Chapter 284 New Season: Chennai Open

In this trip to Shencheng, the competition was meaningless. Even if she won the championship, she would not get much bonus, and there would be no ATP points, but Sandy's goal was achieved.

Ansheng has indeed become the target of many media, and his games have the largest audience.

With the exposure of numerous media, An Sheng's reputation has once again been improved. According to Sandy's evaluation, he can now be regarded as at least the second-tier sports star in Huaguo.

But as far as An Sheng is concerned, he finds it boring, the competition is not interesting, and the media's pursuit of interviews is even more meaningless.

The only thing that made him feel a little meaningful was an event before the game.

What is the purpose of this event?An Sheng actually didn't know much about it, but in this event, he played the role of a "coach" and stayed with a group of teenagers.

Before, An Sheng was always taught how to play by others, but this time, he wanted to teach children how to play.

In fact, at the beginning, An Sheng himself was at a loss. He knew many things in his heart, but he couldn't express them clearly, and he couldn't let the children understand.

Fortunately, An Sheng gradually got used to it.

But what made him unhappy was that he had just gotten used to the role of "coach", but this event was almost over and he couldn't enjoy it to the fullest.

"Ansheng, I think you had a lot of fun teaching just now." Zhang Ze, who also participated in this event, said to Ansheng with a smile.

"This is very interesting. I used to listen to others, but now I'm actually a coach, haha."

"Yes, you are different now. Many children will use you as a role model."

Hearing this, An Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he remembered a saying, "With great power, comes great responsibility." He didn't quite believe it before, but now it seems that there seems to be some truth.

The "Hua Guo Grand Prix" lasted for three days in total, including some activities before and after the game. Adding up, the entire itinerary lasted five days.

By the time An Sheng returned to Lucheng, it was already mid-December.

In other words, his new season is only half a month away, and this inevitably makes Ansheng a little uneasy, always feeling that something is missing.

He actually knew that there was nothing wrong with his current state, but the lack of complete training made him feel uneasy.

And just after he returned to Lucheng, Sandy told him a very good news, that is, he has successfully qualified for an ATP Tour competition, and the time for the competition was on January 2017, 1 day.

Undoubtedly, this once again increased the pressure on An Sheng, so much so that he had to give up his plan to go home and stay for a few days.

Originally, he wanted to use this to make up for the regret that he couldn't spend the Spring Festival at home, but now, he can't do it.

Fortunately, his family is very understanding and supportive of him, and they no longer have any doubts about him. Even if he has reached the peak of his career, he can actually fulfill his original promise. .

In this way, although An Sheng has some regrets in his heart, he can only wait until later to make up for it. Now, he must put his mind back to training and the upcoming tour.

As for the training content, there is actually nothing to say. Fortes has already formulated a set of basic tactical theories for him, and he only needs to follow the steps and practice slowly.

The key point is that the experience of the previous two challenges has basically been confirmed. This tactical change will not affect his strength, but will improve his strength to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to defeat Lu Yanxun so reliably.

In this way, An Sheng's focus is on the preparations for participating in the tournament, such as understanding the schedule, analyzing the contestants, and even the history of the tournament itself. He hopes to have a clearer understanding.

The tour he will participate in this time is the Chennai Open in India.

This is a regular ATP250 event, and its award scale has reached 50 US dollars. It is also one of the first two events to start at the beginning of the new season.

In fact, An Sheng actually signed up for the Chennai Open and the Brisbane International at the same time. The level of the two events is the same, and the prize money is almost the same.

However, perhaps because Australia is more attractive than India, more high-ranked players have signed up for the Brisbane International in Australia.

Because of this, An Sheng was able to rely on his ATP ranking and directly obtained the qualifying place for the Chennai Open.

It is worth mentioning that the Chennai Open is the only ATP Tour event in South Asia, and it is also held in India. It is not one of the most influential tennis events.

According to the current draw list announced by the tournament, although the Brisbane International has taken a lot of the limelight for this tournament, it seems that its lineup is not that luxurious, but in fact, compared to its previous editions, , is already very strong.

Among them, there are more than a dozen players ranked in the top 50 in the world.

In the world, there are many well-known players, such as Cilic from Croatia. In 2014, he won the US Open and was the Grand Slam champion.

Another example is Coric, who is also from Croatia, but much younger. He is only 19 years old. His record may not be as brilliant as Cilic, but at such a young age, he is already able to regularly Defeat the top ten opponents in the world.

That is, last season, he defeated Murray, who was ranked second in the world at the time.

This is enough to show how outstanding Coric's talent and potential are. His future is worthy of many people's expectations.

In addition, there are several famous players from Asia, such as An Sheng's old acquaintance Lu Yanxun, and Zheng Xuan from South Korea.

In short, for An Sheng, this kind of lineup is already luxurious enough, so that it is not easy for him to get out of the qualifying round.

Of course, this kind of opponent's strength is actually what An Sheng is looking forward to now. If the opponent is not strong enough, how can he force his mental attributes to improve, and how can he break through his 80 bottleneck?

On the first day of 2017, An Sheng and his team set off again to India.

It must be said that at this time, An Sheng's every move was very concerned, and the news of his departure for India was quickly reported by the media.

Many fans who supported him left messages on An Sheng's Weibo, expressing their blessings and expectations to him, but there are also some people who are expecting An Sheng to make a fool of himself. Maybe they are keeping silent now, but as long as An Sheng Underperform and they pop right out.
