Chapter 138: Preparing for the Challenge

"Lin Teng, what's wrong with him?" At this time, hearing Lin Teng's name, Pan Xiqi felt a little surprised.

"He's as you think. In order to resume physical training, I didn't go home at all yesterday, and I went back to the team to report directly after leaving the airport. At this point, it is estimated that he has already started training. Coach Zheng said appreciatively.

"This kid is really still so hardworking." Pansic laughed.

"Not really. And he also said yesterday that after coming back from this Vietnam competition, the distance between him and you is getting bigger and bigger, and if he doesn't continue to train hard, he will never be able to catch up with you in the future. Coach Zheng continued.

"Hehe, he's still young, and good days are still long." Pansiqi replied.

For Lin Teng's little brother, Pan Xiqi has completely regarded him as his closest person in the tennis world. It's a bit like a friend, and it's a bit like a junior. It is estimated that in Lin Teng's heart, Pan Xiqi is more like a teacher and a friend.

Since the amateur competition, through competing with Pansiqi, although there is also competition between the two, Lin Teng has learned a lot of useful things from Pansiqi, and through Pansiqi he has also confirmed his future career goals.

In his heart, with Pansiqi's ability, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a generation of famous players, and it is not impossible to even dominate the tennis world. Lin Teng, who has long regarded Pan Xiqi as his biggest idol, naturally hopes to catch up with Pan Xiqi's progress as much as possible through his own efforts.

Shaking his head with a smile, Pan Xiqi went to the training ground with Coach Zheng and began to arrange the training plan for the next period of time.

With the improvement of Pan Xiqi's ranking, the resources of the Beijing team are constantly tilting towards him. The Beijing team has already equipped Pan Xiqi with a top physical security team in China, but this time it went one step further and actually brought the foreign physical trainer of the national team over.

It can be said that the Beijing team has made a bloody investment this time. You must know that the relationship between Pan Xiqi and Coach Jiang of the national team is not very good, and it stands to reason that the coaches of the national team will not be invited anyway.

But that foreign coach was also quite famous in the international tennis world before, and he can be regarded as the best physical trainer in China today. Therefore, in order to let Pan Xiqi enjoy the best service, the Beijing team gave a lot of remuneration, and at the same time, he also took the favor of Director Xu before inviting him.

Of course, on the surface, it is natural that he can't say that he is here to do physical training for Pan Xiqi, but that he is here to exchange guidance for the Beijing team. This also relies on the convenience of the Beijing team and the national team in the same place, otherwise it is really difficult to do it if the distance is far away.

Not to mention, foreign physical trainers really have their own set of body kinesiology and injuries. Not long after coming into contact with Pansich, he brought many new theories to Pansiqi that he had not heard of or realized before.

It was from him that Pancicic was first exposed to the most advanced physical training theory in the tennis world. In addition to this, the foreign strength and conditioning coach also corrected some of the mistakes made in Pansiqi's previous training, and also taught him many tips to prevent injuries from occurring.

In just one or two weeks, Pansic felt that his physical ability seemed to have improved significantly, which shows how important high-level coaches are to athletes. I learned from a foreign physical trainer that he is not the best abroad. The best guys are all recruited by the best players in the world and are following them around.

The best physical trainers are a powerful guarantee of an athlete's health and can take your physical abilities to another level. Of course, correspondingly, the remuneration offered by these people is also surprisingly expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

In this way, Pansiqi received physical training in the Beijing team during the day, and returned home at night to let the alien dog repair his body. It didn't take long for Pansiqi's physical strength to reach a whole new level. Pansiqi, who was quite satisfied with the results of his training, did not relax in the slightest, and he wanted to take advantage of this precious time to build up as much physical reserve as possible for himself.

It turned out that not long after Pan Xiqi resumed training, Coach Zheng made a plan for him to participate in the competition. Because Pan Xiqi's world ranking has come to 243, he even surpassed Wu Di. As a result, Pansiqi no longer needs to participate in the Hope Tournament and has earned a ticket to the Challenge Qualifiers.

For his part, Pansiqi certainly hopes to be able to play in a Grand Slam tournament as soon as possible. However, with his current ranking, he is only on the verge of Grand Slam qualification, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to participate.

In early August, Chengdu will host a high-level challenge with a total prize fund of $125,000 and 125 world points for the winner. If these points are added, Panci will be able to move up to around 160 according to the current rankings, and a qualifier for the US Open will be a sure thing.

This year's U.S. Open kicks off on August 28, and the month leading up to the U.S. Open will feature a number of U.S. Open series for a warm-up season. It stands to reason that Pansiqi will have a better warm-up effect when he participates in these competitions, but with Pansiqi's current ranking, he has no chance to participate at all, and he can't even report the qualifiers.

After the Chengdu Challenger is over, it will be the deadline for registration for the US Open. Therefore, even if Panci raises his ranking to more than 100 at that time, he will not have time to participate in the US Open series, and can only register directly for the US Open.

This means that if Panci can win the Chengdu Challenger without any problems, the first ATP-level tournament he will play on the professional level will be the US Open, one of the four Grand Slams!

For this participation plan, Coach Zheng thinks it is too crazy. That's because there's hardly a single athlete who has signed up for a Grand Slam without having played in any of the tournaments. Most players choose to accumulate their experience on the tour in order to make the most of themselves on the giant stage of the Grand Slam.

However, Pansiqi was very determined in his heart, and in his opinion, since he had received the favor of God, he was destined to be on the biggest tennis stage. And what other tournament has such a fatal attraction for him as the four Grand Slams?

As for Lin Teng, he will not be able to compete with Pansiqi this time. Although Lin Teng Vietnam also performed very well, the ranking of more than 400 still did not allow him to participate in the challenge, and he could only continue to accumulate points in the hope tournament.

For Pansiqi, success in the first year of his career at the Grand Slam stage depends entirely on the Chengdu Challenger in early August. It can be said that the champion of the Chengdu Challenge, he Pan Xiqi is going to decide!
