Chapter 354 Comeback!

The game came to the second game, which was Tegasson's first serve game, and the situation of the game naturally changed.

The most important thing is that Tejasson, who has the right to serve, no longer needs to endure the process of "turning from defense to offense". He can directly use the advantage of serving to launch his offensive.

There is no doubt that under such circumstances, Tegason has the absolute upper hand.

However, An Sheng knew very well in his heart that at this time, his purpose was no longer to score points, but the most important thing was to consume the opponent's physical strength.

And if the scoring pressure is eliminated and the opponent's physical strength is only consumed, An Sheng feels that he can still do it.

"Oh!"

This is Tegasson's first serve in this game. His ball speed reached 196 kilometers per hour, and it was also a sneak attack from the inner corner of the line.

In this way, even if An Sheng made a prediction in advance, there was no way to let Tegason get an ACE.

By the way, although the French Open is fully equipped with "Hawkeye", it is the only one among the four Grand Slam events that does not support players to challenge.

In other words, even if An Sheng suspected that Tegason's serve might be out of bounds, since the line referee didn't call out, he could only accept the result.

What I have to say is that Tegason's ACE put a lot of pressure on Ansheng, because it is obvious that if Tegasson's serve can always maintain such a high level and hit many ACEs If not, then An Sheng's plan would naturally come to nothing.

"Oh!"

The next ball was still very fast, but fortunately, its placement was not as tricky as before, and An Sheng also relied on his predictive ability to successfully complete the return.

Immediately, Tejasson used his forehand to hit a powerful pump.

What is certain is that Tejasson's forehand offensive ability is really powerful. Not only is it strong and fast, but it also feels very good. Point, still has a strong control.

"Shh" sound!
Fortunately, this is a clay court, and An Sheng was able to barely hit the ball back by using his sliding step.

Subsequently, Tejasson also followed the conventional offensive method of pulling the space left and right, and attacked the ball to Ansheng's backhand.

As I mentioned before, in an attack, the first shot after serving is often the most threatening, because your opponent has just finished receiving and receiving the serve. In terms of stance, center of gravity, body coordination, etc. In an unstable state, and there is not much time for him to adjust.

But after withstood the first attack, your opponent can use the gap time in the middle to adjust his physical condition. In this way, the threat of your next attack will naturally be reduced.

Of course, if your first attack has already caused the opponent to lose their center of gravity, or lose their body balance, then naturally it has to be said otherwise.

The current situation is that An Sheng has not lost his center of gravity. On the contrary, in fact, in the process of using "sliding step" to swing his racket, he has already adjusted his physical state back.

When he finished his swing, he was able to restart quickly, returned to near the center line, and was ready to deal with it before Tegasson hit the next attack.

In this way, when Tegason attacked his backhand position, An Sheng was more prepared, and then he also played a high-quality defensive slice.

Although this cutting ball probably couldn't cause too much trouble to Tejasson, it went a step further and stabilized Ansheng's defense.

After that, even though Tejasson had always taken the initiative on the field, it was not as easy for him to kill An Sheng as he had imagined.

It wasn't until the seven or eight shots of the two sides' offense and defense that Tejasson was eager to strengthen the offensive, so he made an unforced error and lost the point.

However, this should be just an accident. After all, Tegason is not a young man. He may be impulsive, but he will soon realize this problem and control his emotions.

Sure enough, in the next ball, Tejasson became more patient, and changed his offensive strategy. He no longer insisted on scoring as soon as possible, but accumulated his advantages through a series of consecutive attacks, and finally forced An Sheng to There is a mistake in returning the ball, so as to get the point.

What is not suspenseful is that when Tegasson began to play more patiently, in his serve, An Sheng really had no chance to counterattack, and was always suppressed by the opponent's offense.

But having said that, since it is a patient continuous attack, and he must also consider that An Sheng has the ability to counterattack to win, so he must ensure his offensive strength, then Tejasson naturally needs to consume more physical energy.

In this way, the goal of Ansheng is achieved.

In the subsequent games, the two sides basically maintained this rhythm.

It was not too unexpected that in the seventh game of the first set, An Sheng was still broken by Tegasson, thus losing the first set.

Including the subsequent second set, there was not much change in the overall rhythm. Tejasson still relied on his own strength to win.

What must be said is that at this time, Tejasson had already realized that there would be problems with his physical fitness, but he did not make any changes.

This is because, according to the current rhythm of the game, he believes that his remaining physical strength is enough for him to continue, and he only needs to win another set to win the game.

But when the game came to the third set, the situation would naturally change drastically, because An Sheng started to speed up!

This point, from An Sheng's position, can clearly see the difference.

In the first two sets, An Sheng's position was relatively backward, basically half a meter to one meter away from the bottom line, but after entering the third set, An Sheng's position was obviously a step forward , almost standing on the bottom line.

The higher his position, the shorter his hitting time and of course the faster the pace of the game.

There is no doubt that An Sheng's change was caught off guard by Tegason, and it was difficult to adapt to it for a while.

That is to say, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, An Sheng seized the opportunity at the beginning of the third set and broke serve twice in a row.

By this time, Tejasson had roughly understood An Sheng's intentions, and he was also very decisive. Seeing that it was difficult to win the third set, he simply gave up, which would save him some energy.

And when the game came to the fourth set, both sides knew that this was the decisive battle between them, and whoever could win this set would be able to win the final victory.

What I have to say is that An Sheng really couldn't stand it when Tejasson made up his mind to spare no effort to exert his strength.

In the second game of the fourth set, he was broken by Tegason.

But fortunately, Tejasson's physical fitness was obviously exhausted. By the second half of the fourth set, he couldn't hold on anymore.

However, in this game, An Sheng still won very thrillingly.

He first broke serve in the seventh game with great difficulty, and then he was forced to enter the final tie-break.

Fortunately, he managed to win the fourth set.

As for the final fifth set, there was no suspense. Under An Sheng's fierce pursuit, Tejasson, whose physical fitness was obviously insufficient, quickly gave up resistance and surrendered.

In the end, An Sheng won three consecutive sets after losing two sets first, and won the match with great difficulty, thus advancing to the top 16 of this French Open, which is the semi-finals of the 2/4 area. .

And next, if nothing else, what he will face is Cilic, one of the "guardians" of the 2/4 zone, currently ranked seventh in the world from Croatia!
