Chapter 202 Advance to the finals!

The same thing, viewed by different people, will have different feelings.

In the match between An Sheng and Molson, Bolang sports commentator Qiu Shengshi believed that the reason why An Sheng was able to win the game was that besides his strength, the most important thing was that he found Molson in the midfield. Therefore, they constantly use short balls or put small balls to target them.

Of course, this point is correct, but as far as An Sheng's view is concerned, it is slightly different from Qiu Shengshi's.

Anson believes that Molson's greatest weakness lies in his playing style, perhaps his playing habits. He is a very regular tennis player.

To be more specific, Molson's ability is very strong, but his playing style is too rigid, lacking in changes, and lacking in the ability to cope with changes.

How should I put it, as long as there is a slight change in An Sheng's ball, Molson always feels a little slow when responding.

Because of this, he will make many mistakes when facing An Sheng's small ball, and the occasional mid-court high throw, or other changes.

This point is probably directly related to his long-term training and lack of competition experience.

In fact, like Molson, Anson's current style of play is actually biased towards order. When playing games, he is always well-regulated and less random.

But, before this, An Sheng often encountered stronger opponents than him, so in terms of game experience and on-the-spot response, he was better than Molson.

In addition, in the competition, An Sheng's competitive state has always been steadily improving, while Molson has obviously experienced some fluctuations in decline.

As a result, An Sheng was able to win the game, so there was no need to doubt it.

It is worth mentioning that after the match, An Sheng's Weibo became popular, and many tennis fans poured in.

Fortunately, his sister An Ran is very interested in his Weibo. After all, her brother is going to become a sports star, how could she not be excited?
Therefore, after An Ran opened his Weibo, he took the initiative to help him upload a lot of his previous photos, almost from the first time he played golf, to the most recent situation, which is relatively complete and shared with netizens Anson's tennis career so far.

This, to a large extent, satisfied the first group of netizens who followed An Sheng and wanted to know his past wishes, so that they were willing to continue to pay attention to An Sheng's Weibo and become his fans.

Of course, in order not to affect An Sheng's game, An Ran did not tell him these things.

And back to the schedule, An Sheng soon ushered in his semi-final opponent, another "old friend", he is from Wellington, England.

Before, in the second week of the competition, An Sheng was defeated by him and was eliminated by him.

And after losing the game, looking back, An Sheng felt very annoyed, because he was a little unconvinced and unwilling to lose.

Among them, the most important point is his response to the backhand position.

There is no doubt that Wellington's backhand strength is indeed very strong. In their previous fight, An Sheng was almost blown away by him.

An Sheng also admitted this, but if he had been able to play more patiently, there are still many ways to avoid or weaken his disadvantage in the backhand.

But this time, when he met Wellington again, An Sheng naturally had a "revenge" mentality.

On January 1, at 24:7 p.m., the semi-final between An Sheng and Wellington officially began.

As soon as the game came up, the two sides played very fiercely.

This is also due to the fact that they have just played against each other in the last week, and they already know each other well, so they don't need to do too many trials.

"here we go again!"

An Sheng completed a return, and immediately looked at Wellington on the opposite side. From his preparatory action, he immediately judged that the opponent wanted to attack his backhand again.

But Ansheng was not in a hurry. It was not until he confirmed that Wellington had taken action that he quickly started running towards the backhand corner, and then used a cutting ball as a routine to make the transition.

There was no suspense, Wellington continued to attack his backhand diagonally.

And An Sheng still didn't make any other moves, and responded with a backhand slash, but after that, his heart was already raised.

Because, according to his understanding of Wellington, there must be changes in his third attack.

Sure enough, in the face of his relatively steady chipping ball, Wellington suddenly chose to change the line, backhanded with both hands, and hit a rather sharp straight line attack.

In this regard, An Sheng was not surprised but delighted. He was already prepared, and he jumped out quickly like a cheetah.

"Shh" sound!
An Sheng was on the field and started sliding. At the same time, his upper body remained very stable. Then, with his best forehand, he suddenly hit a diagonal forehand, thus completing the counterattack.

The ball was of high quality, but An Sheng knew that it was not enough for him to score directly, so he rushed to the net without hesitation.

This is an offensive routine that Ansheng currently uses more often. He uses his forehand to attack to gain an advantage, and then volleys on the Internet to complete the final score.

And Wellington obviously knew An Sheng's routine, but compared to his backhand, he didn't have any advantage in forehand strength, at most he was on par with An Sheng.

What's more, the quality of An Sheng's attack this time is really good, with a large angle and sufficient strength. It is already not easy for Wellington to complete the counterattack, but he still needs to complete the crossing now. What is the requirement for him? , it is even higher.

That is to say, in a relatively reluctant situation, Wellington tried to hit a straight forehand to complete the crossing.

It is conceivable that his success rate must not be too high. In fact, he also made a hitting error, the line was too low, and he directly hit the net.

But even if he successfully completed the ball, An Sheng had already judged his route in advance, and even made a volley.

Therefore, on this ball, An Sheng is relatively sure.

And this is one of Anson's ways to deal with Wellington. First stabilize the backhand, forcing Wellington to make a change first, and then use the forehand to complete the countermeasure.

Of course, after the backhand stalemate, in addition to using a change of line attack, Wellington can actually choose to continue to strengthen the backhand offensive, playing a greater angle and strength to increase its threat.

Since then, he has indeed used this method to make several attempts, and once successful, An Sheng really has no good way to deal with it. After all, his backhand strength is still weaker.

However, Wellington's strategy is not very effective, because his success rate is not very high, only about [-]%, half of everyone.

This point, the characteristics of the clay court, has given Ansheng a lot of help. Its deceleration effect and the application of sliding steps have greatly increased Ansheng's defense range in the backhand position.

As a result, if Wellington wants to play a threatening enough offense, he needs to take greater risks and play from more tricky angles, which will of course increase his turnover rate.

In this way, generally speaking, An Sheng was able to handle the backhand position.

But he just held it, but he didn't have much initiative. More, it still depends on Wellington's performance.

In addition, as far as this game is concerned, just holding the opponent's backhand is obviously not enough for An Sheng to win the game.

What's more, in terms of overall strength, Wellington still has some advantages, even if the backhand part is removed, it is still the same.

It can be seen that An Sheng must have a very difficult game in this game.

As for his own winning point, An Sheng is very clear, that is his stable and rising game state, and his fighting on key balls!

The former is what allows him to cling to the score, and the latter is the key to his victory in the game.

Of course, since it was a fight, his success rate would definitely not be too high, and there was nothing he could do about it. He could only do this when his strength was behind.

In addition, An Sheng's fighting spirit in this game is remarkable.

No matter whether he was in a disadvantaged situation or when he was behind in the score, he did not give up. Instead, he became more motivated and tried his best for every goal.

Even, in terms of momentum, compared to Wellington, he appeared to be stronger.

In the final result of the game, An Sheng still won.

In the first set, both sides kept their serve. After entering the tie-break, An Sheng's decisiveness had a good effect, allowing him to win.

In the second set, probably stimulated by the result of the first set, Wellington's game state improved. In the fifth game, he broke serve and maintained his advantage until the end.

In the final set, An Sheng was broken by Wellington again, but then, he immediately pulled back the score and delayed the game to the final tie-break, where he played brilliantly again. , Several times of fighting-style storms were successful, so they won the whole game.

It has to be said that such a result has a certain element of luck, and An Sheng himself knows this very well.

But then again, if there is no An Sheng's hard work that never gives up, even if he has this luck, what's the use?Therefore, luck is indeed a part of strength.

After winning this game, An Sheng once again broke through his previous best record and broke into the final of the ITF Hope Tournament for the first time.

This is also the first time An Sheng has the opportunity to compete for the championship of a professional tennis tournament!
There is no doubt that at this time, An Sheng will fight no matter what, and make [-]% efforts for his first professional championship!
