……

Roddick probably never dreamed that he would need to use the "toilet plan" in his match with Chen Ran.

However, he knew very well that his mentality was almost on the verge of explosion. If the fourth set was played immediately, Chen Ran might take advantage of it and win the game in one go.

This game was broadcast live across the United States, and Roddick couldn't afford to lose!
If he loses, not only will he lose bonuses and points, but his personal business value will also be seriously affected.

Under the influence of various factors, even though Roddick felt a little embarrassed, he still bit the bullet and used the "toilet plan".

Chen Ran looked at Roddick's hurried away figure with an expressionless face.

This guy ran in such a hurry, others thought he had eaten something bad and couldn't hold it in anymore.

"It seems that Roddick's mentality is about to collapse!" Zhan Jun in the studio looked at Roddick on the TV screen and couldn't help but say.

Guest Wang Liangzuo was also in a daze. He seemed unable to believe what was happening in front of him and felt as if he was in a dream.

In fact, he has some small thoughts that he has never mentioned to others.

In Wang Liangzuo's view, he has been engaged in tennis for most of his life, and he has a deep understanding of the dominance of European and American countries in tennis.

If China Tennis wants to get ahead, it can only start with doubles, and preferably women's doubles.

Because in Europe and the United States, only those players who have been eliminated in singles will specialize in doubles. This is their opportunity.

Doubles can make up for individual deficiencies if they work well together.

To cooperate tacitly, we need to train for a long time. Aren't we the best at this?

However, Chen Ran's performance today completely subverted Wang Liangzuo's inherent understanding.

Is this tennis played by Chinese male players? ? ?

Super mental quality, technical skills with no obvious shortcomings, a wild imagination, and a free and elegant playing style.

Roddick clearly had such a big advantage in the first set, but Chen Ran managed to win two consecutive sets in the face of adversity.

"Hey, Chen Ran seems to have called a medical timeout!" Zhan Jun said suddenly, with a look of worry on his face, "Is he injured?"

On the court, Chen Ran was lying on the ground, letting the medical staff massage his tired muscles.

When Roddick first applied to go to the toilet, Chen Ran also shouted "medical timeout" immediately.

He must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In fact, at the end of the third set, Chen Ran's physical fitness had reached its limit, and his right arm was even more sore.

Compared with technology, Chen Ran's body and physical fitness are still his shortcomings.

Roddick's "toilet plan" actually made Chen Ran secretly happy. He could also openly call "medical timeout".

At the same time, he was quietly in the "simulation training ground", doing some simple exercises to keep his body warm.

8 minutes later……

Roddick strode out of the corridor.

After this period of calmness, Roddick's initially violent emotions finally calmed down.

However, when Roddick saw Chen Ran who was lying on the ground massaging, he was obviously stunned for a moment, which was obviously unexpected.

The referee made a gesture to signal Roddick to wait a moment, as Chen Ran's "medical timeout" was not over yet.

Roddick shrugged and sat obediently in his chair.

I have launched a "toilet plan", so it is not too much for others to call a "medical pause".

After a while, Chen Ran stood up energetically and signaled to the referee that the game could continue.

Both sides walked to the court each carrying their rackets.

The fourth set officially begins.

Roddick's expression was extremely serious.

Live broadcast across the United States!
He can't go on wandering any longer.

We must get back to the form we had in the first set as soon as possible.

Until this moment, Roddick still firmly believes that as long as he plays to his normal level, he can win this duel.

But he must admit that Chen Ran is a talented tennis player.

If the opponent can continue to improve, he will definitely occupy a place in men's professional tennis in the future.

But in today's game, Roddick cannot lose, he must win.

In the fourth set, Roddick took the lead in serving. Standing on the opposite side, Chen Ran could feel the surging momentum coming towards him.

It seems that this guy's eight minutes in the toilet are effective.

Roddick seemed to have regained the domineering spirit he had in the first set. He took the lead and used his racket to exert pressure, using absolute power to suppress the opponent. The essence of violent tennis was fully displayed.

He was like chopping melons and vegetables. He won 4 points in a row in his serve game and gave Chen Ran another "love game".

However, Chen Ran also recovered a lot of physical energy during the "medical pause" massage just now, and even the discomfort in his arms and legs was gone.

He also showed strong crushing pressure in his own serve game, allowing Roddick only one point and then successfully held serve.

"I don't want to go into the final set."

After Chen Ran secured his serve, he sat in his exclusive player chair and immediately peeled a banana to replenish energy.

This game is so torturous. It has been played for almost four hours, and it is almost a little faster now.

When was the last time you were awake after one o'clock?
That was when I was a writer at Qidian in my previous life. In order to cope with the readers' reminders, I had to work hard until one o'clock in the night!
This is the first time in my life...

In the third game, it was back to Roddick's serve.

"He probably hasn't seen my first round, right?" Chen Ran suddenly had this thought in his mind.

How about trying Federer’s “SABR” tactic?
Even if you lose points, it’s not a loss.

Sure enough, just when Roddick's racket was about to hit the tennis ball, Chen Ran's body suddenly started and ran directly into the court.

What the hell?

Why did this Chinese boy suddenly run into the stadium?

Just as Roddick hit the tennis ball, Chen Ran had already rushed into the serve.

The ball is very fast!

Chen Ran completely relied on his delicate touch and bone-deep muscle reaction to instinctively swing the racket and push the tennis ball back.

At this time, Chen Ran stood in front of the net again.

At a certain moment, Roddick panicked and returned the ball very hastily.

Chen Ran easily completed the volley in front of the net and scored the first point of the third game.

"Can there be such a return of serve?"

Obviously the return of serve just now had an impact on Roddick's mentality.

Chen Ran prepared to receive the second serve again.

This time, he calmly stood back a few steps, putting a little distance between himself and the baseline.

Roddick seemed to be focusing on his serve, thinking about how to hit a cannon-style serve again.

District one, the outer corner.

Chen Ran followed his heart and hit the ball back a few meters away from the baseline.

This time's return of serve was different from Chen Ran's past habits. This was considered a temporary change in combat strategy.

The advantage is that it can increase reaction time and improve the hitting point. Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious, as you worry about the opponent hitting the ball short.

As long as your opponent plays a short ball and your reaction is just a little slower, you will fall into excitement and passivity.

Chen Ran's return shot this time was high and far, completely pressing the opponent's bottom line.

This time, the two sides started alternating back and forth for nearly 20 shots.Chen Ran demonstrated his solid baseline ball skills to the fullest. In the end, Roddick smashed the ball out of bounds, ending the multi-shot stalemate.

30 is better than 0!

Chen Ran took a two-point lead in the opponent's serve.

Roddick stood at the bottom line, looking at Chen Ran in front of him, breathing heavily.

He vaguely felt that Chen Ran's service receiving state had improved a lot in this game.

Finally, Roddick withstood the pressure and sent another ACE ball, chasing the score to 15:30.

"Would he adopt the same serve-receiving strategy as before?"

Roddick was a little anxious, but at the same time he was trying to stabilize himself. This was probably a gamble.

Now that Chen Ran is leading, he should not take risks easily.

boom!
FUCK!

Roddick cursed angrily.

One wrong serve, the tennis ball bounced off the net and then went out of the baseline, just a little bit...

If the tennis ball is still in bounds after bouncing off the net, you still have a chance to serve.

But when it went out of bounds, he could only serve second.

However, when he just sent the ball, he saw the figure on the opposite side flicker.

What the hell?

Chen Ran decisively went online again!

Before Roddick could react, Chen Ran pushed lightly with his forehand and the tennis ball went straight to the far corner of the other end of the court.

Roddick stared at the ball stupidly, without any reaction from his body.

When the audience saw this scene, some people recalled Chen Ran's amazing performance in the first round and burst into applause.

15: 40!

Chen Ran holds two break points!
Roddick lowered his head, his face gloomy.

This was only his second serve in the fourth set, and Chen Ran got a break point so quickly.

Until this moment, Roddick finally felt a sense of crisis of being eliminated.

"How should I serve this ball?"

"Will the opponent still rush into the court when receiving the serve?"

Many questions ran through Roddick's head one by one.

One shot, inside corner!

Chen Ran's whole body rushed towards his backhand position like a cannonball being discharged. His whole body was like a roc spreading its wings, fully extending the racket, then taking a long step, and touching the racket at shoulder height. ball.

Roddick's serve is of extremely high quality, and Chen Ran is doing his best to save it!
Chen Ran knew very well that he must seize every opportunity to break serve.

Don't think that you only have two break points, so you can make waves.

This idea is very deadly!

If this break point is not grasped, the next break point may be leaked, and then Roddick can complete the reversal.

Things are always changing in the sports arena.

Rub it bit by bit!
Because Chen Ran didn't have time, he just used the power of his wrist to push back delicately to increase friction and ensure that the tennis ball would not fly out of the court like an anti-aircraft gun.

After returning the ball, Chen Ran did not stop.

The next second, he immediately continued to rotate ninety degrees in the direction he turned, facing his right side, which was the forehand position, and ran at full speed.

In his sight, he could see Roddick's footsteps entering the court immediately.

The quality of Chen Ran's return was average, except for some spin.

Roddick also saw Chen Ran running quickly.

The way that guy ran tirelessly all over the field looked very much like Zhang Depei.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Roddick's mind.

Maybe the opponent can save the ball?

By some mistake, Roddick actually let go of a short ball.

but……

Roddick's level of short ball play is obviously far from being comparable to his cannon-style hitting.

The flight path of the ball seemed to be a little higher, and the landing point was a little further from the net.

Chen Ran immediately changed his running direction and rushed directly into the field with a beautiful sliding step.

I'm a professional at placing small balls!

Chen Ran finally saved the tennis ball. He also quietly rubbed it and returned a short ball.

"Oops!"

"Did I have a short circuit in my fucking brain just now? What a short ball!"

In fact, many top athletes often make judgment errors at the critical moment.

At this moment, their minds were blank, even if it was only for a moment.

Roddick ran to the net and struggled to save the ball, but Chen Ran was already ready. He directly volleyed the ball and pushed the tennis ball to the far corner behind Roddick.

A perfect shot and a successful break!

Roddick was so angry that he smashed his racket on the ground!
The referee was not polite and gave Roddick a warning.

Chen Ran gasped for air, and he felt that his physical strength had reached its limit.

Fortunately, after successfully breaking serve, he had taken the initiative.

As long as you hold your serve, victory is in sight.

In fact, Roddick's physical fitness is better than Chen Ran. If he could calm down and observe, he should be able to find that Chen Ran is very tired and he still has a great chance of making a comeback.

But after this guy smashed his racket and was warned by the referee, he didn't bother to observe Chen Ran's situation.

Roddick walked glumly to the players' exclusive chair, opened his backpack, and picked out a new racket.

Chen Ran took advantage of this free time and immediately drank a lot of water to restore his physical strength.

From the "toilet plan" just now to the smashing of the racket now, this American cannon has been giving Chen Ran consecutive assists without even knowing it.

After Roddick came back silently holding a new racket, Chen Ran immediately reached out to indicate that he wanted to change his jersey.

The original clothes were soaked with sweat, so changing to a new jersey was a normal requirement.

Roddick even smashed his racket, so there was nothing to question if the opponent changed his jersey, so he just waited with his hands on his hips.

Chen Ran took the opportunity to regain some physical strength and calm down his mood.

He feels that victory is getting closer and closer!
Sure enough, Chen Ran got a rare moment of respite through the little episode just now.

In the following games, he gave priority to maintaining serve, and made a gesture of wanting to continue to put pressure on the opponent's serve, but at the critical moment, he still quietly had reservations.

However, Roddick's mentality was also affected. When facing Chen Ran's serve, he lacked confidence in breaking serve.

After ten games of the fourth set, the score was fixed at 6-4.

After losing one set first, Chen Ran incredibly won three sets in a row, successfully reversing the tournament's No. 9 seed, American superstar Roddick!
