Chapter 347 Disagree!

"An Sheng defeated the world's No. [-] Murray!"

For a while, this news appeared on Huaguo's major websites, but this matter only appeared on Huaguo's network, and major media including CCTV did not specifically publicize this matter .

The reason is actually very obvious, because in this game, An Sheng was a bit "victorious". In other words, a discerning person can easily see that this is not Murray's normal state, and this is not a game normal game.

All in all, the outcome of this game does not mean that Anson has the strength to truly defeat Murray.

After winning this game, An Sheng didn't pay much attention to it, he just regarded it as an accident, and then began to prepare for his next game.

His opponent is Alexander Zverev from Germany.

What I have to say is that in today's world tennis world, Zverev is the representative figure of the younger generation of players, and is also recognized as the leader of young players.

He is indeed very young. Born in 97, he just turned 20 years old not long ago, but his current ATP world ranking has already reached 16th.

And, just this time at the Rome Masters, if he can finally reach the final, then he will enter the top ten in the world.

It can be seen that compared with An Sheng, Zverev is indeed more dazzling and more favored by others.

And there is no doubt that in the face of Zverev, An Sheng felt the long-lost passion consciously, wanting to compete with the opponent, but it is also obvious that his physical condition is not what he wants. If you want to lift it up, you can lift it up.

Fortunately, An Sheng's mentality is still well maintained. For this game, the goal he gave himself was to do his best, and he didn't think so much.

At 5:16 pm on May 02, the third round of the Rome Open, the focus match, the match between An Sheng and Wei Lev officially started.

"Oh!"

Zverev took the lead in serving, and the speed of his first serve reached 208 kilometers per hour. The young him is full of explosive power.

And Anson's attention is still relatively concentrated, and before the game, through his assistant coach Thomas, he was already wary of Zverev's serve.

However, he still failed to catch the serve well. His physical reaction was a little slow, which caused him to not be fully in place when he swung the racket, the speed of the ball was slow, and the landing point was not deep enough.

Without any suspense, Zverev immediately stepped forward, and with his forehand, he simply and quickly completed a pumping attack, attacking An Sheng's backhand.

Its range of motion is small, which is to make his hitting time shorter.

In fact, An Sheng had already predicted this and ran towards the backhand position ahead of time, but in the end he still failed to catch up.

"Oh!"

On the next ball, An Sheng was still receiving the serve and suffered some losses, but fortunately, facing Zverev's first attack, he withstood it and responded with a very deep topspin ball.

According to common sense, his topspin shot is enough to reverse the situation on the court.

But just when An Sheng was about to take the next shot and launch his counterattack, Zverev was two meters away from the baseline and forcibly completed a counterattack.

And his attack with this shot has a very strange line. It looks like a high arc, but after the ball crosses the net, it falls quickly, like an "elevator ball" on a football field.

As a result, its landing point appeared in the middle of An Sheng's forehand sideline, forming a small slash.

Moreover, after the ball hit the ground, its rebound speed was extremely fast, which once again made An Sheng unable to catch up and lost this point.

At this time, An Sheng looked at Zverev on the opposite side with a scrutinizing gaze, because the other party's performance was beyond his expectations.

According to Anson's understanding of him before the game, although Zverev's tactical style of play is biased towards offense, his stalemate ability, or counter-offensive ability, is actually not strong.

In other words, when he is in a passive situation or a stalemate, Zverev lacks the ability to reverse the situation.

But as far as it is now, it is not the case.

"Oh!"

In the next ball, An Sheng slightly changed his tactics. He did not rush to launch a counterattack, but hoped to use his patience to allow the game to naturally enter a stalemate.

He did this because he didn't want to force Zverev into a situation where he had to play hard like the last goal. Instead, he used the method of "boiling the frog in warm water" to slowly sink Zverev into the quagmire. middle.

But in the end, An Sheng's plan fell through again, because after he slowed down, Zverev did not follow him to slow down, but instead seized the opportunity to continuously strengthen his offensive intensity.

On the fourth shot, An Sheng couldn't stand Zverev's offensive and made a mistake in returning the ball.

Obviously, this approach doesn't work either.

In the next ball, An Sheng still tried to drag the game into a stalemate, but Zverev didn't play at all, and played at his own rhythm.

The reason is actually very simple. It is because Anson's hitting quality is not enough, which prevents him from forcing Zverev into his trap.

To be more clear, Ansheng has a way to deal with Zverev and has set up corresponding traps, but now, he does not have the ability to lead the opponent into the trap.

Even, judging from his current performance, even if Zverev fell into his trap, An Sheng might not be able to "hunt" him, but would be killed by him instead.

In the final analysis, the key to determining the outcome of the game lies in the strength of both sides. As for Ansheng, his strength is not dominant now, and his game state is not as good as that of his opponent.

So, what is he fighting for?
And when the game came to Anson's serve, the situation did not change much. In particular, Zverev probably felt his weakness and played much more aggressively than usual.

In this way, even if An Sheng has the advantage of serving, it is still difficult for them to transition the game to a stalemate. Often, they will decide the winner between two or three shots.

In this way, An Sheng's plan prepared before the game was also bankrupt.

More importantly, Zverev has the characteristics of a very young player, and he especially likes to play with the wind. Once he has a smooth hand, it is really unstoppable.

Therefore, to deal with Zverev, you still need to press him firmly at the beginning of the game to make it difficult for him to play, and the subsequent games will be easy to play.

Of course, it is useless to say these things now. Although An Sheng has never given up, and the state of the game has picked up after that, the situation of the game has always been controlled by Zverev.

In the end, An Sheng was swept out by Zverev with a score of 0 to 2.

I have to say that this is a big blow to An Sheng. You know, this is the first time he has lost to a player younger than him since he entered the professional tennis world.

To put it simply, An Sheng was not convinced after losing to Zverev!
