In October, Beijing ushered in the most beautiful season of the year. As the sun goes down, the last rays of warmth are swept away by the strong autumn winds, replaced by a growing chill from the north.

However, at this time, the National Tennis Center, located on the edge of the North Fifth Ring Road, was not affected by autumn at all, but was in full swing. With the brilliant court lights and the surging crowds of spectators, no one can deny that this will be an unprecedented success at the China Open.

Although today is only the first round of the men's singles main draw of the China Open, the Diamond Court, which is the center court, has long been hard to find. The appearance of natto, the world's No. 1 and the king of clay, certainly attracted the attention of some audiences, but I believe that the vast majority of the audience still went for that person.

Almost as soon as you enter the doors of the National Tennis Center, you can feel Pansizi's omnipresent influence. Whether it is the huge poster of Panxiqi hanging everywhere in the main committee, or the cheering banner with Panxiqi's name written in the hands of the fans on the road, it can be easily seen that in the next few days, Panxiqi will be the well-deserved protagonist of the entire China Open.

Not only are the fans enthusiastic, but many domestic sports media are also gearing up, unwilling to miss such a rare opportunity to interview Pansic. For a time, the popularity of China Network in the sports news page continued to rise, and the information about China Network was updated almost in real time. Pansiqi brought such a strong exposure, which naturally made the event organizers smile, and felt that the appearance fee was well spent.

With Panci and top seed Natto in the two halves of the draw, it means that if they want to meet again after the US Open, it will only happen in the final. And I believe that such a peak showdown is definitely what everyone is eagerly looking forward to.

In the first game in the afternoon, Natto unexpectedly encountered a hard-fought battle, and finally reversed the opponent with difficulty to advance to the second round. The three-hour game really made the main committee and fans sweat, and the smooth promotion of natto finally made the possibility of a peak showdown continue, and also made everyone look forward to Pansiczy's appearance. As a result, with half an hour to go before the start of the first round match between Panci and Kyrgios, the Diamond Stadium was already full.

Pan Xiqi, who was standing in the players' tunnel, waiting to play, listened to the shouts on the court outside, and unexpectedly felt a trace of nervousness in his heart. Unlike the crowning glory of the US Open, the China Open is almost the most familiar tennis tournament for him.

From the former Guangcai Sports Center, to the later tall Olympic venues, and then to the current Diamond Stadium, Pan Xiqi has almost grown up with China Open. He lost count of the number of times he'd sat in the stadium's audience and watched one world star after another perform. For the Chinese net, he almost has a special feeling. This is also this strange association, so that when he received the invitation to the wild card of the China Network, he agreed without hesitation. And now, when it is really his turn to take the center stage of this stadium to perform for the Chinese people, how can he not have a sense of unreality in his heart.

Just as Pansiqi was overwhelmed with emotion, he didn't notice that Kyrgios, who was standing behind him, was shooting him with an almost cruel gaze. Listening to the cheers of the decibels getting higher and higher outside the field, the excitement in his heart became stronger and stronger. He thought he was born to be a big man, and he couldn't wait to step on the field and start his wonderful performance.

Finally, under the guidance of the staff, with cheers like a tsunami, Pansic and the two entered the diamond stadium in turn. For Pansiqi's first appearance in a local event after becoming famous, CCTV did not hesitate to choose the live broadcast in the evening prime time. And this kind of treatment has never appeared in the history of the previous ten sessions of the China Open.

"Hey, Pansiqi, enjoy that worthless cheer now. In a moment, I will let you taste what it is called humiliation in front of your own people. Looking at Pansizy, who waved to the crowd from time to time, Kyrgios couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Oops, what kind of bad idea is this stinky boy playing again. The last time I saw him with this expression, there was a big storm! Coach Igor, who was sitting in the player's box, keenly observed the expression of his disciple and patted his head depressedly. At this point, Kyrgios was really going to make some trouble, and he couldn't stop it.

Soon, the two sides began a five-minute warm-up practice before the game. As a veteran tennis fan, Pancici is no stranger to Kyrgios. In his opinion, the young player has great talent and can often play amazing tennis. But it seems that the temper is not very good, and the emotional control is not sophisticated enough. Dealing with such a player, Pan Xiqi still has full certainty in his heart.

In general, players warm-up practice before the game, including serving, pulling, and smashing in front of the net. Players usually don't go all out at this time, but just let their bodies warm up as soon as possible. However, after just a few balls of practice, Pansic found something that was a little different from the previous game.

That is, Kyrgios's ball was too hard. Needless to say, the serves, almost all of them are super strong flat shots close to 220 kilometers. Looking at him like that, it seems that he wants to blow up the tennis ball. And for some reason, his serve is almost entirely a chase, and Pansiqi will serve wherever he stands. As a receiver, there were a few times when Panci was even close to being hit by a tennis ball.

Kyrgios seemed to turn a blind eye to his rude behavior, and he did not apologize at all. Although Panci was unhappy, he thought that this might be Kyrgios's style of serving, so he didn't take it too seriously.

And when it came to the ball session, Kyrgios still had no intention of reducing his strength. The powerful volley of a shot like a beat made Pansiqi even have the illusion of playing the final deciding set. For the opponent's aggressiveness, Panci didn't want to cause any trouble, so in the end, he took the initiative not to pick up the opponent's incoming ball.

Seeing that Pansiqi took the initiative to give up, Kyrgios actually made a thumbs up gesture. Now his meaning is obvious, that is, as a dignified Grand Slam champion, he doesn't even dare to catch his own ball. Isn't this scolding Pansiqi in front of the audience?

Kyrgios's move also attracted the attention of some spectators on the sidelines, and for a while, the voices of discussion rose in all directions, and the whole arena seemed even more noisy.

"What does this mean? It seems that the person who came is not good! I don't remember offending him before, right? No wonder others say that he is a bad boy in tennis, and it seems that he is not in vain. Pansic was puzzled by Kyrgios's unexpected provocation.

However, what he didn't expect was that this provocation was just the beginning of the farce that followed. I want to talk about "The Prince of Middle-aged Tennis" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
