Chapter 153 See the True Chapter

The schedule is still going on, and An Sheng has lost his previous anxiety, but he doesn't know whether it is luck or misfortune. He has always hoped that he will be able to meet those foreign players, but unfortunately, his opponents are all Hua Guo players.

In the 64-to-32 match, An Sheng met Zheng Jiaxiong, a teenager from Fuchuan Province.

This is a very young player. According to the information provided by the tournament party, he has just turned 15 years old, younger than Zhang Zhizheng.

However, obviously, to be able to get to this point, his strength is not weak.

According to An Sheng's judgment through the competition, Zheng Jiaxiong's strength should be in the upper reaches of the 50th stage. Although he has not yet reached the peak, considering his age, he is really good.

In addition, Zheng Jiaxiong is also an all-around baseline player with comprehensive skills.

It's a pity that his game experience is still somewhat insufficient, and his will and quality still need to be sharpened.

To be more clear, Zheng Jiaxiong's mentality is not stable enough, and he is not tough enough when facing difficulties.

In the game, he played well in the first two rounds, but after An Sheng ended his probing and started to exert strength, making him passive, his mood fluctuated, and then his strength showed obvious decline.

In other words, under the passive situation, he didn't resist too much, and soon gave up on himself, disarmed and surrendered.

Of course, considering his age, this is understandable. Perhaps his journey has been too smooth, and only after experiencing failures will he gradually mature.

But no matter what, it must be said that Zheng Jiaxiong is a player with great potential. Even after excluding the mental attributes, he has more potential than Zhang Zhizheng in other aspects.

However, if the mental attribute is added, Zhang Zhizheng's performance is much better than that of Zheng Jiaxiong.

In the second round of the main match, Zhang Zhizheng met a strong foreign player, and he also quickly fell into a passive situation.

However, Zhang Zhizheng did not choose to give up, but persevered, and every point was devoted to creating more trouble for his opponent.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to persist until the second half of the game, and seized the opportunity when the opponent's state was slack, and pulled back a set.

In the last set, he entangled with his opponent for a long time, and finally relied on his super-level performance to win the game and successfully advance to the next round.

It can be seen from this that when the strength gap between the two sides of the competition is not large, the quality of the players' mental will is probably more able to affect the outcome of the competition.

It was a pity that in the next round of competition, Zhang Zhizheng once again encountered a foreign player, Franco from Spain.

And this Franco was one of the two foreign players who met An Sheng, had dinner and chatted together.

As I said before, his ITF youth ranking is very high, and his strength is obviously not weak. According to An Sheng's judgment after training with him, his strength should be at the peak of the 50th stage, and may even be higher.

In this way, compared with Zhang Zhizheng, there is a relatively obvious gap in strength. Under such circumstances, he had no choice. Although he tried his best, he still lost the game and stopped in the top 32.

But for Zhang Zhizheng, this is only his first time to participate in the ITF Youth U18 competition. It is already a good result to break into the main match and reach the third round.

Including Zhang Zhizheng himself, he also feels quite satisfied and has no regrets.

As for foreign players, it needs a little explanation.

What is certain is that these foreign players who will choose to come to China to participate in the competition are almost all seeded players, and they are all very strong.Otherwise, how could they have traveled thousands of miles to China to participate in an event where they were not sure whether they would be able to enter the main match?

Of course, the small countries near Huaguo, such as Japan, South Korea, etc., including Huaguo Taipei, do not have this restriction.

After all, the distance is not far, and there may not be so many competitions suitable for them in their country. Therefore, coming to China to participate in the competition itself is the most suitable choice for them, so it is not surprising.

But back to the schedule, in the third round, An Sheng still failed to fulfill his wish. What he encountered was a young player from Kyoto, Dai Runze.

Moreover, it is very likely that An Sheng and him had met once.

Back then, under the leadership of He Yiming, An Sheng had been to the Kyoto City Team's training facility, and Dai Runze was a member of the Kyoto City Tennis Team.

However, they probably just saw each other at that time, but they didn't have any intersection, so naturally they still didn't know each other.

And this Dai Runze, who was able to enter the Kyoto city team and was valued by the team, allowed him to go out to compete, obviously he has a certain strength.

The fact is also the same. During the competition, An Sheng roughly judged that his strength should be at the peak of the 50th stage, which is stronger than Zheng Jiaxiong he met before.

However, Dai Runze's age is already close to 18 years old, so it is normal for him to be a little stronger in strength.

In addition, compared to Zhang Zhizheng and Zheng Jiaxiong, Dai Runze's technical style of play is not so conventional, but has a very obvious personal style.

For example, he is very accustomed to using his forehand to continuously suppress his opponent diagonally, and the shots are harder and harder until he makes a mistake or the opponent cannot resist.

For another example, he often uses sideways in the backhand position, and it is different from the general sideways hitting action.

His technical movements are more like releasing a small ball. He can always hit a small diagonal line with a very large angle with a flick of the ball.

Of course, this is at the cost of sacrificing the speed of the ball, so that he can hit such a landing point and line, so it is not the kind of unsolvable ball that is sure to win.

And his individual hitting methods really caused some troubles for An Sheng, which also allowed him to play back and forth with An Sheng in the first half of the game.

However, when there is a staged gap in strength, once An Sheng figured out his game and started to target it, Dai Runze quickly lost the ability to resist.

Therefore, An Sheng still easily defeated Dai Runze with a score of 6-3, 6-1, and successfully entered the top 16 of this competition.

As for his opponent in the next round, he finally met a foreign player, and it was none other than Franco, who had easily defeated Zhang Zhizheng before.

Interestingly, before Ansheng went to find him, Franco was the first to find Ansheng, and his friendly relationship did not change at all because they were about to meet in the game.

Even, the two of them stayed together for a lot of training that day.

As a result, both of them seem to know each other very well, but in fact, in training, they both have reservations, and only when they are actually on the field can they see the truth.
