Chapter 439 The Legend
I thought that the contest between Ansheng and Tim would be a wonderful battle, but unexpectedly, it turned into a completely crushing and bloody massacre.

This made all the audience unbelievable, and even now, they have not realized Anson's "abnormality". Most people think that there may be something wrong with Tim's game state.

In this regard, An Sheng did not explain anything, appearing a little low-key.

As for Tim, when facing reporters, he repeatedly stated that his game state is not a big problem, but that An Sheng is too strong, but at this time, not many people believe his words.

One day later, on April 4, An Sheng ushered in the semi-finals of the Monte Carlo Masters, which is the final of the upper half. His opponent was the famous player from Belgium, David Goffin.

Compared with Tim, Goffin's reputation is slightly inferior, and his strength is also the same.

More importantly, Goffin has a very obvious weakness, that is, his physical condition, he has a height of 1 meters, but his weight is only 80 kg.

This is not very common among tennis players, especially since Goffin is now considered a veteran player. From this, it can be judged that his weight is not deliberately maintained, but the result of his physical talent .

More bluntly, it's not that Goffin doesn't want to put on his weight, it's that he can't.

Perhaps after gaining weight, his strength did not increase accordingly, but instead hindered his running ability, or it may affect his feel.

In short, Goffin has obvious flaws in terms of physical condition.

And such an opponent is really no threat to An Sheng now.

Even if Goffin's hitting ability is quite good, under normal circumstances, it is enough to make up for his physical disadvantages. But facing Ansheng, his shortcomings in serving and strength are very prominent and difficult to cover up.

What's more, in terms of his own strength, Goffin is not as good as Tim.

In the end, the match was only played for one hour and 10 minutes. An Sheng easily crushed Goffin with a disparity of 6-1, 6-0, and then advanced to the final of the Monte Carlo Masters .

Soon, An Sheng waited for the result of another semi-final, and learned that his opponent in the final was indeed Nadal, as he expected and expected.

There is no doubt that An Sheng is determined to win this final.

Of course, Anson has no real hostility towards Nadal, but in his opinion, Nadal is the last obstacle for him to truly become the number one in the world, so he must remove it.

In addition, it's not just this time. An Sheng believes that in this season's clay court, he and Nadal will definitely not meet only once.

And only if he defeats Nadal in all subsequent encounters can he undoubtedly become the real number one in the world.

As for the title of "King of Clay", An Sheng will not be able to take it away in a short period of time. Perhaps there will be hope when Nadal retires or when he wins enough French Open championships.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you want to surpass your predecessors, you have to start right in front of you.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on April 4, the center court was packed with people. The final of this Monte Carlo Masters, the contest between Anson and Nadal, officially began.

The result was far beyond people's expectations, but what was even more surprising was the process shown in this game.

6 to 2, 6 to 1 are the results of this game, and it can be easily seen from it that An Sheng won relatively easily, and it can even be said that he swept Nadal.

In fact, in the contest with Nadal, Ansheng did take the initiative in the game. Whether it was in the serve or return session or in the subsequent baseline stalemate, he had a considerable advantage.

"how can that be?"

Countless spectators who watched this game were a little confused and couldn't believe it.

This also shows that Nadal's strength on the clay court has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but now, he is actually suppressed by An Sheng. It is really hard for them to believe this fact.

Under such circumstances, more people are willing to believe that this game was just an accident, maybe An Sheng's state is too good, or Nadal's state is not good.

In short, they feel that this is not the norm.

But reality is always cruel.

On the 4th and 23rd, the Barcelona Open officially started.

Originally, An Sheng didn't want to participate, because this event was only a tournament at the ATP500 level, but in order to snipe Nadal, he chose to participate.

In the semi-finals, Anson and Nadal met again. As a result, Anson once again defeated Nadal with a big score, and finally won the Barcelona Open championship.

Since then, in the Madrid Open and the Rome Open, two ATP1000 Masters tournaments, Anson encountered Nadal again and won a complete victory.

By this time, people no longer regarded it as an accident. However, whether An Sheng really has absolute dominance on the clay court is still to be verified, and the next French Open is the best. Proof of opportunity.

At this French Open, Ansheng lived up to expectations and reached the final after defeating Coric, Sock, Anderson and Djokovic.

In the final, he and Nadal reunited again, but An Sheng continued the previous situation and once again won a complete victory!It was also the first time he won the French Open!

There is no doubt that An Sheng is the No.1 in today's tennis and clay courts. At the same time, his number one in the world is undisputed!

More importantly, this French Open is a signal that An Sheng's era has officially begun!
Also in 2019, An Sheng achieved the "Grand Slam"!In addition to the Miami Masters, he won all the other 8 Masters championships, becoming the No.1 in history!
It's a pity that in the year-end finals, An Sheng unexpectedly lost to Zverev, whose strength had actually reached the 90th stage.

In addition, in the Davis Cup, the Huaguo team led by An Sheng, although An Sheng and Wang Qiang's outstanding performance made it to the top four, it only stopped there.

And when the time comes to 2020, Anson's brilliance is still going on, and it is reaching its peak.

In this season, An Sheng not only won the shocking Grand Slam, but also won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics, thus achieving the "Golden Slam"!
In addition, apart from the non-mandatory Monte Carlo Masters, An Sheng has won all the other eight Masters championships, plus the Huaguo Open championship.

Its number one position in the world is unassailable.

What makes An Sheng very regretful is that at this year's year-end finals, Federer announced his retirement. A generation of legends has come to an end, and a new legend has begun.

However, Anson's legendary road is not alone. In addition to Zverev who reached the 90th stage last year, several young players such as Dimitrov, Coric, and Edmund have also reached the stage one after another. At this level, Nadal, Djokovic, Tim and other veteran top players are still active in the tennis world.

Their existence makes Ansheng greater and makes the world of tennis more exciting.
