Now that I've been reborn, I have to play tennis!

Chapter 75 Become famous in one battle

PS: There will still be three updates tomorrow, Sunday. There are a total of 81 free chapters before the official release, with nearly 20 words. There will be even more updates when the official release is on Wednesday!

……

Perhaps it's due to Meng Hao's recent surge in popularity, or perhaps it's the attention brought by the rising star Zverev, but the popularity of LeSports' live broadcast room is soaring.

As more and more netizens joined, the number of viewers in the live stream quickly approached 10.

The host, Li Hui, knows a little about tennis, but he doesn't really understand it.

He didn't know who Zverev was at first, but after being introduced to him by many enthusiastic fans, he was quite shocked.

A group of industry experts and tennis stars unanimously believe that this person will become a future superstar player, on par with the Big Three.

"Host, I'm Dongqiudi!"

"Let me tell you! Don't be fooled by Kei Nishikori's popularity these days! Alexander Zverev's floor is higher than Nishikori's ceiling!"

"As for the upper limit? Even if it doesn't reach the level of the Big Three, it will at least be at the level of Murray!"

The host was also shocked; this young German was incredibly impressive!

"Hmm, this match is going to be very exciting!"

Let's cheer for Meng Hao together!

"I hope he can work a miracle!"

……

In this match, Meng Hao also felt an unusual sense of pressure.

Zverev now has considerable tour experience.

Therefore, he appeared very composed in the final of the challenge tournament.

However, Zverev is only seventeen years old, and his performance fluctuates greatly.

When he's in good form, he can beat players in the top 20, but when he's in bad form, he can lose to players ranked in the top 300.

However, the fact that Zverev was able to reach the final in this Challenger tournament shows that he is in very good form right now.

In his first service game, Zverev was in excellent form, and Meng Hao couldn't find any opportunities.

His height of 1.98 meters makes his serve a perfect advantage.

However, Meng Hao was not to be outdone.

With a swift movement, he unleashed several high-quality shots, each with exceptional accuracy and speed.

In the first two games, the two sides were evenly matched.

Not only the score, but the game itself was almost the same.

The LeSports host, watching the live broadcast, remarked, "Based on past experience, when top players clash, it usually comes down to who loses their form first during their service game!"

"This is the first time I've watched Meng Hao compete! Although he's currently ranked third in China, he definitely has the ability to compete for the top spot!"

One commenter on a tennis forum said, "Tennis players' performance fluctuates greatly! If Meng Hao can maintain this level of performance from this Challenger tournament for a long time, he will soon break into the top 100!"

He analyzed Meng Hao's strengths as follows: high volleyball IQ, powerful forehand, sharp backhand, agile footwork, keen net play, and seemingly good physical fitness.

What are the drawbacks? There are no obvious drawbacks at the moment.

If you really want to say something, Meng Hao sometimes plays too aggressively, with all sorts of unexpected changes and sudden, difficult shots that can easily lead to frequent mistakes.

At this moment, the situation on the field underwent some subtle changes.

After Zverev held his serve, he surprisingly earned a break point in Meng Hao's serve.

The score of the third game is 30 to 40!

In that last shot, Zverev took the initiative with a sudden, powerful, and deflected shot.

Then, he decisively went to the net to seize the initiative and completed a beautiful volley on Meng Hao's return.

Meng Hao ran, glided, and returned a beautiful lob shot; he had so much experience in handling this type of shot.

However, Zverev was too tall. He simply took a few quick steps back and then finished the fight with a powerful overhead smash.

Lobbing the ball high doesn't seem to work on him!

Meng Hao faced a break point but then made another mistake on serve.

Zverev, facing a break point, was in high spirits and decisively launched a second serve.

Then, he repeated his old trick, once again attempting to intercept Zverev online. Zverev was very confident in his height and wingspan.

Whether it's a passing shot or a lob, he can easily intercept it, and this time his interception was of very high quality.

"Oh no, that volley was really good, the return bounce was so low!"

"It seems that Meng Hao has no other option but to lift the ball up!"

At this point, the host also became anxious.

Given Zverev's height, lobbing him high is basically giving away points.

Besides, Meng Hao's previous shot was a failed lob.

At this moment, Meng Hao had already arrived again and was once again facing his opponent across the net.

"What should we do?"

In a flash, Meng Hao stretched out his racket and tried to lift the tennis ball as high as possible into the air.

Hey~
The audience gasped in surprise.

The lob shot flew very high, seemingly about to go out of bounds.

Immediately following was a "Wow!"

The backspin on the tennis ball seemed to be affecting its ability to continue flying forward.

It crossed exactly the height that Zverev could intercept and cover, and landed precisely on the baseline.

"Not out of bounds?" Zverev looked surprised.

He thought the ball would go out of bounds, so he didn't chase after it.

40 square meters!
After saving a break point, Meng Hao immediately won two consecutive points to hold his serve.

Although he occasionally gives his opponents break points, he usually manages to turn the tide. Just now, his opponent almost broke his serve.

In tennis, the match between two skilled opponents is often full of ups and downs.

Sometimes, how a single ball is handled can determine the outcome of a game.

Therefore, there is a famous saying in tennis: "If you don't break through, you will be broken through."

Zverev is still too young, and his form fluctuates too much.

In the fifth game, this guy failed his first serve three times in a row, and even committed a double fault.

Who is Meng Hao? He is known for his stable performance and also for his tendency to "strike while the iron is hot"!
He seized the opportunity and directly gave the other party a "reverse love game".

With this break of serve, Meng Hao won the first set 6-4.

As the inventory was tallied and cashed out, the 5000 audience members erupted in celebration, shouting and cheering continuously.

In the second match, Meng Hao was in top form and unleashed his full power.

It's almost like they can score no matter how they hit it!
Zverev is still too young. Although he maintained his competitive form in this set, he was still a little impatient.

During the match, Zverev had to call a medical timeout to calm his agitated emotions!
At this moment, the score is 5-4, and Meng Hao has a chance to serve for the match.

"Meng Hao is amazing! He actually beat Ziwei so badly that she needed a medical plan!"

Zverev intended to use a medical timeout to cool down Meng Hao's hot streak.

However, he soon discovered that this method, which had always worked in the past, seemed to be ineffective today.

Meng Hao delivered a beautiful love game in his own "service game to win the match".

The scores of the two sets were identical, both ending in 6-4.

The second Challenger title, 100 ATP points, and a prize of $16,000.

……

P.S.: The lower-level competitions have officially come to an end. Some competitions were described in more detail, while others were only briefly mentioned.

From now on, the main characters will belong to the tour stage.

To summarize, the protagonist first accumulated enough points through three Hope Tournaments and two Challenge Tournaments to directly enter the Shanghai Challenge Tournament based on his ranking.

Then, the protagonist won the championship at that station and received a wildcard for the Shanghai Masters with "the best result among local players".

From then on, it was a place where fish could leap freely in the vast sea and birds could fly freely in the boundless sky.
