Chapter 243 Gathering
The time has come to April, and since then, until the beginning of June, the tennis tournament has entered the clay court time.

During this time period, there will be a large number of clay court events, including the French Open, and many ATP Tour events.

As I said before, the clay court has always been An Sheng's favorite court type. In addition, the style of play he is currently using is a defensive and counterattack style that is more suitable for playing on the clay court.

Therefore, a few months ago, An Sheng had already started preparations in advance, and discussed with Sandy, intending to arrange more competitions during this period of time.

It's a pity that there are still too few clay court events in China. At the challenge level, there are only two events in total. One is the Qamdo 50K+H Challenge, and the other is the Anning 150K+H Challenge .

As for the competition in Qamdo, An Sheng was basically sure that he would be able to qualify for the competition, but for the competition in Anning, it was a little uncertain.

A whole 150K bonus!This should be second only to the tour level, and it is also the event with the highest bonus level in the Challenger League.

Therefore, this event will inevitably attract many players to sign up. Among them, there must be many players from the top 100 ATP players, and it is not too surprising that there are players in the top 50 ATP rankings.

It can be seen from this that Ansheng's current ranking is nothing at all, which is why he is worried that he will not get a place in the competition.

However, even if he really can't participate at that time, he is not worried that he will not have a competition to participate in. After all, if he looks at it from a global perspective, there are still many competitions he can choose.

What's more, compared to China, for Sandy and the IMG company behind it, perhaps they are more powerful internationally.

Regardless of whether he can register or not, and whether he wants to go abroad to compete, there is one thing that An Sheng must not relax, and that is training.

Strength is the key factor in determining the outcome of the game. Everything else, including tactics, are only secondary factors. They have an impact on the outcome of the game, but they are not decisive.

An Sheng understands this truth very well, so since he finished the competition in Qujing, he has started high-intensity training again.

In particular, he has some expectations for the clay court time this season. He hopes that he can make a breakthrough. In this way, he will be more motivated when training.

By the way, regarding Ansheng's performance in Zhuhai and Qujing, his "opposition", or those who criticized him, basically had nothing to say, because the strength he showed was roughly the same as his ranking. is consistent.

As for the "supporters", that is, fans of An Sheng, they were a little disappointed, because An Sheng did not achieve better results after all, and his ATP points did not rise but fell, and his ranking also fell.

The most obvious manifestation is that the growth rate of the number of followers on its Weibo has begun to slow down, and its popularity has gradually faded.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Ansheng is probably just like this, and it is impossible to make any breakthroughs. After all, isn't this what people like Zhang Ze and Wu Di are like?
Their expectations were high, but the results were always disappointing, so much so that some fans couldn't even think about it.

Regardless of these, after An Sheng started training, he ushered in good news very quickly. Not only did he get the quota for the Qamdo station, but he also got a precious opportunity to participate in the Anning station.

This made An Sheng very excited, and naturally there was no reason not to train well.

An Sheng was very pleasantly surprised by the results of his training.

For one thing, it seems that the progress brought about by his technological transformation has not been completely exhausted before. This training has improved his overall attributes a little.

Secondly, his one-handed backhand technique has actually achieved a huge breakthrough again. In just a month or so, it has already increased to 76 points.

Judging from Ansheng's previous experience, the height of 76 points can already allow him to surpass most challenger players.

After all, generally speaking, tennis players' forehands are stronger than their backhands.

What's more, what An Sheng uses is the one-handed backhand technique, which is stronger than the two-handed backhand in all aspects except stability.

And this kind of growth also made An Sheng full of confidence in this "expedition".

On April 4, An Sheng and his team went to Qamdo together.

It is worth mentioning that in this competition, the contestants provided a double room for the contestants, but An Sheng's team had three people, but he couldn't ask Fortes, so Feng Enhao could only be wronged and let him Make a floor.

Feng Enhao understood this very well, and even proposed this method on his own initiative, which was very thoughtful and saved An Sheng from embarrassment.

In fact, up to now, Ansheng's funds are already a little tight. He originally had a bonus deposit of about [-] yuan, and later received a sponsorship of [-] yuan, but the total sum is only about [-] yuan. .

If it wasn't for the fact that Fortes and Feng Enhao didn't need him to pay the salaries in one lump sum, otherwise, An Sheng would have gone bankrupt long ago.

This is also one of the important reasons why An Sheng very much hopes that he can achieve something in these recent competitions.

Otherwise, he would have to ask for money from his family, or borrow it from others. Either way, he would be in trouble.

And after he arrived in Qamdo, he met several "acquaintances" without accident, such as Zhang Zhizheng, Zhang Ze who had dinner with him before, Wu Di, Bo Yang, and Wu Bingyi.

This time, it can be said that some of the more famous Chinese men's tennis players have already arrived.

An Sheng is well aware of their purpose. Like him, they are preparing for the 150K Challenge in Anning.

In other words, they want to try the water on the clay court and feel their own state so that they can better arrange the clay court schedule.

Except for Zhang Zhizheng, An Sheng did not mix with others.

In fact, An Sheng might not even want to see Zhang Zhizheng if he didn't seem to have integrated into the circle of several members of the national team and was afraid of his embarrassment.

After all, after coming to Qamdo, An Sheng's psychological pressure has gradually increased. At the same time, he is also using this pressure to constantly adjust his state, hoping that he can perform even better in the following games.

At this time, he definitely didn't want anyone to disturb him, and he wasn't used to getting along with other people.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhizheng knows An Sheng better, even if they are practicing together, or getting along with each other, they are relatively quiet, and each is working hard to prepare.
