Chapter 196 Week Two

Because of physical problems, An Sheng was eliminated from the competition, and An Sheng was not without regret.

And after confirming his achievements this time, the ATP points and bonuses he can receive will also be confirmed.

In terms of bonuses, there is actually nothing to say.

After all, the total prize money for this event was originally only 1.5 U.S. dollars. Even the final champion can only get about 5000 U.S. dollars. Therefore, as a top four player, the prize money he can get is Naturally, not too much, probably only 1000 dollars.

But don't look at the 1000 US dollars, which seems to be a lot when converted into RMB, but in fact, this is still a loss-making transaction for Ansheng.

The amount of the prize money is not enough to pay him, and his team, the board, lodging and traveling expenses for participating in this event.

In terms of ATP points, it's not bad, the top four rankings can allow him to gain 7 points.

In this way, plus his previous 3 points, the total accumulated points has already reached double digits.

Because of this, his ATP ranking has jumped from the 1500+ where the specific ranking is unknown, to the 1025th, which is quite a big span.

Moreover, it is conceivable that An Sheng has now entered a period of rapid improvement. At this stage, his ATP ranking will show an explosive upward trend.

Of course, the premise is that he has to keep participating in the competition.

But on the issue of the schedule, Feng Enhao, who is usually relatively taciturn, made a suggestion to An Sheng.

That is, if he still needs to continue to participate in this kind of ITF Hope Tournament held for three consecutive weeks, then, in order to ensure his sufficient physical strength and impact on the championship, he'd better give up participating in the middle week of the competition.

In this regard, An Sheng only needs to think about it a little bit to understand that what he said is right.

The fundamental reason is that he is no longer like he used to be, he can only play in the first two rounds of the main match every time he participates.

Therefore, if he wants to participate in three consecutive weeks of competitions, but there is not enough rest time in between, it is obviously a severe test for his physical strength and competitive state.

Under such circumstances, it may be more difficult for him to achieve better results, or even hit the championship. It is obviously not worth the loss just to pursue the number of entries.

However, in this event, he cannot change it, and since he has to participate, he will go all out and will not do anything that goes against sportsmanship.

And after he only rested for one day, An Sheng ushered in the qualifying round of the second week of the competition.

Of course, with his current strength, there is no need to go into details about the qualifying rounds. He won the two games easily, and then smoothly advanced to the main round.

But when he saw the complete draw, that is, when he confirmed his opponent in the first round of the main match, he was very surprised, because his opponent was actually a player from Huaguo.

In fact, generally speaking, in the ITF Hope Tournament held in Huaguo, about 70% of the contestants will be Huaguo players, but most of them can only participate in the qualifying rounds, and they can be directly selected for the main match of Huaguo. There are still very few contestants, which is why An Sheng was surprised.

But when he checked the opponent's basic information, he suddenly realized that his opponent was not an ordinary Chinese tennis player.

First of all, he is a member of the Huaguo national team. Just this title already gives him some weight.

Secondly, he is also the singles and doubles doubles champion of the US Open, of course, in the youth group, and he is currently ranked first in the ITF International Youth Ranking!

In the end, even in the professional competitions of the adult group, his achievements seemed to be much better than An Sheng's.

What's more, at such a young age, he is already able to participate in the tour-level Huaguo Open and the Masters-level Shanghai Masters.

Of course, it is also obvious that he has the opportunity to participate in these high-level competitions only by virtue of the wild card.

But no matter what, at least it seems that his record is much more gorgeous than that of ordinary players!

And he is from Hangzhou, and is considered by Huaguo media and insiders as Huaguo's most promising star to break into the top 100 in the world. He is only 17 years old, Wu Bingyi.

To be honest, after reading the other party's series of materials, An Sheng was really a little scared. At the same time, he was inevitably a little envious of the opportunities he could get.

So much so that An Sheng began to recall his original choice, thinking that if he had chosen to join the system, maybe he would have the opportunity to participate in such a high-level event.

But, that's what he thought, and when he turned his head, he still felt that his previous choice was correct.

And after removing Wu Bingyi's gorgeous appearance, An Sheng had a general understanding of his strength by watching the video recording of his game.

To put it simply, Wu Bingyi is still a young player. Although his strength is already far superior to players of the same age, in the professional competitions of the adult group, he is probably a qualifying player.

Otherwise, he would have really entered the professional competition long ago, and he would not be transitioning between the youth competition and the professional competition as he is now.

In addition, with his current ATP ranking, if he did not hold a wild card, he would not be able to directly enter the main match of this tournament.

And An Sheng's judgment was clearly confirmed in the second day's game.

To An Sheng's surprise, perhaps it was because Wu Bingyi had experience in participating in high-level tournaments, or perhaps it was because he had experienced various tennis matches since he was a child. When An Sheng was suppressed, his performance was still very good, even a little supernormal.

From this, it can be roughly judged that Wu Bingyi's fighting spirit and will are very good, coupled with the fact that he surpassed the level of players of the same age, it is no wonder that he was able to achieve such magnificent results in youth competitions, and was called "the star of hope". ", "Son of Tomorrow", they deserve their name.

But after winning Wu Bingyi, An Sheng immediately encountered a strong opponent, a player from the UK, who is also the top seed of this week's competition, Wellington.

What I have to say is that facing Wellington, An Sheng will be at a clear disadvantage.

But if that's all it is, An Sheng won't lose so quickly. The most important thing is that the Wellington player's greatest strength lies in his backhand!

Ever since, in the match between them, An Sheng's backhand was repeatedly restrained by the opponent, and it became a huge loophole for him.

As a result, An Sheng quickly lost the entire game, thus stopping at the second round of this week's competition.

But when An Sheng went back to analyze this game, he was a little annoyed, because he found that he actually had a chance to compete with the opponent, as long as he played more patiently and added some small strategies Can.

It's a pity that the game is over, so it's naturally impossible to start over.

In addition, ending the second week of the competition early is actually a good thing for him, because now he has a few days of recuperation time to prepare for the next week's competition.

I believe that after this revision, he will definitely perform better in next week's game.
