Chapter 221
Before winning the Hope Tournament championship, An Sheng had 25 ATP points, and the next two ITF Hope Tournament champions allowed him to get a full 75 points, which made his total points reach triple digits. A full 100, which also allowed his ATP ranking to jump directly to the 394th.

There is no doubt that, with his current ranking, there will be basically no problem signing up for any Hope Tournament, and basically there is no need to play in the Qualifying Tournament.

Of course, if he wants to get the seed player seat, he is probably a little bit worse now.

And after confirming his goal, which is to realize his current strength, to gain as many ATP points as possible, to strive for a higher ranking, and to win the favor of large brokerage companies, then An Sheng's focus will also be The change is no longer focusing on training, but more on participating in competitions.

But at this point, An Sheng still has a question, that is, should he participate in foreign competitions?
The focus of this question is on cost.

At the beginning, Chen Feiyang proposed to him twice to go abroad to participate in the competition, and was willing to bear the participation fee for him, but at that time, An Sheng did not agree.

But now, he is naturally not able to let go of his face and discuss this matter with Chen Feiyang, especially after the last "free sponsorship incident", there has actually been some gaps between them, and Both of them probably knew it well.

An Sheng needless to say, but for Chen Feiyang, after that incident, he rarely came to An Sheng on his own initiative, maybe he also had some knots in his heart.

Because of this, An Sheng was a little embarrassed about this matter.

Fortunately, after An Sheng studied this year's competition schedule, he didn't have to worry about this problem anymore, because in terms of the schedule, the professional competitions held in China can basically meet his needs.

Of course, some of these events, such as the higher-level challenges, are not really suitable for him to participate in. Maybe he can't even get a place in the qualifying rounds, or he can get the qualifications, but he can't Obviously, it is difficult for him to gain something in it.

But in general, the tournament schedule is relatively intensive, and he will basically not be free, and most of them are low-level hopeful matches suitable for him to participate in.

As a result, An Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to go abroad for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that An Sheng is actually a little worried about going abroad for competitions. After all, he has never been abroad since he was a child, and considering the cost, if he wants to go abroad for competitions, he will probably have to go alone. It made him a little uneasy.

When the time came to the end of June, An Sheng finally set off again, heading to Yinchuan to participate in an ITF hopeful match held there.

By the way, An Sheng has not participated in any professional competitions for more than two months now, which will obviously affect his popularity.

In fact, his previous popularity has long since passed, and his name has long since disappeared on the websites of major online media, and his Weibo has also returned to a deserted state.

Fortunately, An Sheng was mentally prepared for this, and he was not affected in any way.

This Yinchuan event is the 15K event with the lowest prize money. In addition, its start time coincides with the start time of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.

Therefore, it has received relatively little attention, and the quality of the contestants seems to have been affected, and the rankings are generally relatively low.

But this is good news for the local players in Huaguo. Not only did they get more places in the competition, but also to a certain extent, it increased their hope of being promoted.

Of course, this is nothing to An Sheng. Although he was lucky enough to get the No. 8 seed, it didn't affect him at all.

His focus is not here at all.

And by checking the complete lottery, An Sheng has roughly confirmed his opponents in this competition, mainly two, one is Takahashi Yusuke from Japan, and the other is Vishaya from Thailand .

The ATP rankings of these two people are both around 250, and they are the two highest-ranked players in this event.

And in terms of record, both of them have won the Hope Tournament champions, and they are also better than other players in this regard.

As for the other players, An Sheng didn't pay special attention to them, but this was not because of his arrogance, but because, with his current strength, he really didn't have many opponents in this level of competition.

And the facts quickly proved this point. In the previous rounds, An Sheng defeated his opponents very easily, and no one could pose a threat to him at all.

It wasn't until the semi-finals that he met Yusuke Takahashi, the top seed in this week's event, that he felt a little pressure.

It must also be said that An Sheng, who has not participated in the game for a long time, his current game state is actually relatively average. In this game, he just played at an ordinary level.

But in the end, he still won the semi-final with a score of 2-0.

The key lies in the fact that Yusuke Takahashi's style of play is a relatively passive defensive style of play. After the whole game, he did not put too much pressure on An Sheng.

In other words, at the beginning of the game, Yusuke Takahashi had already taken the initiative to hand over the control of the game to An Sheng, and as long as he could play steadily, it would be a matter of course to win the game.

And in the final, it really did not surprise him. His opponent was one of the two players he had followed before, Vishaya from Thailand.

Compared with Takahashi Yusuke, Viscia's impact is much more violent, and his style of play is also more aggressive, which caused some troubles for An Sheng.

Especially in the first set, Weishaya maintained a state of high excitement throughout the whole process. Although Ansheng still played steadily and kept all serve games, in the tie-break, Weishaya was in better condition. Ya, relying on its strong offense, won the victory.

But in the second set, it was still an old problem. Vicia was not able to maintain his good state, and his unforced errors gradually increased, thus losing control of the game.

And in the third set, Vishaya showed some signs of turning around. He played very aggressively in the first few rounds and had a good success rate, but after An Sheng resisted, his state was like The mountain waterfall is a waterfall.

In this way, there is no suspense about who will win.

In the next two weeks of competition, the situation was basically the same, but unfortunately, in the last week of competition, An Sheng only won the runner-up.

In fact, at that time, his game state was adjusted well, but he was a little tired after playing for three consecutive weeks. In addition, his opponent played really well, so he lost .

But in general, An Sheng still achieved quite good results in this Yinchuan race. Two champions and one runner-up have already gained a lot.
