"Yes, I'm Pansiqi. You won't know about me, will you? Zheng Jie's performance surprised Pan Xiqi.

"Of course, I believe that there should be few people in the entire domestic tennis world who don't know about you. After all, you are the number one player who dares to openly argue with Coach Jiang of the national team. Zheng Jie said as she looked Pan Xiqi up and down, as if she was looking at a strange object.

"Rumors, those are rumors! It's Coach Jiang who doesn't like me, and it has nothing to do with me. Pansic hurriedly waved his hand and explained, after all, he didn't want to give others the impression that he had no one in his eyes.

"Whether it's a rumor or not, in tennis, you're a big celebrity right now. At that time, I heard them say that there was an older male player in China, who not only won the national championship of Wu Di, but also grabbed the first ranking. I was thinking about when I would be able to see you, but I didn't expect you to appear in front of me now. Zheng Jie sighed and said.

"Hey, this little thing is in your eyes. You know, compared to your women's tennis, our men's tennis results are nothing short of worth mentioning. Pansiqi said modestly.

"You can't say that, who didn't come up from a low ranking. However, there has been no progress in Chinese men's tennis in recent years, and not only that, but there are signs of regression, which is really worrying. Pan Xiqi's words made Zheng Jie's expression suddenly solemn for some reason.

"This is true, take this Chengdu Challenge as an example, if it weren't for the wild card, only me and Wu Di would be able to sign up for the competition by ranking." Pansic replied earnestly.

"Hey, we are such a big country, why can't we find a few male players who can play tennis? A few years ago, our men's team was able to show its face in Asia, but now, not to mention Japan, even South Korea is far from being able to compare. Zheng Jie said worriedly.

"Japan is definitely the strongest country in Asia right now. Kei Nishikori, Yuichi Sugita and Taro Daniel are all in the top 100 players in the world, and the group advantage is very obvious. Although Tian Tian Hao fell out of the top 100, he also ranked in the top 150, and he may return to the top 100 at any time. ”

"South Korea also has a successor after the retirement of veteran Lee Hyung-taek. Zheng Xuan, a 21-year-old hopeful star, has already ranked among the top 100 in the world, and the upward momentum is very fierce. In addition, Kazakh's Istomin and Taiwanese veteran Lu Yanxun are both Asian players who have been famous in the tennis world for a long time. ”

"On the other hand, in China, although a large number of players are in their playing years, they have not even stood firm in the challenge tournament. It can be said that the distance between us and the rest of Asia is getting bigger and bigger! After analyzing the departure of my country's men's tennis in Asia to Pan Xiqi, the expression on Zheng Jie's face became more and more solemn.

"I used to think that the whole Asian men's tennis was very weak, but now that I hear you say this, I dare to feel that other countries have made so much progress." Pansiqi was deeply touched in his heart.

In his impression, men's tennis is completely the world of European and American players, and Asia, that is, Nishikori Kei can rise to the top, and the level of others should be half a pound or two with Chinese players. But now, according to Zheng Jie, Chinese players are no longer on the same level as other Asian countries.

Also, the biggest dream of Chinese players now is to enter the top 100 in the world, and like Japan and South Korea, people are all attacking the top 10 in the world, and this gap cannot be said to be huge.

"I still know the strength of Wu Di and Zhang Ze. Although they are all very hard-working, tennis is still very talented after all. In my opinion, the dream of breaking into the world's top 100 is probably very difficult to achieve in their generation of players. Zheng Jie sighed.

"Isn't there still me?" Pansiqi complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

For Zheng Jie, she didn't mean to look down on Pan Xiqi. But the name Panxiqi is so new to her, so new that she doesn't realize that she can think of Panxiqi as a member of Chinese men's tennis. Therefore, when expressing the above opinions, Pansiqi was naturally not taken into account.

"By the way, you're also participating in this challenge, I wonder if you can do me a favor?" Zheng Jie seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.

"Oh, what do you command. Don't know what I can do for you? Pansiqi was a little flattered.

"That's right, this matter is related to Lu Yanxun." Zheng Jie replied.

"Lu Yanxun, that Taiwanese player?"

"Not bad. Lu Yanxun and we are players of the same era, and we have often met since we were teenagers, and our relationship is not bad. This time he also participated in the Chengdu Challenge, and as the host, I naturally wanted to treat him well. Zheng Jie introduced her relationship with Lu Yanxun.

It turned out that at the reception banquet, Lu Yanxun and Zheng Jie chatted about the current situation of Chinese men's tennis for some reason. In Lu Yanxun's view, this group of Chinese players has no merit at all, the disdain is very obvious, and the evaluation of the players is not so good.

Although Zheng Jie mostly agreed with Lu Yanxun's words. But hearing him so directly contempt for my country's men's players, Zheng Jie, who has a very strong self-esteem, still couldn't accept it, so she defended my country's players a few words.

However, the results of my country's players are so bad that Zheng Jie can't change Lu Yanxun's opinion after talking for a long time. In desperation, Zheng Jie had to make a bet with Lu Yanxun, saying that Lu Yanxun might lose to the Chinese players in the Chengdu Challenge.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yanxun suddenly became interested, and immediately agreed. In his opinion, the bet was won by itself. After all, in the challenge tournament, not to mention Chinese players, even European and American players have the probability of losing when they meet him. Out of confidence in his own strength, Lu Yanxun even relaxed the conditions, as long as the Chinese player can win him in one set, he will lose.

At this time, Zheng Jie also regretted her impulsiveness, but since the words were spoken, she could only bite the bullet. However, for this gamble, Zheng Jie really has no confidence to win. Winning a set against Lu Yanxun was too difficult for the Chinese players she knew.

Next, this matter naturally has been bothering Zheng Jie. Although with her relationship with Lu Yanxun, it won't be good if she loses. But after all, it is about the face of the country, and if you really lose, you will feel very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the competition was about to start, and he actually met Pan Xiqi, who would also participate in the gym. Although it is not very clear what Pan Xiqi's strength is, since he can defeat Wu's enemy and pin his hopes on him, the possibility of success is even greater. Therefore, there was Zheng Jie's request to Pan Xiqi before.

"That's what happened. Hey, you just don't say it, I'm also going to win him. After hearing this, Pan Xiqi agreed without thinking about it.
