After winning the first round of mixed doubles with Wang Chang, Panci didn't have time to celebrate the joy of victory with his sweetheart, so he hurried to the grandstand court. And Wang Chang's side, without saying a word, packed up the ball bag and rushed to another peripheral court non-stop. Not for anything else, just because the two of them have their own competition tasks next.

I don't know if the U.S. Open organizing committee deliberately targeted the two, Pan Xiqi and Wang Chang were both scheduled for a one-day doubles match on September 1. Not only that, but the timing of their two games is very close, which means that the two need to make extremely precise planning for the day's matching.

Walking briskly on the road, Wang Yan's face did not show too much anxious expression. After the mixed doubles match, Wang Chang will play the first round of the Women's Doubles, which will start in an hour as planned. There were concerns that the mixed doubles match would be too long and that it would affect the rest of the match, but Pancic's bullying performance allowed them to win comfortably and complete the first match within the scheduled schedule.

However, a problem that worried Wang Yan more before was easily solved, that is, physical fitness problems. Originally, I thought that the two games were so close that I might not have time to recover my fitness. But now it seems that playing mixed doubles with Pancicic is like resting on the court, where you need to spend some energy. On the contrary, she squatted in front of the net for a long time, which made Wang Yan feel a little bored, and she wanted to run happily on the bottom line.

Thinking about Pansiqi's heroic performance in the mixed doubles competition, Wang Yan couldn't help but show a smile on her face. For some reason, the longer she came into contact with Pan Xiqi, the more she found herself admiring this mediocre-looking man. In short, with him, she could feel a sense of stability that she had never felt before.

Compared with Wang Yan, Pan Xiqi is much more embarrassed. The third round of the men's singles match between him and Čurić will start in half an hour, which is almost the limit of time between the two matches.

After the schedule came out, at the suggestion of Lu Yanxun, Pan Xiqi appealed to the US Open organizing committee, hoping to modify the match time so that the interval between singles and doubles matches could be longer. However, the U.S. Open organizing committee replied that the event time could not be changed, and if he was too late, he would have to choose to withdraw from one of the tournaments.

"Damn, these Yankees are snobs. I don't believe that if this were the case for Roger or Natto, they would still insist on not rescheduling. After listening to Pan Xiqi's relay, Lu Yanxun complained indignantly.

"Forget it, it's the same all over the world. In short, you are not qualified to ask others to respect you until you are strong yourself. Pan Xiqi was more open-minded and opened his mouth to comfort.

In his mind, since he couldn't change the decision of the organizing committee, he could only start from himself. In the first mixed doubles match, as long as he wins as quickly as possible, he should still be able to make time.

Sure enough, the Pansiqi combination, who swept the opponent smoothly in two sets, took a little less time than expected. Even so, Pansiqi sensed that time was pressing. Flushing Park was so big that he rushed to the players' waiting room at the Grandstand as fast as he could, with fifteen minutes left before the official game time.

Seeing the sweaty Pansiqi rushing in, Churic, who had been waiting for a long time, looked a little surprised. Originally, he thought that his opponent would not appear in the third round against him, but now it seems that the opponent still arrived in time.

Pan Xiqi knew that he must look embarrassed in the eyes of the other party at this time, but he didn't have time to scruple so much. Sitting on the rest chair and taking out a towel to quickly wipe the sweat from his head, Pansic just wanted to take a good rest.

Less than five minutes after they sat down, the tournament staff came to the players' waiting room and signaled that the two were ready to play. At this time, Pansiqi had just gasped for breath, and the sweat on his body was not yet completely dry. In desperation, he had no choice but to lift the bag again and obediently follow the staff onto the court. Pansiqi exuded a heavy smell of sweat as he walked, causing Churic, who was following behind, to frown frequently, and his face was full of disgust.

As soon as he stepped onto the court, Pansiqi sensed the difference around him.

"Damn, it's a big stadium and a lot of people!" Pansic couldn't help but sigh.

As the two players appeared on the field, the crowd erupted in a deafening cheer, and those who don't know thought it was a superstar whose game was about to be played here. The grandstand stadium, which can accommodate six or seven thousand people, was actually full at this time, and even some of the farthest corner seats were occupied by enthusiastic spectators.

The grandstand court, one of the three center courts of the U.S. Open, is usually home to high-ranked players. It stands to reason that the third round matchup between Panci and Churic is that both sides are unseeded players, and Panci is a qualifier and is unlikely to be placed on the center court. Although the size of the grandstand is far from comparable to the other two stadiums, it is not something that a player of their caliber can hope for.

However, in the third round of the tournament, the number of singles matches has rapidly decreased, and more big-name players will be on the next match day, so the organizing committee actually ranked this match on the center court. However, there is another major reason, and that is that the US Open organizing committee attaches great importance to the rising star of Churic.

In their view, Čurić has a good chance of reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open, and it would not be a surprise to break into the semi-finals with the existing lineup in the lower half. Therefore, under such huge expectations, arranging Čurić's game on the grandstand stadium can be regarded as a kind of warm-up for future games.

This also cheapened Pancic, allowing him to fulfill his desire to play on Centre Court in the third round of the Grand Slam. Although it was only a grandstand court, it was enough to get Pancich excited.

Looking at the dense crowd of spectators around him, Pansic had a feeling of scalp tingling. Although the number of seats in the grandstand stadium is not the largest in the stadium he has ever played, the number of spectators must be the largest. You must know that Pan Xiqi participated in the previous game, and only one or two thousand spectators came to watch the game, most of them were hundreds of people, which is like now, the entire stadium is completely full, and the number of spectators is more than 6,000.

The noise caused by thousands of spectators made Pan Xiqi, who had just appeared on the stage, feel goosebumps about to rise. That momentum is not at all comparable to that of a mere few hundred people. Pansic now finally understands how the singer feels when he holds a concert for 10,000 people, and the feeling of being in the spotlight is so wonderful. He couldn't even imagine how shocked he would be if he entered the Arthur Ashe Arena, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people next door!
