Chapter 175
Once again eliminated in the qualifying round, while An Sheng was happy with his progress, the pressure on him also increased sharply.

As I said before, if An Sheng can't get ATP points from this ITF hopeful match, then his next participation may be in the foreseeable future.

And once this happens, in order to ensure his competitive state, An Sheng can only participate in youth competitions again. Although such an approach is actually relatively common among tennis players in his grade, he is not willing to do so .

In addition to being embarrassed because of this, the key point is that he feels that this does not match his strength. He has the strength to be able to gain something in the ITF Hope Tournament. If there is no other way, he does not need to participate in the youth race.

What's more, he has not found a suitable training partner so far, and he has also thought about it. As his strength continues to improve, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to get real exercise in normal training .

Therefore, perhaps he should use more methods of training through competitions to improve his strength.

Obviously, compared to youth competitions, the improvement effect that adult professional competitions can bring to him will definitely be better.

All in all, if it is not a last resort, An Sheng very much hopes to continue to participate in professional competitions. Therefore, in the last week of the ITF Hope Tournament, he must gain something.

On July 7, Anson won the third week of the competition.

At this time, he has no way out, he must win, otherwise, he can only go home.

And the opponent he met this time is Zhu Xinhao from the Ganzhou provincial team. He is 22 years old. Like An Sheng, he has not yet gained any ATP points.

From this point of view, as well as the opponent's age, this Zhu Xinhao is likely to be weaker than the previous Sun Lei and Deng Yang.

However, before the game, An Sheng didn't realize this. What's more, he still focused on his own state and tactical execution.

What needs to be explained a little bit is that the reason why An Sheng met Huaguo players continuously is actually a relatively normal phenomenon, because after all, this is only the lowest-level ITF hopeful match, with very low prize money and few points. Foreign players who come to participate in this event are basically able to directly participate in the main match.

In addition, as the host, when the competition party chooses the places for the qualifying competition, it will of course be more biased towards local players from Huaguo.

It's not just the events held in China that do this, but also other events held abroad. The purpose, of course, is to promote the development of local tennis events and train more tennis players.

And when the game officially started, this time, An Sheng finally felt a little different.

Perhaps it was because of the foreshadowing of the previous two games that he has roughly adapted to the atmosphere of professional games, or because this game is very important to him, so he is more focused.

In short, at the beginning of the game, An Sheng did not experience any abnormalities, and his attention was always focused on the game.

"Oh!"

This is the first ball sent by An Sheng, and its quality is not bad. Of course, if you want him to score directly, it is still a lot worse.

Sure enough, Zhu Xinhao then completed the return relatively easily, but it was a return after all. In order to ensure the success rate, he did not use force, which made his ball speed slower, and the landing point and angle were also lacking in offensiveness.

And An Sheng didn't hesitate at all. After being in position early, he chose to use his forehand to launch a strong attack.

It is worth mentioning that An Sheng's batting position at this time is a little different from his previous one. Compared with before, his batting position is farther away from the ball.

Obviously, in this way, An Sheng can play more powerfully, but at the same time, his control over the ball and the stability of his hitting have been weakened.

However, An Sheng's forehand attribute now has 67 points, while his strength attribute is only 64 points.

In other words, his forehand hitting ability should exceed his strength, so that he can more easily grasp the strength of his body, ensure the stability of his performance, and enable him to exert his strength more fully.

Even, through his forehand technique to drive his physical strength, it is possible for him to break through the limit and hit high-quality balls that exceed the limit of his physical strength.

This is the main reason why An Sheng is very confident and dares to use this method to attack forehand.

As for his attack, although he failed to exceed the limit of his strength, he has already hit the upper limit of his strength, and the line and placement are well controlled, directly hitting the opponent's backhand corner.

But as I said before, at their level, it is still a little difficult to rely on the offense from the bottom line to kill the opponent with one slap.

Just like now, although Zhu Xinhao was a bit reluctant, he still saved him, and he consciously hit a high throw, trying to bridge the crisis.

At this time, if An Sheng chose to stay on the bottom line, then this would fulfill Zhu Xinhao's wish and give him the opportunity to continue defending.

However, An Sheng did not give him a chance, because according to his current tactics, facing such a high throw, he must complete the winning point, otherwise, in terms of his offensive turnover rate, he will suffer. .

After all, every attack he made before was at the risk of making a bigger mistake, which is why he got this chance to win. If he can't grasp it, or gives up, then this is the right A negation of his overall tactics.

Therefore, facing the opponent's high ball, An Sheng rushed into the court very decisively. Before the ball hit the ground, he completed a high-pressure midfield ball.

In this way, he greatly shortened the time of his attack, and at the same time increased the threat of his attack.

There was no suspense. Zhu Xinhao, who had just finished saving the ball after An Sheng successfully hit the high-pressure ball, and had not yet had time to reset, had no chance of saving the ball.

"Nice!"

An Sheng clenched his fist tightly, and glanced at the other party with his fierce eyes, quite imposing.

It also has to be said that when An Sheng is playing normally, he does have the strength to enter the main game, but he has not been able to show it before.

In the subsequent games, An Sheng firmly grasped the situation of the game, and his forehand continued to show off his power, scoring a lot of winning points.

And even on the backhand, he didn't suffer a loss. His single backhand chipping the ball allowed him to complete the transition well.

What's more, he also has the means of attacking sideways, which is able to counter-suppress the opponent.

In general, An Sheng is slightly stronger than Zhu Xinhao in terms of overall strength, coupled with his forehand advantage, it allows him to suppress the opponent, and also makes his offensive tactics play out. More powerful power, thus winning the whole game relatively easily.

By the way, offensive tactics are just like this. Once you gain the advantage, you will play more and more smoothly. On the contrary, once your offense is blocked, you will feel very uncomfortable and make frequent mistakes.

In the next game, An Sheng encountered a very tenacious defensive player, which made his offense not so smooth.
