Chapter 355 Lost suspense?

After fighting hard in five sets, he won the No. 13 men's singles in France and No. [-] in the world.

This made many people have to admit Anson's strength, and some people have already started discussing Anson and Zverev together.

In other words, they have admitted that An Sheng is a leader, even a leader, of the younger generation in today's professional tennis world.

However, there are always people who like to criticize. They recognize Tejasson, but he is already old, so An Sheng's victory over him does not mean that he can replace him.

An Sheng ignored this, although he could easily find a reason to refute it, for example, since you said that Tegason was old, why didn't you say that he was still young and far from reaching his level? What about the limit?

What's more, did they think that An Sheng's trip to the French Open was coming to an end?
In fact, what An Sheng wants is not only this, even if he is about to face the top players in the world, he still wants to take a few steps forward.

And Ansheng's opponent in the next round is the opponent in the semi-finals of the 2/4 districts. He is one of the top players in today's tennis world, Cilic from Croatia.

Cilic, who was born in 1988, decided to officially enter the professional tennis world and become a professional tennis player when he was 17 years old.

Three years later, the 20-year-old Cilic won his first tour title in the United States, and since then he has begun to make his mark in the world of tennis.

And in 2014, Cilic, who has been playing in the professional arena for 9 years, finally got his wish at the US Open and won the Grand Slam championship he dreamed of, and has been famous all over the world since then.

There is no doubt that Cilic's strength is very strong!

His physical fitness is absolutely top-notch. Although his height has reached 1 meters, this has not affected his moving speed at all.

In terms of technology, he is also close to perfection, with very solid basic skills and no flaws.

As for his tactics, he adopts the most popular bottom-line all-round style of play in the tennis world, coupled with his comprehensive skills, obviously, there will be no loopholes.

In this way, we can also draw a conclusion that as a professional tennis player, Cilic is quite perfect and impeccable.

In fact, we have also said before that tennis is a sport that requires a very high level of comprehensive ability. Therefore, it is basically impossible for professional tennis players who can reach the level of Cilic to pick out faults.

Of course, this does not mean that top experts like them are all printed from the same mold, but that their foundation is very solid and complete, and there is no possibility of loopholes.

But on top of this, they naturally still have differences, and these differences between them, reflected in the game, actually refer to their game style.

According to Anson's understanding, Cilic's game style belongs to the relatively rigid type, which looks a bit rough, but there are details in the rough.

What I have to say is that this kind of game style is not good news for An Sheng, because the opponent's rigidity means that he basically has no room for maneuver.

In particular, he still belongs to the weaker side. It is difficult to gain the initiative in the game, and it is difficult to drive the rhythm of the court. He can only passively fight Cilic hard.

An Sheng was very distressed about this, thought a lot, and discussed it with his assistant coach Thomas for a long time, but in the end, he still failed to come up with a practical solution.

In the final analysis, it is still the same sentence. The key to determining the outcome of the game is the hard power of the players on both sides. You can only rely on other means when the difference in strength is not too big.

And when the time came to 6 pm on June 3, the match between An Sheng and Cilic officially started.

It must be mentioned that this match, in this round of matches, is the match that received the least attention from everyone, and it is also the matchup that everyone thinks has the least suspense.

In fact, compared to the other games, the gap between An Sheng and Cilic, whether it is fame or strength, is indeed the widest.

Because of this, its attention is much smaller, and even the Huaguo audience, most of them actually think that An Sheng's chances of winning are not great.

Of course, as compatriots, no matter what, they naturally still hope that An Sheng can win.

"Oh!"

In the first game, Ansheng took the lead in serving.

At the beginning of the game, An Sheng had no reservations, and he chose to fight without hesitation. This was the only way he could think of to confront Cilic.

There is no doubt that this will increase Anson's turnover rate, but it can also increase Anson's hitting strength to a certain extent.

For example, the speed of this serve exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, and its route and landing point were both within his control. This level was undoubtedly higher than An Sheng's usual level.

And this time the fight-style serve did bring some gains to An Sheng. Cilic obviously didn't expect him to come to this move, and he was a little too late to react, which allowed An Sheng to get the first point of the game.

But it is also obvious that this is just an accident, not abnormal.

"Oh!"

For the next ball, An Sheng was still fighting. Fortunately, he still succeeded in this serve, and the serve was of high quality.

But with Cilic already prepared, it is still difficult to score directly with such a serve.

Fortunately, An Sheng had expected this. Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, he launched his next attack, which also adopted the fighting method, and completed a blow with his forehand.

It can be seen that the quality of An Sheng's forehand attack is really good. Whether it is in terms of ball speed or landing point, it basically hits the upper limit of his ability.

However, just hearing a "swish", Cilic used his sliding step to reach the hitting position in time, and then completed a counterattack.

As for An Sheng, who used fighting, he didn't want to give up the initiative when facing Cilic's counterattack, so he chose to attack.

But as a result, An Sheng underestimated the strength of his counterattack, which in turn caused his hitting error.

"Oh!"

Another ball, An Sheng made a mistake in the first serve, but in the second serve, he was still very hard. He didn't care about whether he would make a mistake, and still used the first serve to perform the second serve.

And his decisiveness also allowed him to successfully send a strike again.

But just like the previous goal, this didn't allow An Sheng to score directly, it just gave him a slight advantage in the sending and receiving link.

More importantly, An Sheng was still unable to maintain his advantage. In the next round of the contest, Cilic reversed the situation and changed hands.

Moreover, facing Cilic's attack, An Sheng really couldn't bear it.

Including the next two goals, An Sheng was defeated in the confrontation with Cilic and lost two more points.

In this way, at the beginning of the game, An Sheng was broken by Cilic in one game. The outcome of the game seemed to be exactly as everyone expected before the game, and the suspense was lost.
