Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 131: Constant upsets, old rivals in the top [-] (please subscribe)
"What a wonderful blessing!" The ESPN host couldn't help but give a thumbs up because of Chen Ran's words.

He could feel the sincerity in the other person's words.

This Chinese athlete is very talkative and is really different from the previous Chinese athletes. This completely subverts their previous stereotypes.

"Andy..." the host also shouted towards where Roddick was standing, "Your opponent is really good, and I send you the most sincere blessings. I also wish you a happy return as soon as possible."

"Hehe, frustration on the court and success in love are also good results."

In full view of the crowd, Roddick could only smile in return.

What can I do?This is more desperate than losing!

Roddick regretted it. If he had known this would be the result, he should have just returned to the locker room with his bag.

Chen Ran got rid of the ESPN host and waved to the Chinese reporters who were cheering for him.

"The old rule is to let more people watch the game the day after tomorrow."

"Chen Ran, how is your physical condition?" Zhou Yuan asked with some worry, "Will you be able to regain your physical fitness the day after tomorrow?"

He could see that Chen Ran's physical strength was almost exhausted. It was very difficult to even walk just now, and he could hardly lift his arms.

"I am so young, I must recover quickly." Chen Ran smiled slightly and walked towards the players' tunnel.

His physical attributes are 83 points. Although he is not as good as those athletes who are as strong as birds and animals, it is still considered to be above average.

"Chen Ran obviously wants to continue winning. He is not satisfied with the top [-] results." Zhou Yuan looked at Chen Ran's back and thought to himself.

Obviously, as long as Chen Ran can continue to stay in the Australian Open, he will continue to be the headline in the next few issues of "Sports Weekly", and his salary will also rise rapidly.

Let those basketball reporters show off their salaries, this time it’s my turn to fight back!
……

This showdown between Chinese and American super stars has just come to an end, but the incredible heat wave has just begun.

All media around the world have given Chen Ran great praise.Not only China, all major media immediately paid attention to it.

This battle finally made Chen Ran truly enter the global public discussion.

"From his first Grand Slam victory to his third consecutive Grand Slam victory, the miraculous journey of Chinese men's players created by Chen Ran continues!"

"It's unbelievable! Chen Ran, who is less than 17 years old, is leading the youth storm in the Australian Open!"

As for the domestic Internet, it is even more sensational.

The editor of Sina knows how to attract attention, and directly set off the Internet with a piece of news: "Win the battle of supernovas, Chen Ran surpasses Yao Ming in a battle."

Although football is still the most popular sport, when it comes to a specific athlete, there is a scene of Yao Ming and Chen Ran competing for supremacy.

On the portal website, any news about the two of them can attract a group of netizens to click on it.

The editors obviously know how to stir up topics, so they connected two completely unrelated people.

After all, in today's Chinese tennis world, except for Chen Ran, no one else has news value at all.

Then Chen Ran's comparison objects can only be across projects.

As a result, fans from both sides swarmed in under this post and started a vigorous scolding war.

"Yao Ming is the first starter in the All-Star Game, but Chen Ran is just a no-brainer!"

"Tch, NBA All-Star starters, that was voted in by our Chinese fans who have the strength in numbers!"

"That's it...Chen Ran relied on his own strength to defeat the No. 9 seed and break into the top [-]."

There are also some die-hard fans of Chen Ran who are very grudge-y and immediately started to settle old scores.

"By the way, I said before that Chen Ran had no chance of winning. Hurry up and admit your mistake!"

"Which man said that he wanted to run naked? A man must keep his word!"

"I remember there were people who wanted to wear women's clothes!"

So, on this day, in a certain city in China, a women's clothing tycoon with a 100% turnaround rate appeared on the commercial street; and in another city, a buddy was running wearing only a pair of shorts.

In their words, Chen Ran has made it to the top [-]. They are very happy and willing to fulfill their previous promises. They hope that Chen Ran will continue to work hard and create new history.

This is the charm of the Grand Slam. Every time you advance, the heat wave and sensation caused are doubled, and of course your commercial value is also included.

Xue Peng from the brokerage company almost had his phone calls bombarded by major merchants.

However, there is no rush. He decided to settle things down first, not to mention that endorsement negotiations are not something that happens overnight. Everything will be discussed after this Grand Slam is over.

Xue Peng knew that Chen Ran's end point was probably not the top [-], and he might even go one step further and compete with the tennis king Agassi.

Because Chen Ran's opponent in the next round has already been announced, and it turns out to be the Russian player Youzhny who he played against in the Auckland Tour.

Unseeded Youzhini also suffered a big upset in the third round, knocking out the fifth-seeded Spanish star Moya in five sets.

The quarterfinals battle is not Chen Ran VS Moya, but Chen Ran VS Youzhini.

Because Chen Ran had a record of beating his opponent in the tournament, he obviously had a mental advantage.

What's more, as a non-seeded player, Youzhini's victory over Moya is considered a breakthrough. Is it possible that he can continue to win?

The agency apparently forgot that Chen Ran was also an unseeded player, but they clearly regarded him as a seeded player subconsciously.This is simply a gift from God, a "reward" for Chen Ran's defeat of Roddick. I hope he can make further progress.

……

"Youzhini..."

After Chen Ran came out of the press conference in high spirits, he also got the news from his fitness coach Sergei.

While he was slightly surprised, he quickly accepted the news.

There are actually not many upsets in Grand Slam competitions.

It can even be said that any sports competition is full of upsets.

In competitive sports, if the strong always wins and the weak lose, it will lose its luster.

"Today is obviously a very disappointing day for Spanish tennis." Sergei spread his hands with a hint of gloating, "The eighth seed, Spaniard Costa, was also eliminated."

In this round of competition, Spain's two famous players, fifth seed Moya and eighth seed Costa, were both eliminated.

Only the fourth-seeded Spaniard Ferrero is still standing firm, defending the glory of Spanish tennis.

Today, the overall strength of Spanish tennis should be second only to the United States, ranking second in the world.

There are many first-class players, but there are no giant-level players.

"If you beat Youzhny, you will most likely face Agassi!" Sergey said while massaging Chen Ran's arms.

Chen Ran seemed to have thought of something and asked without looking back: "What about Safin?"

"He is still playing, so it shouldn't be a big problem to win." Sergey said without thinking, "Chen, unless you create a miracle. Otherwise Safin and Agassi will meet in the semi-finals."

Was the Australian Open semi-final in the previous life Safin versus Agassi?

Chen Ran no longer remembers it.

But the one who broke out from the other half should be the German Schuttler, who was also eliminated by himself in the first round this time.

Therefore, this Australian Open cannot be judged by the eyes of previous lives.

"At the moment...how many of the top ten seeds have been eliminated?"

"Three, namely American Roddick, Spaniards Moya and Costa." Sergey said, and continued to mock, "The two strongest countries in tennis have been eliminated by three big seeds. "

Chen Ran said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "So I am not the biggest dark horse. You see, Moya and Costa are both seeded higher than Roddick."

"It's different. Roddick is a super star, a player who has the potential to grow into a Grand Slam champion. His target should be Spain's number one star Ferrero." Sergey gave his own point of view.

Too……

This comparison is still very appropriate.

Roddick and Ferrero are both "slam" winners, and the former is best at the "US Open fast hard court", while the latter is most familiar with the "French Open clay court".

They are all the kind who are very good at partial subjects.

"By the way, Chen..." Sergey, a rough Russian man, actually showed a resentful look in his eyes, "Why don't you take a photo with Hilton? Even if you don't want to, you can recommend others so that others can fulfill their long-cherished wish."

The other person this old man talks about is actually himself.

Chen Ran rolled his eyes and cursed in his mind: I'm afraid you're in heat and can't help but ruin my reputation.

"Oh, she is a very utilitarian woman who only wants to take photos with celebrities!" he replied.

Sergey seemed to want to say something else, when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He reluctantly picked up the phone and answered the call, and then seemed to hear something incredible, chattering a lot of Russian that Chen Ran couldn't understand.

After a while, Sergey put down his phone and touched his forehead.

The temperature in the room was not high, but there seemed to be some beads of sweat on his forehead.

"What happened?" Chen Ran asked.

"My Russian friend said that Safin was eliminated!" Sergey still couldn't believe what happened. "Like Roddick, he stopped in the third round."

After hearing this, Chen Ran was stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "Rodick should be very happy, because now the focus of public opinion is on Safin."

The third seed, US Open winner Safin, also stopped in the third round.

This is the strongest obstacle carefully arranged by the Australians for Agassi.

"Could Agassi go straight to the finals?" Sergey held his head, showing pain. "I hate this bald head. He took away my goddess Graf."

Chen Ran had a dark look on his face after hearing this.

Why do you have so many goddesses, including Hilton and Graf?

But there are so many upsets at this Australian Open!
