Chapter 204 Passive
An Sheng didn't know that there was such a group of lovely people watching him, but of course he could understand the importance of this final to him.

The meaning of a professional event championship is more than just a trophy and bonus, especially for a new player like An Sheng, it is of extraordinary significance.

It can even be said that only after he wins the IFT Hope Tournament, can he become a professional tennis player in the true sense. Otherwise, like Xiong Tengfei, can they really be regarded as professional players?
And there is no doubt that it is not easy to win this championship, even if it is just a championship in the lowest level professional event.

An Sheng knew this very well, so after he finished the semi-finals, he almost cut off all contact with the outside world, and devoted himself to the upcoming finals.

This includes his coach Sun Binghua and his physical trainer Feng Enhao. As long as they can do it and help An Sheng, they are doing their best.

And his opponent has already been confirmed. He is Berdych from the Czech Republic. He is currently ranked 268th in the ATP and is also the number one seed in this tournament.

And in this event, Berdych swept his opponents all the way, showing an excellent competitive state.

But other than that, An Sheng couldn't know more about him. He could only make a more specific judgment after he went on the field and tried it out.

However, at this point, he is actually not at a disadvantage, because he is basically sure that Berdych must know very little about him, so it is relatively fair.

And when the time came to January 1, at 25:7 in the evening, the final between Anson and Berdych started on time.

By the way, the tennis atmosphere in Anning City is still very good, and there are still some tourists who come to travel, so the number of spectators who come to watch this game is quite a lot, which is also the reason for this game. , created a nice atmosphere.

In addition, like the previous games, there were still a few media reporters who appeared in the exclusive stands in the media area, and the number seemed to be a little more than before.

But at this moment, An Sheng naturally didn't pay attention to these things. From the moment he came on stage, his attention was already on Berdych.

He tried to obtain some useful information through the observation of Berdych, but apart from letting him discover that Berdych is a European white man with a bushy beard, he did not gain anything else.

And when the two sides played against each other, An Sheng immediately felt the strong pressure from Berdych!
"Oh!"

An Sheng took the lead in serving. Compared with the period when he just improved his serving movement, his technique has matured a lot. Correspondingly, the quality and stability of his serving has basically reached his current best level.

But in terms of hard power, An Sheng has not reached the peak of the 60 stage. Therefore, according to the attributes of his system, his serve has about 68 points of power.

This level is basically guaranteed for other players in the ITF Hope Tournament, allowing him to gain some advantages in serving and receiving, but facing Berdych, his serve is still not threatening enough.

I saw that Berdych's return was quite relaxed, and he hit a very tactical return ball. Although it was for insurance, he didn't attack directly, and he didn't make any special effort, but for his ball , The control of the landing point is very sufficient.

An Sheng was a little surprised by this. Fortunately, this is a clay court. When he was a bit slow in reacting, he used a sliding step to make up for the time. Then, with his best forehand, he hit a A powerful diagonal attack.

But turning his head, facing his attack, Berdych was not afraid at all, and actually confronted him on the diagonal line of the forehand.

As for his forehand strength, An Sheng was very confident, so he was happy to have a diagonal stalemate with Berdych on the forehand.

But in the end, An Sheng lost, which also made him frown.

From this, An Sheng can confirm one message, that is, in terms of forehand strength, Berdych's level is not inferior to him at all.

In other words, his best unique skill has no advantage in front of Berdych!

After confirming this, An Sheng's confidence was not that strong.

Although Ansheng won the next few goals, he felt even more uneasy because he had discovered that Berdych's overall strength was really much stronger than him.

Not just on the forehand, but his backhand, running, and his strength in the midfield.

Especially when it came to his serving game, Berdych's strength was more obvious, basically not giving Anson any chance.

Of course, even so, An Sheng would definitely not give up on this final.

In addition, although An Sheng now knows that Berdych has no loopholes in terms of strength, this does not mean that he has no shortcomings at all.

For example, in terms of his tactical execution or the state of the game, he may have some problems in subsequent games. This is an opportunity for Ansheng.

But I have to say that as a "weak person", he is very passive. Now An Sheng has to wait for Berdych to make a mistake before he has a chance to stand up.

"I can only wait!"

An Sheng put his mentality in order, so he decided on his game strategy. While holding on to the score as much as possible, he waited patiently for the opponent to make a mistake, and then seized the opportunity to try to turn the game around, or drag the game into a more uncertain situation. Big tie-break, then try to beat each other.

Also using this method, An Sheng had defeated many opponents who were stronger than him before, such as Wellington in the semi-finals.

The key is that, as ordinary players, their game status cannot always be maintained at a high level, and there will definitely be fluctuations.

But then again, will such a strategy really work for Berdych?Or, Berdych will give Anson a chance to come back?
The answer is actually no!
Ever since he decided to participate in this ITF hope match, Berdych's goal is to be the champion.

There is no doubt about this. With his current ranking and strength, as long as he is going to participate in the ITF Hope Tournament, then his goal must be the championship.

The key point is that before this, Berdych hadn't tasted the championship for a long time, and in the challenge competition of higher level, he suffered a lot and participated in it many times, but he stopped in the first two rounds , and even failed to pass the qualifying round.

Therefore, when he returns to the ITF Hope Competition this time, his desire to win is very strong.

In addition, he has now entered the finals and the championship is within easy reach, so he will not take it lightly.

In addition, in terms of tactical play, Berdych adopts the most common bottom-line all-around play, a very stable play.

Of course, as I said before, the same tactics, executed by different players, will produce different effects, which is related to their personalities and game strategies.

As for Berdych, whether it is in character or strategy in this game, there are only two words, that is steady.

It can be seen from this that An Sheng's passive waiting is actually futile!
Moreover, if he can't wake up in time, there will be no suspense about the result of the game, because time does not allow him to wait too long.

Fortunately, when the game reached the seventh game of the first set, some changes occurred, and it was also for An Sheng to realize his problem in advance.
