Chapter 349 Prove yourself
In many cases, people have to experience some failures and setbacks before they can grow.

After experiencing this series of events, An Sheng's most direct change was that he started his regular training from the beginning.

In fact, since his strength reached the 80th stage, An Sheng has lost the enthusiasm for regular training. Most of the time, he is just doing warm-up, not as hard as before.

Although this is related to the strategy of "training with competition" that he set at the beginning, it is undeniable that after he has achieved certain results, he has indeed become a little lazy, and he is no longer desperate to improve his attributes. , Impulse to enhance strength.

But now, he has regained his original intention and is back on track again.

By the way, when Ansheng told Thomas that he hoped he could develop a training plan for him, he was extremely happy.

Speaking of which, during the period of cooperating with An Sheng, Thomas' life was not comfortable, and he even started to consider whether to terminate the contract with An Sheng.

At the beginning, the reason why he agreed to become An Sheng's assistant coach was to become a real professional tennis coach, but things went against his expectations. His previous job was basically just a "data clerk".

In this way, when he got the news, he was naturally very excited, and his long-lost passion was also ignited.

Including Feng Enhao, after learning that An Sheng wanted to restart the training plan, he was very happy about it, and it seemed that he suddenly regained his original work enthusiasm.

Even his manager Audrey seemed to agree very much after learning that Ansheng had started to formulate a new training plan.

For a while, Ansheng didn't know why. Just because of his decision to start training again, the atmosphere of the entire team changed drastically.

It's like a car that is about to be scrapped. It looks brand new overnight, filled with gas, full of power, and ready to rush forward.

And An Sheng is naturally very happy to see such a situation, including himself, and it is also in such an atmosphere that he has a firmer determination.

It must also be said that at this time, An Sheng was actually the first time to truly understand the meaning of the word "team".

From his past behavior, it can be easily seen that An Sheng didn't pay much attention to his team building before. Whether it was a coach or an agent, he didn't pay much attention to it. Think of it as a boss-employee relationship.

But obviously, this is not just an employment relationship, they are a team!He is indeed the core of the team, but others are also indispensable.

With the efforts of the team, especially Thomas, although he did not really perform his duties as a coach before, he has actually been working hard for this and is very well prepared.

In addition, Feng Enhao is no longer a novice now, and since he followed An Sheng, he has never left. He naturally knows An Sheng's physical condition very well.

In this way, An Sheng's training plan was quickly completed and implemented immediately.

Of course, since An Sheng hasn't had such a high-intensity training for a while, he naturally needs a process of adaptation, and now he has enough patience to slowly adapt to this rhythm.

The key point is that during the training process, An Sheng experienced happiness again, and even had a long-lost, very down-to-earth feeling.

When the time came to May 5, An Sheng led his team to set off on time to Paris, France, to participate in the upcoming French Open there.

There is no doubt that, as one of the Grand Slam tournaments, the French Open's tournament specifications are absolutely top-notch, and its total prize money has reached an astonishing 3598 million euros, or about 2.75 million yuan!

But, by the way, although the total prize money of the French Open seems to be very high, in fact, the French Open is still the lowest among the four Grand Slam events.

It can also be seen from this that, as tennis players, if they can become one of the top players, then the prize money and income they can reap are no worse than top basketball and football players.

In the men's singles event of the French Open, there are a total of 128 participating seats, including 32 seeded player seats.

In this way, An Sheng ranked 26th in the world and became the 24th seed of this French Open.

At the same time, he was divided into the 2/4 zone guarded by the Swiss star Wawrinka and the Croatian player Cilic. Their current world rankings are third and seventh respectively.

In the 1/4 area, it is guarded by the current world number one Murray and the eighth-ranked Japanese player Kei Nishikori; in the 3/4 area, it is guarded by the fifth-ranked Canadian player Raonic and The nine-time French Open champion is guarded by Nadal, who is currently ranked fourth; in the 4/4 area, there are Austrian star Tim and Serbian king Djokovic.

It can be seen that, except for Federer, none of the top eight professional players in the world is left behind.

As for why Federer didn't participate in the French Open?The reason for this has already been said before.

The French Open is the most tiring and difficult event among the four Grand Slam events. After all, Federer is old. Considering his physical condition, he also wants to prolong his career.

In addition, his performance in clay court events is not particularly good, so he has basically given up clay court events now, including the French Open, one of the four Grand Slams.

I have to say that this is actually a very regrettable thing, and it is also a big loss for the French Open. After all, Federer is still the player with the highest reputation and the most popular audience in today's tennis world. one.

As for this French Open, An Sheng's mentality is somewhat different from his previous participation in the Australian Open.

As I said before, at the beginning of this season, the main goal Ansheng set for himself was to compete in the Tour. He did not dare to have extravagant hopes for the Grand Slam tournament.

However, his current growth is obviously faster than he expected.

More importantly, Anson is more or less affected by external factors, including his previous loss to Zverev, who was younger than him, and his unfair treatment by the Western media.

He didn't say these things in his mouth, but they existed in his heart, which made him want to prove himself very much.

So how can you prove yourself?The French Open in front of him is the best platform. For a tennis player, nothing can prove his strength better than achieving good results in Grand Slam events!
