Chapter 285 First Victory
On the first day of the new year, An Sheng came to the capital of India, Delhi.

This is a super big city with a resident population of more than 2500 million. In this world, it is probably slightly smaller than the capital city of China, ranking second.

Of course, compared to Kyoto, the modernization of Delhi City is still far behind, especially in the Old Delhi area, where the streets are narrow, the buildings are dilapidated, and the law and order are chaotic. It doesn't look like a metropolis at all.

Fortunately, the venue of the Chennai Open this time is New Delhi, which has the appearance of a city and is also a gathering place for rich people.

It is worth mentioning that An Sheng brought his entire team, including his agent Sandy, to the competition this time, which undoubtedly increased his financial burden.

But to An Sheng's surprise, Sandy took the initiative to bear her part of the expenses, or in other words, all the expenses of her trip were borne by herself.

An Sheng naturally felt a little embarrassed about this, and although his financial situation was not particularly affluent, he could afford it with just one more person.

However, Sandy still insisted, and the reasons are very good. This is her job and does not belong to Anson's team. As for her helping Anson communicate with the event party, she believes that it is only her voluntary help, not a working relationship. , There is no need for Ansheng to pay for this.

To put it simply, Sandy is a very principled person, especially when it comes to work, she will never miss a penny of the money she should get, but she will not take a penny of the money she shouldn’t, even if it is The same is true for what An Sheng offered.

An Sheng appreciates this.

In addition, it must be mentioned that since An Sheng suddenly "became famous", Sandy has been in a relatively busy state, and she needs to discuss with many people every day.

Originally, An Sheng felt that since he was not willing to cooperate with those businessmen, then Sandy naturally didn't need to deal with them.

But Sandy told him that she couldn't do this, and even took the initiative to take the blame for An Sheng.

To be more precise, that is, Sandy took the blame for offending these businessmen and sponsors on herself.

This situation made An Sheng feel strange again.

But according to her, she had to do this, because if the businessmen had a bad impression of An Sheng, then they would lose the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

But she is different, her identity is An Sheng's agent, and she will assume the role of "black face". Those businessmen may be very upset with her, but they will not be dissatisfied with An Sheng because of this.

From this, they also preserved the opportunity for them to cooperate with Ansheng. This is still necessary. After all, everything in this world is constantly changing. What if this originally small company develops in a few years? ?

Undoubtedly, what Sandy said was very reasonable, and she was thinking about An Sheng's future. This also changed An Sheng's view of her again, from the original contempt to the current approval.

However, that's all Sandy can help him with. When it comes to the arena, An Sheng has to rely on himself.

At 10:30 am on the second day, Anson was at the SDAT Tennis Center, ushering in his first qualifying opponent, and he was a local veteran from India, Ramanathan.

By the way, the Chennai Open is actually the same as the Huaguo Open. A large part of the purpose of holding the event is to revitalize the development of local tennis events.

After all, whether it is India or China, they are in a relatively backward state in terms of men's tennis, but their market is huge, they all need to be vigorously developed, and they have a lot of money.

And this Ramanathan is considered one of the more famous Indian men's tennis players. His current ATP ranking is about 150, which is not bad.

But when the two sides fought, An Sheng discovered that he had despised the other party before.

"Oh!"

Anson served first.

And his current style of play is paying more and more attention to the details of the opponent's movements. Just like just now, he discovered that Ramanathan's position is very close to the bottom line, and in the process of swinging his body, there is always a kind of The feeling of wanting to move forward.

Based on this, An Sheng came to the conclusion that Ramanathan probably planned to adopt a risky way of receiving and receiving hair to gain some advantages for him.

That being the case, An Sheng naturally couldn't let him do what he wanted, and wanted to catch him off guard, so his serve this time was a sneak attack from the inside corner.

Of course, An Sheng can't see the opponent's intentions before every shot, but he is currently trying to do so and is also developing in this direction.

The quality of his first serve was quite good, and it obviously made Ramanathan a little bit stunned, but the opponent still reacted in time and successfully completed the return.

An Sheng then took advantage of the victory to pursue and also tentatively attacked Ramanathan's backhand.

As a result, it was unexpected again. Ramanathan hit a backhand counterattack under the unfavorable situation, and it was a high-quality small slash, which made An Sheng helpless.

But is Ramanathan's backhand ability really that strong?

The answer is no. An Sheng can clearly feel this point, but the opponent has indeed played very well.

In the following games, Ramanathan's performance surprised An Sheng even more, not only his backhand, but also his forehand, which looked average in strength, but they all played very well.

The reason, An Sheng thinks, is that the opponent's game state is better, after all, this is his home field, and his state and fighting spirit are stronger than usual, which is normal.

With Ramanathan playing so well, An Sheng, who should be stronger, has fallen into a passive situation. In terms of scores, he has always been in a very anxious state.

But in the face of such a situation, An Sheng did not panic. First of all, he is a slow player, and his condition will get better and better as the game progresses.

Secondly, he feels that Ramanathan's strength and performance have not exceeded his ability to bear, and the opponent's current strength is in a very suitable position.

In other words, Ramanathan's performance was enough to put a certain amount of pressure on Ansheng, but Ansheng had strong confidence that he could defeat the opponent.

In the end, the facts also proved that An Sheng's feeling was not wrong, and it was better than he expected. It can even be said that it gave him a big surprise.

Because, when the game entered the middle of the second set, An Sheng got a temporary bonus of spiritual attributes again.

Thanks to the improvement of mental attributes, he can win the game more safely, but this is obviously not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this roughly proves that his plan to use "spiritual attributes" as a breakthrough to solve this bottleneck is correct, and it may be easier than he imagined.

Maybe it won't take too long for him to really enter the 80 stage!
