Chapter 133: Six Consecutive Tyrants
As the first week of the Ho Chi Minh Hope Tournament came to an end, the names of the Chinese duo who won the championship and runner-up also appeared in the new world rankings for the first time. Pansiqi took 35 points to finish 658th, while Lin Teng, who finished second, moved up to 800th with 20 points.
Don't look at their rankings now, but this is only the first race they have participated in. As you can see from the official website of the ATP, some players have participated in more than 20 tournaments and played for more than half a year, and only scored about 30 points. Therefore, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng's fishing efficiency is already very amazing.
However, this is just the beginning for them, with five weeks to go ahead to get them to the next big game. In the second week of the competition, the two still need to compete in the qualifying round due to their low rankings.
Pan Xiqi, who is no longer a rookie on the court, naturally won three games in a row with great ease, occupying two seats in the main competition. Since the three-week competition is a one-time registration, the competitors are all the same people, which naturally leads to the same opponent meeting in a row.
Japan's Obuchi is the unlucky one, who was completely humiliated by Pan Xiqi in the last week's game, and was already physically and mentally hurt. Unexpectedly, in the first round of the second week, he met Pan Xiqi sadly.
At the beginning of the game, he also ignited a hint of revenge. But after a few points, he realized that defeating Pansiqi was just a luxury. Pansic didn't bother to use his brain anymore, just blindly gave him a backhand ball.
Without any suspense, Xiao Yuan was shaved by Pan Xiqi again because of his miserable backhand performance, and he ate two duck eggs in a row and was out. If the last time he was just a little disheartened about tennis, this time the fiasco made him lose everything.
In the next game, Panci was like a monster with a big mouth, devouring all opponents in one fell swoop. Every player who has played against him almost never wants to meet him again. Pansiqi's level of detachment was so high that they couldn't figure out how such a person could come to the Hope Race.
For Pansiqi, Hope has lost any meaning to him and has been reduced to the key to high-level competition. There is no such thing as gaining experience in the game, adapting to professional tennis, etc. In Vietnam's extremely hot weather, he only wanted to win the race as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of time he was exposed to the sun.
After winning 14 sets in a row, Panci once again reached the final of the Hope Tournament. As for how many eggs were given away in these 14 plates, Pansiqi didn't care too much. On the contrary, the tournament staff who counted the match data had a question, wondering if Pansiqi's number of eggs delivered during this period had set a record in the tennis world. Because he has the impression that he has never heard of a tennis player who has performed so miraculously before.
As for Lin Teng, it's not that the enemies don't get together. In the semi-finals of the other semi-section, he met his old classmate Bonali of Thailand. This time, as in the previous script, the two sides were in the dark again, and the match was also dragged into the third set.
However, the final result was different, and the Thai seemed to have learned the lesson of his last time and moved away from being conservative in the deciding set and taking a more aggressive approach. In this way, under the attack of the two sides, the advantage of Bonali's stability is more reflected. In the end, Lin Teng was broken by his opponent due to psychological fluctuations and lost the third set with a score of 4:6, thus regrettably missing the final against Pansiqi for two consecutive weeks.
In the final, the high-spirited Thai was ready to launch an all-out assault on Pansiqi. In his opinion, Pansiqi won the championship last week only because the battle between Lin Teng and himself in the semifinals was too consumed and was missed by him. This time, he's going to win back the title by beating Pansiqi.
But when the game actually started, he knew he was wrong. Since Bonali is a foreign player and has just defeated his little brother Lin Teng, where will Pan Xiqi show mercy, and the opening scene is a violent beating.
In his previous tennis career, Bonali basically did not have the opportunity to compete with the world's top players. At this moment, the pressure Pansiqi brought to him was completely beyond his imagination. In the face of Pansiqi, he felt that he was inferior to the other party, and it was simply full of loopholes.
The balanced style of play that he was proud of in the past seemed so fragile in front of Pansiqi. Obviously, the other party hasn't strengthened much, and he can't resist it. Coupled with the opponent's terrifying strong serve, he was beaten like a sieve.
6:1, 6:0, Pan Xiqi used a disparity score to make the Thai hopeful, who was also new to the adult arena, fully feel the cruelty of the adult arena, and also won his second hope championship.
In the third week of the game, the plot is different from the previous week, but the ending is the same. That was Pan Siqi's easy two-set sweep of the final opponent and the three titles of the Ho Chi Minh Hope Tournament.
Lin Teng lost to his opponent again in the semifinals and stopped in the semifinals. However, the first time he participated in the Hope Tournament, he could get a runner-up and two semi-finals, and no matter how demanding people were, they couldn't find fault with Lin Teng anymore.
At the end of the three-week competition, all the fighters moved on to Hanoi to prepare for another three weeks. At this time, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng's world rankings have risen to 385 and 526 respectively, and they can directly advance to the main match of the Hope Tournament without having to participate in the qualifying round.
Among them, Pancich even became the fourth seed, qualifying for a quarter-zone. However, for Pansiqi, it didn't make much sense. All he has to do now is keep winning the game so that he can move up the rankings as quickly as possible.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng had been in Vietnam for six weeks. By the last day of the competition, Pansiqi had become a super idol in the hearts of all the competitors participating in the Vietnam Hope Tournament.
Because in those six weeks of competition, counting the first two qualifiers, Panci won all six titles with a terrifying 36-game winning streak. In all 36 matches, he swept through the game in two sets, while also giving away dozens of duck eggs.
By this time, the tournament official had finally confirmed that Panci must have set a tennis world record. Because there is no second person who can send so many 6:0 scores in such a short period of time.
Pan Xiqi's youngest brother Lin Teng also gained a lot from this trip to Vietnam, with two runners-up and four semi-finals in six tournaments, which is completely an excellent performance of a tennis supernova. However, now in Pansiqi's comparison, it is much inferior.
