When it comes to the main competition, the level of the players is naturally much higher than that of the qualifying round. Even though it's just a hope tournament and the players are ranked outside the top 300, it doesn't mean that victory is easy. At least for the Chinese men's players, the only two top 300 players at this stage are Wu Di and Zhang Ze. Others like Zhang Zhizhen and the like, according to the world rankings, can only participate in the Hope Tournament, and they can't even play the Challenge Tournament.

From this point of view, the level of the main draw of the Hope Tournament is comparable to that of the National Grand Prix of Tennis, except that the top two players are missing. Therefore, the Chinese men's players, let alone the champion of the challenge tournament, even the championship of the hope tournament is not much. This also fully illustrates how backward the level of Chinese men's tennis in the world is.

However, since Panci chose to participate in the Hope Race, he naturally went for the championship. For him now, a player of this level is completely out of any threat, and it is unlikely that he will even try to make things difficult for him.

After all, players outside the 300 ranks, except for those who have just started their careers, must have some technical or physical defects that prevent them from reaching a higher level.

Just like the opponent he met in the first round of the main event, Heizo Obuchi, is a male player from Japan, who is 21 years old this year and has been playing in the hope tournament for two or three years. Despite his hard work, Obuchi was unable to make a breakthrough in the Hope Tournament and was promoted to the Challenger.

At the time of his debut, Obuchi also had great expectations for his career, and always felt that he could make a difference in professional tennis. Gradually, however, he found that although he had been able to win a few races in the Hope Race, he was never able to get any better. After playing so many hopes, the best result is only the semi-finals.

As a result, he was unable to participate in high-level events, and he could only be trapped in the Hope Tournament, and the world ranking has not improved. In the past two or three years, although there is a subsidy from the Japanese government, the huge cost is still unbearable for the family. Obuchi, who knew he was in trouble, realized that if he still couldn't make it to the challenge this year, his career would probably end there.

With so much pressure on his back, in the face of Pansic, Xiao Yuan can be said to be determined to see death as if he were home, and he must win the game. However, not long after the start of the match, the Japanese player was desperate to find that the Chinese player was far from being able to resist him.

After scoring two points in the match, Pan Xiqi, who is good at observation, found that the Japanese athlete looked good at his body and strength, and moved his feet quickly, so it stands to reason that he should have some ability. But for some reason, no matter if each ball is not in place, the opponent has to forcibly choose a forehand to hit the ball, and the backhand is not used at all.

This made Pansiqi a little strange, and the next ball Pansiqi consciously sent it all to the opponent's backhand. I really don't know if I don't try, and I'm shocked when I try it. Pan Xiqi's return ball really hurt Xiao Yuan.

Pancic's return angle was so awkward that he couldn't convert his return position to a forehand no matter how much he ran, so he was forced to use a backhand in desperation. However, after seeing the opponent's backhand action clearly, Pansic's jaw almost didn't drop.

It turned out that compared to Obuchi's rather dangerous forehand shot, his backhand technique was so poor that it was a backhand. The action is ugly and irregular, not to mention, the ball that comes back is also soft and weak, and there is no threat at all.

In this way, Pan Xiqi understood why the other party had been using his forehand to death, and also knew the fundamental reason why Xiao Yuan's results could not make a breakthrough. For a professional tennis player, a major technique with such a serious lame leg is that no matter how strong your forehand is, it is not very competitive.

With a somewhat dangerous forehand, Obuchi may still be able to force his forehand to score with his fast pace in the first few rounds of the Hope Match. However, the players who reached the semi-finals generally have a relatively balanced forehand and backhand ability, at least there should be no problem with head-to-head. But looking at Xiao Yuan like this, it is estimated that the backhand will be difficult to even hold on.

In this way, once the opponent catches his backhand weakness, Obuchi loses more than half of the match in the first place, so it makes sense that he has not been able to make a breakthrough. And now Pansiqi is dealing with him like this.

Since you don't dare to use your backhand, I'll just hit you on the backhand. Next, the Japanese player was beaten by Pancic's accurate return ball. No matter how desperately he runs, he can't get rid of Pancic's backhand chase. Every time he wanted to use his forehand sideways, Pancich would always be the first to see his intentions and directly change the line to the other side, so that he could only return the ball with his backhand.

The rest of the game simply turned into a massacre, Pansic didn't have to do anything, just put the ball back to Obuchi's backhand position, and often waited for the opponent's initiative to make a mistake, and couldn't even hold on.

In this way, Pansiqi sent out two more duck eggs without much effort. For the Japanese players, he has an instinctive resistance in his heart, so naturally there is no mercy on his subordinates.

After the match, Obuchi Heizo, who suffered a heavy defeat, was emotionally at rock bottom, and this major loss was a fatal blow to him. From this moment on, he felt that he needed to seriously consider whether he should give up his tennis dreams and consider other possibilities in life.

For Pansiqi, he has only met such a serious technical lame player among amateurs, and he really hasn't encountered many players since turning professional. In his opinion, if the opponent does not make up for his backhand defects in this situation, there is really no need to struggle to support himself in professional tennis.

Winning the first round, Pansiqi's mission for the day is complete. Although he didn't exert much effort, he still sweated all over his body. If he hadn't waited for Lin Teng to go back to the hotel together, he wouldn't have been able to sneak back and take a cold shower at this time.

Pan Xiqi, who was in a relaxed mood, carried the ball bag and hummed a little song all the way to find Lin Teng. At this moment, he did not realize that by winning the first round of the main draw of the Hope Tournament and advancing to the round of 16, he had already earned his first professional tennis point in his life, and he also had his own world ranking.

In other words, even if Pan Xiqi stops in the second round, in the latest men's tennis world rankings next week, Pan Xiqi's name will be on the list for the first time, becoming another member of the Chinese men's team.

Today also coincides with the opening day of the French Open, which is the world's most attention, and tennis fans around the world are drawn to the beautiful clay court of Roland Garros. The world's top players, except for the strategic retirement of the cows, are all gathered in Paris to launch their own attack on the Musketeers Cup.

For the tennis world, the first time a player gets a point is compared to a Grand Slam match, it is an underground and a sky, and there is no comparison at all. However, many years later, when the world began to look back on Pancizi's dreamy career, they defined this day as a major historical moment that changed the history of tennis and will always be remembered by tennis fans around the world!
