Chapter 244 Advancement
Soon, Ansheng faced his first opponent in the qualifying round.

At the beginning, An Sheng was quite surprised when he saw the draw. He was none other than Bo Yang who had practiced with An Sheng.

"An Sheng, long time no see."

Shaking hands before the match, Bo Yang smiled and greeted An Sheng with a relaxed expression.

In fact, this probably reflects his mentality. For him, singles is not his main event. This time, he also signed up for doubles. Therefore, if he can break into the main match, it is naturally the best. But if not, it's no big deal.

But An Sheng was different. This time, he was determined to win. Therefore, facing Bo Yang's greeting, he just smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Of course, An Sheng will not be so ambitious, his goal is just to break into the top 4 of this competition.

But even so, to be honest, such a goal is still a bit high, because if the ranking is based on the players on the lottery, the No.4 player has already entered the top 100 in his ATP ranking.

However, An Sheng deliberately set his goal a little higher. Otherwise, even if he achieved the goal, he would have nothing to be happy about, and it would also make him lose motivation for the follow-up competition.

And the game, then began.

"Boom!" An Sheng served first.

Compared to before, his first shot success rate has been improved again, roughly 7%.

And his current serve, because its technical movements are more in line with his physical conditions, has increased its power, including control, a lot.

Bo Yang immediately completed the hair extension, but it seemed that he was reluctant.

And the quality of its return is indeed relatively poor, the ball speed is very slow, and the landing point appears in the midfield.

Seeing this, An Sheng didn't have to hesitate, and immediately rushed into the court, and hit a powerful flat blow with his forehand.

What needs to be explained is that although An Sheng is currently adopting a defensive style of play, he is more emphasizing his batting success rate, but of course he will not hold back when faced with such a good offensive opportunity. When it comes to killers, he will not be soft.

And An Sheng's attack was so swift and violent that Bo Yang didn't react at all, and could only watch. But even if he reacted, it would be useless. In his current position, it must be too late to catch up. .

From this ball, it can roughly reflect that there is already a certain strength gap between Bo Yang and An Sheng.

In this regard, both parties are aware of it, but their feelings are different.

As for An Sheng, he took it for granted, because he knew Bo Yang's strength before. After all, they had practiced together for a while, so they naturally knew that his strength was already superior to the other's.

But Bo Yang, his heart is not so peaceful.

In fact, before the official start of the competition, he always felt that An Sheng should still be weaker than him now. Although he also knew that An Sheng's strength must be improved compared to before, he did not expect that , An Sheng's progress will be so great that he is already stronger than him.

Regarding this point, Bo Yang still finds it difficult to accept it. Back then, An Sheng was just a younger brother who needed his care, and he had also been his training partner, but now...

And this discomfort, to a certain extent, gave Bo Yang some stimulation and improved his performance on the field.

However, the strength gap between him and An Sheng cannot be changed by a single thought of his.

In the end, Ansheng defeated Bo Yang with two big scores and successfully advanced to the second round of the qualifying round.

But his second round was not so easy. His opponent was Yosuke Watanuki from Japan.

Its ATP ranking is currently 218th, which is higher than Ansheng's current ranking.

More importantly, Yosuke Watanuki's style of play is also focused on defense, especially good at running and stalemate with multiple shots from the bottom line.

In addition, this is a clay court, which will give a certain degree of bonus to the defense of both of them.

In this way, it is almost certain that this game will be played very hard.

The fact is also true, and it is more difficult than An Sheng expected before the game. The reason is that Yosuke Watanuki is at the peak of his state.

As I said before, the state of players who have entered this level has a great influence on their strength.

If it is at the peak, then his level may even increase by more than [-]%, but if it is at the bottom of the state, the lower limit is even more difficult to predict.

In short, whether the player is in good condition is enough to reverse the result of a game.

And now, Yosuke Watanuki is in a very good state.

In fact, An Sheng did not realize that two months ago, this Yosuke Watanuki was not qualified to participate in this Qamdo competition, but during these two months, he played consecutively. A few good results, which made his ATP ranking improved by nearly 50 places.

But, then again, An Sheng is now at the peak of his state, and all aspects of the conditions have reached an unprecedented level for him.

Here, I also have to explain that so far, An Sheng has not actually realized the problem of state fluctuations. He only knows that players may experience state fluctuations during the game, which will affect their performance, but he does not know , Players at this stage will experience long-term state fluctuations.

As for An Sheng, who possesses the system, whether he will experience a long period of downturn like other players is still a question of suspense.

And back to the game, you can imagine what kind of situation this game will show when both players are good at defense and are in a very hot state.

To put it simply, every ball will almost enter into a multi-shot stalemate, and both sides will inevitably stick to the end. Only the one who sticks to the end can win the game.

However, during the stalemate between the two sides, An Sheng still had a slight advantage, and his advantage was of course his backhand.

In the end, after the whole game, An Sheng's backhand may have scored more than half of all his points, and the remaining half was caused by the opponent's mistakes after the two sides put in more shots.

It was after nearly three hours of fighting that the winner was finally decided, allowing An Sheng to qualify for the main event.

I have to say that this is somewhat unfair to the players who need to participate in the qualifying rounds. When it comes to the main round, they will definitely suffer in terms of physical strength.

Fortunately, An Sheng has long been prepared to face various difficulties, and he still maintains a good mentality, which is also conducive to his performance in subsequent games.
