Chapter 420 Stand Out
"Hey~ Isn't this the famous Sports Illustrated reporter Jason? How did you appear here?"

As soon as he walked into the venue, An Sheng looked at Jason who was sitting in the corner of the first row in surprise, with a surprised tone, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Ahem, An Sheng, I..."

Jason was very embarrassed. Of course he knew that An Sheng was deliberately teasing him.

"No need to explain, Jason, it's hard for me to imagine that with your pig brain, you haven't been fired from your newspaper? I don't know what the boss of your Sports Illustrated thinks. It's a pity that I'm not your boss. "

"But! This is my press conference, so I have the right to shut you up."

What he said made Jason turn purple with anger. No one had ever said that he was a pig. "But I am a reporter, and I have the right to ask questions."

"Hehe, if you dare to say one more word, I'll leave right away." An Sheng immediately replied coldly.

This time, the other reporters in the venue all stared fiercely at Jason. It seemed that if he dared to speak again, he might offend everyone present.

Forced to have no choice, Jason had no choice but to shut up, but what made him even more angry was that the first reporter Ansheng called on was actually Charles next to him.

Especially the mocking look in Charles's eyes made Jason almost unable to hold back and wanted to beat him.

"An Sheng, regarding your previous games, can I understand that you deliberately slowed down the pace and used the game as a substitute for training, or is there another reason?"

An Sheng nodded without denying it.

"I do have the idea of ​​using games as a substitute for training. After all, this is the first event I have participated in this season. I need to use a few games to re-adapt to the game atmosphere and adjust my state."

"An Sheng, according to the current ATP ranking, if you can reach the finals of this Australian Open, then you will have a high probability of being promoted to No. [-] in the world. What do you think about this?"

"Hehe, I don't need to think about it, because it will happen sooner or later, doesn't it?"

Such a reply can be said to be extremely strong, but the reporters present were all beaming, and today's news headlines have come to fruition again.

"An Sheng, what do you think of Edmund? What do you think of his strength?"

Hearing that, An Sheng glanced at the reporter, and then thought, he hadn't commented on other players for a while, and he was also quite interested in this Edmund, so he didn't refuse to answer.

Of course, there is no accident, Edmund is the opponent Anson will face next, that is, the opponent in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.

"As you all know, I don't like Zverev very much. Oh yes, unfortunately, I can't personally send Zverev out, because he was already eliminated in the third round of the main match."

"As for Edmund, I am actually not very familiar with it, but I do appreciate his style of play, which is simple, violent and effective. I only hope that he can maintain this style when he is playing against me. , on the offensive end, let’s show it off!”

After speaking, An Sheng got up and left immediately.

The reporters didn't have any complaints about this, and they were already used to it. What's more, the harvest this time was already rich enough!
······
At two o'clock in the afternoon on January 1, the entire Rod Laver Stadium was full of seats. The fourth round of the Australian Open, the duel between Anson and Edmund officially began.

By the way, Murray, the former world number one and Britain's number one, also participated in this Australian Open, but unfortunately, he chose to withdraw early due to injury.

In fact, at this time, Murray has long lost his former glory, not to mention being number one in the world, even Britain's number one, he can't do it.

And now the number one player in the UK is Edmund who appeared in this game, and his current ATP ranking has reached 14th.

In addition, the reason why An Sheng was interested in him before is because Edmund is very young, a post-95 generation, and one of the most threatening young players in today's tennis world, except for Zverev. .

"Oh!"

In the first game, An Sheng served first.

This is a regular outside corner serve, but the ball speed is extremely fast, which is enough to make it threatening.

Naturally, Edmund had already known about An Sheng's serving strength and its power, so he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest and was extremely focused.

But even so, he still couldn't keep up in time, but fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast.

At this moment, although the steps under his feet were not in place, his arms, together with the racket, had stretched out, blocking the flight path of the tennis ball in time.

However, it is also obvious that even if he completes the receiving and receiving of the hair, the quality of his movements must not be too high.

In fact, his return this time formed a high throw, and the landing point was shallow.

Then, without any suspense, Ansheng rushed into the court quickly, and before the tennis ball hit the ground, he completed a volley and scored a winning point.

"Oh!"

On the next ball, An Sheng's serve was still unparalleled. Although Edmund reacted and made a return move, he didn't even touch the hair.

This is a beautiful ACE!

"Oh!"

On the next shot, Edmund finally completed the return, and the quality of the return was not bad. However, on the next shot, An Sheng hit a powerful forehand, which made the opponent powerless.

"Oh!"

On the fourth ball, An Sheng sent a super high-speed serve with a speed of 221 kilometers per hour, and completed an ACE again!

Scored four points in a row without giving Edmund any chance to resist.

In the following games, Edmund did not come up with a better response to An Sheng's serve. Although he also made various attempts, the results were very poor.

What made Edmund even more depressed was that when the game came to his serve, he still couldn't show his previous strength on the offensive end.

"Oh!"

For example, in this shot, Edmund's serve was very good and had reached the limit of his ability. However, Ansheng still made a good quality return.

And Edmond was naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to attack, although this opportunity was not good at all, so he forced a backhand blow.

But just after one shot, he was no longer able to continue his previous offensive, because in the backhand position, Ansheng hit a higher-quality backhand counterattack, with a faster ball speed and stronger power.

As a last resort, Edmond could only switch from offense to defense.

However, once An Sheng takes the offensive initiative, with his defensive ability, how can he last long?
Of course, during the game, Edmund also tried to forcefully start a confrontation with An Sheng, but in the end, he lost even worse.

The reason lies in hard power.

Even compared to Zverev, Edmund's hard power is even worse, not to mention, he still has serious biases.

Its offensive ability is good, but its defensive ability can only be said to be average.

There were no twists and turns. From the beginning to the end, An Sheng firmly grasped the rhythm of the game. In the end, he also won the game smoothly, and then stood out from the third quarter and advanced to the semi-finals of this year's Australian Open.
