Chapter 368: Second Round
Goldwind won the first round, and everyone was focused on his next opponent.
Cilic and Santoro have not yet started the match, but they have gained the attention of Chinese audiences.
As the No. 14 seed in the tournament, Croatia's Cilic is a good player, but he has yet to win a Grand Slam title, so he is bound to win this year.
The other Santoro is from France, this player is not well-known, and against the No. 14 seed, of course, he was eliminated without any suspense.
Cilic is very comfortable, this game is relatively easy, who is the next opponent?
Cilic really doesn't care about his opponent, he only knows that his opponent will be between a Chinese player and a French player, and if he is not mistaken, the French player should win.
"Who's my next opponent?" Cilic asked curiously at his coach.
"Golden Wind." The coach kept an eye on the game over there, and by the end of the game over there, it had just started to warm up.
"What's the name?" Cilic found the name too strange to resemble a French one.
"Golden wind, a player from Huaxia." The coach explained.
"Are there tennis players in Huaxia too?" Cilic was shocked, he was really suppressed.
"Yes, the level is not very bad, I heard that it was a clean sheet against the opponent." The coach also doesn't care, the two rookies peck each other, and there is nothing to look forward to who wins or loses.
"Oh, I see." Cilic didn't want to find out about the Chinese player.
As soon as he came out of the tunnel of the players, Cilic was surrounded by countless reporters, all asking about his next opponent.
"What do you think of your next opponent?"
"I never cared about the next opponent." Cilic said very coolly.
"Your opponent in the second round is Golden Wind from Huaxia." A reporter said quickly and introduced Cilic to Goldwind.
"Who? I haven't heard of this name, will there be tennis players in this place in Huaxia? It's weird. Cilic said disdainfully.
"He only played with an honorary professional player certificate and a wild card." A reporter explained.
"Oh, I see, I don't think it's necessary for such a player to say it in front of me, because it's a very boring thing." Cilic seems to be very good.
"You mean, you can beat your opponent?" The journalist asked.
"What's the point of simply beating it? I don't think it's interesting, I should be crushed without suspense. Cilic said very domineeringly.
"Crushing, you have to know that Jinfeng kept a clean sheet against his opponent in the game that ended just now." The reporter kindly reminded.
"Opponents? Who is his opponent? What is the number of seeds? What is the world ranking? Cilic asked without hesitation.
"The opponent is a player from France, a qualifier." The reporter said embarrassedly.
"Qualifiers, hehe." Cilic wouldn't answer anymore, just turned around and left.
The brief interview exposed Cilic's lack of attention to Goldwind.
Jin Feng likes such an opponent, the more he despises him, the happier he is, the happier he is.
The next day, Jin Feng did not play, and he chose to watch the plum race.
As the current first sister of domestic tennis, Li Zi's performance is still very eye-catching, her match is on the second day, and as the 16th seed of the tournament, Li Zi's opponent is not strong, and she easily defeated her opponent 2-0.
The women's match is a best-of-three match, which is much easier than the men's.
On the third day, Golden Wind came to his second-round bout against the 14th seed Cilic.
"Look, I said I'd be standing at Laver, right?" Jin Fengtian said shamelessly.
That's right, the match was played at Laver, the best stadium, which is a special treat, because the performance of the Golden Wind in front of him is very good, and his popularity is also very high.
"Your game is in the afternoon, so I'll tell you about Cilic's awesomeness." Rommons temporarily played the role of coach, and she simply ignored Jin Feng's words.
"Then tell me about it." Jin Feng said nonchalantly.
"Cilic's style of play is very tough, he's taller, he's got a lot of power, that's something you need to deal with, but on top of that, Cilic moves very fast on his feet and has a solid foundation, so it's worth being wary of." Rommons listed Cilic's strengths.
Jin Feng nodded, this kind of athlete is very suitable for playing on hard courts, and this Cilic is not the Ruffin in front, Ruffin doesn't have much ability, he can only be beaten, Cilic has this strength.
"Although he moves fast, his height is there after all, so I think you still have to focus on mobilizing the other party." Rommons kindly reminded.
"Yes." Jin Feng said with a hippie smile.
"You'd better be serious, it's not an easy character to deal with." Rommons felt that it was better to wind up the Golden Wind.
"Don't worry, I won't take it lightly." Jin Feng is like this, it doesn't seem to matter on the surface, but in fact, he attaches great importance to his opponent in his heart.
The Golden Wind game only started in the afternoon, so everyone's attention in the morning was in the hands of the two female generals in Huaxia.
Li Zi still easily defeated her opponent with a score of 2-0, while another Chinese female player, Zheng Rou, defeated her opponent 2-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.
In the afternoon, Jinfeng came to the competition venue early, and the weather in the afternoon was relatively better, because it was after four o'clock, Jinfeng felt that the weather was slightly cooler.
And the one who was present at the same time as Jinfeng was Cilic.
Cilic glanced at Jin Feng and didn't continue to look at it, and he didn't want to say hello to Jin Feng, because in Cilic's eyes, the opponent he would defeat was not qualified to say hello.
Naturally, Golden Wind would not take the initiative to greet Cilic.
Of course, Huaxia TV still broadcast the game live, and Zhang Sheng and Tong Xin appeared in the live broadcast room again.
"It's going to be a fantastic game this afternoon, Goldwind vs. Cilic." Zhang Sheng took the lead in setting the tone for this match.
"Golden Wind will meet a strong opponent, Cilic has not won any Grand Slam honors, but he is a good player, he is the No. 14 seed of the tournament, but his strength should not be underestimated."
"And Cilic is also known for his strength, he will compete with Jin Feng to see who has more power."
