Chapter 263 Incomprehensible
After the first round of the main competition, the results were quite gratifying. Zhang Ze, Wu Di, Zhang Zhizheng, and An Sheng, all four Chinese players who entered the main competition, all advanced to the second round.

Among them, An Sheng was very inconspicuous.

Especially Zhang Zhizheng, he has now become the new "star of hope" in the Chinese men's tennis world, and everyone's attention is mostly focused on him.

Anson didn't care about this.

Speaking of which, he can already be regarded as a veteran, and he has long since lost the excitement he had when facing media reporters. If possible, he would wish that no reporters would bother him during the game.

And Ansheng's opponent in the second round of the race was the Japanese player he had met before, Yosuke Watanuki.

At the beginning, they met in the qualifying round of the Qamdo Challenge. An Sheng defeated each other relatively easily, but Yosuke Watanuki's strength at that time was indeed not good enough.

However, in this competition, he performed well, and his strength should have increased. Otherwise, he would not have fought all the way from the qualifying rounds, and he has already entered the top 16.

But it is also obvious that Yosuke Watanuki may have made some progress, and the progress may not be small, including his game state, or it may be at the peak, but compared to An Sheng, his progress is naturally not as good as Up.

And this game, no matter the result or the process, there is no need to repeat it. In short, An Sheng won relatively easily.

So far, An Sheng has not attracted too many people's attention, but after that, it is already impossible.

I also have to say that in this Chengdu competition, several players from Huaguo performed really well. All four players actually broke into the quarterfinals.

But afterward, some of them must be eliminated, because when there are only eight players left, the four of them haven't met yet, the possibility is too small.

And the first ones to encounter were An Sheng and Wu Di.

"Angkor, long time no see."

Shaking hands before the game, An Sheng took the initiative to greet Wu Di, and Wu Di was also smiling and friendly.

"An Sheng, when I was in the Shanghai city team, I really didn't expect that you could grow so fast."

Hearing what Wu Di said, An Sheng smiled and said nothing. In fact, he heard the implication of Wu Di's words. At the beginning, Wu Di probably never expected that An Sheng's level could reach this level.

Of course, Wu Di should not be hostile. He just said this casually, so there is no need to take it seriously.

Then, the game officially started.

And both sides are professional players, although they are old acquaintances, but in the arena, there is absolutely no way to be soft.

"Oh!"

Wu Di took the lead in serving, but his problem was still that he lacked strength, which made his ball speed not fast enough.

In addition, the game has just started, he has not let go of his hands and feet, and he plays a little conservatively, so the angle of the serve is not too big.

Seeing this, An Sheng didn't hesitate, and immediately took a big step forward, and then used his forehand to slap him hard.

"Snapped!"

The tennis ball flew towards the corner of Wu Di's forehand at a faster speed.

It's a return attack, and it's of good quality.

But Wu Di obviously didn't expect such a situation. He was a little slower in reaction, and when he restarted, it was already too late.

An Sheng received a strong attack and directly scored a point.

"Oh!"

On the next serve, Wu Di made adjustments. After seeing An Sheng's ability to return the serve, he naturally couldn't let him do it. He had to strengthen the threat of the serve.

And his goal was achieved. It is true that Ansheng can no longer use the return service to attack, but he is capable of improving the quality of his return service.

I saw that An Sheng hit a rebounding serve, the ball was still fast, and the angle was very sharp.

Fortunately, Wu Di was very focused and caught up in time, using a forehand spin to resolve the crisis. He also wanted to test Ansheng's backhand.

But the next moment, what greeted him was a one-handed backhand.

There was a "snap", the sound was very clear, and in the blink of an eye, the tennis ball had already appeared in the corner of the opponent's backhand. The speed of the ball was so fast that Wu Di couldn't react.

An Sheng hit another winning point!

At this moment, Wu Di was a little surprised, including the audience at the scene, and the audience who were sitting in front of the computer watching the live broadcast, they all felt a little unbelievable.

"Could it be that An Sheng's strength has surpassed Wu Di?"

"No way? Wu Di is the No.1 in the Huaguo Men's Tennis!"

"Tch! Don't talk nonsense. The game has just begun. Who knows what will happen next? Or maybe these two goals were just accidents."

While Wu Di was surprised, he didn't panic at all, because he also felt that this might just be an accident, and it was hard for him to believe that An Sheng's strength would surpass him.

"Oh!"

Wu Di served again, and the quality of his serve was getting higher and higher. In terms of strength, there was not much change, but the angle was already becoming more and more threatening.

Facing Wu Di's high-quality serve, An Sheng was not in a hurry. He quickly rushed two steps to one side and blocked the ball back. At the same time, he also had the ability to slightly control the landing point and make it as close as possible The opponent's bottom line.

But obviously, his ball speed is relatively slow, which finally gave Wu Di the advantage of serving, and then he can attack.

"Snapped!"

Wu Di hit a forehand flat, which was relatively safe on the diagonal.

In his opinion, this attack has a high probability of not being able to score directly, but its threat is enough, at least it can allow him to expand his current advantage.

This point is Wu Di's current style of play. He does not have a particularly strong lethal ability. He needs to rely on the accumulation of multiple shots to complete the score.

But he obviously miscalculated An Sheng's ability. Even though it was a hard court, without the bonus of sliding, he was still able to catch up in time despite his running ability, and forcibly completed the counterattack.

Of course, An Sheng himself played defensively and counterattacked, so under normal circumstances, he would not be so eager to attack unless he felt that this was a good opportunity to counterattack.

In fact, Wu Di's attack just now made An Sheng think that it was an opportunity to counterattack, and Wu Di's positioning made an obvious mistake.

This is a somewhat taken-for-granted approach. After completing his attack, Wu Di subconsciously believed that An Sheng's return would be more difficult, the quality would not be too high, and he would probably choose the safest diagonal.

Therefore, in terms of positioning, Wu Di only ran two or three steps to the center line, and then stood still, waiting for An Sheng to hit the ball to the corner of his forehand.

In this way, when he found that An Sheng actually hit the ball towards his backhand position, even if the speed of the counterattack was not too fast, he still had no time to catch up.

An Sheng scored a winning point again. In the first game, he was already leading 40-0. As long as he scored another goal, he could break serve.

But at this time, Wu Di was of course aware of the crisis and began to get a little nervous, especially since his opponent was still An Sheng, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

Wu Di really didn't want to lose this game!
"Oh!"

Wu Di's fourth serve, when he was nervous, stimulated his energy to a certain extent, and the speed of the ball increased significantly.

And An Sheng was not in a hurry, and just returned a safe hair extension.

Afterwards, Wu Di launched his offensive and learned the previous lesson. From the beginning, he did not hold back and attacked with all his strength.

He first hit a forehand diagonally, and because he was so powerful, he did not give Ansheng a chance to counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Di decisively chose to change the line, and hit An Sheng's backhand with a straight line.

But his offense ended here, because An Sheng immediately responded with a high-quality backhand slice from the backhand position, which was enough to destroy Wu Di's offensive rhythm and forced him to play offensively. Insufficient transition ball.

And An Sheng seized this opportunity and used a one-handed backhand straight attack to complete the counterattack and score, thus completing the break in the first game.

"Wow~"

At this moment, the audience at the scene couldn't help but gasped in amazement. While marveling at An Sheng's precise backhand, they were also feeling incredible about the situation of the game.

Before the game, most of them were actually more optimistic about Wu Di. After all, he was a veteran who had been famous for a long time and seemed to be more trustworthy.

Among them, there may be a small number of people who think that An Sheng can win and support An Sheng, but they never imagined that the situation of the game would be one-sided.

Even the viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet were already shocked at this moment. It was hard for them to imagine that An Sheng's strength was so strong that he was strong enough to completely suppress Wu Di.

But back to the game, when the right to serve returned to An Sheng, the scene was probably predictable.

With four goals in a row, An Sheng easily secured his serve. Facing his high-quality, high-stability serve, Wu Di was very difficult to deal with.

Moreover, even if he blocked An Sheng's first attack, in the subsequent multi-shot contest, it was obvious that An Sheng had the absolute upper hand.

At this stage of the game, An Sheng felt that Wu Di should have changed his requirements, because if he didn't come up with effective means, then he would lose the game.

But to his surprise, under such an unfavorable situation, Wu Di did nothing, and continued to fight according to his previous rhythm.

After realizing this, An Sheng secretly shook his head. He couldn't understand what Wu Di was doing. He knew that this wouldn't work, so why didn't he even dare to fight?
"Perhaps this is his style."

At the end of the match, An Sheng had no suspense. He played two sets in a row and qualified for the next round.
