Zhang Zhizhen, the star of the Shanghai men's tennis team, is currently ranked third in the domestic men's ranks. Compared with Zhang Ze, who was born in 90, and Wu Di, who was born in 91, Zhang Zhizhen, who was born in 96, is obviously the leader of the new generation of Chinese men's tennis.

At the 2015 ATP Tour Shenzhen Open, the 18-year-old Zhang Zhizhen won three consecutive qualifying matches to break into the main draw for the first time, and then defeated Japanese veteran Hiroshi Tamida in the first round to become famous.

In the second year of the Shenzhen Open, Zhang Zhizhen went one step further, going all the way to the quarterfinals, losing to the Swiss player in the last three sets, and passing by the semi-finals of his first ATP Tour tournament. But the quarterfinals have also set the best record for a Chinese player on the ATP Tour in recent years.

In the domestic arena, Zhang Zhizhen also formed a strong impact on Wu's opponent Zhang Ze. Although there are still more defeats and fewer wins, the gap with those two is getting smaller and smaller. As Zhang Zhizhen grows older and more experienced, I believe that in the near future, he is very likely to break the situation that the domestic men's tennis world has been dominated by Wu and Zhang Ze for many years. Rao is like this, Zhang Zhizhen has now secured the position of the third man in China.

In the first two National Tennis Grand Prix, Zhang Zhizhen broke into the semifinals. It's just that he lost to Zhang Ze and Wu Di in the subsequent semifinals once, and missed the finals. This frustrated him, so he trained harder and went to Europe for a few months of special training in order to make a comeback at this year's Grand Prix and break the monopoly of those two in one fell swoop.

In this year's competition, Zhang Zhizhen was assigned to Zhang Ze's half as the third seed, and if all goes well, the two will have a peak showdown in the semifinals. In the first few rounds, Zhang Zhizhen, who was smooth sailing, swept his opponent all the way and easily entered the quarterfinals. Naturally, he will not be satisfied with this result, because from his opinion, it is only in the semi-finals that the competition officially begins.

"Xiao Pan, Zhang Zhizhen is 1.93 meters tall, his body is strong, and he is infinitely close to European and American athletes. With excellent physical condition, his powerful serve and fierce attack often make domestic athletes unable to parry. Even Wu's opponent Zhang Ze did not dare to confront him head-on, and often only controlled him through the changeable ball path, waiting for his mistakes. Once he is in a state to fight crazy, then even Wu enemy Zhang Ze will not have much chance of winning. In Coach Zheng's room, Coach Zheng showed Pan Xiqi videos of Zhang Zhizhen's previous games, and at the same time introduced his specific situation to Pan Xiqi.

Looking at Zhang Zhizhen's heavy forehand attack in the video, the opponent only resisted stubbornly, and there was almost no backhand power. Judging from the scene, it really looks like European and American players are playing Asian players.

"Coach, don't know what his weaknesses are?" Pan Xiqi suddenly asked Coach Zheng.

"Young and easily impatient. Last year, he made this mistake, and in the semi-finals, when he was in the lead, he was in a mess and was overturned by Wu's enemy. So, as long as you can disturb his state of mind, your chances of winning will be greatly increased. ”

"Hehe, that's easy. You know, messing with people's moods is what I'm best at. Pansiqi smiled lightly.

"Don't take it lightly. I heard that after last year's failure, the Shanghai team deliberately sent him to Europe for special training at a high price, and also found a famous psychological expert to help him solve the psychological problem of being easily impatient. I don't know if he no longer has this problem after treatment. Coach Zheng said with some concern.

"Forget it, this is not something we can control, you just have to prepare yourself. I believe that with your stability, no matter how much the other party jumps, they will not be able to escape from your Five Finger Mountain. Coach Zheng patted Pan Xiqi on the shoulder and expressed absolute confidence in him.

"Okay, after watching the game video, you should rest early, and you have to get up early tomorrow to play. I won't accompany you, I have to go to Lin Teng's to prepare him for the game. With that, Coach Zheng left Panxiqi's room.

Seeing off the coach, Pan Xiqi no longer bothered with Zhang Zhizhen's game video, just pillowed his hands and lay on the bed in a daze. He already has a preliminary understanding of Zhang Zhizhen's style of play. Although the opponent's offensive firepower is strong, after all, it still can't get out of the category of domestic players, and there is not much threat to him.

After thinking about it for a while, for some reason the image of Wang Yan suddenly appeared in my mind. Thinking that as long as he won the championship of this Grand Prix, he could get Wang Yan's WeChat account, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but smirk.

Just as he was committing nymphomaniac, the doorbell suddenly rang. Opening the door, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.

"Xiao Wu, why are you? Is there anything you want me to do? ”

I saw Xiao Wu of the Tianjin team standing timidly at the door, looking left and right from time to time, as if he was afraid that others would see him. Seeing Pan Xiqi open the door, she hurriedly stuffed a small bottle in her hand into Pan Xiqi's hand, and said a little embarrassed: "This is what my senior sister asked me to give you, you can use it quickly." This is a good thing, my sister brought it back from Europe, you must not waste it. After speaking, Xiao Wu hurriedly ran away.

"Alas, Xiao Wu 。。。。。。" Before Pan Xiqi could speak urgently, Xiao Wu had already disappeared at the end of the corridor. Shaking his head, Pansiqi had no choice but to return to the house with the bottle.

"What did Wang Chang give me? It's weird. Pansiqi said, looking at the bottle in his hand.

It turned out that this was a potion produced in France, similar to the domestic Yunnan Baiyao, which was very effective for falls and sprains. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan actually knew that she had sprained herself, and asked Xiao Wu to send medicine over, Pan Xiqi was very surprised.

Thinking that Wang Yan would not look at him differently, Pan Xiqi held the medicine bottle in his hand and began to think nonsense again.

"Bah, I'm such a toad who wants to eat swan meat, I think too much." Pansizzy shook her head, and began to apply the potion to her right ankle.

Although his right ankle has long been healed, how can the beauty live up to it. If there is Wang Chang's WeChat account in the future, Wang Chang will ask him how effective the potion is. If you answer and don't use it, won't it chill people's hearts.

Feeling the slightest chill coming from his right ankle, Pansiqi leaned back on the bed and fell asleep again. It's just that he still holds the small medicine bottle tightly in his hand, and he is reluctant to let go for a long time.

In another hotel room, the coaching staff of the Shanghai team was surrounding Zhang Zhizhen for a tense pre-game preparation meeting. It stands to reason that with Zhang Zhizhen's current strength, as long as he doesn't meet those two in China, others will hardly be able to pose much of a threat to him. However, judging from Zhang Zhizhen's tightly knit eyebrows, it seems that it is not as relaxed as imagined.

Looking at the video of Pan Xiqi's victory over Li Tianming recorded by the coach with his mobile phone, Zhang Zhizhen said a little gloomy: "Coach, this Pan Xiqi's serve is too strong, I can't compare to him." ”

"Yes, this freak who came out of nowhere has such a serving strength. When I first read that report, I thought I could see the jokes of the Beijing team. I didn't expect to see the joke, but such a strong player came. The head coach of the Shanghai team said with a wry smile.

"In addition to serving, he has a strong pace. Look at this ball, although he sprained his ankle at the end, but the kind of movement before was really amazing. I guess that's how fast natto can move. Seeing the ball that Pan Xiqi fell and injured, Zhang Zhizhen's face turned a little pale.

"Yes, this Pansiqi is really unexpected! But thanks to this goal, it made the next game a lot easier. The coach smiled.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhizhen asked.

"You can see that after he sprained his right foot, he could barely move, which means that the injury was very serious. With only one day of recovery, no matter how strong his body is, it is impossible to recover immediately. Although I don't know why the Beijing team hasn't applied for withdrawal yet, but tomorrow with such a serious foot injury, even if he plays closed, he will definitely not be your opponent. The coach of the Shanghai team gloated.

This can only be blamed on the Shanghai team's pre-match intelligence work, but Pan Xiqi also participated in the doubles match in the afternoon. If they had gone to the scene to see Pansiqi's performance, it is estimated that they would not have made the current judgment.

"Yes, I've been with this kind of sprain, not only in my movements, but also in my serve. In this case, his offensive threat would have to drop by at least half. Zhang Zhizhen also made his own judgment based on his own experience.

'Tomorrow, you're going to have to make the most of his foot injury. Serve as wide as possible, and attack to the left and right to increase his range of movement as much as possible. I believe that when the time comes, his right foot will definitely not be able to support this intensity of play. "The coach finalized the battle plan for tomorrow.

In the executive suite of a more luxurious five-star hotel, Director Liu of the network management center was sitting leisurely on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper of the day, and the staff member who was always with him was standing aside at the moment, looking at him a little nervously.

"Director Liu, which one are we going to watch tomorrow's game? Or do you want to inspect the network management center in Guangzhou? The staff waited for Director Liu to make arrangements for tomorrow's trip.

"Also, in the past few days in Guangzhou, they have invited me several times, and it is time to go over and have a look. In this way, after watching Pan Xiqi's singles match tomorrow morning, we will go to the Guangzhou Network Management Center. Director Liu gave instructions without raising his head.

"Are you going to watch Pansizy's game tomorrow? Have you watched three games in a row before? If you show up tomorrow, a lot of people will not be able to sit still. You know, there are already some rumors now. The staff replied with some surprise.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of, I'll sit up straight, whatever they say. I think this style of play of Panci is very interesting, and I want to watch more of his matches and study the tactics of tennis. Director Liu said sternly.

The staff didn't believe this explanation, you must know that Director Liu is a complete outsider, and he has hardly held a tennis racket in his life, so how could he suddenly become interested in tennis games. However, he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurried to arrange tomorrow's itinerary.

Seeing the staff go out, Director Liu put away the newspaper with an incomprehensible smile on his face.
