Chapter 253
safe!Practical!
That's what viewers got after watching Anson's two qualifiers.

And this feeling makes many fans who follow Ansheng feel happy, because this kind of trait rarely appears in other Huaguo men's tennis players.

Too many times, they were full of hope before the game and felt very safe, but the result was that they were disappointed. Even if they won, it was always thrilling and scary for them.

But An Sheng was different. He won the two qualifying matches with no suspense.

At the same time, this roughly proves that Ansheng's strength has indeed reached the challenge level, and his current ranking is far lower than his true strength, which means that he still has a lot of room for improvement.

This point of view was articulated by many online media, and it helped An Sheng attract a large number of fans.

I have to say that in many cases, being a celebrity or a public figure is really inseparable from the media, such as An Sheng. Without them, he would definitely not be able to get the attention of so many fans now.

Of course, with An Sheng's current achievements, he is far from entering the mainstream media's field of vision. At most, he is on the Internet media, and only on tennis channels.

Among them, as a free agent outside the system, it probably has something to do with it. If it were another person, such as Wu Bingyi of the national team, if he had achieved these achievements, he would have already been on CCTV's sports news Come on.

However, Ansheng has no time to think about these issues now, and his mind is focused on the game.

It must also be said that this An Ning race was really rushed in terms of time. This was not only a test of his physical strength, but also a severe test of his psychology.

After all, he was still under pressure to perform in this competition. The string in his heart was always tight and he didn't have any time to relax it.

Back on the field, An Sheng soon faced his opponent in the first round of the race, Ernesto from the United States.

There is no doubt that compared to the Qamdo Challenge, the level of this An Ning Challenge is much higher, so even if this Ernesto is not a seed player, his ATP ranking is as high as 165th .

"Oh!"

Ernesto's first serve.

Just by listening to the sound, An Sheng can roughly feel its strength.

Sure enough, his ball speed is very fast. Although An Sheng's reaction is also very fast, this is the first match between the two sides. An Sheng can't adapt to the strength of the opponent's serve. He didn't control the racket well and hit the ball out of bounds. .

189!

This is the value displayed on the speedometer board, which shows that Ernesto's serve has reached a speed of 189 kilometers per hour.

"Not bad." An Sheng thought so.

This kind of serve speed is not the strongest among male players, but if Ernesto's serve can maintain this level, it is still very powerful and enough to pose a threat to An Sheng.

Of course, Ansheng was not panicked by this, because he was still very confident in his receiving ability. Ernesto's serve had not exceeded his receiving limit.

In addition, An Sheng was even thinking that if Ernesto was a "heavy gun" player, that is, the kind of player who is good at serving, then he might be more stable for this game.

"Oh!"

Another high-speed serve with a good angle, but Ansheng still managed to hit it back.

On the next shot, Ernesto took advantage of the victory and pursued. With his forehand, he hit a powerful flat shot and attacked An Sheng's backhand.

The speed of the ball was still very fast, and An Sheng then used a sliding step to barely save the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Ernesto launched another attack, but it was obvious that his attack was weakened and then exhausted. The strength of his attack was slightly weakened.

This also allowed An Sheng to catch up in time, and used his best backhand slice to hit the ball back.

Its quality is very high, and Ernesto was unable to catch up with his strength after attacking for a few consecutive shots. As a last resort, he had to give up the offensive and hit a transition ball with his backhand.

As for the choice of the line, Ernesto did not choose to play in a straight line for the sake of safety. He just hit the ball back the same way.

In this way, An Sheng's opportunity to counterattack came, and he did not hesitate. The next moment, he used his one-handed backhand technique to complete a full-body pumping blow.

"Snapped!"

The sound is very crisp, which also reminds that the contact time between the racket and the ball is not long, which can show that An Sheng swings the racket with great strength, and the position is very correct, and all his strength is converted into the kinetic energy of the ball.

And An Sheng's counterattack this time was actually not sudden, and the line was also the most common backhand diagonal. However, it was not easy for Ernesto who had just completed his reset.

There are two main reasons for this. One is that Ernesto is not very good at running, and the other is that his two-handed backhand technique has a defensive range that is slightly smaller than that of a one-handed backhand, and he is using both hands. In the backhand technique, the application of sliding steps is more difficult.

Of course, even so, Ernesto took action immediately. Halfway through the run, he stepped out with his right foot and slid on the red clay for a long distance with a "swish".

This series of movements is still very handsome, but in the end, his racket didn't hit anything, and he couldn't release his swing power, which almost brought him to the ground.

"Nice!"

After completing this beautiful counterattack winning point, An Sheng raised his arms and shouted.

Ansheng's celebration seemed to anger Ernesto a little, making him fight more and more fiercely in the subsequent games, but this actually made him fall into Ansheng's trap.

An Sheng is now worried that Anesto will not attack!
In fact, no matter whether Ernesto chooses to attack or not, An Sheng is already full of confidence in this game. The reason, of course, is the strength comparison between the two sides.

To put it simply, Ansheng roughly judged that Ernesto's hard power was about the same as him, and even worse than him on the backhand.

In this way, An Sheng didn't think he would lose to the opponent in this clay court.

But winning the game is also different. He may have to go through a hard fight before winning, or he may easily defeat his opponent.

Undoubtedly, An Sheng, who was not physically strong, of course hoped to end the game faster, so he hoped that Ernesto could play more impulsively.

This not only increases his active turnovers, but also reduces the number of rounds, thus shortening the game time.

And the final result was just as Ansheng expected. The game only lasted for an hour and a half. Ansheng defeated Ernesto easily with 6-3 and 6-4, and successfully advanced to the next round. .
