Chapter 8 I'll give you a fritter

At the end of the game, the players from both sides shook hands. Pan Xiqi originally thought that Lao Wang would ignore him, but he didn't expect Lao Wang to take the initiative to come up and shake hands with him.

"Xiao Pan, you kid is so powerful, you are completely reborn from before. We old men are no match for you at all. ”

"Look at what you said, Brother Wang, I'm just a little younger, and I'm lucky." was praised by Lao Wang, Pan Xiqi was a little embarrassed.

"If you're going to call it a fluke, then none of us can play tennis. Depending on your level, no one will be your opponent in this tournament, so play hard. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang, I will continue to work hard." Seeing that Lao Wang didn't look polite, Pan Xiqi was also quite moved.

To say that Lao Wang lost by a big score, he is not sad at all, it is a lie. But for some reason, at the end of the game, as he became more aware of the gap between himself and Pansiqi, he felt less depressed.

In the face of the suppression of absolute power, people basically have no desire to resist. Facing Pan Xiqi, Lao Wang was like a child meeting a top master. Not to mention winning, as long as you finish the game well, it is already a success. For opponents who are too much stronger than themselves, people often don't feel sad about losing to them. The so-called competitiveness only exists between players who are about the same level as themselves. Just like if Lao Wang loses to the cow, not only will he not be sad, but he will also be proud.

Due to the disparity in the scores, the game was played in a short time, less than half an hour. At this time, another game is still in full swing. Those two players are not only at the same level, but also know the roots, and the fight is called a scorching. The spectators who watched Pansiqi's game switched to this side, so the sidelines suddenly became crowded.

These spectators not only watched the game, but also told the audience on the other side about the battle on Pancic's side with great excitement. Some natural gossip experts say that it is called a foaming mouth, blowing Pan Xiqi violently, and what he said is comparable to that of a professional master. In this way, Pansiqi's name was instantly known to all the contestants.

Of course, there are many players who didn't watch the game and didn't quite believe the rumors of those people. These people are often quite confident in their own level and come with confidence that they will win this competition. Suddenly, I heard that there was a master who was different from ordinary people, and I naturally felt a little repulsed in my heart.

Pan Xiqi didn't expect that he was already famous after just playing a game, and at the same time, he was hated by some people. However, he didn't care about this, and after the game, he didn't stay, went directly to the locker room of the stadium, rinsed himself and left the stadium in a hurry.

It turned out that he was in a hurry to go home to watch the televised broadcast of the St. Petersburg Tennis Grand Prix. The tournament is one of the top WTA tournaments, and China's Bei Bei will play the first round in the evening.

Beibei, Sister Na and the queen of heaven have created the most glorious golden flower era in Chinese women's tennis, bringing endless memories to veteran tennis fans like Pan Xiqi. With the retirement of Sister Na and the queen of heaven one after another, only Bei Bei was left to support and lead a group of immature Xiaohua to defend the honor of Chinese women's tennis in the women's tennis world. Therefore, for Beibei's game, Pansic will almost always tune in. One is to show support, and the other is to know how many more games I can watch.

Babe suffered a serious injury in 2016 and was away from the professional scene for a long time. This year, Beibei, who has returned from injury, has restarted his tennis journey and regained his previous form little by little. However, after being away from the court for too long, Beibei's start was not smooth, and she lost to the Canadian female player in the second round of the Australian Open and went out early. In tonight's game, Bei Bei fully exposed the disadvantage of lack of physical fitness, and lost the game with a score of 1:6 in the second set after losing in the first set and was eliminated by the Russian local player.

Although he had been prepared for this result, Panci still felt a little pity.

"Beibei, don't worry, I will fight with you in the Chinese tennis world in the future." Pansiqi turned his pity for Babe into pride, and he laughed again.

"Hey, although my tennis level has improved superbly, it is too frivolous to think about representing Chinese tennis now, which is not in line with my low-key personality."

The next day, the unit tennis match continued. After fifteen battles on the first day, half of the players were eliminated. Among the remaining fifteen people, there will be unit leaders who draw No. 1 to directly take a bye to advance to the quarterfinals, and the remaining seven pairs will compete for the remaining quarterfinals.

Naturally, everyone wants to be the lucky one with a bye, after all, the quarterfinals are already a good result. However, Pansiqi doesn't care at all, now he just wants to play more games and meet stronger opponents, and a bye is something he is not willing to do.

Even, he vaguely hoped that he would be able to draw that player. As soon as he arrived at the court, a good colleague came to him as soon as possible and told him a great news. It turned out that a colleague from another department, who was also a contestant in this competition, was extremely unconvinced after hearing that Pan Xiqi had swept Lao Wang. He even said that he should not let Pansiqi touch him, otherwise he would definitely give Pansiqi a duck egg.

Pansiqi was feeling that the game was a little boring, but after hearing this, he looked forward to it. His principle of being a man is that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others. Since someone openly declared war, he naturally didn't mind having fun with that person.

I don't know if it was God's arrangement, he was drawn to the No. 6 player, and the No. 13 player became the lucky one who directly qualified. And I learned from my colleague that the No. 6 player happened to be the guy who threatened to teach him a lesson. As the No. 1 player, his match became the first quarter-final match.

It seems that everyone has heard about the entanglement between these two players, and everyone has the mentality of watching a good show, and gathered on the sidelines early.

"I heard that this time Wang Xiao pointed out that he wanted to touch Pan Xiqi, saying that he wanted to let him know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, but I didn't expect to really meet together, it's really a narrow road."

"It's not, it's said that Pan Xiqi's performance was too good yesterday, stealing the limelight from Wang Xiao and making him very unhappy." The game hasn't started yet, and the gossip has already started to warm up.

Compared with Wang Xiao on the sidelines opposite, Pan Xiqi looked very calm. He was just quietly doing warm-up exercises and didn't care much about anything else. However, Wang Xiao was extremely excited, not only with words in his mouth, but also glanced at Pan Xiqi from time to time, his eyes were full of murderous energy.

"Pan Xiqi, this kid, usually doesn't hear his name in the unit, but I didn't expect that after the game yesterday, everyone discussed him. Hmph, it's just that he won an old king who is over half a hundred years old, what's the big deal. In this game, I just want to teach him a lesson, so that everyone knows what it means to be unworthy of the name. ”

"The game started, and Wang Xiao served in the first game." With the referee's command, the quarterfinals officially began.

Wang Xiao is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a very strong physique, and at first glance he is the kind of player with extremely strong strength, no wonder he looks down on the relatively thin Pan Xiqi. In his opinion, his super fast ball speed and heavy ball quality made Panci difficult to handle.

Sure enough, on the first serve, Wang Xiao sent a strong flat shot, which could almost reach a speed of 120-130 kilometers per hour. That's pretty good for the average amateur. Not only is it fast, but the power of the ball is also very strong, and in the eyes of the audience, it looks like a small cannonball smashed into Pansiqi.

However, in Pan Xiqi's eyes, this serve is a little faster than Lao Wang's, and it still belongs to the extremely slow range. He barely had to think much about this kind of serve, moving into place early with small broken steps, making a sideways forehand and returning a fast straight ball. The speed of this return ball is not slower than Wang Xiao's serve, and at the same time, the straight line is the shortest distance, and it lands and scores in an instant.

"Wow!" The first point was to see such a wonderful return and direct score, and the audience was very satisfied and responded with warm applause.

"This kid, why did you return the ball so quickly? Obviously, he was in place as soon as I sent it out, and there are really some evil sects. Wang Xiao was taken aback. However, just one ball did not affect his mood, after all, a set is not decided by one or two balls.

In the second point, in order to prevent Pan Xiqi from directly attacking his straight line, Wang Xiao sent an inside corner chase ball. The tennis ball was still extremely heavy, and it soon approached Pancic's body, seemingly squeezing out the space for his return ball.

Generally speaking, when encountering a chasing ball in the corner of the second zone, the player will choose to use a backhand to deal with the ball first. However, due to the limited handling space, it is common to return a mid-lane ball, and if the return ball cannot be as close to the baseline as possible, it is easy to attract the opponent's blow in the next shot. Wang Xiao just wanted to use this kind of serve to force Pan Xiqi to return the shallow ball in order to prepare for his next attack.

Seeing that Wang Xiao's plan was about to succeed, Pan Xi moved. He actually moved to the left, forcibly changed his backhand to a foreshoot, and at the same time aimed at the head of the racket with a reel, and unexpectedly returned a diagonal line, hitting Wang Xiao's serve on the first court. Its landing point is exactly the same as the effect of Pan Xiqi sneaking up on a straight line with a backshot. Pan Xiqi used the adjustment of his hitting position to completely erase the impact of Wang Xiao's change of serve.

Another return serve score, the audience cheered more enthusiastically, and Wang Xiao began to be a little irritable.

"It's a lot of trickery to break my serve in this way. The next thing is really difficult. ”

The powerful serve that he was proud of was continuously caught by Pan Xiqi, and Wang Xiao's confidence was hit to a certain extent. In the third minute, he slowed down the ball slightly, but applied strong topspin. I have to say that he still has a certain amount of technical and tactical literacy, and when he saw that the speed couldn't help Pansiqi, he switched to spinning. In particular, topspin is a considerable threat to players who are not tall enough. The tennis ball bounces extremely high after landing, and the point of impact often reaches above the player's shoulder. This position makes it difficult for players to exert their power, and the return ball will lose a lot of threat.

The topspin effect of this serve is very ideal, and after landing, it gains a strong upward momentum, and it will be soaring into the sky in no time. However, when it bounced to the height of Pan Xiaoqi's waist, Pan Xiqi suddenly appeared in front of the ball, a quick front shot, and killed the racket at Wang Xiao's feet, Wang Xiao did not react at all.

It turned out that Pansic actually hit the ball directly during the rising period of tennis, but instead compressed the return time and obtained excellent results. However, the ascent-rise period requires a high level of anticipation, and the player must accurately judge the line and rising speed of the ball in order to shoot at the most appropriate height. Of course, for Pansiqi now, this kind of hitting is not difficult at all.

Three types of serves, three returns to score directly. Wang Xiao, who vowed to teach Pan Xiqi a lesson, has now collapsed most of his confidence. Only then did he remember that he had heard that Lao Wang had not scored a point in his service game in the last game. He had a strong premonition that this scene was going to repeat itself on him. At this moment, thinking of his bold words before the game, he really had a feeling of slapping his face.

In the next game, Pan Xiqi was far less friendly to him than he was to Lao Wang. Since you want to teach me a lesson, you have to bear the corresponding consequences. Lao Wang can still play with Pan Xiqi to hold the ball, but when Wang Xiao arrives, he can't touch the ball at all.

In Wang Xiao's service game, Pan Xiqi scored directly on every ball. And his own serve, no matter how strong Wang Xiao's return serve, Pan Xiqi didn't give him a chance at all, and directly scored in the next shot.

In this way, he also scored 20 points in a row, and came to the familiar 5:0. After resisting the strong urge to send eggs, Pansic still stuck to the bottom line of being a man, and made eight service errors in a row to send his own service game. It's just that these eight mistakes, his performance is very outrageous, and some of the balls are almost sent to the bottom line, it seems that he doesn't even want to act. It was obvious that the audience who released the water also laughed and thought it was very interesting. Wang Xiao's side was blue and white for a while, which was really called torture.

With a mistake by Wang Xiao, Pan Xiqi successfully won the game with a score of 6:1 and advanced to the semifinals. With almost no rounds, a set lasted less than twenty minutes.

"Another fritter is sent out, I hope you enjoy it." Pansiqi silently blessed his opponent in his heart.
