The well-planned serve net was easily cracked by Pansiqi, and there was no other choice, so Baghdatis had to accept the reality and continue the game first. However, this blow made him even more impatient, who was already a little unhappy. As a result, the two sides were locked for less than ten beats, and with an outrageous forehand shot from Baghdatis, Panci scored the first point.

However, one defeat is not enough to shake Baghdatis's confidence, after all, he has been galloping in the tennis world for more than ten years, and the game experience accumulated over the years still gives him a variety of tactical combinations to choose from.

In the following matches, Baghdatis experimented with different attacking routines in order to compress Pancic's defensive time and tear apart his defence in as few rounds as possible. However, Pancizi, who adjusted the game to defensive mode, showed incredible defensive ability. Many seemingly impossible balls were forcibly guarded back by him.

You know, it's been a long time since Baghdatis have faced an opponent with this style of play. In men's tennis, which is generally very offensive, almost no one chooses to play purely defensively. This kind of passive defensive tactics has super high requirements for the player's movement ability and physical fitness, and it is a very physical style of play. It may work against a low-level player, but once you encounter a player who is good at attacking, you will often be beaten all over the ground.

If you insist on finding a representative player, all Baghdatis can think of is natto when he first debuted. At that time, natto's offensive skills were still very immature, and he was not confident enough in his own offense, and he often relied more on his own defense. With its incredible movement and superhuman-like physical prowess, natto is often able to grind opponents to death. At the end of the day, the opponent who can't beat natto will always be the first to lose patience and make crazy mistakes and lose the game.

Baghdatis and Natto can be regarded as players of the same era, and they also played against each other many times when they were young. Every time he faced the opponent's devilish defense, Baghdatis seemed to have little to do. However, as he grew older, Natto's physical fitness no longer allowed him to choose such a conservative style of play, so in recent years, Natto has also begun to gradually and consciously improve his offensive methods.

But the current Pansiqi gives Baghdatis a feeling that is even more exaggerated than natto when he was young. At that time, natto was mainly defensive, but when the opportunity was right, it would still attack. However, looking at Pan Xiqi again, after so many points, life and death just don't take the initiative to get started, and have a posture that he clearly wants to grind with you to the end and wait for you to make mistakes.

What's even more terrifying is that Pansiqi's defensive ability does not seem to be much worse than natto in the eyes of Baghdatis. Although his current offensive ability cannot be compared with his peak, with his super god state at the beginning, he can reach the level of ninety percent at his peak. But now, under Pansiqi's tight defense, he couldn't find any breakthrough.

"What the hell, how can a qualifier not be killed?" Baghdatis was about to scold.

With a "bang", Baghdatis forced another unsuccessful forehand into a straight line into the net, and Panci chased the score of the first set to 3:3.

In the three games after Pansizi's epiphany, he scored almost all the points. And amazingly, the vast majority of these points were given away due to Baghdatis's voluntary error, and even the few points that Pancich scored directly were due to the opponent's lack of physical strength and gave up the pursuit. In other words, Pansiqi relied on his own defensive ability to pull the situation back without taking the initiative to attack.

Looking at the match time, due to the large number of multi-rounds of more than 10 beats, the time taken in these three rounds was almost double that of the first three. This also means that in these three short innings, Baghdatis's physical fitness has suffered a great loss.

However, the equaliser was not the most frustrating for Baghdatis, and now he was horrified to find that with his unforced mistakes one beat after another, the strong self-confidence and good form that had just been built up in the opening place were gradually eroded from his body.

As Baghdatis's state was worn out little by little, the balance of victory gradually tilted in Pansiqi's side. It can be said that up to now, the tactics assigned by Pansiqi to grind the opponent to death have been completely successful.

Tennis matches are like that, once the momentum is gone, the game becomes more and more difficult to play. Now Baghdatis is fully aware of this great contrast. At the beginning, no matter how you play, you won't go out of bounds, and you will even have the good luck of pressing the line or wiping the net. But now, even though he has been very careful, he still frequently makes mistakes, and he can't get back his previous good feeling.

On the contrary, Pancic's defense seems to be getting easier. Because Baghdatis was trapped by his own mistakes, it was obvious that some of the shots were closed, and the attack did not dare to aim at those corners. Therefore, compared to the previous innings, Pancic's baseline defense is much less difficult, and the movement distance is constantly shortening.

However, even so, Panci insisted on not taking the initiative to attack. To be honest, not only Baghdatis, but even the commentators of CCTV Sports don't quite understand Pansiqi's thoughts. It stands to reason that in the current situation, Pancich has a lot of opportunities to attack. But he just didn't see those opportunities, and just blindly continued his defensive performance.

Pansiqi's choice can be regarded as a misery for Baghdatis, and at this moment, he is in a hurry, and he would rather attack Panci directly, so that he can die. But in this situation, it is easy to make mistakes when attacking by yourself, and if you don't attack and hold on, you will be consumed more physical energy by Pansiqi. Faced with a dilemma, Baghdatis was confused for the first time as to how to proceed with the rest of the game.

Once a player loses his or her direction on the field, trying to win is a fantasy. At this moment, Baghdatis has lost five games in a row, and Pansiqi took the lead in getting the handicap. Although he wanted to try his best to make amends, he still had no choice but to take the impregnable Pansiqi's defense. After fighting hard, he could only accept the result of being beaten by Pansiqi for six games in a row.

"1:0, Pansich won the first set."

After the referee reported the score, the audience did not react much, but those Chinese fans cheered excitedly. Because most of the American audience is in a state of confusion at the moment. In their opinion, from the beginning of the match to the end of the first set, it was clear that Baghdatis was pressing Pansiqi. But somehow, after fighting, Pan Xiqi instead sent out the invisible egg and reversed it directly.

"It was a magical game." One audience member shook his head in amazement.
