(I haven't updated it in a few days, so I'm sorry.) The Chinese New Year is too busy, and I have to take care of my children and relatives, and I have to go to the class reunion day after day, so I can't guarantee that it will be updated on time. I'm another one who hasn't saved the manuscript, and I'm writing first, and I guess I will have to live a normal life after fifteen years before I can get back on track. ）

"Coach, don't be kidding, can't I raise the ranking to less than two hundred in a year? You see that Wu Di can participate in the Grand Slam qualifiers, I don't believe that I can't compare to him. After listening to Coach Zheng's words, Pan Xiqi felt that he was being underestimated.

"Hey, of course I know that you are much stronger than Wu Di. However, the world arena is not as good as the domestic one, and those who can participate in the tour are the top players. When you were a fan, you felt that ranking more than 100 was already considered an unpopular player, right? But it's such a player, any one of them is a proper No. 1 player in our country. Therefore, once you enter the tour, you will face opponents who are far stronger than Wu opponents Zhang Ze and the like. ”

"Coach, you're exaggerating, when I used to watch cows play, watching him play against more than a hundred players, it's not at the level of a planet. Such players can dominate our country, how low is our men's tennis level? Pan Xiqi felt that Coach Zheng was a little sensational.

"Hey, I can only say that it must be lower than you think, so low that not only abroad, but also in China, few people pay attention to Chinese men's tennis. This is also the biggest pain in the hearts of those of us in the industry. Xiao Pan, you are the most powerful player I have seen over the years, I hope that when you go out, you can play the majesty of our Chinese men! Coach Zheng said and said, he was actually a little sad.

"Coach, the reason why I chose to play tennis is to fight for our Chinese men, so that others can know that in addition to Sister Na, we also have top men's masters in China. Rest assured, I won't let you down! Pan Xiqi patted his chest and said, this statement was quite arrogant.

Looking at Pan Xiqi, a proud disciple, Coach Zheng nodded with satisfaction. From Pan Xiqi, he seems to really see the future of Chinese men's tennis, although this future star is already in his thirties.

"By the way, coach, since I can't catch up with the French Open, let me play on clay in Europe. I remember that there were tournaments for several weeks before the French Open, and there were a few tournaments at the highest level, the Masters. I see that a lot of the members of the women's team are already competing in Europe now, so if we can, let's go too. Thinking that Wang Yan had flown to Europe, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but feel itchy and couldn't wait to set off immediately.

"Don't think about those tournaments, now you are not eligible to participate in any ATP Tour tournaments, not even the Challenger tournaments." Coach Zheng refused without hesitation.

"What? I can't even play the challenge, which is too bad. As far as I know, isn't the Challenge a low-level competition? So in my current situation, what kind of competition can I participate in? Pansiqi asked speechlessly.

"ITF Hope Match, I've already planned for you and Lin Teng, and the two of you will participate together." Coach Zheng replied.

"Hope, what the hell is this? I hadn't really heard of it before. Pansic was confused.

"The Hope Tournament is the lowest level of professional tennis tournament organized by the ITF, and almost all players start their careers with the ITF Hope Tournament. As long as the contestant is at least 14 years old, he or she can sign up for the Hope Race. Neither you nor Lin Teng are ranked in the world, so you can apply for a Hope Tournament Wild Card from the Hope Tournament Organizing Committee to participate in the Hope Tournament Qualifier. Once you've reached the main draw, you'll need to win one match in the main draw to earn points. And as long as you have one point, you can get the world ranking. Coach Zheng patiently explained.

"Damn, we still need to play the qualifying round in such a game, it's just too insulting to us, we are also the top four in China. Can't I apply directly to the organizing committee for a wild card for the main competition? Pansic was speechless and asked.

"It stands to reason that it is possible, but those are the treatment of tennis powers, as for our country, you also know that the men's level is too poor, so except for the hope tournament held in China, it is generally impossible to get a wild card for the main match. It just so happens that there is no hope race in China during this time, so I can only grieve you. But don't worry, the qualifiers are all players who don't have any rankings like you, and at your level, you don't cut melons and vegetables. Coach Zheng comforted.

"Okay, so will we be able to participate in the challenge after winning the Hope Race?" Pansiqi asked.

"As long as you earn enough points, you're fine. Generally speaking, a stable ranking of 300 TPO will be eligible to participate in the challenge, and according to the current world ranking, 300 requires 161 world points. The winner of the Hope Race earns 35 points, so you only need to win five or six races to participate in the Challenge. ”

"Wow, there are so many stops, I just want to make a stop or two." Pansiqi was speechless again.

"It looks like a lot, but you only need to participate in two stops. Since the prize money of the Hope Tournament is so small, the total prize money of the whole tournament is only more than 10,000 dollars, and even if you win the championship, you will not get much money. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of players going back and forth, TIF requires that the Hope Tournament be held for at least three consecutive weeks. So you just have to play two races for six weeks. Of course, you have to win every race, otherwise it will only take longer. ”

"Okay, okay, six weeks, I'll put up with it. By the way, which country's hope race are we applying for this time? Whether it's Europe or the United States, or something like that, you can still travel abroad. As soon as Pansiqi thought of this, his mind began to come alive again.

For him, he had never been abroad before. At the beginning, I was quite a professional player, but I envied the players who could travel around the world and experience the customs of different countries. So although I hope that the race is very lo, if I go to a good country for six weeks, it is worth it.

"Well, well, you also know that although our Beijing team has a lot of money than the inland provinces, it is also very tight, so it can't go to those high-spending countries. The country that the team is going to sign up for this hope tournament is Vietnam. Coach Zheng said with some embarrassment.

"What? Vietnam! It's amazing that there are professional tennis tournaments in such a country! I really didn't expect that my career would start in Vietnam, which is really not as good as heaven. ”

Pansiqi was quite disappointed with this answer, in his mind, Vietnam is still an underdeveloped region, and the scenery does not seem to be as charming as Malaysia in Thailand. Going to such a country to participate in a competition is almost nothing to do.

"Yes, these two races, one in Ho Chi Minh City and the other in Hanoi, are the two largest cities in Vietnam, so the hardware conditions will not be too bad. However, due to financial constraints, for a low-level event like the Hope Tournament, we won't send anyone to accompany us, so you two need to handle everything for the game by yourself. Coach Zheng waved his hand and said.
