Chapter 247: The Key to Victory

"John, as a four-time US Open champion, have you ever experienced this kind of frenetic atmosphere before? I believe that today's Arthur Ashe should be rare in your career, right? The ESPN host asked John McEnroe, the official commentator of the US Open.

"Yes, how can I say yes, whenever the local players play at Arthur Ashe, there is always a little bit of a difference in the performance here. But tonight's crowd surprised me because they reminded me of the Cold War against the Soviet Union. McEnroe replied with some surprise.

"You mean, Pansiqi is already seen as an enemy of the United States? A week ago, he was just a no-brainer in the qualifiers. But now, he has become the most well-known Chinese athlete in the United States overnight. What do you think of his and Querrey's pre-match remarks? The moderator went on to throw more sensitive topics at McEnroe.

"Actually, I don't know exactly what they said that led to this hostile situation, but as someone who has been there, I want to advise these two juniors to focus more on the pitch. After all, playing well is what we should do. McEnroe fooled the question rather out of the way.

Although he was not satisfied with the answer that McLeo played 50 boards each, the game was about to start, and the host could only change the conversation: "Audience friends, the last men's singles quarterfinals match on the ninth match day of the 2017 US Open tennis tournament is about to start, and now we bring you the live picture, I hope tonight's game can give all American audiences a satisfactory answer." ”

With the on-site referee's "play", the Sino-American battle between Panci and Querrey officially began. Since Querrey has always been a player with a low presence in the tennis world, Pancich has not watched his matches broadcast much and is not very clear about his technical characteristics.

Pansizi just knows that with a height of more than 1.9 meters and outstanding serving skills, Quirrey is also classified as a tennis serving giant. As for whether Querrey has other technical expertise besides serving, Pansiqi is not very clear.

After watching the video footage of Queirey's previous rounds, Pansiqi has a more comprehensive understanding of Quelrey's overall technical and tactical play. Video analysis shows that Querrey relied heavily on his serve, and built up an advantage through his serve to score almost more than 60 percent of his total score. This means that as long as Quirrey's serve is choked, then Pancici can largely dominate the match.

Relying too much on serve can actually be regarded as a technical and tactical shortcoming for Querrey, and it is precisely because of this flaw that it is often difficult for Querrey to win even a match when encountering a player with super return ability.

"Zheng Jie, I heard that you and Pan Xiqi know each other in private. What do you know about him, what does he need to do to get over the mountain of Quarey in this game? The CCTV sports commentator asked Zheng Jie, who was the guest commentator, before the game began.

"Receiving serves, as long as you do a good job of receiving serves, Panci will have a good chance of winning this match. Judging by Pansiczy's baseline ability in the previous rounds, the rough Querey can't compete with him. Therefore, as long as Pancich can achieve the same level of return against Anderson, then there is a good hope that he can make history and break into the final four. Zheng Jie replied expectantly.

Indeed, Zheng Jie, as a famous player who has been in the tennis world for many years, is still very accurate in judging the situation. This men's singles battle, which has attracted the attention of fans in China and the United States, is, in the final analysis, actually a confrontation between two players.

As for Pansiqi's ability to receive the ball, Quirrey naturally also has some knowledge. Anderson's service level can be said to be on par with him, but in the first round, even though Anderson played a top serve, he was still defeated by Panci with a more domineering return attack. Therefore, for Querrey, how to deal with Pancizi's miraculous return ability has also become a problem that he must solve in this match.

In the first game of the first set, Querrey, who guessed the front and back of the coin, unsurprisingly chose to serve first. Standing behind the bottom line, after seeing Pansiqi's position clearly, the corners of Qurey's mouth turned up slightly, and a hint of a long-guessed expression appeared on his face.

It turned out that Panci actually took out the first round of Anderson's receiving position and stood directly in the position of taking a step forward from the bottom line. It can be said that in the first round, with this extremely oppressive return position that made everyone jaw-dropping, Pansiqi took Anderson, who can be called a service machine, and finally doubted his life.

"Hmph, do you really think I'm going to be as defenseless as Anderson? Now, let me see how you're going to react to my serve. Quirrey sneered inwardly.

Standing behind the baseline of the first service area, he slapped the tennis ball on the ground a few times, Querrey threw the ball high, and then sent the ball out like a cloud.

This kind of serve gives the crowd the feeling that the players are doing it with ease, but the real power is amazing. Sure enough, after a crisp sound, the tennis ball smashed into Pansiqi's receiving area at an almost teleportation speed.

"219 km! I really didn't expect Quirrey to make such an easy move, and the final effect was so good, and he really deserves to be one of the most famous serving cannons in the tennis world. Looking at the numbers that flashed on the display for the first time, McEnroe was amazed.

"With a serve of almost 220 kilometers, it can be said that this is already the top serve in tennis. With such a good performance on the first goal, it seems that Querrey has mobilized his form well before the game. However, for Pansiqi, he handled this level of serve well in the first round, so in my opinion, there is no need to worry that Pansiqi will not be able to cope. Although she is also amazed by the power of Queirey's serve, Zheng Jie is still quite optimistic about Pansiqi's performance in the future out of absolute confidence in Pansiqi's ability to receive serves.

"Oh no, it's a chase ball! This is one of the most difficult situations to deal with in the return serve, especially since Panci is now standing so far forward! The next second, Zheng Jie suddenly exclaimed. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
