Chapter 402 Beyond Federer?
After the game, reporters interviewed.

"An Sheng, we have noticed that in this match, you showed amazing resilience and were particularly excited. Is it because your opponent is Federer?"

The questioner was none other than ESPN reporter Charles who had bet with him before.

"Oh! Charles, compared to Jason, you are indeed a lot more 'insidious'." An Sheng expressed his inner thoughts unceremoniously.

"Ahem, An Sheng, why do you think so, I'm doing a serious interview."

"is it?"

An Sheng glared at him irrefutably, and then continued: "It does have something to do with Federer! As I said before, Federer is a legendary player, and it is my honor to be able to play against him, so I must also Keep your spirits up and take it seriously."

"But, An Sheng, you said before that your goal is to be number one in the world, so do you think that you are stronger than Federer now?" Charles asked impatiently.

"I don't think so. Even if I win this match, I'm still far behind Federer." An Sheng replied blankly.

"Really? But why do I feel that you just want to surpass Federer?" Charles did not show any weakness, looking directly at An Sheng.

"Hehe, since you know everything, why do you ask? Don't think I don't know, since your first question, you have been digging a hole for me!"

"Also, I have never tried to hide my ambition. Before that, I announced very frankly to everyone that my goal is to be number one in the world."

"And if I really do this, then I will target Federer, catch up with him, and surpass him."

"I know, you must think I'm arrogant again, but I don't care, because the facts in the future will prove all of this."

Surprisingly, An Sheng's remarks were supported by many fans after being disseminated by the media.

In fact, in today's professional tennis world, Anson is the first to reveal to the public that his goal is to surpass Federer's active professional players.

This is really because Federer's achievements are too high, ordinary players are not qualified to say this at all, and no one will believe it.

However, people have to admit that Federer is already old, maybe he can persist for a year or two, but after that?Without his professional tennis, how can he continue the previous glory?
Therefore, in many people's hearts, they actually hope that someone can take Federer's place, but before that, let alone surpass Federer, there is probably not a single professional player who dared to think of it.

The sudden appearance of An Sheng has satisfied the inner needs of this part of the people. The key point is that An Sheng's performance after his comeback is really impressive.

No way, maybe he can really create miracles, maybe.

After defeating Federer, Anson ushered in another top player in the world, he is Kei Nishikori from Japan.

Being able to occupy the top ten in the world for a long time, his strength cannot be denied, but it must also be said that facing An Sheng, Kei Nishikori's chances of winning are really low.

The key is that Kei Nishikori's technical style is a bit soft compared to other top ten players in the world.

In addition, in terms of hard power, he is at a disadvantage.

In other words, in his matches with An Sheng, he would always be at a disadvantage, and then give up the initiative in the game, not being tough enough, and even afraid of confronting An Sheng head-on.

And with Anson's technical stability, once he has the initiative in the game, how could he leave any chance for Kei Nishikori to stand up?
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that in the previous US Open, An Sheng would be unceremonious and leave such comments for Kei Nishikori.

And there was no surprise in this encounter.

仅消耗1小时零20分钟，安生便是以6比2、6比1的悬殊比分，轻松战胜了日本名将锦织圭，晋级到本次沪城大师赛的半决赛。

And one day later, An Sheng ushered in his opponent in the semi-finals, and he was the Croatian player, Borna Coric.

It must be reminded that this is Coric, not Cilic.

Although both of them are Croatian players, and they are both top players in the world's top ten for a long time. In addition, their technical styles are also very similar.

However, they are two people and cannot be confused.

Compared with Cilic, Coric is younger, and correspondingly, his achievements are also much worse.

To be more clear, in key games, Coric's performance was not good enough.

This point is quite fatal.

On October 10, at 16 pm, the score between Anson and Coric officially started.

In the first set, at the beginning of the game, Coric showed a strong momentum, not only by relying on his serve to secure his serve, but even, to a certain extent, he was able to cause a lot of damage to An Sheng's serve. shock.

For this reason, An Sheng adjusted his coping strategy in time, consciously began to slow down the pace of the game, and used more cutting and topspin to fight against it.

And the effect is still very obvious. After several rounds, Coric, who has never been able to break serve, has to start to slow down.

But once the pace of the game slowed down, Coric's momentum dissipated, and the game came under An Sheng's control.

In the fifth game after that, An Sheng seized the opportunity to complete the break, and maintained this advantage until the end.

And when the game came to the second set, An Sheng was sure that Coric would definitely exert his strength again at the beginning stage, intending to come back.

But An Sheng didn't want to dawdle with him anymore, so he did the opposite and chose to take the lead.

In fact, An Sheng guessed right, Chulic did have such a plan, and more importantly, he had no particularly good way to deal with An Sheng's sudden force.

Moreover, under An Sheng's strong attack, Coric was a little flustered and made a lot of mistakes inexplicably.

When he came back to his senses, the score was already too far behind, and it was obviously impossible to make a comeback.

In the end, An Sheng easily defeated his opponent with a score of 2-0 again and advanced to the final.

Not long after, news came from another venue that the No. 2 seed in the Shanghai Masters, Djokovic, defeated the No. 7 seed 5-6, 3-4. Seed Zverev, advanced to the final.

In this way, the two sides in the final have been decided, but it is the second match between An Sheng and Djokovic!
