Chapter 124: Participating in the Legal Open?

Back in the Beijing team, Pan Xiqi came to Director Xu's office again. Seeing Pan Xiqi enter the door, Director Xu was taken aback at first, then showed a smile and asked kindly, "Yo, Xiao Pan, why are you here?" Shouldn't you report to the national team today? Is there any formalities that have not been completed and need to be re-completed in the team? ”

Seeing the completely different attitudes of Director Xu and Coach Jiang of the national team towards him, Pan Xiqi made up his mind to stay in the Beijing team. Faced with Director Xu's question, Pan Xiqi pretended to be relaxed and replied: "I went to report today, but people didn't take a fancy to me, so where did I come from." ”

"What, there's such a thing?" Hearing this, Director Xu was really taken aback.

Subsequently, Pan Xiqi told Director Xu what happened just now, and he didn't even hide what he said to the head coach of the national team.

After listening to Pan Xiqi's story, Director Xu's brows became tighter and tighter.

"Hey, Xiao Pan, that's the head coach of the national team, ordinary people can't be offended. I usually see that you are quite steady, why are you so impulsive. Now that it's like this, I don't know how to end it? Director Xu lamented.

"What's the matter, Director, will I still be affected by this to the team?" Pansiqi asked.

"Not really. Just to be in the national team, what a rare opportunity. You just gave up like this, I'm really sorry for you! Director Xu's face was full of regret.

"As long as I don't cause trouble to the team, I'm relieved. As for myself, that's really nothing. Is it possible to play professionally only if you have entered the national team? I believe that with my strength, it doesn't matter if I make it to the national team or not. Pan Xiqi said very domineeringly, wanting to comfort Director Xu.

"This time, it was decided by Director Liu to join the national team, and Coach Jiang Hongwei had the loudest opposition. Coach Jiang must regard you as Director Liu's person, which is why he is so unreasonable. Hey, it's also to blame that I didn't get it through at the time. If I had known this, I should have told you all the ways of the national team, so that you could be prepared. Director Xu said with some annoyance.

"Hey, it's useless to know in advance. He doesn't like me, and staying in the national team will give me a hard time sooner or later. That's good, I can stay in the Beijing team with peace of mind, I don't have to deal with them, but I have a clean place. What's the matter, Director, you don't want me to stay in the team? Pansichie said with a playful smile.

"How could it be, I couldn't ask for it. With you in the team, we don't have to worry about any results in the next big and small competitions. Thinking of this, Director Xu smiled again, thinking that this was not bad.

In this way, Pan Xiqi returned to the team after a short absence from the Beijing team for half a day. However, this incident caused a lot of turmoil in the national team. After hearing that Pan Xiqi was directly kicked out of the national team by Coach Jiang, Director Liu of the Network Management Center was furious, thinking that this was Coach Jiang's direct war against his authority. Next, the contradiction between the director of the network management center and the head coach of the national team has become public, and the two are like fire and water. The entire national team was silent, for fear of being drawn into this unwarranted battle.

However, as a key figure in the whole incident, Pansic didn't feel that this matter had anything to do with him at all. At this moment, he is discussing with Coach Zheng his plan for the next professional competition.

"Coach, the French Open tennis tournament will start at the end of the month, do you think I can register in time?" Pansiqi asked expectantly.

The 2017 French Open tennis tournament will be held from May 28 to June 11. Thinking that he could make his debut on the tour with such a special clay Grand Slam, Panci felt that it would be one of the most unforgettable memories.

Listening to Pan Xiqi's question, Coach Zheng stared at him with an idiotic look. After making sure that Pan Xiqi really didn't understand, Coach Zheng patted Pan Xiqi's head and said with a smile: "I really don't know how you can ask such an idiotic question." What do you think the Grand Slam can be attended by cats and dogs? Why do you, who don't even have a world ranking, want to participate in the French Open as soon as you come up? ”

"I know that, Grand Slams require the top 100 players in the world to participate. But isn't there still a qualifier? As long as I pass the qualifying round, won't I be able to play the French Open? Pansiqi asked, puzzled.

"The qualifying tournament for a Grand Slam is not something that ordinary people can play if they want to. It seems that you don't know anything, so I'll give you a good idea of how to qualify for a Grand Slam. Next, Coach Zheng taught Pan Xiqi a good lesson.

"The Grand Slam, the highest-level tournament in the entire tennis world, has a total of 128 singles spots. In the first two weeks of the Grand Slam, the top 104 players in the world rankings can qualify directly for the main draw of the Grand Slam by virtue of their ranking. ”

"Of the remaining 24 places, 16 of them were won by the winners of the three qualifying rounds. In addition, the last 8 seats will be awarded by the organizing committee to those who meet the requirements as wild cards. ”

The qualifying tournament for the Grand Slam is also attended by 128 players, with a group of 8 people in total, divided into 16 groups. After three rounds of competition, each group will produce a final winner who will be able to secure a valuable entry spot. ”

The 128 players who can sign up for the Grand Slam qualifiers are naturally determined according to the world rankings. Historically, players ranked up to 250 in the world rankings have the opportunity to sign up for Grand Slam qualifiers. ”

"250 people, it's easy. Isn't it enough for me to sign up for a few races now? Pansic turned into a curious baby and continued to ask.

"Hmph, that's easy to say, but it's too hard to do." Coach Zheng shook his head and replied.

"For us Chinese players, there are only two or three people in the top 300. As the first person in China, Wu Di is now ranked 250th, which means that he will meet the entry standards for the Grand Slam qualifying tournament. Even Zhang Ze didn't have the opportunity to participate. ”

"No, it's too bad. No, why have I seen them in the main draw of a Grand Slam before? "Pansiqi was a little strange.

"Well, in addition to qualifying, you can also play in the main draw of a Grand Slam by getting a wild card. However, the only chance for a Chinese player to get a wild card is to win the Australian Open's wild card tournament in the Asia-Pacific region. As for the French Open, there is no way to get a wild card. ”

"So, I won't be able to make it to the French Open this year?" Pansic said with some regret.

"Hmph, if you don't perform well, I guess you won't be able to participate in the French Open next year." Coach Zheng said with some solemnity.
