Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 65 is here, I'll be playing Prince of Tennis all night.
The third game begins.

"Gu Cheng is in such good shape."

"That slice shot at the near post was beautiful; Hassan had absolutely no control over it."

"Gu Cheng's performance was not like that of a player who had never played professionally. He was too strong. Except for strength and speed, which might not be as good as Hassan's, he was almost completely crushed in every other aspect."

"Moreover, his ball intelligence is too high. He may not be as fast or strong as Hassan, but every shot he makes seems to hit Hassan's weak spot."

……

"A shot from the far corner, though it didn't score, left Hassan scrambling for the ball with the next shot down the opposite line."

"Great! Another goal, 4-0."

"Is China finally going to produce someone who can reach the pinnacle of tennis?"

Both the audience in Zhu Wen's live broadcast room and the audience at the scene were extremely engrossed in the game, and the excitement of the match completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

There's no contest of strength involved; it's purely about hitting the ball and understanding tennis, making it comparable to watching one of the four Grand Slam tournaments.

Without the constraints of the weighted wristbands, Gu Cheng felt much lighter, and his backswing and running speed increased significantly, which made Hassan, who was already at a disadvantage compared to Gu Cheng, even worse off.

If he could go toe-to-toe with Gu Cheng before, even managing to score seven or eight points, the subsequent matches almost all became one-sided.

Hassan's speed and stamina were excellent, otherwise the match wouldn't have ended much later than the first set.

Even so, apart from winning a point in the fifth game by hitting a net ball by luck, Hassan had almost no chance to fight back.

Fourteen minutes later, the match ended, with the final score at 2-0.

Gu Cheng played with great enjoyment and satisfaction.

Gu Cheng's match had already attracted the attention of many reporters, with numerous cameras and microphones constantly snapping pictures of him.

Even as Gu Cheng walked off the court, a reporter broke through the crowd and rushed up to him: "Gu Cheng, as far as I know, you are the youngest player in this Australian Open wildcard tournament. Your performance has shattered many people's expectations of you. Hassan is a strong contender for the championship. What are your thoughts after beating him?"

This was the first time Gu Cheng had been surrounded by reporters, and he was a little embarrassed for a moment: "Actually, I don't have any feelings. Hassan is a very strong player, and I had a lot of fun playing against him."

"But Hassan lost the match, and by a significant margin."

Gu Cheng glanced at her; this reporter was a bit mischievous: "But that doesn't mean Hassan is weak. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Well... let's forget about playing against Hassan. But Gu Cheng is truly the strongest player I've ever seen among his peers. I believe that with your ability, it won't be long before you're able to play in ATP tournaments or even the four Grand Slams."

The reporter realized he had said the wrong thing, so he started praising Gu Cheng wildly, almost saying that winning the Grand Slam was a piece of cake for him.

"Thank you."

Gu Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This is just the beginning, I will continue to work hard."

"Oh?"

"Judging from what Gu Cheng is saying, is he preparing to participate in professional competitions?"

"Yes."

The reporter's eyes lit up: "Just now, when I was on the sidelines, I heard many spectators and industry insiders saying that you are a true genius. In your own opinion, which has helped you more, hard work or talent?"

"It's about hard work." Gu Cheng thought of the scenes of practicing tennis day and night in the world of Prince of Tennis, and answered very decisively.

……

Pengcheng Sports Daily -- In the first round of the Australian Open wildcard tournament, a 15-year-old Chinese prodigy demonstrated unparalleled strength with two shutout matches, aiming for the championship.

Pengcheng TV reporter: Strength comes from hard work -- Gu Cheng.

……

After dealing with a large group of reporters, the first thing Gu Cheng did upon returning to the hotel was to go into the bathroom and take a shower.

In mid-November in Shenzhen, the temperature wasn't particularly high, but after two matches, I still sweated a lot, feeling sticky all over.

After taking a shower, Gu Cheng took out the PSP game console that Zhang Ming had sent him some time ago from his suitcase, opened a game called "Tennis for All", registered his information, and then sat on the sofa next to him and played it with great interest.

In terms of controls, "Everybody's Tennis" inherits the simple style of the PSP "Everybody's Golf: Portable" series. While using the PSP's analog stick to move the character, different buttons can be used to hit different types of balls.

When hitting the ball, you can use a small joystick to control the direction of the flight, and different effects will be produced depending on the timing of the hit; for example, an early hit represented by a rabbit symbol, a delayed hit represented by a turtle symbol, a good hit represented by a musical note, and a precise hit represented by a double note, etc.

Although the game is very different from reality, after playing for a while, Gu Cheng found that it was actually quite interesting.

While Gu Cheng returned to the hotel to play games, the other matches on the courts also came to an end one after another.

As many predicted before the tournament, American Verin White advanced to the second round with a score of 6-2 and 6-3, for a total score of 2-0, demonstrating his exceptional strength and talent. In addition, his close ties with American professional players have garnered much attention.

It's fair to say that before the first round, Welling White was practically already considered the Australian Open wildcard champion.

But with Gu Cheng's sudden emergence, this declaration was shattered.

Many industry insiders predict that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, these two will likely meet in the finals.

at the same time.

After the first round of the men's singles competition, many participants obtained data from other matches. Gu Cheng's 2-0 victory over Hassan attracted the attention of many participants.

In particular, some contestants who had coaches with them and had watched Gu Cheng's matches were able to find their students almost immediately.

After 16-year-old Lin Bin from China successfully advanced to the second round with a score of 2-1, his coach Qi Yun pulled him back to the hotel, where an old anime was playing on the TV.

The Prince of Tennis.

Lin Bin swallowed hard. "Coach, although I really enjoy watching anime, especially this one, is it really appropriate to come back and watch anime right now? Or... should we wait until after the match?"

Qi Yun didn't explain much, just fiddled with his phone for a while, and then threw it to Lin Bin: "This is your second-round opponent Gu Cheng's match in the first round. Take a look first, and then come back and tell me if you want to watch the anime."

Lin Bin heard about Gu Cheng's 2-0 victory over Hassan, but he couldn't figure out what it had to do with watching the Prince of Tennis anime. However, since the coach asked him to watch the match video, he didn't refuse.

To be able to defeat a formidable opponent like Hassan 2-0, that player named Gu Cheng must be quite strong.

With the idea that "know yourself and know your enemy and you will win every battle," Lin Bin picked up his phone with a smile and started looking at it. But after a short while, he stopped blinking, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Then, by quickly toggling the cache button, I returned to that very moment.

This time, he played it at 0.5x slow motion.

My eyes were glued to the phone screen, as if I was afraid of missing even a single frame.
