Chapter 375 Teaming up with Zhou Chen for Mixed Doubles 1
"Game! An! The score is 6:0, 6:0!"
It was simply a one-sided massacre!
This second-round match caused a slight sensation in the tennis world. Well-known tennis reporters wrote in their reports, "After two sets of golden eggs, he scored 24 points in a row. Romniewicz failed to score a single point and was suppressed by ABS.
It’s really rare to be out of breath.”
"The Queen's dominance is initially demonstrated..."
"There is no suspense about the Wimbledon women's singles championship this year..."
"At the age of 14, I will complete a Grand Slam, even a Golden Slam! What an amazing achievement!"
The kind words are flooding in.
The person involved showed no concern and even stayed at the press conference for shorter and shorter times. This made the outside world's evaluation of An Yuexi's style even worse. More and more people said that she was a big name, arrogant, and did not take anyone seriously.
up. But her die-hard fans are also growing.
In sports competition, what matters in the end is performance.
An Yuexi doesn't care about the mixed reviews of her from the outside world. She just wants to focus on the competition. She doesn't care about those media reporters, those fame and praises, and the fame and fortune that comes with it.
On the sixth match day, the first round of Mixed Doubles begins.
An Yuexi's team was scheduled to play the second game on Court No. 3 on the sixth match day.
In Wimbledon Mixed Doubles, the players participating have always been strong.
For example, those veterans who have achieved excellent results in singles but have to retreat to doubles because of their age. Apart from the decline in physical fitness, they often have rich fighting experience and amazing willpower, making them one of the most difficult players to deal with on the court.
Another example is young or Mesozoic players who are unsatisfactory in singles and find it difficult to achieve results, and then specialize in doubles. They are not as experienced as veterans, but they can easily burst out with amazing energy in one or two games, which is usually said to upset high seeds.
The other type is the younger generation of players who have performed well in singles but cannot maintain their performance at a high level. These people often participate in doubles to enrich their technical skills. However, they usually participate in men's doubles or women's doubles.
Mixed doubles is rarely chosen.
It was the first time that An Yuexi and Zhou Chen competed together in a Grand Slam tournament, especially since her partner had not participated in the main draw of a 500-level tournament or above.
The two did not receive seed status, and their first opponent was the multinational combination of Chile and Bolivia, the mixed doubles No. 5 seed.
Chilean player Rab Melde Wiener is a good doubles player and a consistent victor in the women's doubles arena. However, at the age of 35, she is already a little out of her depth. This year's Wimbledon Mixed Doubles is her retirement battle.
A player from South America, Bolivian Celi Roska is also a 34-year-old doubles veteran who has won three men's doubles Grand Slam championships.
The opponent combination is experienced in doubles and has been a mixed doubles player for two or three years. This year's Wimbledon is the third mixed doubles Grand Slam that this pair has participated in. They are highly favored by the outside world and are one of the favorites to win the championship.
However, Mixed Doubles does not get much attention. Whether it is the favorite to win or not is not that important.
Wearing all white uniforms, the players from the two teams entered the court one after another. If it weren't for the fiery red phoenix pattern on the Chinese team's uniforms, they were so far apart that they wouldn't even be able to tell them apart.
Several little golden flowers acted as "cheerleaders" on the sidelines, giving a group of applause from time to time, forming a clear and loud echo in the empty stadium.
The girl with a broad forehead and a round face held a drink, clapped her hands and suddenly whispered, "Sister Lan Yao, let's make a bet to see if Brother Zhou will have stage fright." After all, I finally participated in a Grand Slam, which is so exciting.
Jealous.
The girl with a more delicate face chuckled, and glanced at the young Asian man who was warming up for three minutes. Her eyes were full of intelligence. When she turned to the girl with a broad forehead, she raised her eyebrows slightly, but her intelligence was gone, and she said seriously,
"What to bet on?"
“A bowl of creamy strawberries!”
"You are so greedy. Looking at your body shape, are you an athlete?" The pretty girl said with a smile, "One bowl is boring. I bet you a big bet. Let's all eat together!"
Everyone... there are quite a lot of people. The girl with a wide forehead hesitated immediately. Creamy strawberries are very expensive. She is also a quasi-professional player who spends her family's money. This time she came to Wimbledon to experience the Grand Slam atmosphere. It was thanks to coach Tochisheng.
.
The broad-foreheaded girl tried to negotiate, "Then four bowls, no more."
"What four bowls? Lan Yao and Song Yi, do you want to eat strawberries with cream?" Another "enthusiastic" female voice joined the betting ranks and licked the corners of her lips to show that she also wanted to share a bowl.
"Four bowls are not enough. There are four of us here, plus Sister Zheng, Sister Fang, and Sister Sheng, seven more." A little girl with a more heroic face also joined in, turning the small excitement into a big one.
Lively, "There are also coaches, Senior Brother Zhou and Xiao Xi..."
Before the heroic little girl finished speaking, two male voices whose voices were still changing in their youth joined in, "Hey, are you talking about eating strawberries with cream? We want them too!"
"Jiang Yuenan, Huaijin, why are you here? We don't want to eat strawberries with cream!" The girl with a wide forehead said something, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
"You secretly ate Wimbledon special snacks without telling us, Song Yi, you are not kind, you forgot who helped you..." The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was suddenly stuffed with a handful of popcorn in his mouth, his eyes widened,
Her face gradually turned red, I don't know if it was because of the broad-foreheaded girl's behavior or something else.
The tall girl with a wide forehead lowered her back and leaned back in the seat in an extremely difficult position. The hand holding the popcorn quickly and directly covered the boy's mouth, and the popcorn fell on her.
One face and one head.
"This posture, this body, so soft, what a great tennis player!" The companions started teasing mode.
"Not bad, not bad, I can keep up with Xiao Xi."
"Not only can you keep up with Xiao Xi, but you can also keep up with my idol, the Kaiser, right?"
The young man with a rather elegant face took two steps to the side, shook his head and laughed. He did not participate or comment, and watched them make trouble until the game started.
"Does the bet just now count?" Lan Yao, a dark and delicate girl, tilted her head to signal to the young man Jiang Yue who was sitting very far away. Danfeng's eyes were full of smiles.
"Lanyao!" Song Yi, a broad-foreheaded girl, glared angrily, causing the delicate girl to wave her hands repeatedly, "Watch the ball, watch the ball!"
Zhou Chen, who is ranked in the early 300s in the world, started playing in the qualifying rounds in June this year and entered the main draw of two 250 grass-court events, and both faced big seeds in the first round.
Due to a low ranking and poor lottery luck, Zhou Chen did not gain many points in the two tournaments in the grassland season, but these two 250 tour main events allowed Zhou Chen to feel the power of the world and benefited a lot.
An Yuexi raised her left hand to pat her neck, and after fist bumping with Zhou Chen, she turned her back to the court and whispered about the offense, defense and tactics of the serve.
"When Selly forced the Internet, we were like this..."
"ok!"
Another fist bump, An Yuexi walked to the outside of the service line with three balls, picked out one, and returned the remaining two to the caddy. She looked up at the Bolivian male player in the opposite area who was receiving the serve, with dark pupils.
Miniature. More than ten meters away, the man opposite across the net has a few white hairs on his head. He is a thirty-four-year-old doubles veteran!
But the veteran's defensive tendencies were clearly visible.
He is focusing on guarding against backhand shots!
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
After hitting the ball regularly, an ace ball appeared...
"15:0!"
Ouch! The audience in the auditorium stood up with cheers.
Chapter completed!
