Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 99 The Roar of Victory, Open the Chest! (Please Subscribe)

During the match, Jiang Hong remained extremely calm.

After the match ended, Jiang Hong felt as if his blood was boiling.

Right now, he just wants to vent!
Jiang Hong won the first round of the China Open with a total score of 6-2, 6-3.

This was also the first time Jiang Hong had defeated an opponent in the tour, and that opponent was a future star and Asia's number one!
However, with Jiang Hong's emergence, the opponent's position as Asia's number one player will likely change hands.

He should just stick to being Japan's number one!

"Little Jiang is awesome!"

"We won! We weren't eliminated in the first round!"

"That's amazing! They defeated that Japanese guy!"

What excited them even more than Jiang Hong's victory over Kei Nishikori was the incredible shots he made during the match!
"Didn't you notice that after Xiao Jiang hit the ball over the net, it bounced back after hitting the ground?"

"That's so cool! It would be amazing if it could bounce over the net!"

"Your tennis ball and my tennis ball seem different!"

The applause around the stadium lasted for a long time, and the cheers continued.

The oppressive, suffocating tranquility of daily life was shattered at this moment.

At the moment Jiang Hong won, the hormones in their bodies finally began to be secreted.

The body, which had been suppressed for so long, finally broke free from its shackles.

Perhaps this is the charm of tennis, the charm of sports!
Jiang Hong enjoyed this feeling.

Defeat your opponents, keep defeating them!

Defeating Kei Nishikori is only the first step.

He wants to compete against other, even more powerful superstars and defeat them!
As the current top player in China, Jiang Hong is surrounded by quite a few reporters during matches.

At the moment of victory, flashes from various cameras were directed at Jiang Hong.

Being a tennis player is not just about monetary rewards, but also about the spiritual rewards that come from constantly striving for improvement.

If Jiang Hong originally liked tennis, now he loves it!

Kei Shimotsuko lowered his head, his eyes slightly red.

Although he has lost before, he has been a genius since childhood.

He felt bad about losing to Jiang Hong, who was the same age and also of Asian descent.

(At this time, racial theories were still rampant, with many believing that European and American athletes had racial advantages!)
However, Kei Nishikori still stood in front of the net waiting for Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong walked over, extended his hand, and shook hands with the other person!
"You're very good. I hope we can face each other again next time!" Kei Nishikori stared at Jiang Hong and said earnestly.

When faced with someone stronger than himself, Kei Nishikori will choose to bow his head and wait for the day he can defeat Kang Hong.

"There's a chance!"

Jiang Hong chuckled. After all, as the two are the same age, as long as there are no major injuries, they will definitely meet frequently on the tour in the future.

After all, Kei Nishikori's highest ranking was once 4th, which is also the highest ranking for an Asian male athlete.

I wonder if they'll ever be able to win a Grand Slam runner-up title again!

Jiang Hong turned around and shook hands with the referee, which is also one of the rules of the game.

Kei Nishikori walked up to the coach, looked up, and said.

"Coach, I feel like all my skills are overshadowed by him!"

Botini patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay, that's tennis. Winning and losing are normal. Go back and train hard, you'll beat them!"

Tennis is a highly commercialized sport with a dense schedule of tournaments.

No one can remain undefeated forever, not even the Big Three.

However, Federer achieved an astonishing record of 92 wins and 5 losses throughout last season!

Just as Jiang Hong finished shaking hands with the referee, a reporter rushed out, holding a microphone with the word "Xinhua" on it.

Even the domineering CCTV didn't try to take the lead; instead, it followed behind.

"Hello, Jiang Hong, congratulations on your victory and advancement to the second round of the China Open. You are the only Chinese player to reach the second round in the men's singles at this year's China Open. How do you feel right now?"

After he finished speaking, the Xinhua News Agency reporter handed the microphone to Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he was the only one left out of the four people who participated in the main competition.

It wasn't that Jiang Hong was surprised that they lost the game.

After all, most of the players were ranked below 500, so isn't it normal for them to lose the game?

But this is too fast!

"I feel both excited and exhausted right now!"

Jiang Hong didn't launch into a long speech; instead, he simply shared his most genuine feelings.

The Xinhua News Agency reporter heard Jiang Hong use a pair of words that had somewhat contradictory meanings, but it was understandable.

"Jiang Hong, do you know who your opponent will be in the second round?"

"It should be Davydenko, but not necessarily!"

Davydenko's match hasn't started yet, so Jiang Hong is basically just guessing.

After all, if Davydenko feels too tired, he might choose to withdraw from the competition.

If a substitute is selected directly from the qualifying rounds, Jiang Hong's chances of advancing to the third round will be greatly increased.

After asking a few more simple questions, the interview concluded.

Although Jiang Hong's match today was not as intense as the final of the Wuhan Challenge, it does not mean that Kei Nishikori is weak.

Jiang Hong then interacted with his supporters for a while before leaving the stadium.

Because the China Open is a joint men's and women's tournament, both events are held on the same court.

So the first round of the competition was extremely long!

The men's singles first round matches will be held from September 9th to September 11th.

However, this is also a good thing, as it allows players time to recover their physical strength!

Davydenko's match is scheduled for the 11th, so Jiang Hong will only be able to find out about his opponent's match situation then.

……

Jiang Hong returned to the hotel with a happy smile on his face.

After defeating Kei Nishikori, he completed his two suggestions.

You can claim your reward now!
"system!"

Jiang Hong called out, and two treasure chests appeared on the random panel. His lips twitched; they were two old, worn-out wooden boxes.

It seems that this is in the system's judgment.

Donald Young is currently at about the same level as Kei Nishikori.

Or is it because my strength has increased that the system made this judgment?
Since he couldn't figure it out anyway, Jiang Hong simply stopped thinking about it!
"waiter……"

Jiang Hong went out to find a waiter to get him an incense burner.

What if you get something good?
It must be said that the hotel service was indeed excellent. They quickly found a small incense burner for Jiang Hong, with precious spices burning inside.

After Jiang Hong finished bathing and changing, he suddenly opened his eyes!

"System, open it for me!"

Jiang Hong made a mental call, and the next second a white light enveloped his vision.

As the white light gradually faded, Jiang Hong saw two orbs of light appear on the panel!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 Advanced Forward Technique Points]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 Advanced Physical Attribute Point]

Jiang Hong never expected that the treasure chest could yield skill points and attribute points.

But it's a good thing, at least it saved me more than half a month of training.

There was no need to keep this thing, so Jiang Hong immediately chose to use it.

"System give me some points!"

[Forehand: 83]

Physical Fitness: 86

Although Jiang Hong didn't feel much of a difference, when he recalled his match today, he realized that his forehand could have been handled even better!
"It's indeed a good thing!"

Jiang Hong immediately logged into the forum and teased the other users, hoping to find another opportunity to get some freebies.

Coaches, following your advice, I have successfully advanced past the first round of the China Open. Do you have any further suggestions?

Jiang Hong read it once; it was full of sarcasm. Not bad, very fitting for Tieba!
Sure enough, the post was quickly filled with dozens of replies!

"Huh? Why do I feel like Xiao Jiang is mocking me?"

"You just realized? I'm in Beijing. I'm going to go and solo kill Xiao Jiang during the match on the 13th."

"Take this seriously and get it done quickly!"

"Since you need advice, I suggest that Xiao Jiang win the China Open this time."

"I'll form the waistline and take second place!"

"I'll form the crotch team and take us to the top four!"

Jiang Hong ultimately included two pieces of advice for himself: "Win a game against Davydenko" and "Defeat Davydenko".

Even if we can't win, we have to at least take a bite out of the game!
After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed!
……

9 month 10 day.

Multiple news reports appeared online!

The Joys and Sorrows of China's Young Players in the First Round of the China Open

Four Chinese players participated in the men's singles competition at this year's China Open, setting a new record for the number of Chinese players in the main draw of the China Open men's singles tournament.

On September 9th, several young Chinese players participated in the first round of the China Open. Although Sun Peng, Yu Xinyuan, and Zeng Shaoxuan were all eliminated in the first round!
Eighteen-year-old Jiang Hong easily defeated the Japanese tennis player 6-2, 6-3 in straight sets, successfully advancing to the second round.

[Jiang Hong's between-the-legs shot]

Ultimately, this demonstrates that Chinese men's tennis is on the rise and that the Olympic talent development plan has yielded significant results.

—Xinhua News Agency report!

After the press release was published, Jiang Hong received several phone calls.

The principal called, and even leaders from his hometown county encouraged Jiang Hong to keep up the good work.

It seems Xinhua News Agency is really powerful!
Jiang Hong easily defeats young Japanese player and is confident of defeating Davydenko.

According to sources, Jiang Hong said he is confident of easily defeating his second-round opponent, Davydenko!

In fact, a reporter asked Jiang Hong what he planned to do if he encountered Davydenko.

Jiang Hong's response at the time was to perform at her best and leave no regrets.

Even when facing Davydenko, we must not lose confidence; it is impossible to win a match if we are timid before the battle even begins.

As a result, these tabloids directly altered Jiang Hong's original words.

No wonder you studied journalism!

Jiang Hong will not be playing on September 10th and 11th.

So besides doing some simple maintenance training, he would go to the stadium to watch a few games.

I also went to watch Lu Yen-hsun's match, and he was eliminated in the first round. His opponent was Pasánski from Serbia.

以7-6（4），3:6，6-7（8），鏖战近三个小时，遗憾落败。

The King of Challengers was eliminated in the first round of the Tournament.

Number 11, Jiang Hong, saw Davydenko actually appear on the field.

As expected of a workaholic, he can still hold on after just finishing the World Cup!
In the US Open semifinals, the last two sets went to tiebreaks.

However, even so, Davydenko still demonstrated his strength.

He swept aside American player Feresman with two 6-3 scores, taking 70 minutes in total.

Alright, Jiang Hong can stop fantasizing about picking on an easy target!
Abandon illusions, prepare for battle!
……

After it was confirmed that Davydenko and Jiang Hong would face off in the second round.

The buzz surrounding this second-round match at the China Open instantly exploded.

Young Chinese player vs. world-renowned Davydenko!

At this time, people in China tend to view things from abroad through a filter!
Tennis, as one of the most influential sports in the world, is also considered by many to be an aristocratic sport.

However, the results of Chinese tennis have never been particularly good.

Now, Chinese players are actually playing against players from the world's top 5.

In addition, the country attaches great importance to this China Open, and both sports magazines and CCTV advertisements have made the competition a hot topic.

And it keeps adding value.

Jiang Hong felt like he was about to become Huo Yuanjia, who was about to fight a 280-pound British strongman!
Fortunately, Jiang Hong doesn't pay much attention to outside news.
