Serra, who was at his best at the end of the first set, still couldn't snatch the game he wanted from Panciczi. The strange Chinese player on the opposite side was as calm as death, and in the face of his amazing momentum, he was unmoved, and he simply suppressed himself alive with a strong defense.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" Serra, who lost the first set 0-6, made the above evaluation of his opponent in his heart. However, the loss of the first set also made Serra completely realize the huge gap between himself and Pansiqi. So in the second set, all he had to do was get the match done and lose it. For him, it was a bit unrealistic to fantasize about winning the game at this time.

What happened next seemed to come naturally. For a tennis player who can't fight back with all his might, the only motivation to stay on the court and continue to play the game is professionalism.

And Serra is clearly a very professional player. Although he knew that he could not defeat Pancic, out of respect for his opponents and the audience, he still did his job conscientiously in the second set. Every round, as long as he is within his ability, he will try his best to run and return the ball.

Under Pansic's exquisite control, the final score of the second set was fixed at 6:3, and Panci swept the No. 2 seed in two sets smoothly and advanced to the final of the Chengdu Challenger. As for how exactly Serra managed to get three games from Pansizi's hands, it's a question that is unclear. After all, for Pansic, Serra does not have the same ethnic hatred as the Japanese, and his serious attitude towards the game makes Pansiqi quite appreciated, so it is not impossible for his subordinates to show mercy.

The final of the Chengdu Challenger will be between top seed Lu Yanxun and qualifier Pan Xiqi, an outcome that no one expected before the tournament. The appearance of Lu Yanxun's name is naturally deserved, and he is the biggest favorite in this competition. But Pansiqi started from the qualifying round and won seven games in a row to reach the final, which has to be amazing.

Not only that, but on the way to qualify, he also defeated two veterans who have been on the tour for many years. Compared with Lu Yanxun's promotion path, Pan Xiqi's gold content is obviously much higher. It can be said that Pansiqi has become the biggest dark horse of this competition.

Such a final lineup can be regarded as a joy for the organizers of the Chengdu competition. They couldn't have imagined a more satisfying outcome than the final between two Chinese players. Although Lu Yanxun is a Taiwanese player, Taiwan is also considered Chinese. After all, this is a competition held in China, and the two national players will meet in the finals, which is obviously more conducive to attracting the attention of the media and the public.

In this way, less than an hour after Pan Xiqi won, a message with the title "Chinese Derby" appeared on the official Weibo of the Chengdu Challenge's organizers, hyping up that this was the first time in the history of the challenge that two Chinese players would meet in the final, which was considered to build momentum for the upcoming final.

However, because the attention of men's tennis in China is too low, even if the organizers work hard to promote it, it still does not seem to have caused any splash in the society. After all, it's only a challenge-level competition, and there's still no qualification to be on the media page. And the pitiful comments and retweets under the official Weibo also fully show that Chinese men's tennis still has a long way to go in order to achieve the influence of women's tennis in China.

But it was such an ordinary promotional message that caused an uproar among Taiwanese tennis fans. On PTT, Taiwan's largest and most active forum, there were even several introductions about the competition, which attracted many comments from fans.

However, after clicking on the post, countless insults against the tournament organizers and ridicule of Pansiqi came to his face. If you take a closer look at the content of its post, you will find that the root of the problem lies in the words "Chinese Derby".

It turns out that due to the successful brainwashing of Taiwan's Green Party in recent years, more and more young people in Taiwan do not identify with their Chinese identity, and even want to try their best to get rid of their ties with China, and the theory of "de-Sinicization" was once very loud.

As a representative figure of Taiwan's men's tennis, Lu Yanxun has always been very popular in Taiwan and is deeply loved by the majority of fans. But now looking at the news of the Chengdu organizers, they actually classified Lu Yanxun as a Chinese player with "sinister intentions", which is really unacceptable to Taiwanese fans.

This can only say that Lu Yanxun's fans are really powerful, and even such a Weibo that no one pays attention to in the mainland can be dug up by them. After reposting the message to the Taiwanese forum word for word, its glaring headline immediately triggered a frenzied attack from Taiwanese fans.

"Who is the Chinese player, the mainlanders will tell me clearly!"

"China has no shame to learn from South Korea and forcibly changed the nationality of Lu Yanxun!"

Such comments are polite, and what's more, in a fit of anger, he directly scolded the three-character scripture.

At first, fans also directed their anger on the Chengdu organizers, but slowly, more and more people turned the finger to Panxiqi. Because in their opinion, forcibly putting Pan Xiqi and Lu Yanxun together is really an insult to Taiwan's first brother.

In the eyes of Taiwanese fans, mainland women's tennis is indeed very strong, but men's tennis is really not worth mentioning. Although there is no successor on his side, just relying on Lu Yanxun alone, his results can kill mainland male players countless times. Therefore, in their opinion, Pan Xiqi should also be a rookie with poor strength, and he is not qualified to be compared with the light of Taiwan at all.

Under this stereotyped thinking, countless fans ridiculed Pansiqi, believing that he would definitely be repaired by Lu Yanxun in the final. Cursing and scolding, they became curious about Pansiqi again, wanting to dig deeper into the player's background and see if there was anything to make fun of.

Because of Taiwan's admiration for Japan, many Taiwanese have the habit of paying attention to Japanese news. I don't know which fan found out about the crazy report of Pan Xiqi in the Japanese media before, and immediately turned into a hard-working little ant to carry all the news about Pan Xiqi to the forum.

After reading the Japanese evaluation of Pan Xiqi, Taiwanese fans have exploded. It turns out that this player, who has laughed at himself for a long time, is a genius who has the potential to change the pattern of Asian tennis in the eyes of the Japanese.

This caught Taiwanese fans off guard, and the forum's attitude towards Pan Xiqi quickly divided into two factions. A group of fans think that the Japanese are making a big fuss, and Pan Xiqi should not be worthy of the name and cannot pose a real threat to Lu Yanxun; The other faction believes that tomorrow's final, Lu Yanxun, may face an unprecedented challenge.

Fans with two views couldn't convince anyone, and they came and went, and they actually pinched up. I have to say that the situation in the online world is changing rapidly. But no matter what, our actor Pan Xiqi, in addition to causing an uproar in the Japanese tennis world, is now famous in the Taiwanese tennis world.
