Truth be told, Lorenz wouldn't have been so optimistic about his prospects if he had watched the footage of Pancic's previous rounds. As a veteran with more than ten years of abuse experience, he should be very aware that there is still a huge gap between himself and Pansiczy.

However, Lorenz, like Pancic, did not have an accompanying coach at all. When he came to New York to participate in the competition, he was also alone, and he had to take care of everything such as the competition, accommodation, and training by himself. For nothing else, just because his meager bonus income is really not enough to support the expenses of a second person besides himself.

So, for Lorenz, playing in a Grand Slam means more than just an hour or two on the court. After the third round, Lorenz was physically and mentally exhausted for a night's rest, and then he worked non-stop to prepare himself for the next day's pre-match training. Without the help of the team, he would not have had much energy to conduct targeted tactical analysis of Pancic's game footage.

However, this is also because Lorenz is quite comfortable with Pancic's Chinese status. Unlike Čurić's innate sense of superiority, Lorenz, who has been in a lot of battles, really played against Chinese players a few years ago.

That encounter, of course, ended with his easy victory. It was also on that occasion that the Chinese men's player left him with the feeling that he was almost not much higher than the amateur player.

As for Pansić as a qualifier, Lorenz was also very surprised that he was able to break into the top 16. But he has always had a big heart, but he just thought that it might be Pansiqi's luck, so he didn't think about it any further.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, before the fourth round, Pansich didn't even make any specific preparations for Lorenz. Unlike Lorenz, Pansizzy was just too busy. After the win over Čurić, Panci continued to play in the second round of the men's doubles the following day.

This time they weren't too lucky, as they met the tournament's top seeds, an international pair from Australia and Finland. As the top seeds, the pair have won three consecutive tournaments before the US Open, and even beat the doubles legends, the Brian brothers of the United States, to become the top favorites to win the doubles tournament at the US Open.

In the face of such a strong opponent, Lu Yanxun naturally expressed his worries about the game, worried that Pan Xiqi alone would not be able to withstand the offensive of the other two. But after receiving Pan Xiqi's reply that he firmly implemented Pan's position, Lu Yanxun could only choose to continue to believe in Pan Xiqi.

I have to say that this number one combination is really not a waste of fame. Although the individual abilities of the two are very average, under the almost perfect doubles cooperation, they burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

In the face of the seamless cooperation of the other party, the normal combination of the two is a little insufficient. But now Pan Xiqi has to resist the opponent on the bottom line with his own strength, and also beat the opponent to create opportunities for Lu Yanxun in front of the net, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, under the miraculous effect of the first aid capsule, Pan Xiqi, whose physical fitness was at his peak, fully made the other party feel what is called the crushing of ability. 6:3, 6:4, Pansiqi combined in the second round to break the biggest upset in the men's doubles of this US Open.

The following night, Panci had another devil's schedule for the mixed doubles and singles one-day doubles. However, this time, the US Open organizing committee was merciful and arranged the mixed doubles for the first match of the day, and the fourth-round singles of Pancich and Lorenz were arranged for the finale on the grandstand court.

After the first round of the mixed doubles, Wang Yan already developed a strong sense of dependence on Pan Xiqi. By the second round, this sense of dependence had quickly evolved into a sense of worship. In the game, Wang Chang fully felt the all-round care from Pan Xiqi. Almost without her hands, Pan Xiqi, who was standing on the bottom line and controlling the audience, had already beaten the other two people to the ground.

Two 6:2, the Chinese pair, which seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the outside world, successfully won the second victory, and took the lead in the Pansiqi singles match to break into the quarterfinals of this US Open!

Lu Yanxun and Wang Yan, who continue to enjoy the happiness of lying down and winning, quickly became Pan Xiqi's brain-dead fans after Lin Teng. So when the encounter between Pancich and Lorenz was staged at the Grandstand, the two naturally appeared in Pancic's player box.

When the fourth round of the men's singles, which was rated as the most uninteresting by foreign media, started, it was close to four o'clock in the morning in China. However, the ratings data obtained before the game still shocked the CCTV sports director.

"Make no mistake, the number of viewers has increased by nearly 20 percent compared to the previous round. It's four o'clock in the morning! I really didn't expect so many people in China to be paying attention to Pansiqi's game! Looking at the exaggerated ratings, he suddenly regretted that he didn't put Pancic's first round on CCTV5 in the first place.

Correspondingly, the number of Chinese viewers who supported Pan Xiqi on the spot also reached a new high. In the cheers of these spectators, for a moment Pan Xiqi even wondered if he had traveled back to China to participate in the competition.

Regarding the particularity of the Grand Slam quarterfinals, the CCTV commentary also tried its best to render it before the game. Listening to him, only players who can reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam can be called real masters. And there are countless tennis players who may not be able to reach such heights in their lifetime.

Originally, the audience in front of the TV was still quite nervous about this quarter-final battle. After all, according to the commentator, in some Grand Slam matches, the matches between 16-8 and 8-4 are often more fierce and exciting than the final competition.

But as the game progressed, the audience in front of the TV was a little dumbfounded. Because in less than an hour, Panci had already won the first two sets 6:1, 6:0.

"What bullshit commentary, what I said before the game was crazy, but now it seems that this Italian player is a little too careless." A viewer turned on the strong spit mode.

"It's so boring, staying up late until now, I didn't expect to watch a game that is not more suspenseful than table tennis. If that's the case, it's not hard to get into the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. Another viewer even turned off the TV and went to catch up on sleep.

Less than twenty minutes later, Pansiqi won the third set 6-1. In this way, under the witness of countless national audiences, Panci gave the Italian veteran the worst defeat in the Grand Slam tournament with a near-slaughtering performance, and successfully "watered" into the final quarterfinals!
