Chapter 298 Control

Anson's first round is over.

According to statistics after the match, the success rate of his first serve was as high as 91%, and more importantly, his first serve scoring rate was actually over [-]%.

From this, it can be easily seen that An Sheng won relatively easily in this game.

Of course, what made An Sheng even more happy was the improvement he got after the game. Not only did he raise his mental attribute to 81 points, but he finally broke through the "endurance" attribute to the 80 stage.

From then on, An Sheng can be regarded as a player in the 80th stage.

Under such circumstances, An Sheng was naturally looking forward to his second match, but to his disappointment, his opponent was an unknown local player, Gomez.

Its ATP ranking is only around 200, and it is participating with a wild card, so its strength should be a lower level.

In fact, An Sheng's opinion was not wrong. The match between him and Gomez showed a one-sided situation.

Although An Sheng could see that Gomez worked very hard and wanted to win, but a clever woman could hardly cook without rice, and the gap in strength made his efforts seem useless.

This is probably what a weak person must accept. Fate is not in his hands. He can fight and resist, but the result is determined by An Sheng.

And this game, even though An Sheng was already consciously regulating it, in the end, it only lasted for an hour and a half.

An Sheng won easily again and advanced to the third round of the main match, which is the top 8.

By the way, the news of the game had already spread back to the country as soon as the game ended, and afterward, all the major online media rushed to report on it.

It has to be said that during this period of time, the popularity of the Australian Open has not completely passed. An Sheng's domestic attention is quite high, and his every move will be exposed.

Especially, when he won the game and had a positive image, the reaction and enthusiasm of the domestic media and fans were already somewhat fanatical.

Fortunately, An Sheng is now in a rising period, otherwise, once his status fluctuates and his grades decline, he may become the target of public criticism.

Just like Liu at the beginning, didn't he receive such "treatment"?

And back to the schedule, at 7:[-] the next night, An Sheng ushered in his quarter-finals.

His opponent is somewhat unexpected, because the opponent is still not a seed player, he is from the United States, and the current ATP ranking is only about 100 Lahm.

In the last round, Lahm upset the player from Russia, Godopolov, who is also the No. 5 seed in this tournament.

As for this, An Sheng is not as disappointed as before, because, as far as he knows, this Lahm is a late bloomer. Although he is 32 years old now, his recent game state is Quite hot.

To be more specific, that is, in his previous tour experience, Lahm has successfully entered the top 8, which made his ATP ranking soar and reached the current ranking.

It can be seen from this that, unlike the previous Gomez, Lahm is capable, and his current ranking may not be his limit.

Of course, this is just An Sheng's guess, and everything needs to be verified in the competition.

"Oh!"

The game started immediately, and An Sheng served first. Needless to say, the quality of his serve was as good as ever.

And Lahm's reaction speed is not like a "veteran" at all. Almost at the moment An Sheng sent the ball, he had already started, and accurately found the right hitting position, and then calmly completed it. Hair extension.

Correspondingly, An Sheng was not in a hurry. Seeing that Lahm's return was good and had already started to reset, he gave up his plan to attack by force. Instead, he played a trick and suddenly paused when he was swinging the racket. , and then continued to swing the racket, and hit a return ball.

This shot is actually very difficult, because it has a change in the rhythm of the shot, and it is also a change of line, but it is quite easy for An Sheng to do it.

But, even so, An Sheng's trick still failed to fool the experienced Lahm, and even when Lahm finished returning the ball, he still had the energy left, so he added more strength and tried To destroy An Sheng's offensive.

And this little action of his did not hide from An Sheng's eyes, which made him fully prepared.

In the next shot, An Sheng took his time and continued to attack Lahm's forehand, and the route was almost the same as before.

There is also a saying for this style of play, and it is a psychological warfare.

Ordinary people, after seeing that the opponent has already hit the forehand, will unconsciously guess that his next shot should be to attack the backhand.

At this time, it depends on the discipline of the players. If the discipline is not enough, and the center of gravity of the body is shifted blindly before the opponent's attack line is really determined, then it will be fooled.

What Lahm did was very good. He was very calm. Before he judged An Sheng's true intentions, his center of gravity remained stable without any inclination.

Therefore, Ram once again defused Ansheng's attack.

But in the next shot, Lahm still exposed a little flaw, or in other words, he made a small move, that is, he moved his stance a few small steps towards the forehand position.

And An Sheng observed this keenly, and immediately came to the conclusion that in the next shot, Lahm was going to fight back.

But now that he has discovered the opponent's flaw, An Sheng will naturally not let him succeed. In the next shot, he suddenly changed direction and attacked Lahm's backhand.

This time, Ram's plan was broken.

However, Lahm's competitive state and discipline are indeed very good. Although he intends to fight back, his center of gravity has not changed easily. That's why he was able to fight back again in this beat. Saved the ball back.

What he didn't know was that at this time, An Sheng had already started to get excited, because from this ball, he suddenly had a strange feeling that he had never had before, that is "controlling" !
It was as if he was able to see through all the opponent's intentions, and then, without any effort, he could easily decipher it, playing with ease, very freely.

This feeling was really amazing and made him so comfortable that he didn't even want to stop.

More importantly, he can really do it.

After that, under An Sheng's deliberate control, the ball took more than 30 shots. In the end, Lahm really didn't want to waste it, so he chose to take a risky attack, and then made a mistake, which ended.

And the situation of this ball basically foretells the direction and result of the whole game.

Both sides played very steadily, and in terms of hard power, they were evenly matched. Lahm might be even better. However, in terms of soft power, An Sheng had an absolute advantage.

Moreover, Ansheng's competitive state in this game and his physical excitement were even better.

In the end, An Sheng won the game again with a score of 2-0, thus breaking his best record on the tour and successfully entering the semi-finals.
