Chapter 357 Going one step further

"Pretty!"

"An Sheng used a backhand to win the ball. In this way, An Sheng took the lead in breaking serve in the second set and took the advantage!"

At this time, Qiu Shengshi, who was far away in Shanghai, was sitting in the studio.

And although the audience couldn't see his expression at the moment, they could easily hear how excited he was just from his tearing roar!
You know, Anson's opponent is Cilic, who is currently ranked seventh in the world and the US Open Grand Slam winner.

And An Sheng's current performance is not inferior to Cilic at all. In the game that just ended, he even won the opponent's four goals in a row and broke serve!

In other words, the strength shown by An Sheng is already capable of confronting Cilic head-on, and it seems that he has a slight upper hand.

In this way, doesn't it mean that An Sheng now has the strength of the top ten in the world?

For Qiu Shengshi, this was really too dreamy, it had been completed beyond his imagination, and it also made him uncontrollably excited.

Of course, the game is not over yet, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. Therefore, although Qiu Shengshi was very excited, he still maintained his sense.

Back at the Roland Garros stadium, the dull atmosphere in the stands has long since disappeared. The audience is full of enthusiasm and is full of expectations for An Sheng's performance.

"Oh!"

In the second game of the second set, An Sheng served.

And An Sheng, who had already gained momentum, played very fiercely. This serve also exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, which gave him a big advantage in the sending and receiving link.

Immediately afterwards, An Sheng played a wave of powerful and continuous attacks, which also allowed him to score this point.

For the next few balls, the situation was basically the same. An Sheng successfully completed the serve in this round.

But then again, is An Sheng's current strength really stronger than Cilic?This is clearly not the case.

The reason for this has actually been said before. For a professional player of Cilic's level, the key factor affecting his performance is his own state.

But in this "state", in addition to the desire to win, it also contains many other factors, one of which is "momentum".

In this way, the problem became clear. At this time, Cilic was suppressed by An Sheng in terms of momentum, which caused his state to decline and he did not exert his full strength.

In addition, there is another very important factor, that is, in a short period of time, it is difficult for Cilic to adapt to the change that An Sheng suddenly became stronger.

Of course, this is not to say that Cilic's adaptability is poor.

In fact, after discovering that An Sheng had suddenly become stronger, Cilic was already making corresponding adjustments, but although he had already made adjustments in terms of mentality and thought, his physical condition needed some improvement. It will take some time to adjust.

This is a problem that exists for almost all professional players. How to adjust quickly is also a problem they have to face, but Cilic is not the only one who is like this.

Even An Sheng, who is attached to the system, actually has such a problem more or less, but maybe it has the effect of the system, so this problem is on him, especially when he turns on the temporary attribute bonus , it was not so serious.

Under such circumstances, Ansheng played very smoothly in the second set.

In addition to breaking serve in the first game, he broke serve again in the fifth game, thus pulling back a set with a score of 6-2.

But it must be mentioned that in the second half of the second set, Cilic had actually completed his adjustments and adapted to the situation on the court, but he was not in a hurry to exert his strength.

Because of the score at that time, he was already behind, and it would be too difficult to get back, so he strategically chose to give up.

But when the game came to the third set, An Sheng still won.

The difference from the previous ones was that this game was played much more intensely and excitingly than the previous two games, because both sides of the game played very rigidly.

But this result seems a bit strange, because as I said before, An Sheng is just a "pseudo-80 peak", while Cilic is really a master at the peak of the 80 stage.

So why did Anson win?
The key is that An Sheng fought hard enough, even fighting.

And adopting the "fighting" game method can undoubtedly improve An Sheng's strength to a certain extent, as long as he does not make too many mistakes.

The fact is that An Sheng was indeed lucky, or it may be that his morale is high now, which allowed him to withstand the risks brought about by "fighting".

But in the fourth set after that, the situation changed again, because Cilic, who saw the situation was unfavorable and had no way out, also started to work hard.

At this time, the situation on the court had a very critical turn.

Originally, An Sheng was on the weaker side, but after he used fighting, his strength was slightly stronger than that of Cilic. Therefore, the initiative of the game was actually in An Sheng's hands.

But when Cilic also started to fight for his life, he, who was stronger in his own right, naturally took the initiative of the game back into his hands.

In other words, when both sides are desperate, the person who can decide the outcome of the game is Cilic.

As long as he can withstand the risks brought about by fighting and control the balance between his mistakes and winning points, then he will be able to win the game.

Of course, in this process, how much pressure Anson can put on Cilic can also affect the result of the game to a certain extent.

As I said just now, An Sheng also needs some time to adjust to the changes in Cilic. Whether it is mentality, tactics, or physical condition, he has to respond accordingly.

But it takes a certain amount of time, and therefore, in the fourth set, An Sheng's performance was not good enough to put more pressure on Cilic.

In this way, Cilic also took back a new set, bringing the two sides back to the same starting line.

And when the game came to the final and most critical fifth set, there was no doubt that An Sheng and Cilic had already stood on the edge of a cliff, and there was no way out.

Especially An Sheng, who is relatively weak in his own strength, there is no need to have any worries at all, just let go of his hands and feet to fight.

Maybe it's because of this that Ansheng is completely relaxed, but Cilic may still have some concerns, or of course it may just be bad luck.

In short, in the fifth set, Cilic's performance was not stable. Instead, Ansheng seized the opportunity. In the eighth game, he completed a break of serve and maintained the advantage of the break in the game. In the end, the game was won.

"Congratulations! We congratulate An Sheng, he defeated Cilic and successfully broke into the quarter-finals of this French Open!"

"He also once again broke the record held by himself, the best record of Huaguo men in Grand Slam tournaments!"

"And, I personally think that in the following competitions, it is entirely possible for An Sheng to go one step further, get better results, and even reach the finals!"

"..."

After An Sheng won the last point, Qiu Shengshi, who had already been unable to hold back his excitement, roared a little crazily.
