqi quickly took a towel and put it on his head, while also sprinkling some water on his face. After all, it's just a hope tournament, and it's impossible to expect a service like handing out water and umbrellas to a caddie on the tour.

Although the match is complete, Panci can't leave the field yet, because in an hour, he will continue to compete in the second round of qualifying. Thinking that he would have to play in Vietnam for at least six weeks, Pansiqi's brows were furrowed.

"Damn, it's all because our men's tennis is too weak. If you are like the United States, you will be given a wild card to a Grand Slam or Masters, and once you win the championship, you will have to earn enough points at once. When the time comes, if you can't participate in any competition, you still need to suffer like this! "Pansiqi actually complained about Chinese tennis on the court in Vietnam.

With nothing to do for an hour, Pansichy, who was extremely bored, wandered to Lin Teng's arena. is the same as the situation in Pan Xiqi, Lin Teng's side and the opponent's referee are only three people. The sound of batting kept coming from the empty arena, and it seemed that the game was not over yet.

When he got to the sidelines, Pansic couldn't help but be happy. It turned out that Lin Teng's opponent was actually an uncle. This uncle, unlike him, can be described as genuine, and he must be in his forties.

"Mom, this is the qualifying round of the Hope Tournament, and any demon can really participate." With a sigh in his heart, Pansiqi began to watch the game.

After watching it for a while, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but admire the European and American uncle a little. Don't look at other people's figures, they are a little blessed, but their movement strength is really not weak, and the basic skills of the bottom line are also very solid, and I feel that I still have a certain professional foundation.

Because of this, although Lin Teng was very dominant in the scene, he did not kill his opponent in seconds like Pan Xiqi chopping melons and vegetables. After about 20 minutes, as the uncle's physical strength gradually couldn't keep up, the game completely lost its suspense. Lin Teng also won his first victory with two 6:2.

After the game, Lin Teng and his opponent chatted in the center of the court. Due to Lin Teng's many years of experience in the United States, English communication is not a problem for him at all. After a while, the two parties who were chatting happily hugged and said goodbye in a friendly way.

"I said you kid, what are you talking about, I feel like you're chatting quite happily." Pan Xiqi smiled and handed Lin Teng water.

"Hey, it's nothing, I just asked about the uncle. He was an American, and he was forty-five years old now. When I was a teenager, I also used to play tennis professionally, and I was going to become a professional player. But then the family business needed him to inherit, so he gave up his dream. Lin Teng smiled and talked about what he had learned.

"Yo, the relationship is still a rich second generation. Why do you want to play professionally again? Pansy was in the mood to get there.

"It's not a good business management, the money is enough, there is nothing to pursue in life, I just want to complete the original dream. He has been participating in the Hope Race for more than a year at his own expense, and countries around the world have signed up to travel around the world while racing. ”

"Wow, this is the real life! It's really admirable. Pansiqi was in awe of the uncle.

"This is the hope that the tournament can meet such a player, and when it comes to the challenge, everyone is desperate to win the competition, and there will be so many ghosts, snakes, and gods. It can only be said that only when you reach the challenge tournament can you really gain a foothold in the professional tennis world. Lin Teng replied.

The two chatted for a while, and then they each rushed to the venue for the next round.

In the next two qualifying rounds, Panci will still face young players who are still at the beginning of their careers. Although the level is better than that of Indian players, in Pansiqi's opinion, it is not much different from amateur players.

Another two 6:0, Pansic sent 6 duck eggs in a row on this day, and won three games in a row to successfully advance to the main match of the hope tournament.

Although Lin Teng is not as exaggerated as Pan Xiqi, he is also an excellent student of a well-known online school, and this kind of qualifying competition is not difficult for him. also won six sets in a row, and Lin Teng also qualified for the main event.

For Pansiqi, it wasn't his intention to give away so many duck eggs. But the gap in the opponent's strength is too big, and if you deliberately send points, it seems a little too disrespectful to the other party. Therefore, in this case, he can't care about losing his character.

In this way, under the scorching sun of Vietnam, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng successfully passed the test of the qualifying round and became the lucky ones who finally got eight seats in the main competition.

Riding the bus back to the hotel, as soon as they entered the house, the two rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower. After this day's exposure, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng both felt that the other party seemed to be a little darker. I can't imagine what they'll be like six weeks later.

Lying in bed, Pansic never missed his home in Beijing as much as he did now. Since becoming a professional player, he has always enjoyed the meticulous care of the Beijing team. And this trip to Vietnam allowed him to truly experience the hardships of a low-level professional tennis player.
