Chapter 181: Mysterious Whereabouts
While Pan Xiqi and Lu Yanxun were discussing their own draws, the release of the main draw also caused a commotion in the Chinese media covering the US Open.
Because in the men's singles draw, in addition to the focus of Cow Natto being placed in the same half because of Murray, the Chinese media was also pleasantly surprised to find the name of a Chinese player, and judging from the Chinese player's marking information, he passed the test of the qualifying round to advance to the main event.
This is the first time that a Chinese male player has appeared in the US Open draw, and this historic event naturally attracted the attention of all Chinese media for the first time. You must know that the warm-up matches before this US Open have generally performed poorly, so the Chinese people have little expectations for the upcoming tournament. And now that such a Chinese player has suddenly appeared, various media will naturally not let it go easily, and have decided to use this angle as a starting point for all-round coverage.
For a time, Pansiqi became the most common name in the mouths of reporters in various media, and finding Pansiqi to interview him as soon as possible has become the most urgent task for reporters at present. But looking around, everyone found that they didn't know where Pansic was now, and they couldn't get his contact information.
At this time, Qian Xiaojia, who held Pan Xiqi's exclusive interview materials, naturally realized the preciousness of the information in his hands. The report she wrote about Pansiqi's promotion to the main draw was broadcast on CCTV5's noon sports news as soon as the US Open draw was released, and the news was accompanied by Pansiqi's avatar cut out of the video. As a result, CCTV became the first news outlet to broadcast Pansizi's creation of the history of the US Open.
As soon as this news came out, coupled with the influence of CCTV, it instantly caused a shock in the domestic tennis world and fans. They are no strangers to the name Pansiqi, and the shock brought to everyone at the National Grand Prix is still in front of them. It was only in the months that followed, that Pansichy seemed to disappear from the world. And now, Pancicic has reappeared in front of everyone with his outstanding performance in the US Open qualifiers, and has regained the focus of conversation.
The media, which has lost the opportunity, are naturally unwilling to admit defeat. Unable to contact Pansiqi directly, they turned their attention to digging into the story behind Pansiqi. But the more they got to know Pansic, the more surprised they became, because the data showed that since Pansic turned to professional tennis, he must win the championship whenever he participates in the tournament, and has not lost a single match so far. And his world ranking has directly improved to more than 100 in less than half a year, surpassing Wu Di to become the first brother of Chinese men's tennis.
Only then did the media realize what a big mistake they had made by focusing on Wu Di before, and it was clear that Pan Xiqi was the star of tomorrow worthy of everyone's expectations. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the media began to turn the gun and focus on reporting on Panxiqi, and for a while, reports on Panxiqi's magical career in just half a year were flooded with major tennis plates, and its popularity even approached that of veteran Jinhua players such as Peng Shuai and Zhang Shuai.
The relevant leaders of CCTV5 are also quite satisfied with the response caused by Qian Xiaojia's report. They asked Qian Xiaojia to continue to follow up on the report on Pansiqi so that she could send back the latest report about Pansiqi back to China before anyone else.
As for the live broadcast plan of the first round of the US Open, they have also made corresponding adjustments. Since Panci was not aware of the existence of the first round match, the original plan focused on the live broadcast of the matches between the top stars and the Chinese Jinhua. And now, the leadership of the sports station has decided to temporarily increase the live broadcast of Pansiqi's game on CCTV5+.
The reason why Pansizi's game was scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV5+ channel was that the leaders had their own considerations. Needless to say, the historical significance of this match is needless to say, the first time a male player appeared on the main court of the US Open, but something that has never happened before, even if he wants to broadcast it, he can't broadcast it. However, considering the poor performance of the Chinese men's tennis before, the sports station leaders really did not have the confidence to put it on the five sets with more viewers and more influence. In case the vast number of viewers across the country see a fiasco at that time, won't it become a deliberate attempt to block everyone.
And now the choice of CCTV5+ not only reflects CCTV's attention to this game, but also makes it so that the impact will not be too bad to end, which can be said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Just when many tennis fans in China were optimistic about Pansiqi's prospects at the US Open, another objection crept up. It turned out that because Pancich faced a strong No. 28 seed in the first round, some fans were pessimistic that Pansiqi's trip to the US Open could only stop in the first round.
In fact, there is a good reason why these fans think so. Chinese men's tennis is worse than Chinese football, and the previous few Chinese players appeared in the main draw of the Australian Open, all of which ended in a fiasco in the first round. Years of experience tell them that it is better to believe that the Chinese men's football team can enter the World Cup again than to expect Chinese men's players to win in the Grand Slam.
Gradually, this opinion also occupied a certain proportion among the fans, and the fans of the two sides who disagreed began to argue fiercely. It can be said that the main draw of the US Open has not yet started, because of Pansiqi, domestic fans are already arguing on the Internet.
Of course, Pansiqi, who is far away in the United States, naturally knows nothing about these things happening in China. He didn't even know that CCTV had decided to broadcast his first-round match live. For him, everything is business as usual, nothing has changed. It's just that today, after the signing of the table is released, he has a big thing to complete that he has planned for a long time.
After eating lunch and saying hello to Sister Wang and Lu Yanxun, Pan Xiqi went out with his backpack. This was the first time he had gone out after arriving in New York other than going to the arena, and the reason he told Lu Yanxun was that he wanted to wander around.
However, out of the residence, Pansic directly took out the map in his backpack, and after confirming the route of travel, he walked forward without hesitation. After walking for about ten minutes, Pansiqi came to a subway station. After confirming that the station name was correct, Pansiqi disappeared directly into the subway station.
By the time Pansiqi reappeared on the ground, it was already an hour later. New York's subway extends in all directions, and the subway lines are intertwined like a big labyrinth. If Panci hadn't done his homework beforehand, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach his destination so smoothly.
After getting out of the subway, Pansiqi followed the directions on the map for a few hundred meters. Finally, after a corner, Pansic stopped in front of a somewhat shabby-looking building. At this time, Pansiqi took out a note from his pocket, and after carefully comparing the signboard on the door with the information recorded in the note, Pansiqi took a deep breath and walked into the door. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
