Chapter 305 Encountering a Strong Enemy Again
Since An Sheng entered the field of vision of Huaguo fans, many people began to look forward to his rise. Moreover, this expectation has become higher and higher as time goes by.

At first, they probably thought that An Sheng's ability to reach the level of Zhang Ze, Wu Di, and other Chinese national team players would be his limit.

But this goal, An Sheng only took a short time to complete it.

After that, everyone felt that if An Sheng could surpass his predecessors and break into the top 100 rankings in the world, it would be very remarkable.

But this point, An Sheng only took about a year to complete it easily.

And at this time, it stands to reason that people should expect him to go one step further and become the top player in the world tennis world.

But in fact, very few people have such expectations for him.

Come to think of it, they all thought that being able to break into the top 100 in the world was already the limit of Ansheng, and it was impossible to make a bigger breakthrough.

And among the few fans who have this expectation, they don't feel that An Sheng can accomplish this goal in a short period of time.

After all, men's tennis players are now at their peak, and their peak period is getting later and later. Many players reach the peak of their careers at the age of 27, 30, or even [-] years old.

Therefore, An Sheng, who is only 22 years old, is still very early.

However, An Sheng's recent performance has greatly exceeded their expectations, and his rising momentum is simply unstoppable.

From the top 8 at the Chennai Open, to the fourth round of the Australian Open, then the top 4 at the Ecuador Open, and now the top 4 at the Rio Open, and he still has a chance to go further.

All of this clearly shows that An Sheng has truly become a tour-level player, and that he is able to maintain a strong competitiveness in the tour.

In other words, An Sheng may not be among the top players in the world yet, but he is already one of the top young players with the most potential and the fastest rising momentum in today's tennis world.

It's a pity that Chinese fans and the media still seem to be unable to accept this fact, or they have a low self-esteem and don't care to confirm this.

Therefore, after the news of An Sheng's entry into the top four of the Rio Open was spread back to China, although there was another wave of praise for him, the response was relatively mediocre, at least it did not cause a sensation.

But back to the schedule, there is one person who has made An Sheng feel more and more dissatisfied, and it is none other than his current coach, Fortes.

First of all, he was very concerned about this point reported by the media, which made An Sheng feel that it should not be done.

What's more, no matter what news, good or bad, and without considering the situation at the time, he would tell An Sheng as soon as possible.

Fortes did this, and An Sheng was able to think of a reason for him. Maybe he just wanted to encourage An Sheng with this, telling him how much media attention he has now, so he must work harder to play well.

But obviously, An Sheng is no longer a fledgling young player. He doesn't particularly care whether he will receive the attention of the media.

That is to say, what Fortes did did not have an "encouraging" effect on An Sheng at all. Instead, it made An Sheng feel a little annoyed to a certain extent.

But this is not the main factor that caused Anson's dissatisfaction. More importantly, Fortes didn't pay much attention to the preparation before the game, and his ability was also insufficient.

This characteristic of him should also be derived from his work experience.

Because the players he brought before were all very young players with relatively low rankings, the opponents they encountered were very uncertain, and they might not find much information, so let them do a good job. Prepare before the game.

Before that, An Sheng's situation was indeed like this. Therefore, this shortcoming of Fortes was not obvious.

But now, the situation has changed a lot. An Sheng's strength is getting stronger and higher, and his ranking is getting higher and higher. The level of competitions he participates in has also improved a lot accordingly.

In other words, the range of Ansheng's current opponents has become smaller and smaller, and as his strength continues to rise, the range of players who can pose a threat to him will further shrink.

More importantly, An Sheng is currently in a process of rapid promotion from bottom to top, so many opponents are his first encounters.

This also highlights the importance of its pre-match preparations.

What's more, at his stage, his opponents are not Lulu's nameless people. Relatively speaking, the information is relatively easy to check, as long as they have the intention.

However, Fortes didn't do this. Even though An Sheng had actually reminded him, he still didn't pay enough attention to it.

And this also shows that Anson and Fortes have differences in concept.

To put it more clearly, Fortes' abilities and ideas are no longer able to keep up with Anson's rise. Although they are not slowing down, the help to Ansheng is almost negligible.

Even in terms of technology and tactics, it is the same.

"It seems that it's time for me too. It's time to think about changing the coach."

By the way, I would like to emphasize again that An Sheng has no sense of guilt about changing the coach, because Fortes is just an "employee" he hired, and there is no relationship between them.

Of course, An Sheng has only initially thought about this matter. It is not so urgent to implement it. After all, it is not so easy to find a suitable coach. In many cases, it may depend on luck. , or fate.

But back to the topic, An Sheng now naturally knows his opponent in the semi-finals, and he is Busta from Spain.

It must be said that Busta is a very strong tennis player.

In fact, when Busta first entered the professional tennis world, he was recognized as a genius. In the first year, he raised his ATP ranking to within 200. In [-], his ranking jumped to the top fifty in the world.

And, in that year, he won the "ATP Most Improved Player of the Year" award.

After several years of hard work, Busta's conditions in all aspects have gradually matured, that is, after entering this competition, his game state is very hot.

Currently, his ATP ranking has been raised to No. 15, and according to his current state, within this year, he is very likely to break into the top ten in the world!
There is no doubt that An Sheng has met a strong enemy again!
