Chapter 269 Three consecutive championships

Probably the potential of technical improvement has been fully released, so in subsequent training, its effect is not too obvious.

However, An Sheng had already anticipated this, so not only did he not get angry about it, but he kept his mentality in a correct manner and followed the training plan in a leisurely manner.

Even so, An Sheng also believed that he would be able to truly reach the peak of the 70th stage in a short time, and there would be no further progress.

Unless he can find a way to break through the bottleneck, but he has no clue now.

And when the time came to September 9th, An Sheng set off for Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou Province, to participate in the upcoming ATP Challenger Tournament held there.

The level of the event is not high, and the total prize money is only 50K, but there is no way, in September, there is only such a challenge in their Huaguo.

It is worth mentioning that Sandy no longer opposes An Sheng's choice, nor does she ask him to compete abroad.

The reason is that An Sheng is indeed not lying. Every closed training of his can obviously improve his strength.

Moreover, he won two challenge championships in a row before, which really gave her a huge surprise, and already made her very satisfied.

In this way, she will no longer doubt An Sheng's arrangement for the time being, and will follow his choice as much as possible in terms of the schedule.

And just when their team arrived in Zhangjiagang City, Sandy got a piece of good news, which made Ansheng both nervous and excited.

That is, he has qualified for the Huaguo Open. Although this is only a wild card for the qualifying round, it still means a lot to him.

Especially at this time, An Sheng has already begun to think about crossing the ranks of the Challenger League and entering the Tournament level. Therefore, it must be very helpful for him to be able to use the wild card and experience the Tournament in advance.

Furthermore, this may also to a certain extent mean that their Huaguo Tennis Association has already recognized An Sheng, otherwise, as the organizer, they can completely ignore An Sheng.

What's more, An Sheng is still only the lowest-level customer of IMG, and they obviously won't have conflicts with the Huaguo Tennis Association and the Huaguo Open for him.

In short, An Sheng is very happy to be able to get the wild card of Huaguo Open.

Of course, turning around, An Sheng suppressed the joy in his heart for the time being and focused all his energy on the upcoming game.

The difference from before is that since his current ATP ranking has reached around 150, he directly entered the main match and is the No. 5 seed in this tournament.

In addition, perhaps because the prize money is too low, this Zhangjiagang Challenge did not attract too many players, including members of the Huaguo National Team, and only Zhang Zhizheng came to participate.

In the whole schedule, An Sheng has always played very stable and has enough strength to be competitive. In fact, he has not encountered too many opponents.

It is worth mentioning that there are probably two matches, one of which is the match between An Sheng and Zhang Zhizheng, and the other is the match between An Sheng and the top seed Zhuang Jisheng in this tournament.

As for the outcome of the game between An Sheng and Zhang Zhizheng, there is actually no suspense about it, but on the other hand, it is the game that has attracted the most attention in this Zhangjiagang Challenge.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Zhizheng put on a desperate posture very decisively. Thinking about it, he himself is very clear that there is a relatively large gap in strength between him and An Sheng.

His approach is obviously correct, and it has achieved good results. He even got a break point in An Sheng's second initiation game, but unfortunately, he failed to grasp it.

But this is enough to show that Zhang Zhizheng's game state, especially his fighting spirit, is still very good.

But when An Sheng came back to his senses and gradually found the feeling of the game, then, naturally, the control of the game fell into his hands.

Especially in the second set, even though Zhang Zhizheng played hard, he was no longer able to pose a threat to An Sheng. On the contrary, he himself made many active mistakes.

In the end, An Sheng also easily won the game with a score of 2-0.

However, after the game, An Sheng accepted the media interview on purpose, and also praised Zhang Zhizheng during the interview.

Don't think that An Sheng is just playing. He really felt Zhang Zhizheng's progress from this game, and he can roughly see that he really still has great potential. If he can persist Go on, his future can be expected.

In the semi-finals, An Sheng met the top seed of this tournament, Zhuang Jisheng from Taiwan, China.

Before the match, An Sheng was still looking forward to this Zhuang Jisheng, because he felt that Zhuang Jisheng's style of play was likely to be similar to that of Lu Yanxun, after all, they were from the same region.

But in fact, Zhuang Jisheng took another path. To put it simply, he still relies on his physical fitness to play. In terms of skills, he is far behind Lu Yanxun.

This made An Sheng understand that in the professional tennis world, probably only players with weak physical fitness like Lu Yanxun could use more skillful styles of play.

In any case, this Zhuang Jisheng still has some strength, and his physical fitness is indeed very good. Compared with An Sheng, he is probably not much different.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Zhuang Jisheng played more actively and had a lot of impact.

And An Sheng's response was very mature. He knew that the opponent was a player with strong physical fitness and full of drive, and this was the opponent's strongest advantage.

That being the case, he needs to find a way to contain the opponent's strengths so that his momentum cannot be brought out.

Therefore, An Sheng was not in a hurry to fight hard with his opponent. Instead, he deliberately slowed down the pace of the game and used more cutting and topspin to entangle the opponent.

After a while, it turned out that Zhuang Jisheng was a little irritated by An Sheng's style of play, and began to rush to attack, but he couldn't break An Sheng's defense.

In this way, not only did he make mistakes many times, but he also completely consumed the momentum he had at the beginning of the game.

That is to say, from this moment on, An Sheng took over the game, using his stubborn defense and sharp counterattack to completely control the game.

As for the result of the competition, it goes without saying that An Sheng won the Zhangjiagang Challenge.

After participating in three ATP Challenger matches in a row, An Sheng actually won all the championships. There is no doubt that this caused quite a stir in their Huaguo tennis circle.

Even, some people have begun to call him "Huaguo Men's Tennis No. 1"!
