tennis giant

Chapter 348
Regardless of whether he is convinced or not, An Sheng did lose this game, and was swept away by Zverev.

And when he calmed down completely, and recalled the entire process of the game, it was not difficult for him to find that at this time, he was really inferior to Zverev in terms of hard power.

According to his speculation, Zverev should have reached the peak of the 80 stage.

In this way, considering his age, it has to be said that Zverev is really a "tennis genius". If he can maintain his health, his future achievements may be able to create history.

Of course, the premise is that An Sheng does not appear.

After the game, An Sheng accepted a routine media interview.

"An Sheng, this is your first time participating in the Rome Masters, how do you feel?"

"good."

An Sheng was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more, but after thinking about it, he remained patient and continued, "The game atmosphere here is very good, and the audience is also very enthusiastic, but you can also see that my game state is not good. So, it wasn't a good experience for me."

By the way, the order of the names of the Chinese people and the names of the Westerners is exactly the opposite, but nowadays, Western media reporters generally cannot make mistakes.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Sister Na. When she first broke into the international tennis world, she was often called the wrong name, but in the end, she won everyone with her hard work and impressive results. The recognition, and therefore, is to let those Westerners know that her name is Li Na, not Na Li.

After answering this routine question, the questions raised by the few extreme media reporters gradually deviated from the direction.

"Ansheng, what is your evaluation of Zverev's performance in the game? What do you think is the gap between you and Zverev?"

"He's strong, I think, and he's one of the best professional tennis players in the world right now."

As for the second half of the question, An Sheng just ignored it. He has a good temper, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any temper. Especially, he is not in a good mood right now.

"In the previous Madrid Open and Barcelona Open, you lost consecutively to Nadal. What do you think about this matter?"

"He's Nadal, and I don't think it's unacceptable to lose to him on clay."

"Then do you think you will lose if you meet him next time? Or, have you found a way to deal with Nadal?"

"..."

"As one of the best players in Asia, what do you think is the gap between Asian players and European and American players?"

"..."

"Judging from your recent game performance, you have begun to show a downward trend. Will you accept this change calmly?"

"..."

An Sheng is really a little angry. He actually knows that he has not been recognized by everyone abroad. Many people think that he is just a flash in the pan and cannot last long. They always think that it is impossible for him to become a top-notch. Professional tennis player.

The key point is that these views of theirs have never been based on any basis, but only come from their arrogance and prejudice against people of the yellow race.

And An Sheng's recent performance in the competition is indeed not good enough, but they don't think about it, this is only the first season of An Sheng's entry into the top [-] in the world, and what he has to face are all the top players in the world , and even a player who has been famous for a long time, is it not normal to lose a few games?

You know, even if it's Nadal, or Federer, wouldn't they lose?Doesn't everyone still have this bad state?
What's more, in terms of current results, Ansheng's results this season are not bad at all. He has already won one ATP500 and ATP250 tour championship.

And the young players who can do this, besides him, there is no one else, even if it is Wei Lev, he has not even tasted a championship this season.

Why did this matter change when it happened to An Sheng?This is not prejudice, what else could it be?
In the end, Ansheng didn't say anything more, and left angrily with a frosty look on his face. On the same day, Ansheng left Italy and returned to China.

But, when he calmed down and thought about it afterwards, he felt that he was still a little impulsive. In fact, he didn't need to compete with the media that disrespected him so much, because it wasn't worth it.

But this matter is not over yet.

The day after Ansheng returned to China, the Japanese company Citizen called him. They believed that he had damaged his own image and would therefore affect the image of their Citizen company. They used this as a reason. He was actually asked to apologize to the Western media.

An Sheng gave a stern rebuttal on the spot, and bluntly said that if they could not accept it, he could terminate the contract.

What made him even more unexpected and dissatisfied was that Audrey, his new manager, actually thought that he needed to issue an apology statement to the public in order to restore his reputation.

This made An Sheng very angry and did not understand, but no matter what, he would naturally not make this so-called "apology".

"Audrey, it's hard for me to imagine that your attitude is like this. Maybe you, like them, have inexplicable arrogance and prejudice?"

"No, An Sheng, as your manager, I just hope that you will not suffer unnecessary losses." This is Audrey's reason, everything starts with profit.

And An Sheng didn't want to continue entangled in this matter. He only thought about it for ten minutes before making a decision, which was to terminate the contract with Citizen. For this, he did not hesitate to pay a lot of money. Liquidated damages.

What is not bad is that after knowing An Sheng's attitude, Audrey complied with his wishes and went to negotiate with Citizen in person.

From here, An Sheng could see that Audrey was indeed a person whose interests were paramount, not the arrogance he said before.

As for An Sheng's request to terminate the contract, Citizen Company did not set up obstacles for him. Maybe they also regret signing the endorsement contract with An Sheng now, so the two parties quickly completed the entire contract termination process.

In addition, they had not announced this matter to the public before, which reduced An Sheng's troubles to a certain extent.

I have to say that this incident really taught An Sheng a lesson.

Of course, this does not refer to his attitude towards the media. He will not change this point, whether it is now or in the future.

Rather, he does need to be more cautious in choosing commercial endorsements.

As for Audrey, An Sheng didn't fall out with her in the end. She couldn't be wrong about her principle of putting her interests first, which was her proper attitude as a manager. What's more, she finally complied with his wishes. .

Therefore, the cooperation between them can continue.

After that, An Sheng also thought about it for a while, but came to a conclusion, that is, the root of all this is actually his performance on the court. If he performed well, such things would happen again. ?
In the final analysis, he is a professional athlete, and everything comes from his performance on the field.
