Chapter 205 Waiting to die?

"The seventh game of the first set is over. An Sheng lost his serve again. He is currently trailing 3-4 on aggregate. The situation is not optimistic."

Along with a screenshot of the live broadcast of the game, Qiu Shengshi posted the latest Weibo to continue the live broadcast of the game.

In the screenshot, An Sheng lowered his head slightly, was holding a towel in his hand, and was about to wipe off his sweat, but that didn't matter. The important thing was that the look on his face looked quite depressed.

The reason why Qiu Shengshi chose this photo was not only because it could fully show the situation on the field, but also to express his dissatisfaction with the game, or in other words, with Ansheng's performance in the game. Very dissatisfied.

Of course, don't get me wrong, Qiu Shengshi, as a senior tennis match commentator, can clearly see that there is a certain strength gap between An Sheng and Berdych.

Therefore, it is normal for Ansheng to be behind in the score now.

But what made Qiu Shengshi very dissatisfied was that in the competition, An Sheng's mental outlook was not good enough. More precisely, so far, he could not feel An Sheng's fighting spirit.

Knowing the gap in strength, he has already fallen into a passive situation, but An Sheng has not made any changes because of this, as if he has completely resigned to his fate.

Qiu Shengshi was extremely dissatisfied with such an approach, such an attitude, and even regretted it a little.

At the beginning, I shouldn't have been so impulsive, spending so much energy and time, and having to bother two colleagues to do the graphic live broadcast of this game with him, it was a waste of their time!
It's not just him. Many tennis fans who are following An Sheng and Qiu Shengshi are quite disappointed with An Sheng's performance in this match. Some anxious netizens have even given up paying attention.

This point has been clearly reflected in the messages and comments on his Weibo.

But back on the court, Berdych once again broke serve, making him completely behind in the score, which caused some changes in Anson's mentality.

Previously, although he had already been broken by Berdych, An Sheng still had a chance in his heart. If the opponent's state fluctuated, maybe he would be able to seize the opportunity and complete the comeback.

And even if he didn't get a chance in the first set, when it came to the second set, he believed that the situation would definitely change.

Therefore, he was still able to endure his temper, continue to maintain the previous game strategy, and calmly wait for the time to come.

But now, the situation is somewhat beyond his expectation. The most important point is that Berdych's strength may be stronger than he had previously judged. If he does not make changes in time, he may not be able to survive at all. I can't wait until the opportunity arises.

In addition, from the previous seven games, An Sheng not only did not see the decline of Berdych's state, but also noticed that Berdych's playing became more and more exciting, and his game state was getting better and better.

If this continues, the situation will be very unfavorable to him, which also makes An Sheng start to doubt whether his strategy will work.

And he didn't have time to think about it, the next round of the game had already begun.

"Oh!"

"It's the outer corner!"

An Sheng made a judgment and started it immediately, but the next second, he secretly screamed in his heart.

Sure enough, although An Sheng realized something was wrong and tried to speed up his swing as much as possible, he still didn't have time to let Berdych get an ACE.

"Huh~ His serve has become stronger again!"

An Sheng stared at Berdych opposite, feeling a little awe-inspiring.

An Sheng was prepared for the next shot. Berdych's serving strength had indeed improved a little, making it difficult for him to handle.

And when he finally completed the return, what greeted him was a fatal diagonal attack. The angle was very large, and the ball speed was so fast that he had no time to catch up.

The next two goals were basically the same. An Sheng was beaten helplessly.

In this way, Berdych scored four points in a row and easily secured his serve. He led 5-3 in terms of score. He only needed to win one more game to win the first set.

"I can't sit still and wait for death!"

"I can lose, but I must not lose so foolishly!"

By this time, Ansheng had actually foreseen the result, but he would be very unwilling to continue to maintain the previous strategy and passively wait for opportunities.

"No matter what, I will fight!"

An Sheng immediately made up his mind, since being passive is not enough, then he should adopt a more active style of play, even if he wants to lose, he must take the initiative in his own hands.

"Whoo~"

After readjusting his mentality and game strategy, An Sheng stood on the serve point and exhaled a long breath.

Looking up at the other party, An Sheng held his breath and concentrated, then gently tossed the tennis ball up in his hand.

"Oh!"

This serve is obviously not used before. Simply put, its power is greater, but its turnover rate also increases accordingly.

For example, in this shot, he, who has always served very steadily, actually made a mistake.

But in the second serve, An Sheng did not weaken the strength of his serve at all. This was also far beyond Berdych's expectations, causing some flaws in his serve return.

However, in Berdych's view, his return was good this time. Although he didn't have any strength and the speed of the ball was slow, it still landed relatively deep, which should be enough to weaken the opponent's subsequent attack.

However, at the next moment, he didn't think so.

Facing Berdych's reception, Ansheng will of course choose to attack, and his offensive intention is more intense. Faced with such an offensive opportunity, he wants to score directly!

As a result, An Sheng did not weaken his hitting power at all. At the same time, his route and landing point were directly aimed at the middle of the opponent's backhand sideline.

If successful, then this will be a winning point.

It's a pity that the sudden change of strategy and playing so aggressively not only frightened Berdych, but actually, it was also a huge test for An Sheng.

In addition, his attack this time is very risky, and if he is not careful, he will make mistakes.

Therefore, he failed and hit the ball out of bounds.

Moreover, it is 100% certain that in the subsequent games, he will make more and more mistakes, which is also testing his psychological endurance.

Outside the arena, Qiu Shengshi, who was still insisting on live broadcasting with pictures and texts, discovered An Sheng's change at the first time. This made him feel a little surprised, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In any case, he hoped that An Sheng could play more proactively, but he was afraid that he would be unable to hold on and collapse.
