Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 78 Shaved Head, Entering the Quarterfinals
That evening, a brand new news article appeared on the sports forum.

[A rising star from China sets his sights on the ATP Wuhan Challenger title after a year of training]

The content mentioned that Jiang Hong defeated Yu Xinyuan, saying that he had only practiced tennis for a year and that his goal was to win the championship!

Because of the surge in sports activity in the past two years, the number of people paying attention to sports forums has increased significantly.

Upon seeing this news, it instantly ignited the passion of those athletes.

"Where did this Jiang Hong come from? He claims to have been training for a year. I think he's just trying to attract attention!"

"I guess I'm not very good at the game, so this is the only way I can attract attention!"

"And the Challenger title? He's running into a domestic player this round, and a foreign player next. He'll probably be packing his bags in disgrace!"

However, some people did defend Jiang Hong.

"Xiao Jiang has only been playing tennis for a year, but he's progressing incredibly fast!"

However, this comment immediately attracted a barrage of criticism.

How did you know? Did you see him practicing?

"You wouldn't happen to be Jiang Hong, would you?"

……

Visited the training base tennis center.

There were fewer spectators at the event than yesterday.

However, Jiang Hong still managed to see his fan support group.

"You have no idea, yesterday I saw someone online saying that Xiao Jiang was just trying to attract attention, and that he would be eliminated by his opponent today. It made me so angry!" He was the same netizen who had the heated debate with everyone last night.

Although ultimately two fists could not defeat four hands, he could only dive underwater.

However, the anger in his heart did not dissipate so easily.

"What?! Someone still dares to criticize our internet cafe's pride? After the match, we'll show them what our internet cafe is all about!"

"That's right, let's blow it up later!"

Hearing the support from other forum members made me feel much better.

But then he noticed that the audience member next to him hadn't said a word, so he turned around and asked curiously.

"Hey bro, aren't you from our tennis club? I've never seen you before!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ran broke out in a cold sweat.

He used to only occasionally follow tennis matches; he was just a sports fan.

When I saw that news article last night, I felt that the reporter must have been paid to write it.

The news said that Jiang Hong's match is still today.

He happens to be from Wuhan, so he came to expose Jiang Hong's true abilities.

But hearing the conversation of the people next to me, my heart was in my throat.

I've ended up sitting next to Jiang Hong's friend. Oh no.

In response to the question, Liang Ran suddenly pointed to the court and announced, "The game has started!"

Sure enough, her attention was instantly diverted, and Liang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hong's opponent in the second round is a French player ranked 474th in the ATP rankings.

Among the players who entered the main tournament based on their rankings, their opponent is already considered to be among the lower-ranked.

This must be an easy target that the organizing committee gave them after their internal conflict ended.

If you still can't seize the opportunity, then you can't blame anyone else.

After the referee tossed a coin, Jiang Hong still got the right to serve.

It seems I've been quite lucky lately, having the starting serve in two consecutive matches.

The warm-up ended, and the referee's voice rang out.

The game officially begins!
Jiang Hong stood behind the baseline, his eyes fixed on the opponent's half of the court!
Toss the ball, push off the ground, swing the racket!
boom!
The tennis ball flew out like a bolt of lightning in an instant!

It landed directly in the opponent's service box, only two or three centimeters from the service line.

The angle of the ball wasn't tricky; in fact, it seemed quite ordinary.

The opponent immediately stepped forward to meet the ball and swung their racket, returning the ball with a forehand.

Jiang Hong quickly moved into position, held the racket in one hand, and unleashed a forehand smash. He ripped a cross-court shot with great speed.

The opponent had no time to react.

Despite their best efforts to catch up, the tennis ball bounced off the ground and flew out of bounds!
"15:0!"

The referee's voice rang out, and Jiang Hong scored the first point.

"Little Jiang is awesome!"

"Call him Xiao Jiang online, but call him Brother Jiang offline!"

"nice shot!"

Liang Ran watched this scene and curled her lips.

Although I have great disdain for Jiang Hong's behavior of buying articles to promote himself and exaggerating.

However, it must be admitted that this guy is indeed quite skilled.

Just then, Jiang Hong began his second serve!

The angle started to become tricky, but the speed did not decrease!
Faced with Jiang Hong's serve, the opponent's resistance seemed very weak!

On the fourth ball, Jiang Hong secured the serve with an ace.

In the first service game, Jiang Hong made it a love game!

The tennis player on the other side seemed a little lost.

Isn't it said that there aren't any top players in Chinese men's tennis?
How did they manage to beat me so badly that I couldn't fight back at all!

Forehand, backhand, volley, pressure – Jiang Hong showcased his comprehensive arsenal.

The entire match became a one-man show by Jiang Hong.

In the first set, Jiang Hong swept them 6-0.

Just as the break between games began, the opposing player immediately raised his hand to indicate that he was feeling unwell and needed to withdraw from the match.

Despite repeated confirmations by the referee, the match could not continue.

"The winner of this match is Jiang Hong!"

The spectators in the stands only saw the opposing team talking to the referee, and then the referee announced that Jiang Hong had won.

To be honest, Jiang Hong was a little stunned.

Although the opponent's movement and hitting in the previous match were a bit rough, there were no signs of injury!
"Brother Jiang, how did you suddenly win?"

Jiang Hong's supporters—the forum members—are somewhat confused.

Suddenly, a user speculated, "Could it be that Jiang Hong forced them to withdraw from the competition?"

Thinking about it that way, it suddenly seems possible!
A huge cheer erupted from the stands.

Liang Ran, the dark-skinned guy, couldn't help but shout, "Brother Jiang is awesome!"

what?
Who are you calling a little black guy?
I've been a fan of Brother Jiang for ten years. Regarding the comments...?

Then it wasn't me who posted it, it was my cousin who did it!

……

Guo Wei and Yu Zhenhai, who were sitting in the stands, were quite excited!
"We're in the quarterfinals!"

"They've really made it to the quarterfinals!"

It's worth noting that in recent years, Chinese men's tennis has occasionally managed to have a player advance past the first round of the Challenger Series, but they often fall out of form and are eliminated in the second round.

Although Jiang Hong's results did not break the record for Chinese men's tennis, they were a significant achievement for the currently sluggish domestic men's tennis team.
Regardless of whether it lasts or not, at least I got hard!

After all, it's actually quite awkward for China to host these ATP events right now.

Challenger tournaments occasionally have a player advance to the second round, while Tournament tournaments almost always result in a first-round exit.

However, the excitement didn't last long. Yu Zhenhai smacked his lips again and sighed, saying, "I don't know how far we can go, or if we can win the next round."

"Hey, you old Yu, you used to think that making it into the top 8 was a breakthrough, but you've already gotten greedy again!" Guo Wei shook his head and patted him on the shoulder.

Yu Zhenhai immediately raised his head and said emphatically, "That's because you're spineless. I'd even accept the championship if Jiang Hong won, or even if I were the chairman of the Tennis Association!"

"You get all the good things!"
