Chapter 421 Little Federer

Chapter 421 Little Federer

Cilic, Dimitrov, Anson and Federer, these four players are the semi-finals of the men's singles at this Australian Open.

Among them, Cilic and Federer are old acquaintances to Anson. They have played against each other many times before, and the only one that makes him feel a little strange is Dimitrov.

And he is exactly the opponent An Sheng will face in the semi-finals.

Of course, although An Sheng had never fought against Dimitrov, he had heard of the name. He even knew that someone connected the two of them together.

To be more precise, there are four people, namely An Sheng, Zverev, Chulic, and this Dimitrov. They are called the "Four Little Heavenly Kings" by good people.

However, this happened a long time ago, because with An Sheng's current achievements, he has already broken away from the level of the so-called "Four Little Heavenly Kings".

In fact, among the new "Four Little Kings", Ansheng's position was replaced by his opponent in the last game, Kevin Edmond.

And since they met in the competition, An Sheng naturally wanted to have a more detailed understanding of Dimitrov.

Dimitrov, from Bulgaria, 26 years old, 1 meters tall, 91 kg in weight, right-handed, one-handed backhand.

This moxibustion is his basic information, and more importantly, he has a rather resounding nickname called "Little Federer".

And just relying on this nickname, in fact, already explained a lot of problems.

Coupled with some game video data, An Sheng can basically confirm that Dimitrov's style of play is quite similar to Fred's.

Both have very comprehensive skills and outstanding physical fitness, but they do not use an overwhelming and violent style of play, but a "gentlemanly" and pleasing technical style of play, and the pace of the game is also relative. Slower.

In addition, what attracted Anson's attention was Dimitrov's SLR technology.

If it is said that Federer's SLR technology is a representative of elegance, while Anson's SLR technology is a representative of explosive type, then Dimitrov's SLR technology is somewhere in between. Quite beautiful, at the same time, the explosive power is also quite strong.

In this Australian Open, Dimitrov performed very well.

In fact, his lottery is not that good. Except for the first round, his opponents in the other rounds are all top [-] players in the world.

Although he also lost a few games during the promotion process, he never had a real crisis, which was enough to show his control over the game.

So, on the whole, Dimitrov is indeed a very strong opponent, and An Sheng is not sure of winning against him.

It has almost become a common practice that before the game, some reporters wanted Anson to make some comments on Dimitrov, but Anson refused the matter on the grounds that he was not familiar with him.

From here, we can also roughly see that Ansheng attaches great importance and caution to this semi-final.

On January 1th, at 25:1 p.m., the Hisense Gymnasium had more than [-] seats. The duel between An Sheng and Dimitrov officially began.

"Oh!"

In the first game, Dimitrov took the lead to serve. The speed of the ball was good, and the key was that the line was well controlled.

In this way, An Sheng was naturally unable to take a strong attack, but just completed a regular bounce-type return, relying on the feel, trying his best to control the line and landing point.

It can be seen that the quality of Ansheng's hair reception is still very good, the line is very short, and the angle is relatively large.

But immediately, Dimitrov caught up in time, and then used his very distinctive SLR technique to complete a diagonal backhand.

Relying on the prediction, An Sheng started quickly, but still in a hurry, he could only use a backhand slice as a transition.

Of course, even though this backhand cut was made during Ansheng's rapid movement, the preparation was not very sufficient, but given Anson's proficiency in this technique, its quality is still quite high.

The line is flat, the landing point is deep, and the rotation is added, the same does not fall.

For ordinary opponents, not only is it difficult to deal with such a chipping ball, but it is also extremely prone to mistakes. However, unexpectedly, Dimitrov took a very decisive step forward and used his backhand to forcefully hit a ball. Remember to change the line.

Its placement was extremely tricky, and An Sheng ran two steps before giving up.

It has to be said that at this moment, An Sheng felt the pressure from Dimitrov.

In the next few shots, Dimitrov also relied on his excellent state and excellent touch to frequently play high-quality offenses, took advantage of the confrontation, and successfully won the round Baofa.

Looking back, the game came to An Sheng's serve.

"Oh!"

An Sheng sent the first ball, but suddenly frowned.

At this moment, he definitely wants to go all out, but as far as he feels, the excitement of his body is not enough.

Sure enough, the ball speed of this serve was only 198 kilometers per hour.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already quite fast, but judging from An Sheng's performance in the past six months, this is already considered a very poor speed.

Fortunately, even so, such a serve is enough to pose a certain threat to Dimitrov. Even if he can't directly score, it can still give An Sheng a big advantage in the sending and receiving link.

Then, relying on the advantage of serving, An Sheng was able to seize the opportunity, attacked three shots in a row, and successfully scored this point.

At this time, An Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was in poor condition, his serve could still keep him undefeated.

It was also very fast. Relying on the serve, An Sheng completed the game with a guaranteed serve.

But as the game progressed, An Sheng had to admit that it was very difficult for him to break Dimitrov.

Although Anson also got a few break points, they were all broken by Dimitrov.

In the end, the first set between the two sides entered the tie-break.

As for the tie-break, An Sheng is extremely confident, because since he raised his strength to the 90th stage, he has never lost a tie-break.

The key point, of course, is to serve.

Again, as long as there are no mistakes in serving, then An Sheng can remain invincible.

"Oh!"

This was An Sheng's first shot in the tie-break. The quality was not the best, but after previous adjustments, it was considered to have reached his average level.

And just when Ansheng thought that he could easily win the point with this serve, Dimitrov completed an almost unsolvable rebound return.

Not to mention its fast ball speed, the key is that its line is very short.

In this way, even at a small angle, it was extremely difficult for An Sheng to catch up in such a short period of time.

In fact, An Sheng chased after him desperately, but he could only pick up the ball, and he had no energy left to control the others.

Immediately, Dimitrov waited in the midfield early and used a high-pressure volley to complete the winning point.

It was broken!An Sheng was a little dazed, and then even a little angry.

However, this is a match. Even if An Sheng gets angry again and no matter how eager he is to get back the break, he can't do it no matter what he wants to do.

The fact is that Anson not only failed to regain the disadvantage of the score, but made a few mistakes, allowing Dimitrov to hold the point, and then won the tie-break.

In the first game, An Sheng actually lost!
