Chapter 287 Another Victory
Relying on one's own strength to enter the main match is still very important, and it is also one of the criteria for judging whether a player is really capable of gaining a foothold in the tour.

Of course, just breaking into the main match is just getting started, because from an economic point of view, players are still at a loss, and only by reaching the top eight or even higher can they achieve a balance of income and expenditure.

This is the fundamental basis for judging whether it is a tour level.

Back to the competition schedule, An Sheng now felt that it would be good to participate in the competition abroad, at least he would not need to be disturbed by the media anymore.

Here, he is not a celebrity, and few people even know him, so naturally no one will bother him.

In addition, if he is in India, if he does not deliberately want to understand domestic information, he will not receive any public opinion about him.

As a result, he was able to devote himself to the game without distraction, and even his mood felt much more relaxed.

Also in a relatively quiet afternoon, An Sheng ushered in his first opponent in the race. He was the player from Argentina, Oliver.

Its current ATP ranking is 74th, and its style of play is the most popular bottom-line all-round style of play, which is nothing to say.

"Oh!"

The game officially started, An Sheng served first, and his quality was still good.

But he didn't want to, Oliver played very fiercely, and when he came up, he wanted to take a strong attack.

Perhaps he thought that An Sheng was a young player, so he wanted to show him off, but he obviously underestimated An Sheng's serving strength, which caused his return attack to fail.

"Oh!"

On the second ball, An Sheng remained unchanged and sent an outside corner.

After receiving the previous lesson, Oliver was not so stunned, and instead completed the receiving and receiving more normally.

Seeing this, An Sheng was actually a little disappointed. He really hoped that Oliver could fight harder, because in this way, he would also expose his weakness.

However, An Sheng's mentality at this time is still relatively stable. Since the other party is no longer aggressive, he is not in a hurry and will slowly test it out.

Afterwards, An Sheng used his forehand to routinely hit a diagonal line. Although the attack was not strong, the strike was deep enough to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

But at this time, Oliver was unexpected. He wanted to make a strong counterattack, and he succeeded.

However, when An Sheng saw his actions, he had already made an accurate judgment in advance, and when the opponent's counterattack came, his reaction was extremely quick.

Thanks to this, An Sheng took advantage of the opponent's counterattack and hit a rebound ball. The angle was so sharp that it was almost an unsolvable ball, so he scored this point.

And the process of this ball has really reminded An Sheng that in the game, it is best not to define the opponent in advance, just like just now, he thought Oliver had begun to admit defeat, but in fact, the opponent just Just another way.

Fortunately, he was very focused and made a timely prediction, otherwise, Oliver would really be caught off guard.

In the next two goals, Oliver did not change his aggressive strategy, and was always trying to use a faster pace to create trouble for Anson.

But An Sheng, who had already been vigilant, did not let him succeed, and successfully saved the first serve.

But even so, Oliver seemed to have made up his mind that he had to use his offense to defeat An Sheng, especially when it came to his serve, which was more obvious.

"Oh!"

Oliver's serving strength is pretty good, but it's about the same as An Sheng's, and it's not good enough in terms of stability. Naturally, it can't pose too much threat to An Sheng.

But just after Ansheng safely completed the serve, Oliver immediately launched a fierce offensive.

"Snapped!"

The sound is very crisp, which also shows that Oliver's kick is very strong and the hitting position is more appropriate.

Sure enough, his attack was extremely fast, and the angle was not bad, which was very threatening.

It's a pity that An Sheng once again made a prediction in advance, and he was already prepared in his heart, so that after he received the serve, he already took his position and took two steps back.

It was precisely because of this small move that An Sheng got more reaction time, which allowed him to defuse this dangerous attack.

Moreover, he took advantage of the situation and hit a backhand slice, which to a large extent restricted Oliver's next attack.

In fact, the attack after the serving and receiving link is usually very important for the server, and it is often the most threatening.

This is especially true when the difference in strength between the two players is not that big, but if this attack fails, then you should think long-term and don't be in a hurry.

Therefore, facing An Sheng's good-quality chipping ball, if it is a normal mentality to deal with, Oliver should need to slow down a little.

But Oliver didn't do that. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to end the ball, trying to hit a super high-quality straight line attack.

As a result, it was still the same as before. He underestimated An Sheng too much. For An Sheng's cutting ball, his judgment was not accurate enough, which led to another mistake in his attack.

For the next goal, Oliver still did not change his strategy, but he still made a mistake.

It can be seen that Oliver is very dissatisfied with his performance. After a few hits, he was muttering, complaining, or yelling at something.

But back to the game, he was still the same.

Such a situation, in An Sheng's view, was a bit strange and incomprehensible. It was not until after the game that he looked back at the game that he roughly guessed the reason.

Perhaps, before the game, Oliver had already collected a lot of information about An Sheng, and thus worked out a set of game strategies that he thought were good.

And in the game, even if the situation is unfavorable, he firmly believes in his own game strategy and executes it very resolutely.

It is also possible that he believes that the reason why this game was played so poorly is purely because he did not play well enough, not a problem with the game strategy, let alone An Sheng's problem.

All in all, Oliver was very stubborn, implementing his tactics, and persevering until the end of the game.

Under such circumstances, there was actually no suspense about the result of the match. An Sheng successfully defeated his opponent again and advanced to the second round of the main match.

After the game, even An Sheng himself felt a little weird, because in this Chennai Open, he seemed to be very relaxed all the way, and he didn't encounter too many obstacles at all.

Could it be that my strength has reached this level?An Sheng smiled and shook his head while thinking so.
