Chengdu Challenger, men's singles quarterfinals.

For Japanese veteran Hiroshi Tabata, it feels like nothing short of right now. Originally, I wanted to come to challenge the pretending uncle to abuse the vegetables, so as to regain the self-confidence that was torn apart in the tour. But now, in the face of this Chinese player he has never heard of, he has a feeling of being played.

As a player of the same era as Lu Yanxun, he is now at the end of his career. However, unlike Lu Yanxun, who still retains a certain level of competitiveness on the tour, it is almost difficult for Tian Tian Hao to achieve any good results now.

Corresponding to his record, his world ranking has slowly slipped to around 150. Although he can still participate in the tour, he struggles in the qualifying rounds in almost every tournament, and rarely has a chance to make it to the main event.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in the challenge, Hiroshi Timda is still an absolute master. Not to mention anything else, with his bottom-line skill of grinding people to death, ordinary challenge players are already unable to parry.

It can be said that those who can stand out from the countless Hope Tournament and Challenge Tournament players and participate in the tour stably will be general, and generally have one or two of their own advantages.

Take Tim Tian Hao, the stability of the bottom line is his biggest characteristic. For ordinary balls, as long as there are no accidents, Tim Tian Hao will basically not make active mistakes. This may seem like an easy point, but for a professional tennis player, there isn't much that can be done.

Because although tennis players have been professionally trained since childhood, the consistency of hitting the ball is simply not at the same level as that of amateur players. But that's just about the situation on the training ground. When you get to the top of the field, who will be stupid like a machine, giving you a shot that doesn't change any changes.

Therefore, in the game, in the face of unexpected changes of the opponent, it is one of the basic conditions that must be met to become a good player. Those who have been in the challenge for a long time and can't go any further, have more or less problems in this regard.

Just like Wu Di, from the eyes of ordinary people, his bottom line is already quite stable among Chinese players. But once he meets a tour-level player, his lack of resilience is exposed in the face of strong pressure from the opposition. Often after a few rounds, there will be inexplicable voluntary mistakes.

And Tian Tian Hao is obviously a notch stronger in this regard. In the face of the opponent's strong attack, as long as it is not too outrageous, he can basically return the ball to the opposite field. It is precisely by virtue of this that Tim Tian Hao was able to rank among the top 100 in the world in the past few years.

Now, although the strength has declined due to age, it is only in terms of the degradation of offensive ability. In the confrontation of the bottom line, Tian Tian Hao is still as old and spicy as ever. As a result, the Japanese veteran is a wall to the limited offensive prowess of a challenger-level athlete, and no matter how hard he does, he can barely penetrate it.

Before the opening, Hiroshi Timda decided to play the same way as the previous two rounds. As long as you remain as stable as ever, the other party will naturally be the first to make mistakes. Victory in this kind of competition can be described as easy to come by.

Now, however, the situation was not as one-sided as he had imagined. Because Pan Xiqi on the other side seems to be showing a bottom-line confrontation ability that is beyond ordinary people.

"Damn, why didn't you make a mistake?" Tian Tian Hao scolded in his heart. But to make matters worse, he began to feel a little heavy in his legs.

The two sides have been playing this ball for nearly twenty rounds. From the sidelines, the two players on the court seemed to be playing a practice match, giving some regular ball paths and not playing wide opens.

However, this is just an illusion, as the person concerned, Tian Tian Hao, the murderous intention hidden in the seemingly ordinary confrontation of the way of nature.

As a typical baseline player, his habit is to hold on to the opponent on the baseline, disrupt the opponent's defensive position through the combination of ball paths, so as to either wait for the opponent to make a mistake or get a winning offensive opportunity.

In the previous two matches, the Japanese player's approach was unstoppable. Often before he can take the initiative to attack, the opponent has already taken the lead in sending a big mistake gift.

But now that so many shots have passed, Pansiqi has not even once failed to position himself. Not only that, but the opponent's rather sophisticated return line made Tim Tian Hao not find a suitable offensive opportunity at all.

In Tian Tianhao's eyes, the positions of the two sides seem to be reversed. At this time, Pan Xiqi seemed to have turned into a high wall, and he was helpless against it. Because no matter what angle he hit the ball, Pansiqi always moved into place in advance and brought the ball back, as he had predicted.

Not only that, but Pancic's return ball always maintains a considerable depth on the baseline, with each ball close to the baseline. As a result, Hiroshi Timda will not be able to make any special changes to the ball. Because with his current offensive ability, such a deep baseline ball is really out of his control.

In this case, Tian Tian Hao can only choose to hold the bottom line with Pan Xiqi. Fortunately, in addition to showing amazing baseline confrontation ability at this time, Pansiqi did not change the rhythm or power of the return, nor did he take the initiative to go to the net or anything. Therefore, Tian Tian Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was still quite optimistic about winning the game.

However, seeing that the number of beats was almost 30 beats, Panci still did not make a mistake, and the return was as stable as ever. This made Tian Tianhao feel bad, because at the age of thirty-four, he felt that his physical strength was about to run out.

Feeling his legs getting heavier and heavier, Tamada Hao's breathing began to be disordered. At this moment, he felt that his lungs were hot, and there was a burning sting pain spreading through his body.

"No, this shot can't kill him, but I can't stand it!" With a ruthless heart, Tian Tian Hao aimed at the incoming ball and hit the remaining strength out without reservation.

The speed of this return ball was indeed much faster than before, but it seemed a bit whimsical to suppress Panci with this little power. I saw Pansiqi as if he was fine, and he lightly pushed the ball back. Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to change the line and return the ball to the court on the other side of the court.

"Hey, I really can't catch up!" With a lament in his heart, Tian Tianhao didn't move, just stood in place and watched the tennis ball fall out of bounds.

Tian Tianhao, who was bent over and panting, glanced at Pan Xiqi opposite at this time, but found that the other party did not show any physical exhaustion at all. As a veteran of the tour, he couldn't figure it out anyway, on this ball, he was actually grinded to death by a Chinese player he had never heard of!
