Chapter 222
With two champions and one runner-up, An Sheng gained a total of 64 ATP points from the Yinchuan event, which also brought him to the 298th place in the ranking.

This is quite meaningful, because his ranking has already broken into the top 300.

Based on this ranking, in terms of the entire Chinese men's tennis world, although he is not yet at the top, at any rate, he can be regarded as entering the first-tier ranks.

By the way, after An Sheng resumed his career in the professional arena and won the hope match championship again, he once again entered everyone's field of vision.

Even, after his ranking broke into the top 300, there was a small climax, and many media rushed to report on it.

This also proved once again that An Sheng's previous thinking was correct. As a professional athlete, performance is the most important thing. Once the results are obtained, the fame will naturally follow, and he does not need to specialize in training.

Of course, not drilling does not mean that there is no need to operate.

In fact, An Sheng believes that this may be just the opposite. The greater the person's reputation, the more necessary it is to operate.

According to his understanding, after you have a certain reputation, if you can manage it reasonably, then your reputation will be magnified, and the greater your reputation, the more you need to manage and manage it well, so that Form a good cycle.

It's a pity that he doesn't have an economic company yet, so the so-called management is just a fantasy in his mind. After all, he doesn't know how to run it himself, he just has a concept.

After finishing the race in Yinchuan, An Sheng only rested for five days before setting off again to Shencheng to participate in the two 25K hope races held there.

What needs to be mentioned in particular is that these two races are held in Futian District, Shencheng, but in fact, they are two separate races, which are not related in themselves.

This is a bit strange, because according to the regulations of the International Tennis Federation, the Hope Tournament must be held for at least three weeks, even if the prize money has increased, but after all, it is only 25K. In conversion, it must be held for two consecutive weeks to meet the rules. But in fact, they are only held for one week.

The reason why this is so is actually adapting to local conditions, because the Huaguo Tennis Association always likes to make a show, combining some events that were not paid much attention to by others, or are small in scale, to create some competitions. series.

Just like the youth tour that An Sheng participated in before, it belongs to the category of the series.

In this way, it sounds like it has indeed improved a lot, but in fact, it may not be as good as the original competition system, and the prize money allocated to each competition is actually less.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. In any case, it is always because of the attention and hard work of the Huaguo Tennis Association that there are so many professional competitions in China, and to a large extent, it has stimulated the enthusiasm of Huaguo local players. The rise, especially in women's tennis, has already formed a very good momentum.

In men's tennis, there are actually many young players emerging, but there is no arrow-like leader, so it always makes people feel very bad.

But having said that, An Sheng still attaches great importance to this Shencheng race, and his mentality is also different from before.

Before that, An Sheng could still use "exercise" as an excuse to make excuses for his failure, so the pressure to win the championship was not that great.

But now, he himself has reached the point where he can't make progress, and his goal is very clear, that is, to compete for better rankings and points, and to create momentum for him to join an economic company.

In addition, the facts have already proved that his strength, in this level of competition, is absolutely competitive to win the championship.

So, he no longer has any reason to find an excuse for his failure. If he can't win the championship, then he can only blame himself and nothing else.

In the first week of the competition, An Sheng really encountered a setback. In the quarter-finals, he lost to Michelle from Australia.

The fundamental reason is that An Sheng's competitive state has been unable to mobilize.

As a result, although his performance is still very stable, the initiative of the game has always been in the hands of Michelle.

And Michelle's state in this game has always been very hot, so he firmly grasped the situation of the game, and defeated An Sheng cleanly with a score of 2-0.

There is no doubt that this game, whether it is the process or the result, has made An Sheng very angry!
However, his mind is still clear, or in other words, this months-long slump has already made him alert.

He felt that there must be a reason for this, otherwise, according to the normal ups and downs, it has lasted for so long, and he should have survived the low tide period.

And when he recalled his experience in the past few months, he soon realized that his low tide period started with the resignation of coach Sun Binghua.

"Is this the problem?" An Sheng had to think.

But not long after, he denied this idea. Perhaps the departure of coach Sun Binghua had some impact on his mentality, but the impact should not be so great.

"But other than that, what's the reason?"

An Sheng thought hard for a long time, but still didn't get a clear answer, and because of this, he became upset and emotionally unstable.

But at this time, he suddenly remembered the words of coach Sun Binghua. At the beginning, he said that if you have any questions, you can ask him for advice.

The important thing is that An Sheng recognized Sun Binghua very much and was willing to share his troubles with him. Even if he couldn't find out the cause of the problem, at least he could have a place to confide in.

In fact, An Sheng just wanted to find someone to complain about, but unexpectedly, Sun Binghua immediately understood the key point when he heard it.

"Ansheng, I think you are thinking too much now?"

"Thinking too much?"

"Yeah, as a professional player, you should concentrate on training and competitions. It's best not to think too much about other things. By the way, you told me earlier that many agents are contacting you , how is it, do you like anything?"

"Uh, I haven't settled on the matter of the coach and the agent."

"Then you should finalize this matter as soon as possible, and the matter of the coach, you'd better settle it quickly. I know these two things are very important to you, but if you don't make them as soon as possible, how can you still decide?" Can you play with peace of mind?"

"Thank you, Coach Sun, I know what to do!" An Sheng thanked him sincerely.

I also have to say that there is an old man in this family, such as a treasure. In many aspects, Sun Binghua, who has been working as a coach for decades, is still very good at it. He understands many things very clearly.
