Chapter 365 Fulfilling the Promise
Among the four Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon should be the most popular one.

In addition to the fact that it is a grass court, which makes the competition more intense, the key point is that in Wimbledon, there are often some accidents.

It seems that as an audience, they all like this unexpected situation very much.

One of the surprises is the weather.

Due to the rain, the third round, which was originally scheduled for [-]:[-] p.m., was postponed for a full three hours and resumed at around [-]:[-] p.m.

There is no doubt that An Sheng attaches great importance to this third round, because he had clearly promised Audrey before that no matter what, he would pass the first three rounds of Wimbledon.

But what was different from the previous two rounds was that this time, An Sheng faced a real threat to him. He was a player from Germany, Gilles Müller.

At the same time, Muller is also one of the beneficiaries of Wimbledon's special ranking rules. Although his world ranking is not that high, he got the No. 16 seed in this Wimbledon.

His physical condition is very good, with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 93 kg. He has a lot of strength and good running ability. He can be regarded as a relatively standard European and American big man.

In terms of technology, with such a height, he undoubtedly has a very strong serving ability, and he also has very skilled net skills.

The most important thing is that his usual tactic is to serve the ball to the net!

In addition, he has a rather special place, that is, his clapping hand is his left hand.

After knowing the opponent's information, An Sheng can basically confirm that Muller is a tennis player who is very suitable for grass courts. It is no wonder that the Wimbledon committee has raised his seed ranking so much.

It also has to be said that facing such an opponent, An Sheng is under a lot of pressure.

At 7:7 pm on July 05th, the game officially started.

"Oh!"

Muller takes the lead.

And without any doubt, as a serve and net player, how could Muller's serve level be poor?

However, perhaps because he attached great importance to this game, An Sheng felt very good when the game started, his body was very excited and his senses were very sensitive.

In the first time, An Sheng judged Muller's serve route, and his body reacted extremely quickly, and then he successfully completed the return.

And the quality of Ansheng's return this time can be said to be quite good. Not only is the ball speed extremely fast, but also the arc is very low, the line is very short, and there is a certain angle.

But even so, Mueller chose to go online.

What needs to be explained is that, in fact, there has always been a relatively big defect in the serving and surfing tactics. The main problem is that if you want to execute the serve and surfing, then the player must be very decisive. After serving, you must run immediately. to the net.

But obviously, doing so is very risky, because when he chooses to go online, he actually doesn't know what kind of return his opponent will play.

Just like this ball, if Muller knew in advance that Anson could play such a high-quality return, then he would definitely not choose to go online, but the fact is that he has already gone online and has no chance to regret it.

That being the case, all he can do now is to bite the bullet and try his best to complete this extremely difficult aerial volley.

There is no doubt that the risk of error is very large!
As a result, although Muller's reaction was already very fast, he still didn't touch the ball.

This is where the loophole of "serve to the net" lies, and the risk is too great. If the quality of the opponent's return is high, it is equivalent to pushing yourself into a desperate situation.

"Oh!"

The next ball was somewhat beyond An Sheng's expectations.

He originally thought that after learning the lesson from the previous goal, Muller should play more cautiously, but in fact, Muller was very decisive and still firmly chose to serve and hit the net.

It has to be said that Muller's decision is very correct, and he must be very clear in his heart that this is actually the advantage of "serving the ball to the net".

As I said before, the risk of serving and surfing is very high, but at the same time, this is also the advantage of serving and surfing.

As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit!

The risk of serving the net is indeed very high, but as long as you successfully complete the volley in front of the net, then the success rate of scoring is also very high.

For example, with this goal, Ansheng's return was still good, but it was slightly worse than the previous one. The key was that it did not open up the angle, which gave Muller more time to react. , quickly found the interception position and intercepted it in the air.

And there is no doubt that the air volley in front of the net should be the method with the highest scoring rate in tennis matches. As long as the interception is successful, the score can basically be completed, because the reaction time it leaves for the opponent is too short. .

Including this ball, in fact, the quality of Muller's volley is not particularly good, and An Sheng's reaction is also very quick, but in the end, he still failed to catch up.

In the next few balls, Muller had one and only one style of play, that is, serve the ball to the net and make a quick decision.

For one of the goals, even if An Sheng got the break point, Muller played very resolutely, and his resoluteness successfully allowed him to complete the serve in this round.

Of course, some clues can already be seen from it. In this round of the game, although Muller finally completed the guarantee, he was given a break point by An Sheng.

That is to say, Muller's guarantee of serve is not safe, and the risk of serving and surfing tactics is still very high, not to mention that he is still the same, playing every ball like this!
In this way, being broken by An Sheng is almost inevitable, and it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, the key to the game is shifted to An Sheng's serve, and it depends on whether he can secure his serve steadily. If he can, then he can basically win this game smoothly, but if not, then There are still some suspense about the outcome of this game.

As a result, An Sheng's guarantee of hair can be said to be very smooth.

The key is that An Sheng's serve is too stable!Not only is the quality of the serve high, but the success rate of the first serve is as high as [-]%.

Under such a premise, no matter what method Muller adopts, it will be extremely difficult to complete the break.

In fact, after the whole game, An Sheng kept all his serve games quite easily. On the other hand, Muller couldn't achieve such stability. In the three games, An Sheng caught all of them. Chance, completed the break.

Especially in the third set, when he was eager to get back the score, Muller played very fiercely, but this actually caused him to make more mistakes.

In this way, Ansheng defeated Muller with a score of 3-0, advanced to the fourth round of Wimbledon, and successfully fulfilled the promise he made to Audrey before the game.
