Chapter 106: Doubles Discount

Back at the hotel, after a day of high-intensity competition, Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng met again to the gym on the top floor for physical recovery training to prepare for tomorrow's competition. Although he lost in the singles semifinals, Lin Teng's task is not over, and he will stand in the men's doubles final with Panci tomorrow.

Although most players focus on singles and light on doubles, it does not mean that doubles is not important. At least for tomorrow's finals, Lin Teng is a little nervous in his heart. Although his body was exercising on the treadmill, Lin Teng's mind had already flown to tomorrow's game, and he seemed a little upset.

After a while, Lin Teng, who was still calm, finally couldn't help it, and looked at Pan Xiqi, who was jumping on the treadmill like no one else, and he asked: "I said uncle, there will be a final tomorrow, aren't you really nervous at all?" If I'm not mistaken, this should be your first professional final, right? ”

Hearing this, Pan Xiqi chuckled, turned his head and said to Lin Teng: "I usually see that you kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that there were times when I was nervous." Hi, what's there to be nervous about in this kind of competition? ”

"No, I don't see as much as you do. This is the National Tennis Grand Prix, and if we win tomorrow, we will be the real national champions, and China is the strongest. Don't you really care at all? Lin Teng couldn't believe it.

"It's not that I don't care, but it's definitely not as important as you think. You know, tennis is a highly professional global sport, and only good results on the tour will be truly recognized. The national championship is good, but few foreign players will take it to heart, that is, domestic athletes pay attention to it. Pan Xiqi said a few words about the current situation of Chinese tennis.

Compared with European and American players who have monopolized the tennis world all year round, the level of Chinese men's players is really too miserable. Even our immediate neighbours, Japan and South Korea, have seen the emergence of several promising stars in recent years, gradually attracting more and more attention on the tour.

And Chinese men's tennis, although it has not stood still over the years, compared with others, the progress is really a bit slow. For Japanese and South Korean players, they are no longer limited to appearing in Grand Slams, but want to reach the second round, the third round, and even the last 16. On the other hand, Chinese players can reach the main draw of the Grand Slam, which is almost their biggest pursuit.

It is precisely because they can't play in the world that Chinese men's players attach great importance to domestic competitions and take the quality of domestic competitions as the standard for the success of their careers. Therefore, in Pansiqi's view, most of today's domestic players are like frogs at the bottom of the well, and some of them are sitting in the well and watching the sky. Of course, it's not that they are willing to be frogs, but their strength is limited, and they really can't fight.

was told by Pan Xiqi, Lin Teng's nervousness was indeed relieved a lot. Seeing that Pan Xiqi relaxed in three or two sentences, Lin Teng couldn't help but compliment: "Uncle, you are still amazing." It turns out that you can maintain such a good mentality because you don't think this championship is so important at all. That's right, since it's not that important, why be nervous. Hey, in terms of mental construction, I'm too far behind you. ”

"Hey, silly boy, what is this. In the future, you will play a lot of international competitions, and even participate in Grand Slams, and if you play this kind of tournament again, it is estimated that you will not be able to fluctuate if you want to. Pansic shook his head with a smile and continued to run the treadmill.

It makes sense to think about it, Lin Teng calmed down, stopped thinking nonsense, and began to run hard.

The night passed in a flash, and at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the Beijing team appeared on time at the Guangzhou Tennis Center. As the last day of the Grand Prix, the final champions of the four events of men's and women's singles and men's and women's doubles will be decided today. The Beijing team, which reached the two finals of the men's event, seems to have become the biggest winner so far.

Due to the powerful performance of Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng, Director Xiao was specially praised by the leaders of the Beijing Sports Bureau last night. The game is not over yet, and there are already several Beijing media to conduct in-depth interviews with the Beijing tennis team. This is a treatment that was completely absent when the team's results were tepid before.

Thinking that he was a contemporary Bole, he recognized Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng, two thousand horses, in the amateur arena, and Director Xiao was very proud. However, he does have the capital to be proud, and you must know that it really takes a certain amount of courage to directly recruit Pan Xiqi and the others into the team. With the good results achieved by the two in this competition, Director Xiao's reputation in the Beijing team has gradually reached its peak.

The Men's Doubles match was scheduled for the second match, and in the previous Women's Doubles match, Tianjin's top seeds were really outstanding, and the top seeds composed of Wang Chang and Zheng Saisai barely encountered any challenges, and easily won the opponent 2-0 to win the first title of the tournament.

Pan Xiqi and Lin Teng's final opponents were the second seeds in the men's doubles competition, a pair from Sichuan. Although after Zheng Jieyanzi retired, the Sichuan tennis team has fallen out of the first echelon of domestic tennis powerhouses. But with their deep heritage, they can still achieve good results in domestic competitions from time to time.

In this competition, the men's doubles pair from Sichuan went all the way to the finals. However, compared to the smooth sailing of the Pansiqi combination, their road to promotion is much more miserable. In four matches, three of them went to the deciding set. However, with their iron will, they managed to make it to the final, albeit hard. This feeling of rebirth also made them confident before the game, thinking that there was no one who could stop them from winning this championship for the Sichuan team.

Sure enough, as soon as the match began, the pair showed their belief in victory. On the field, the two of them were like two tigers out of the cage, and they all looked at Lin Teng and Pan Xiqi opposite each other with bright eyes, as if they were going to eat them.

Not to mention, the opening momentum of Sichuan players, if it is an ordinary player, it is really easy to be bluffed if you are not careful. However, Pan Xiqi didn't eat this set at all, and after the actual combat of the previous rounds, he felt that with the strength of this pair of Sichuan players, it was estimated that there was no hope of breaking his "Pan's position" style of play.

In the first few games, the high-spirited Sichuan combination showed great initiative on the court, and did not remember mistakes and fought against Pan Xiqi on the bottom line. The two of them continued to bombard each other like two small cannonballs, trying to blow up the defense line of Pansiqi's combination.

However, as the game progressed, the Sichuan team was depressed to find that the two of them not only did not defeat Pan Xiqi, who insisted on the bottom line, but were also stolen a lot of points by Lin Teng, who was guarding the net. As the score gradually fell behind, the momentum of the two became weaker and weaker. Finally, like Pansic's opponents in the previous rounds, the second seed inevitably fell into the quagmire of "Pan's Position".

By this point in the game, the suspense had been lost. As the final struggle of the Sichuan pair in the second set was ruthlessly suppressed by Pan Xiqi, Pan Xiqi and Lin Tengwei won the first men's doubles national championship in history for the Beijing tennis team with a score of 2:0!

Wonderful!
