"Every step Xiao Jiang takes now is creating a new chapter in the history of Chinese men's tennis!"

Zhang Sheng's face flushed with excitement.

These words also reached the ears of the viewers who were watching the game on television.

Inside a supermarket in a small county town, the sound of a television commentary could be heard.

"Xiao Hong won?"

"I knew Xiao Hong would amount to something. I even held him when he was little!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ping quickly coughed and reminded him, "No, no, Xiao Hong hasn't won yet. He only won the first game. He needs to win two games to be considered the champion!"

Upon hearing this, the neighbors nodded as if they understood.

They didn't know anything about tennis; they just felt that a promising young man had suddenly appeared around them, so they came over to join in the fun!

The moment the first set was announced, the fans in the stadium erupted in a huge cheer.

"what!"

Just then, Gonzalez suddenly roared!
Then he bent over and kept slamming his racket to the ground.

clap clap...

Losing the first set wasn't what angered Gonzalez; what truly angered him was that he had been repeatedly fooled by Jiang Hong's feints, something he absolutely could not tolerate.

As Gonzalez smashed his racket, the audience in the stands immediately booed.

"Gonzalez has such a bad mentality; he broke down as soon as he lost the first set!"

"It seems like Xiao Jiang has a sure win in this match!"

"I can't accept defeat!"

Many tennis enthusiasts were heartbroken, thinking, "Such a good racket, why don't you give it to me!"
Meanwhile, the online media, like a shark lurking in the scent of blood, immediately sprang into action upon hearing the news.

In the China Open final, Jiang Hong easily won the first set, and Gonzalez collapsed and smashed his racket!

The China Open champion has been decided; Jiang Hong says it's a piece of cake.

However, many tabloid reporters, in order to attract traffic, have started to speculate about conspiracy theories!
"Rookie Jiang Hong defeats seasoned players: What's the inside story? Let's delve into the secrets of the China Open."

In short, the China Open has to pay to make the opponent lose the match.

However, it was immediately met with a barrage of criticism from tennis enthusiasts and forum users!
However, some people simply parrot what others say, or those who claim to be independent thinkers take it as fact.

"Xiao Jiang's first serve success rate is as high as 95%, and he hit 8 aces in the first set!"

"Gonzalez has an 89% first serve percentage and hit 7 aces in the first set!"

Zhang Sheng announced the statistics for both sides in the first match.

The short break ended in the blink of an eye.

"The game begins!"

As the referee announced the result, Jiang Hong and Gonzalez returned to the byline.

This is Gonzalez's service game.

boom!
The tennis ball whizzed past the outer corner of the first court in front of Jiang Hong, and Jiang Hong didn't even have much of a reaction.

221 kilometers, the speed of this serve popped up on the radar speedometer.

This ball's speed is considered very fast even among powerful serves.

González immediately demonstrated how he could become a world-class player.

A powerful forehand attack ended with an unexpected change of direction.

"ACE!"

"Game! Gonzalez, 1-0!"

Gonzalez played a love game in his first service game.

The loss in the first set caused Gonzalez to lose his temper, smashing his racket during the set.

However, the opponent completed his mental adjustment during the break.

This directly demonstrates the power of Chilean artillery.

Jiang Hong took a deep breath and gripped the tennis ball tightly in his hand.

Toss the tennis ball high into the air, rotate your body, swing your racket, and hit the ball!
All in one go!
"Inside-spin serve!"

In an instant, Gonzalez's eyes flashed, and he made a prediction about Jiang Hong's serve!

Immediately move to your left.

The tennis ball hit the T-shaped area perfectly – a truly perfect serve!

After hitting the ground, it did not rush forward as usual, but instead drew an arc towards the left side of Zone 2!
Gonzalez took three diagonal steps as the tennis ball flew to the sideline.

Suddenly extend your racket, exert force with your arm, and support yourself with your left foot.

Turn your body and swing your racket.

He perfectly demonstrated the power of his forehand.

The ball flew very fast and landed very deep.

Jiang Hong originally intended to use an inside-spin ball to move the opponent's position, but he did not expect Gonzalez to launch an attack directly.

The ball went straight to the baseline, forcing Jiang Hong to retreat two steps.

With a topspin forehand, he spun the ball back to the right baseline.

The two sides were locked in a tug-of-war around the baseline, with Gonzalez constantly increasing the power of his returns.

Jiang Hongdu felt his arm was a little numb.

"Go back!"

When he turned his body to the side and attempted a topspin forehand, he made a forced error and hit the ball out of bounds.

"0:15!"

Jiang Hong chose to serve the second ball to the outside corner with his forehand!

The ball is very fast.

Gonzalez moved quickly and attacked directly with his forehand.

He drew a diagonal line and smashed it directly into Jiang Hong's backhand position.

Although Jiang Hong may not be a large hexagon, he is certainly a small hexagon, and he is not at all intimidated by that.

"Then come on!"

Step to the side and launch a double counter-attack.

Similarly, draw a diagonal line and hit a shot that goes straight to the body!

After retreating, Gonzalez continued to attack Jiang Hong's backhand.

Both sides engaged in a long rally, rapidly maneuvering around the baseline.

"It's now!"

Suddenly, Gonzalez changed his approach, adding more power to his return shot.

"no!"

If you continue to trade blows with your opponent, you will find yourself in a passive defensive position.

Jiang Hong suddenly used a backhand slice, releasing a small ball!
However, because the opponent's return shot was too powerful, Jiang Hong was unable to release a suitable short ball.

After clearing the net, it flew a distance before landing just inside the service court.

Top players may have skills they're not good at, but they definitely won't have major flaws! Gonzalez certainly wouldn't let Jiang Hong's low-quality shot go unchallenged.

He quickly moved to the net, used the same backhand slice, and released a short ball.

The quality is good, it's very close to the net, and the bounce height is very low!
Swish!
He quickly glided forward, pressed down on his body, and stretched out his arms.

We've arrived!

He held the racket with a backhand grip and chopped the tennis ball low to the side, close to the ground.

"They even made it in time!"

Gonzalez couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Hong's speed, but his movements didn't falter at all.

He immediately appeared at the net and, the instant he crossed the net, struck the corner of the net.

Jiang Hong looked up, saw where the tennis ball was landing, and gritted his teeth.

"Faster!"

With a sudden push off the ground, the entire body moved rapidly.

Suddenly, his entire body leaped into the air, delivering a powerful right-hand strike!
"Snapped!"

The sound of the ball hitting the ground reached my ears, like a cannonball being fired!
Seeing this, Gonzalez immediately lowered his center of gravity to receive the ball, but he swung it and missed completely.

The return shot grazed the racket head and went straight through Gonzalez's defense.

Jiang Hong moved quickly and made a diving save, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the field!

Shouts and cheers erupted the moment Jiang Hong scored.

However, the match continued, and in the second set, Gonzalez's movement and touch were noticeably more aggressive than in the first set.

After a long stalemate, Jiang Hong successfully won the final point by changing his position and making a sharp change of direction.

They managed to hold onto their position despite the difficulty.

Jiang Hong was breathing heavily; these two rounds had taken even more to exhaust him than the previous four!

Gonzalez played with explosive intensity, while Jiang Hong occasionally produced some incredible shots through baseline rallies and changes of direction!

It must be said that this match between the two was absolutely worthwhile.

It is highly entertaining.

The score is now 5-4, with neither side managing to break serve!

"Ouch! Gonzalez made a sharp change of direction and scored!" Zhang Sheng suddenly cried out after seeing Jiang Hong concede a goal.

Zhang Sheng was in a state of panic; when the score fell behind, he was even more nervous than Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong took a towel from the table next to him and wiped his sweat, while also adjusting his mindset.

He had a very tough time in this set. Although he had a break point, he was ultimately unable to capitalize on the opportunity.

If you can't hold serve, you'll have to prepare for the third set.

Returning to the baseline, tossing the tennis ball high into the air, pushing off the ground, rotating the body, swinging the racket, and hitting the ball—all in one smooth motion!
The ball, like a cannonball, slammed directly onto the sideline.

"ACE!"

Seeing where the serve would land, Gonzalez decisively chose to concede.

This ball is beyond saving.

"Great job, Xiao Jiang got the break point!" Zhang Sheng shouted.

The audience held their breath.

Toss the ball and serve with a flat hit!
"Snapped!"

The tennis ball slammed heavily onto the net, resulting in a first serve error.

Jiang Hong continued to use a flat serve for his second serve, sending the tennis ball flying like an arrow.

"Double Fault!"

40: 40!

At this moment, Zhang Sheng felt a sudden surge of tension.

"Huh? Xiao Jiang made two mistakes. Is she under too much pressure?"

Facing Jiang Hong's seventh serve, Gonzalez surprisingly chose to attack immediately, followed by a volley at the net.

The tennis ball hit Jiang Hong directly in the open space on his backhand.

"AD: 40!"

Throw the ball, push off the ground, rotate your body, and hit the ball!
"Inside-spin serve!"

Jiang Hong changed his serving tactics.

"Wait, Xiao Jiang is online!"

After Jiang Hong finished serving, he immediately moved to the net without pausing.

Ding Ding Deng!
Using his serve, he moved Gonzalez into position, then hit a flat return, rushing towards the service court.

Before the tennis ball even hit the ground, Jiang Hong immediately chose to volley it at the net!
However, Gonzalez is no pushover either; he had already touched the ground with his knees when he received the serve.

Faced with Jiang Hong's interception, he immediately pushed off with his feet and quickly took his position.

He and Jiang Hong engaged in a series of volleys at the net; to the uninitiated, it would look like they were playing badminton.

"The opportunity has come!"

Gonzalez made the first change, suddenly backhanding a slice.

The tennis ball flew directly towards the outer corner of Jiang Hong's right service court!
Jiang Hong quickly moved sideways with a crossover step, lowered his center of gravity and followed up with a sliding step, arriving at the landing point of the tennis ball.

With a sudden burst of force from his wrist, he lobbed the ball high into the air!
It flew straight over Gonzalez's head and headed towards the baseline!

Jiang Hong wasn't just there to receive the ball; he was there to kill the game.

"Lob shot?"

Gonzalez immediately sprinted towards the baseline, using his right foot as a support to quickly turn around and deliver a forehand flat shot.

"They actually brought them back!"

Jiang Hong was somewhat surprised and quickly ran to save the ball!
"late……"

Jiang Hong was ultimately a step too slow.

boom!
The tennis ball hit outside the service area.

The referee's voice rang out, "Set, Gonzalez!"

Jiang Hong stood there, suddenly feeling powerless. He had used all his skills, but it seemed he still couldn't win the game.

"Little Jiang, you're going to win the Grand Slam!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out abruptly.

Jiang Hong looked up and glanced at the direction from which the sound came from, where a banner reading "Little Jiang's Tieba Support Group" was fluttering.

"Yes, my goal is the Grand Slam. How could a low-level ATP Tour tournament stop me!"

"What burden do I, a newcomer to the tennis world, have? Just do it!"

Jiang Hong clenched his fist, and the pressure in his heart suddenly dissipated, making him feel much more relaxed.

It was only then that Jiang Hong realized that his emotions had been unconsciously affected after winning the first game.

"Keep winning!"

It seemed as if flames were burning in Jiang Hong's eyes!
