Chapter 260 Recognize the reality
"An Sheng, you are too excited and need to relax!"

The first qualifying round was about to begin, and even Sandy could see that An Sheng was a little too excited.

It is naturally a good thing to maintain a certain level of excitement during the game, but if you are so excited before the game, this may not be a good thing.

But An Sheng didn't care about Sandy's kind reminder, because at this moment, he felt very good, and he was full of fighting spirit and confidence for the upcoming game.

And his opponent in this game is Zop from Estonia, whose ATP ranking is 118th.

Compared to him, Zop's ranking is already high enough, and his strength must not be underestimated, but An Sheng, who is very excited physically and mentally at this time, does not know why, but actually feels that he is sure to win.

This confidence is obviously a little abnormal.

At 9 a.m. local time, the game officially started.

"Oh!"

An Sheng was the first to serve. As soon as he took the shot, he secretly yelled "Oops" because his feel told him that he did not serve this ball well.

Sure enough, in this serve, his strength was not solid, and the angle was also very positive.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ansheng quickly started to complete the reset and prepare for the next defense. However, he just took two steps and stopped immediately.

Because he had already seen that Zopp on the opposite side suddenly took a step forward, and then used his hands to backhand and hit the tennis ball hard.

The next moment, the tennis ball flew towards An Sheng's backhand at a faster speed.

With such speed of the ball, such route and landing point, Ansheng had no time to catch up.

"Whoo~"

An Sheng froze for a moment, then let out a long breath of relief.

"Oh!"

The next serve, the situation has improved. As far as An Sheng's own feeling is concerned, it is still good. His movements are very stretched and his strength is full. He has almost exerted his upper limit of strength.

But to his surprise, facing his serve, Zoppe actually took another strong return attack, and it played a very good effect, directly forcing An Sheng to return the ball and make a mistake, and then scored another point.

At this time, An Sheng also realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the problem for a while.

In other words, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him. Instead, he felt that he was in a good state, but he didn't know why he was so sluggish in the game.

"Maybe it's because the opponent is in such a good state."

If he couldn't find a problem with himself, An Sheng felt that the problem might be with the other party.

"Oh!"

Before he had time to think too much, Ansheng fired another ball, but it was still the same. He felt that he had hit the upper limit of his ability, but the actual effect was very average.

Facing his serve, Zop once again chose to receive the strong attack, but this time, the effect of his strong attack was relatively mediocre, and the angle was not opened.

In this way, An Sheng thought that this was his chance to counterattack, and he had already seen a little flaw in Zop's position, so he rushed up quickly without hesitation, and then used his strongest one-handed backhand to hit a A diagonal line.

If it was in the past, An Sheng would be sure of such a ball, but this time, very unexpectedly, he actually made an unforced error and gave the opponent another point in vain.

But this time, the situation was a bit dangerous, because he lost three points in a row, and Zop had already got three break points.

"drink!"

An Sheng also knew that the situation was very bad, so he lowered his head and let out a muffled drink to cheer himself up.

But on the next ball, he made a mistake in his first serve, and the quality of the second serve after that was mediocre, Zop caught the opportunity to receive a strong attack again, and was beaten to death by him.

As a result, in the first game of the game, Ansheng lost four points in a row and was broken by Zopp.

Undoubtedly, this annoyed An Sheng very much, and what annoyed him even more was that he didn't know what the problem was now, so naturally he couldn't find a solution to the problem.

The game was still going on, but An Sheng's performance still didn't improve, and even, because of his restlessness, he played worse than before.

It only took 30 minutes, and Zopp easily won the first set of the game with a big score. Moreover, the situation was excellent and victory was in sight.

On the other hand, An Sheng is naturally at stake. If he can't adjust his state in the second set, then he may end his tour this time.

And thinking of this, An Sheng was very anxious, finally got the wild card of the tour, and came to France all the way, he never wanted to return empty-handed.

"what do I do!"

An Sheng was frowning and thinking, but the referee was already urging him to play and sternly warned him not to delay the game.

Regarding this, An Sheng didn't bother to worry about it anymore, but when he came to the court, he was still like a headless fly, and he couldn't find the north after being beaten by Zop.

In a blink of an eye, more than half of the second set was over, the score was 4-1, with Zop in front and An Sheng behind.

This also indicates that there is almost no hope for this game.

But at this moment, An Sheng finally woke up.

The fundamental reason is not in his emotions, but in the strength of both parties.

An Sheng overestimated his strength. He felt that he had made great progress before, but in fact, he had indeed made some progress. After all, his spiritual attributes had been greatly improved, but he wanted to To play the role of mental attributes, there is a prerequisite, that is, at least he must be able to compete with his opponents in the game.

In other words, only when he can resist and entangle with the opponent, his spiritual attributes can be effective.

Otherwise, just like this game, his own strength cannot match the opponent and he is in a state of defeat, so how can he possibly stimulate his spiritual potential?
After all, An Sheng's current hard power is still a bit weaker. Even if he is also a player at the 70th stage, once he meets an opponent like Zop who is at the peak of the 70th stage, he is already unable to resist.

Of course, his excessive excitement and blind self-confidence also caused abnormalities in his game state to a certain extent, causing him to not exert his best strength. However, these are not the key factors that affect the game, they are just acceleration. It's just his decline.

And when An Sheng fully figured this out, the game was over. There was no doubt that he lost, and he lost badly.

"Sandy, I think it's time for me to go back to China."

An Sheng walked out of the arena calmly, and this was the first thing he said after seeing Sandy.

It seems that this time the competition dealt a big blow to An Sheng, but this may not be a bad thing. It is better for him to recognize the reality than to immerse himself in illusion.
