Chapter 323
It was no surprise that An Sheng defeated Opelka, who was unusually tall but average in overall strength.

But it must be said that in the professional tennis world, there really is such a group of special players, and their existence is reasonable. Although it is difficult for them to reach the top level, they still have a certain living space.

Therefore, it is not surprising to encounter such an opponent occasionally.

And when the game came to the second round, An Sheng's excitement was much higher, because his opponent, like him, was a yellow-skinned Asian.

He is Zheng Xuan, who is from South Korea and has a certain popularity in Asia and even in the tennis world.

For him, An Sheng actually knew something about him a long time ago. After all, Zheng Xuan and Kei Nishikori are currently the two best players in Asia, and they also know that sooner or later they will fight against each other in Asia.

According to Ansheng's understanding, in addition to possessing the excellent touch and running ability unique to East Asian tennis players, Zheng Hyun's biggest characteristic, or advantage, is his strong physical fitness.

To put it another way, among Asian tennis players, Chung Hyun's physical fitness is definitely top notch, not worse than other European and American players.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Hyun can stand out from many professional players, break into the top [-] in the world, and steadily stay at this level.

But, in terms of physical fitness, will An Sheng, who has a system, be worse than Zheng Xuan?
And the collision between the two top Asian players, without any suspense, has aroused widespread attention.

In particular, An Sheng and Zheng Xuan, compared to Kei Nishikori, belong to the younger generation of players, and the competition and comparison between them is more intense.

In addition, both Chinese and Koreans have a very strong sense of national pride, and as far as online public opinion is concerned, the two sides are not very friendly.

Hence, for the match between An Sheng and Zheng Xuan, a fierce war of words on the Internet was probably inevitable.

Of course, An Sheng definitely doesn't know about this now, but it has to be said that he really cares about this game and has an aura of determination to win.

At 4:11 pm on April [-], players from both sides entered the arena.

By the way, in professional tennis, Chung Hyun is a highly recognizable player. Apart from being Asian, the most important thing is that he is a "glass man".

Among professional tennis players, there are indeed not many players who wear glasses.

When the two sides were warming up, An Sheng could clearly feel Zheng Hyun's fighting spirit. It seemed that, like him, Zheng Hyun was also very high-spirited and had a strong desire to win for this game.

"Oh!"

The game officially started, and Zheng Xuan took the lead to serve.

The ball speed is pretty good, roughly reaching 180 kilometers per hour. This is also the level that a top tennis player must reach at least.

But for An Sheng, just relying on this speed of the ball can't pose too much threat to the opponent. With his current prediction ability and receiving ability, it is relatively calm to deal with it.

On this ball, An Sheng also completed the return very smoothly, and he was relatively conservative. He didn't make any special effort, and focused on testing.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Xuan launched his attack, and hit a diagonal line with his forehand.

But its offensive strength is relatively average. The ball speed is not fast enough, the line is not tricky enough, the arc is too high, and the flight time is too long, allowing Ansheng to have enough reaction time to easily complete the return and even launch a counterattack.

However, for the sake of probing, An Sheng had some reservations, and just responded with a diagonal spin in routine.

Afterwards, Zheng Xuan played left and right, trying to mobilize An Sheng to expand his advantage.

This is his usual style of play. The offensive is very slow. It takes a step-by-step accumulation to give him a chance to make a fatal blow, or cause the opponent to make a mistake, so as to complete the score.

Originally, both sides had already played six or seven shots, and Zheng Hyun had always taken the offensive initiative. Logically speaking, his advantages should have been accumulated long ago.

But in fact, Zheng Xuan didn't take advantage of An Sheng at all. His so-called advantage was only a little from the beginning to the end, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to exert his strength at all.

To be more clear, Zheng Hyun's offense did not pose any threat to Ansheng, and Ansheng's defense was very solid, giving Zheng Hyun no chance to exert his strength.

After that, the two sides went into a stalemate for two more shots, but the situation on the court was still calm. Even, judging from An Sheng's actions and expression, he seemed very calm and calm.

On the contrary, Zheng Xuan, who has been unable to attack for a long time, has begun to lose his strength.

However, he still has a bit of courage. The key point is that he is not willing to show weakness at the beginning of the game.

It must also be said that when facing stronger and stronger opponents, Zheng Hyun's style of play is passive and defensive. Therefore, it is actually a normal phenomenon for him to take the initiative to show weakness.

However, facing An Sheng, Zheng Xuan didn't want to do this. Although he also roughly felt An Sheng's strength, he still didn't want to admit it.

Because of this, in the next shot, Zheng Xuan suddenly exerted strength and forcibly hit a small diagonal attack.

And as I said before, he can't take advantage of An Sheng's hands, so the timing of his attack is actually inappropriate.

But his luck was really good, obviously the timing was not good, and he played very reluctantly, but it made him succeed.

"Ness!"

Zheng Xuan was very excited to win the ball. While shouting, he also gave An Sheng a demonstrative glance.

"Ha ha."

An Sheng noticed this, and then sneered.

"Oh!"

Perhaps the next ball was stimulated by the previous ball. The quality of Zheng Xuan's serve has improved, which made him feel confident.

But just a moment later, his confidence turned into panic.

I saw that facing his serve, An Sheng rushed forward two steps suddenly, then swung his racket, and accurately hit the high-speed bouncing tennis ball. Immediately afterwards, the tennis ball flew towards Zheng Xuan at a higher speed. backhand position.

Its speed was so fast that Zheng Xuan, who had just finished serving, couldn't catch up at all, and didn't even fully react.

"Nice!"

An Sheng also shouted, and at the same time, gave the other party a hard look, retaliated for his previous provocation.

What needs to be explained a little bit is that An Sheng's serve return just now was indeed very beautiful. Not only did he hit the ball forward, but also accelerated the rhythm, and he did a perfect job of controlling the line.

But in this process, An Sheng actually took a lot of risks. After all, Zheng Xuan's serve is not too weak. It is not as easy as it seems for him to complete such a high-quality return.

However, since An Sheng can play so perfectly, it can be seen to a certain extent that An Sheng will have the advantage in terms of sending and receiving links.

At this moment, An Sheng was very calm. He knew very well that the return just now was a bit risky. The purpose was to retaliate against the opponent's provocation and boost his own morale. Always take risks.

What's more, after the previous trials, An Sheng has basically understood that in the stalemate after the serve and receive, his advantage is actually greater.

"Oh!"

For the next ball, the two sides have safely completed the serving and receiving link.

Afterwards, Zheng Xuan was probably a little angry, and refused to admit his cowardice. He used his forehand and directly hit a change of line, attacking An Sheng's backhand.

At this time, Ansheng no longer needs to test, so he naturally does not need to hold back.

I saw that his reaction was super fast. The moment Zheng Xuan made a shot, he had already activated it, accurately found the best hitting position, and then, using his one-handed backhand technique, he slapped hard. hit.

This is a diagonal backhand stroke, the line is more conventional, but the speed and strength of the ball are much stronger than before.

But I have to say that Zheng Xuan's running ability is worthy of recognition. In addition, this place is also clay after all. Although it is a special "American clay", its basic characteristics still exist.

Because of this, Zheng Xuan still reluctantly saved the ball, and consciously picked the ball up, trying to buy himself more time.

However, his intention was counterproductive. He miscalculated An Sheng's hitting power, which made his lob shot of poor quality, and the landing point appeared in the midfield.

Without any doubt, An Sheng rushed to the midfield, and steadily completed a high-pressure ball to score the point.

On the next ball, An Sheng still performed strongly. During the stalemate between the two sides, he used his backhand again to complete a strong counterattack, and then scored another point.

At this time, Zheng Xuan finally came to his senses and realized An Sheng's strength. Although he was still not happy, he had to recognize the reality, take the initiative to confess, and handed over the initiative of the game to An Sheng.

Of course, it was rational and correct for him to make such a choice, because he was not superior in strength and naturally could not fight An Sheng head-on. He could only hope that An Sheng would make mistakes.

It's just that, he still doesn't know An Sheng well enough, and he doesn't know his slow-heating attribute. In the game, his state will always be stable and improving.

In other words, at the beginning of the game, An Sheng's strength was his bottom line, after that, his performance would only get better and better.

But now, Zheng Xuan had already voluntarily given up in the first round of the game, and it was still his serve. In this way, is there any suspense in the next game?

An hour and a half, 2-0, An Sheng won the game cleanly, suppressing the audience, and did not give Zheng Xuan any chance.
