Chapter 67: The First Match of Career

The next day, the highest tennis tournament in China this year, the National Tennis Grand Prix, officially started!

This competition can be said to be a master, and almost all the golden flowers of the women's Chinese brand are all there. Among them, Peng Fatpang and Zhang Shuai are the most eye-catching. As the leaders of Jinhua at this stage, these two players naturally have the highest call to win the championship.

Although the men's players are much less famous, there are also many domestic masters. After all, for male players, it is basically impossible to produce results in international competitions, so winning the domestic championship is the most important task this year. Wu Di and Zhang Ze, who have long occupied the top two in the domestic men's tennis world and won the past few championships and runners-up, are the top two seeds in the upper and lower halves of the draw table respectively.

In addition to these two kings, Pan Xiqi of the Beijing team has emerged before the game and has become one of the focuses of everyone's attention. But everyone's expectation of Pansiqi is to wait to see his jokes to confirm the truth of the report.

On the first day of the tournament, the first round of the men's and women's singles will be held. There are 64 players in the men's and women's singles competitions, and the competition needs to be played for six consecutive days to determine the final champion.

Pancic's game was played on the outer Ground 10, far from the center of the arena, and there were fewer than 100 spectator seats. Originally, the first round match between Pan Xiqi and Qin Fen should have received almost no attention, but I didn't expect that because of the report before the game, it became the biggest focus of the first round of the game

Before the game began, the audience from nowhere had already filled the seats. The sports media did not give in to each other, and set up guns and cannons on the edge of the venue early, ready to obtain first-hand video materials. Looking at that formation, I'm afraid that only the players with the biggest names can compare.

In the player tunnel, Qin Fen was unscrupulously looking up and down Pan Xiqi, who was standing in front of him waiting to play. In tennis, the lower-ranked player is the first to play, while the higher player follows. So when you watch a tennis match, whoever comes out of the tunnel first, you can tell that he is the lower ranked side of the match, and he should be a little worse than the opponent.

Pan Xiqi had never participated in a professional competition before, so naturally he didn't have any ranking, so it was natural for him to appear before Qin Fen. Although he was a little surprised by Pan Xiqi's sturdy figure, seeing Pan Xiqi's appearance, Qin Fen believed in that report a little more.

"Looks like he's in his early thirties, at least five or six years older than me. Hehe, this Pansiqi, his heart is really big. It's been rumored like that outside, how can you still have the face to participate in the competition. If it had been me, I would have chosen to withdraw from the competition a long time ago. ”

"But also, if he withdraws, won't there be no chance for me to leak my face today? In this way, I have to thank him for giving me a chance to become a hero in the fight against counterfeiting. Looking at Pan Xiqi's back, Qin Fen thought about it, and there was a smirk on his face from time to time.

At this time, Pansic was carrying a tennis bag, and he didn't know what was going on behind his back. He just felt that time was passing so slowly, and he waited for a long time before the game started.

Just as Pansiqi was about to get impatient, a staff member approached and motioned for them to follow. The staff then took them out of the players' tunnel and onto the pitch.

As soon as Pansiqi showed his face, the originally noisy court instantly fell silent. A few seconds later, a wave of noise several times greater than the previous noise exploded. Almost everyone's gaze moved with Pan Xiqi, while his opponent, Qin Fen, was completely selectively ignored.

"Damn, grandstanding. You won't be able to cry for a while. Feeling that he was being ignored, Qin Fen actually ate flying vinegar, and even wanted to clean up Pan Xiqi in his heart.

After seeing Pansiqi's appearance clearly, the audience on the sidelines began to comment unscrupulously, mixed with many harsh ridicules.

"Yo, this is the news actor. It looks really young, I guess what the reporter said is true! One of the audience members said to his companion with a smile.

"Hmph, I really don't know if the leaders of the Beijing team are caught in the door, and you can't get such an outrageous one when looking for a relation. If they are beaten on the field for a while, they can't find the north, but they will lose the people of their Beijing team. His companion replied dismissively.

"Isn't it, I really feel worthless for the players of the Beijing team who have been squeezed out of the main position. This kind of person is the main force, it is simply a naked robbery. "It seems that most viewers have a preconceived choice to believe the content of that report.

Watching Pan Xiqi enter, Ding Ye's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. Originally, he was still a little worried that Pansic would flee and not give the public a chance to learn the truth. But now it seems that as long as the game ends smoothly, his identity as the shady digger of the Beijing team can be regarded as decided.

On the other side, the faces of Director Xiao and Coach Zheng were much more ugly. As the managers of the team, they are under no less pressure than Panci when they are named in the report. So Pansiqi's game, they were more nervous than anyone else.

Although they have great confidence in Pan Xiqi's strength in their hearts, they think that this is the first game of Pan Xiqi's career after all, if something happens at that time, they really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Xiao Pan, this time our net worth and life are all on you!" Director Xiao prayed silently.

Lin Teng's match was only played in the afternoon, and it stands to reason that he was unlucky enough to draw the seeded players in the first round, and it was time for the final pre-match preparations. But because I couldn't rest assured, I still came to the arena to watch the game.

As one of the few people who had directly fought with Pan Xiqi, Lin Teng knew Pan Xiqi's terrifying strength best. In his opinion, no one in this tournament can be a match for Pansiqi. Therefore, he has no doubts about the result of this match.

But Lin Teng was still worried that the damn report would affect Panxiqi's state of mind, which would lead to an accident. Only by watching the game in person on the pitch can he calm his nervousness a little.

Just when countless people were nervous about the upcoming game, Pansic, as the person concerned, did not think about this aspect at all. Standing on the field at this time, his mind was full of other things.

"Damn, it's really disappointing that the first game of Lao Tzu's career, such a meaningful moment, actually arranged such a small venue for me." If the audience could hear Pansich's inner words at this moment, it is estimated that most of them would faint.

It turned out that when he knew that he had become the focus of news reports, Pan Xiqi was not only not angry, but had some joy in his heart. He thought that in this way, he would definitely receive enough attention in his next games, and if he didn't do well, he would be directly placed on the center court.

Tennis matches can be televised almost exclusively on a few center courts, so as a long-time fan for more than a decade, Pansic's impression of the professional tennis court is almost the same as that of the center court. In his opinion, only the games played in the center court are meaningful enough games.

Therefore, for the first game of his career, he naturally wants to play on Centre Court. Originally, he hoped that he would be able to draw the first few seeds and use the momentum of others to achieve his goal, but he was obviously not lucky. Just as he was about to give up, he didn't expect such a thing as Ding Ye to rekindle his hope. He originally thought that the organizing committee might want to take advantage of the heat to improve himself on the center court. But now it seems that all this is just wishful thinking.

Shaking his head helplessly, Pansiqi went to the players' rest area, put the tennis bag on the ground, and began to prepare for the game. The speaker has no intention of listening, Pan Xiqi subconsciously shook his head, but in the eyes of many people, it was interpreted as a manifestation of weakness. The crowd waiting to see Pansiczy's joke became even more excited, eager for the game to start immediately.

Just as the players on both sides were about to practice before the game, there was a commotion in the first row of spectators because of the appearance of a person. Passing by, everyone gave way to him, until he sat in the middle with the best view, and everyone guessed that everyone gradually calmed down.

Seeing this person appear, Director Xu's face instantly darkened. He turned his head to Coach Zheng, who also had a bad face, and said, "Even he is here, it seems that the influence of that report is really not small." If something happens to Xiao Pan this time, you and I won't have a good life. ”

Coach Zheng replied in a deep voice: "Isn't it, there are really not many games that can be watched by Director Liu of the Tennis Center in person now, that is, those golden flowers can have this kind of treatment after participating in the Grand Slam or the quarterfinals of the National Games." His presence is not necessarily a good thing for us. ”

It turned out that this person was Director Liu, who had been the new director of the China Tennis Sports Management Center for less than a year, and it could be said that Director Xiao was the direct boss. As the leader of domestic tennis, he is naturally well-known to everyone, so he can attract a commotion in the audience.

It is said that the new official has three fires, and since Director Liu arrived at the tennis center, he has not achieved any too dazzling political achievements, and the results of Chinese tennis are completely incomparable with the era of Sister Na and the queen of heaven. Therefore, Director Liu has always been a little unhappy in his heart, and wants to highlight a few highlights in the next work.

This time, he came to check the form of those star players, so as to look forward to the possible results of this year's Grand Slam. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Shenzhen, I saw the report about the Beijing tennis team before the game started.

Director Liu wanted to go to the Beijing team to investigate the matter immediately after he was furious, but suddenly it occurred to him that in the current atmosphere of anti-corruption and clean government, if he could find out the corruption problem in the local team, it would be one of his political achievements.

After calming down, Director Liu decided to watch Pan Xiqi's first round in person. Once the report is true, he will personally lead a team to investigate the corruption of the Beijing team, and burn the three fires of his new official to the letter.

In this way, under the watchful eye, the first game of Pansizi's career began.
