Chapter 212

Before he knew it, An Sheng had entered the semi-finals of this tournament.

His opponent is Marti, a player from Spain. His current ATP ranking is 271 and he is also the No. 2 seed in this tournament. His strength is definitely not weak.

More importantly, in the previous rounds of competition, Marti defeated his opponents relatively easily, showing his good condition.

As for the style of play, there is nothing to say. It is the most common bottom-line all-round style of play. Of course, the bottom-line all-around style of play is naturally the most mature and has the most successful cases.

And when the two sides played against each other, An Sheng knew that Marti was likely to be the strongest opponent he encountered in this competition.

"Boom!

Malti takes the lead in serving, and his ball speed is quite fast.

Ansheng immediately completed the return, but his movements were relatively reluctant and he did not have good control over the landing point and line.

Turning his head, Marti hit a strong forehand.

This is of course not surprising, but somewhat unexpected by An Sheng, Marti actually hit a straight line in the middle. Such a line is still uncommon.

It is obvious that An Sheng can reach the hitting position relatively calmly when the angle is not large.

That being the case, An Sheng immediately decided to counterattack and use his forehand to counter-press the opponent, but the moment his racket touched the ball, he knew that he was a little underrated.

The strength Marti played was stronger than he expected.

Doesn't this mean that Marti's strength attribute is higher than Ansheng's, because Ansheng's strength attribute itself has reached 68 points, even if Marti is stronger than him, the gap between the two sides will not be too big.

The key is that Marti hit the ball just now, and he fully played out his power.

Correspondingly, Ansheng was always in the backhand position before. Although he had completed his position in time and his swing was very full, he needed to offset the opponent's power if he wanted to launch a threatening attack.

In other words, to carry out a strong counterattack under such circumstances is actually beyond the upper limit of An Sheng's strength.

And the result also verified this. Ansheng's strong attack was very smooth and coordinated, but it directly knocked the ball away.

For the next ball, after learning this lesson, An Sheng can no longer blindly attack. Facing Marti's strong attack, he needs to make several transitions first to reduce the opponent's attack.

Of course his idea was correct, but it was very difficult to do it, because Marty's game state was indeed very good, with a high success rate of attack, and he didn't give An Sheng too many opportunities.

And when the game came to Anson's serve, the situation obviously improved. Marti's game state is very good, but Anson's game state is not good?Obviously not!

In fact, in the last game, the pressure Ansheng put on Malti was not weak. As long as the opponent gave him a little chance, he would be able to attack and reverse the situation.

It's just that Marti's offensive success rate is so high that Ansheng didn't get a chance to turn it around.

But in his serving game, relying on serving, he can take the initiative from the very beginning, thus suppressing Marti, and pressing to death.

However, Marty also put a lot of pressure on An Sheng.

It can be seen that as long as An Sheng slows down his offensive a little, then Marti will immediately take a counterattack, which is very decisive, and his counterattack is very threatening.

Fortunately, An Sheng's competitive state is also quite good, and he has always maintained a high level.

More importantly, he is now very confident and full of confidence. This makes him more decisive when attacking, and also increases his stability and success rate.

As a result, in this game, although Marti was in a very good state, he still didn't get too many opportunities and was successfully secured by An Sheng.

From these two games, we can see that Anson and Marti are very close in terms of hard power, and they are also very hot in terms of game status.

In other words, they are now evenly matched, evenly matched.

But in the face of such a situation, the mental states of Marti and An Sheng are very different.

The former is under a lot of pressure, because he knows that his game state cannot be maintained so well all the time.

As the saying goes, one declines and another fails. When he failed to gain an advantage at the beginning, his good state will definitely decline. After all, this itself is not his normal state.

Therefore, he has to worry that once his state drops, the game will be controlled by An Sheng.

Of course, he is now taking a chance, because he guesses that An Sheng's current situation should be the same as his, and it is impossible to maintain such a high level in the future.

Because of this, he is clenching his teeth now, thinking that he must persist longer than An Sheng, so as to take the initiative in the game.

But Marti didn't know that An Sheng is very calm now, because he knows very well that he is a slow player, and the current state of the game is just his normal state. As the game progresses, his The condition is getting better and better.

It's just that, An Sheng was a little worried, whether this was just Marti's normal state, so while calming down, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and couldn't give the opponent a chance to show off his momentum.

With the insistence of both sides, the game was played extremely anxiously, the score rose alternately, and no one could pose a fatal threat to the opponent's serve.

Subsequently, the two sides entered a crucial tie-break.

At this time, An Sheng, as always, started his offensive routine and played more decisively.

However, it must be said that An Sheng's decisiveness may not necessarily bring him good results when the strengths of both sides are equal.

In fact, in this tie-break, An Sheng made a lot of mistakes, but Marti, who played more steadily, won the game.

"Whoo~"

At the end of the first set, Marti breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure on his body had suddenly eased a lot.

But this time, it planted the root of disaster for him.

To be honest, he really shouldn't let go of his "spirit" so quickly. Although this made him a lot more comfortable, as the saying goes, without pressure, there is no motivation. When the pressure on him is reduced, His game state can't be maintained.

More importantly, it is not so easy to readjust to this fiery game state once it declines.

And the fact is also the same. At the beginning of the second set, Marti, who was able to play on par with An Sheng before, and even had a slight advantage, immediately fell into a passive position, and then was continuously broken by An Sheng.

At this point in the game, Marti naturally woke up, but he was already weak. Even if he could return to his previous state, he might not be able to catch up with An Sheng.

Of course, if Marti had been vigilant before, hadn't been discouraged after winning the first set, and continued to pursue the victory, it is impossible to say that he would have been able to defeat An Sheng.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, and An Sheng will not give him a chance to comeback. After successfully winning the second set, he went all out in the third set and played his highest level.

最终，安生是以6比7、6比3、6比1的比分，拿下了这场半决赛，再次杀入决赛！
