Chapter 358 Restraint

Chapter 358 Restraint
An Sheng defeated Cilic and broke into the quarter-finals of the French Open. This is definitely a result beyond the expectations of most people.

Undoubtedly, this news caused quite a stir in China.

It's just that, when many Chinese saw the news that An Sheng had achieved the best results and broke records, they were a little immune, because the records that An Sheng had broken before were already enough.

This also corresponds to that sentence. An Sheng's journey along the way has been a process of constantly breaking records.

In the western media, this time, they can no longer ignore the existence of An Sheng, because Cilic is one of the top players in today's tennis world, and this cannot be denied.

Of course, it is still not convincing enough to let those arrogant Westerners recognize An Sheng's strength and status just by relying on this battle.

However, An Sheng actually doesn't bother to take care of them now, because whether they admit it or not, he is still him and nothing has changed.

After the semi-finals in the 2/4 districts, An Sheng's focus naturally shifted to the upcoming finals.

His opponent has already been confirmed. He is from Switzerland, who is currently ranked third in the world and is also the No. 3 seed in France this time.

What I have to say is that this is another "veteran". He was born in 85 and is now 32 years old.

But what is different from ordinary people is that Wawrinka is really a late bloomer. In his career, it was not until he was 28 years old that he set foot on the Grand Slam stage for the first time.

Since then, he has been out of control. In the 2014 Australian Open and the 2015 French Open, he won the Grand Slam championship for two consecutive years.

In addition, since he broke into the top ten in the world, he has dropped out of the top ten and has always maintained an extremely good competitive state.

Therefore, it is true that Wawrinka is a "veteran", but his physical function and game state are not comparable to that of ordinary veterans. He is still at the peak.

In terms of tennis skills, Wawrinka is also quite different from other top tennis players.

It has been said before that in professional tennis, it is almost impossible for players who have reached the world's top level to have obvious loopholes, but Wawrinka may be an exception.

Because there is an obvious weakness in him, that is, his running ability.

Of course, Wawrinka's so-called "weakness" does not mean that he is really weak. Compared with ordinary professional players, his running ability may still be his strong point.

It's just that his running ability becomes his weakness when compared with other top players of the same level.

This seems a bit strange. Since he has obvious weaknesses and his running ability is very important for tennis, then why can he remain in the top ten in the world and how can he win the title? To become a Grand Slam champion, twice?
How on earth did he do it?
Or is the point of view mentioned before, that is, the rule that there are no loopholes for top tennis players, wrong?
Of course not, this rule is still valid.

From this, we can roughly guess the reason, that is, although Wawrinka has weaknesses, he has a way to hide them, or prevent opponents from using them.

And this method is actually a very unique and extremely powerful ability of Wawrinka, that is, in the game, he can always strike first!

In this way, Wawrinka can always take the offensive initiative in the game, coupled with his strong strength in other aspects, under his offense, who else can mobilize him?Use this to target his running ability?
That is of course unlikely.

And even if Wawrinka meets super-top players like Federer and Nadal, he can still preemptively take the initiative.

However, it is also obvious that this does not mean that Wawrinka, who has the ability to strike first, is invincible, but at least, his unique and powerful ability can help him make up for his lack of running ability , and then form a perfect circle of competence.

In other words, Wawrinka is actually the same as other top players, and he has no loopholes in himself.

In addition, Wawrinka has another feature that makes An Sheng feel very tricky, that is, he has a very strong one-handed backhand technique.

Perhaps, Wawrinka's SLR technical moves are not as chic as Federer's, but in terms of practicality, his SLR is not inferior to anyone.

In this way, it is impossible for An Sheng to make a fuss about the backhand.

And after knowing all this, An Sheng can imagine how difficult it will be for him in this game.

First of all, it is almost certain that he will be passive in the game, even if he uses fighting methods, it will be difficult to change this.

Secondly, in the process of his passive defense, it is also difficult for him to find suitable counterattack opportunities.

Because according to the style of Wawrinka's previous games, his offense may not be as gorgeous or violent as others, but he can always control the scale and balance.

In other words, Wawrinka's offense itself did not deliberately pursue a certain victory, but while oppressing you, it also guaranteed its own success rate.

This style of play is undoubtedly very stable, and it is impossible for An Sheng to take advantage of it.

In the end, facing Wawrinka, An Sheng was unable to target the opponent's weaknesses, nor could he develop his strengths, and felt completely restrained by him.

In this way, after thinking about it, An Sheng had no choice but to go all out to see if he could have a chance of victory.

As for the result of the match between An Sheng and Wawrinka, An Sheng still lost in the end.

Of course, there was nothing to talk about in the first game. An Sheng, who hadn't turned on the attribute bonus yet, still had a big gap with Wawrinka in strength.

In the second game after that, An Sheng turned on the attribute bonus very decisively, but, as he expected before the game, even if he turned on the attribute bonus, he still couldn't win the game initiative.

In this way, he had to adopt the tactics of defensive counterattack, but in defense, he did not find too many counterattack opportunities.

Because of this, he lost again in this game.

In the third game that followed, An Sheng was naturally unwilling to be eliminated, but previous facts have proved that using defensive counterattack tactics will not allow him to win.

That being the case, An Sheng was also very decisive, adopting tough counterattack tactics, and wanted to head-to-head with Wawrinka to see if there could be a turning point.

It's a pity that An Sheng made a lot of voluntary mistakes in this game, and in terms of score, he lost even more.

All in all, An Sheng's current strength is still a little bit worse, and this time he met Wawrinka, who restrained him, so it is not wrong to lose.
