Chapter 404 Position C!
An "advertising" attempt achieved good results.

On the second day after An Sheng won the Shanghai Masters Championship, his manager Zhou Yang brought good news to An Sheng.

"An Sheng, Warwick has contacted me, and they hope you can endorse their mobile phone products." Zhou Yang's eyes revealed excitement.

In fact, these days, it has really made him very uncomfortable. It’s not that there are really no merchants contacting him, but that before yesterday, there was no company they planned to express their willingness to cooperate with them. .

This point is the biggest difference between An Sheng now and before. He will no longer easily cooperate with ordinary companies, because it does not conform to his worth or his positioning.

That's why, together with Zhou Yang and Xiandi, he defined a general scope of business cooperation. Only companies within this scope would they really approach.

And "Huawei mobile phone" is within this scope, and it is the key cooperation object.

So, no wonder Zhou Yang was so excited.

Of course, this matter is just the beginning. As An Sheng himself said, he will face business cooperation with a more cautious attitude, so he will never make a decision lightly.

At the same time, since they already believed in Zhou Yang and they had already established the relevant bottom line, An Sheng decided to leave everything to Zhou Yang to handle and would not intervene at will, and believed that he would be able to do a good job.

On October 10, two days earlier than expected, An Sheng and his team went to Paris, France to participate in the upcoming BNP Paribas Masters.

The reason why he moved ahead of schedule was not because he was in a hurry to compete, but because he accepted the request of the race party to take a set of promotional photos for him.

Moreover, before the official start of the game, he also needs to cooperate with the event party to conduct an exhibition game and participate in a business dinner.

In fact, this is not the first time An Sheng has been invited to participate in an event, but this is the first time he has been regarded as the "main coffee", or "C position".

Even though there was another Djokovic participating in this Paris Open, An Sheng still became the protagonist!

It can be seen that Ansheng, who has won three consecutive championships, is really at the top of his game at this time.

Including many retired tennis stars, they have publicly stated to the media that it is only a matter of time before An Sheng wins the No. [-] ATP world ranking.

Even if there are still people who are dissatisfied with him, they will not choose to speak out at this time.

In addition, it is very worth mentioning that the reward that An Sheng can get for this consecutive few days of activities, including a commendation contest, is exactly 200 million US dollars!
It is precisely because of this price that An Sheng agreed to the competition.

The key is that there is only one person in the current professional tennis world who can achieve such a price, and he is Federer.

And now, An Sheng has also done it. Although he may have to do more things in comparison, no matter what, with this precedent, his future appearance fee will basically be set.

Of course, the premise is that An Sheng can achieve his goal and reach the number one in the world!

As for the process of the event, I won't go into details. Anyway, An Sheng is quite cooperative. After all, he is a talkative person after taking other people's money.

When the time came on October 10, An Sheng was free and began to adapt to the venue. The next day, he ushered in his first game in the Paris Masters.

By the way, after An Sheng came back, although he only participated in three events, he has already won a full 3500 ATP championship points.

Therefore, Anson's current ATP world ranking has reached No. 10.

And this time in the Paris Open, he was ranked as the No. 8 seed and was divided into the upper half.

In the same district, there are also good players such as Tim, Zverev, Coric, Isner and so on.

Anson's opponent in the first round was Hugo Herbert from France.

He is 1 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He was born in 79 and has just turned 1991 years old. It can be said that this period of time is the peak of his career.

But in fact, Herbert's results are really not outstanding, and he doesn't even have a championship title on the ATP Tour.

Including Grand Slam tournaments, he just went to play soy sauce.

Such an opponent, without a doubt, could not pose any threat to An Sheng today.

The only thing that made Anson a little bit interested was that Herbert's style of play, and even his appearance and appearance were somewhat similar to Djokovic, or he himself was imitating.

And in the process of An Sheng playing against him, he could also clearly feel this. For example, Herbert was trying to control the rhythm during the game.

But obviously, in front of An Sheng, his strength is completely unable to support him to do this.

In the end, it took only one hour and 10 minutes for An Sheng to easily defeat the opponent with a score of 2-0 and advance to the second round of the main match.

And one day later, An Sheng ushered in his second opponent, a professional tennis player from Kazakhstan, Mikhail.

In terms of strength, Mikhail is probably slightly better than the previous Herbert, but he is also a player in the first two rounds of the Grand Slam.

Therefore, the result was still clear, and An Sheng won again with a score of 2-0.

In the third round after that, An Sheng defeated Kacharov from Russia with the same score, and the whole process was quite easy without hindrance.

It wasn't until the fourth round of the competition that, to be honest, An Sheng finally became interested. His opponent was none other than his "old friend", Zverev.

It must also be said that in professional tennis, this kind of thing can easily happen, because there are only a dozen or so real top players in total. Maybe they can't meet each other in the previous rounds, but as long as they want to be more Further, then, they can always meet together.

Of course, there is also some "God's will" in this, just like the saying, the road to enemies is narrow.

It's just that now, Zverev will definitely still regard Ansheng as his competitive opponent, but Ansheng only regards Zverev as an ordinary opponent at the beginning.

And the result of this game also verified this point.

Although Zverev played very hard and was very impactful at the beginning of the game, but in the second half of the first set, the situation of the game fell into An Sheng's hands completely, and it has been maintained until the end of the game. at last.

As a result, An Sheng once again completed a "four consecutive victories", thus advancing to the semi-finals of the Paris Indoor Hard Court Masters.
