Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar
Chapter 163 The day of the final
Chapter 163 The day of the final
The new Australian Open champion, Spanish star Ferrero defeated Roddick and won another finals seat.
Before Nadal came along, Ferrero was Spain's best tennis player.
In addition, after Ferrero retired, he became the head coach of a young Spanish player born in the 00s, that is Alcaraz.
This young disciple, when he was less than 20 years old, surpassed his master's lifetime achievements.
Of course, this is something.
But for the Indian Wells Masters organizing committee, this final lineup is a mixed bag.
The worry is that there is no American in the final, which will definitely seriously affect the ratings of this game in the United States.
Fortunately, there is a Chinese in the finals. Today, China has a population of nearly 13 billion, its economy is in a period of rapid development, and it has a huge potential audience.
At this moment, Chen Ran also felt the atmosphere that the war was approaching.
"This is the second time in my career that I have reached the finals of the ATP World Tour!"
"Of course, the Masters and the 250 race are completely different feelings."
nervous?It feels a bit...
The day after the semifinals, Chen Ran just went to the training ground to do some simple serving and receiving training, then did some stretching and ran a few laps along the court.
In the stands, apart from some fans who came to cheer, there were a group of reporters from China.
The number of people seems to have increased again, from more than 50 media companies to nearly 70 media companies.
"Chen Ran, come on!"
"Bring the Masters champion back to China!"
"Master Chen, the King of Asia!"
When Chen Ran finished training and was about to return to the hotel, he still signed autographs for the fans who came to the training ground in a very professional manner.
Some reporters also took the opportunity to gather around and ask various questions.
"Chen Ran, Yao Ming said he would come to cheer you up. Have you heard about this?" a reporter from Shanghai TV Station asked.
"I heard about it. It's a great honor." Chen Ran replied with high emotional intelligence. "If I have the opportunity next time, I also hope to go to the arena in Houston to cheer for him."
"Okay, I'm really looking forward to that day."
For reporters, they really like to see this kind of cross-border interaction between top athletes in different sports.
"Are you confident in the final?"
"Can we create a new history in Asian tennis?"
In sports competitions, the four words "making history" are often mentioned.
There is no doubt that people always like to witness history, because the moment when new history is born is always particularly precious.
Although the runner-up in the Masters has become the history of Asian tennis, the gap between the champion and the runner-up is worlds apart, and the sensational effect caused is also completely different.
Chen Ran stopped being secretive and said calmly: "Now that we have reached this point, I must have some thoughts in my mind. Besides, I don't have any top honors at the moment."
"Also... the fans and media in our country are really good at flattering people. I must at least make my two nicknames worthy of my name!"
If there is a Masters champion, the pressure brought by the titles of Asian King and Master Chen should be able to withstand it.
"Chen Ran, is it more suitable for you to play a best-of-three-set match?" Another sports reporter asked, "You are suffering a bit in the best-of-five-set Grand Slam. It seems..."
"It seems like every time I win a game I lose half my life."
After hearing this, Chen Ran immediately replied: "First of all, I have to correct you. The final of the Masters is also a best-of-five-set system. It seems that many people don't know that."
"What?" A group of people just woke up from a dream and remembered something.
Yes, the finals of the nine Masters tournaments and the year-end Masters Cup are all based on a best-of-five-set system.
A weakling who is not good at winning three out of five sets is not qualified to win this championship.
All this will be adjusted in 2009.
"So this final must be played according to the rhythm of a Grand Slam." Chen Ran said with certainty, "I have already experienced the Australian Open once, and I already have some experience in the best-of-five sets."
These words made these reporters’ eyes light up.
It seems that even in a best-of-five-set match, Chen Ran is still confident.
When you learn how to write a manuscript, you should be bolder to attract more audience attention.
After Chen Ran got rid of the crowd, he silently glanced at the attribute panel.
After training day and night, as well as high-level duels in the Masters, Chen Ran's technical attributes finally reached 85 points.
85 points is the threshold for a world-class player, which also means that Chen Ran has the ability to compete with any world-class player, rather than relying on the ups and downs of the opponent's state to win.
In addition, the physical attributes are 86 and the mental attributes are 84.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
……
In fact, many sports competition times in the United States are very friendly to Chinese audiences.
Their prime time is all in the morning in China, and there is basically no other competition.
In addition, this time is so comfortable, especially on Saturday, even more refreshing than the prime time period of [-] or [-] pm.After all, many people have nothing to do in the morning and can still fish at work, but in the evening, under the feasting and feasting, the rich urban nightlife begins, and they may not be willing to sit in front of the TV.
In Chen Ran's hometown of Dongzhou City, many families, even some shopping malls, or restaurants have turned on their TV sets and locked the channel to CCTV's C5 Sports.
Many high schools have classes on Saturday mornings, but during the breaks in class, some excited students also turned on the TVs in the classrooms.
If Chen Ran were standing here, he would be extremely familiar with this scene.
Because when I was in high school in my previous life, my classmates would often turn on the TV during get out of class to watch Rockets games.
It wasn't until the class bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom that he reluctantly turned off the TV.
This is the case at Chen Ran's alma mater, Dongzhou Middle School.
In Class 10, Grade [-], Zhou Jing put down her books, held her chin, and quietly looked up at the TV hanging in the classroom.
Taking advantage of the self-study time in the classroom, some students in the class had already turned on the TV.
"Zhou Jing, have you been in contact with Chen Ran recently?" asked her deskmate Chen Lu.
"We usually keep in touch on QQ, but even if he returns to China, he rarely returns to Dongzhou City." Zhou Jing said honestly, "He will tell me some interesting things he saw abroad. For example, not long ago... "
"Chen Ran told me that young Americans thought it was the Vietnamese who launched Pearl Harbor."
"Is the history of Americans so bad?" Chen Lu blinked and smiled: "But now even if Chen Ran has become a nationally renowned tennis star, you still have a lively chat, right?"
"We have been close classmates since junior high school." A blush flashed across Zhou Jing's fair face, and then she retorted, "Isn't it normal to occasionally chat on QQ?"
"Hehe..." Chen Lu smiled meaningfully, then quietly pointed to the TV in the classroom, "The finals are about to begin, hurry up and watch."
"Well, but..." Zhou Jing sighed softly, "The tennis match lasts too long, longer than basketball and football. By the time we get out of class at noon, the match will still be over."
"It seems like you've done a lot of homework on tennis."
……
On this day, Indian Wells finally ushered in the busiest day since the opening day.
Chen Ran met Yao Ming under the guidance of the staff.
The two leaders in different fields, who are also the two top leaders in China today, shook hands in a friendly manner.
Yao Ming is really tall and his hands are terrifyingly big.
She was like a bird clinging to someone next to him.
Before, Chen Ran had taken a photo with the 2 meter giant Isner, but that guy was much petite compared to Yao Ming.
"Chen Ran, we have been close friends for a long time!" Yao Ming joked.
Godly acquaintance?This word is quite appropriate.
Because since 2003, the Chinese media has been comparing the two of them, and now even the American media is getting involved.
"Chen, what do you think of Yao?" the American reporter asked enthusiastically, "Which of you two is more famous?"
With Chen Ran's mental age, how could he fall into the trap of the other party.
In fact, he is more comfortable dealing with the media than Yao Ming.
"Of course it's Yao Ming. He is the bridge between Chinese and American cultures. As for me..." Chen Ran stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I'm just a tennis player wandering around the world. .”
"I don't even know how much bonus I can earn this year. I really envy Yao Ming for having a stable salary and not having to bear the coach's salary."
Tennis is free, you don't have to look at the boss's face, you can arrange your time according to your own wishes, but it also comes with a price.
Without a fixed income, he has to bear the expenses of the coaching team alone. This also means that only the top 150 players in the world can support themselves, but if you want to really make money, you have to be among the top 100 players in the world.
What a cruel and fierce competition.
Yao Ming also smiled, showing that emoticon that would become famous in later generations.
"But at least you don't have any restrictions and don't have to participate in meaningless competitions." Yao Ming seemed to have remembered something, "And tennis is an individual sport, so you don't have to... just focus on yourself."
He wanted to say something, but suddenly changed his tune.
Yao Ming originally wanted to say that it was okay to be in the Rockets. After all, everyone is an NBA-level player, but when he came to the national team, he often played alone and watched four people. Even a cow would be exhausted.
In tennis, you don’t have to worry about pig teammates.
But there are some things that, to be honest, can easily offend people.
Yao Ming, who has always been smart, chose to stop talking immediately.
"Come on, I hope you can bring the championship trophy back to China."
"Thank you!"
This time, the two of them were sitting together for a photo, which was not as abrupt as when they were standing.
Those Chinese reporters excitedly pressed the shutter again!
After the pre-game session, the game officially started.
After tossing a coin, the referee decided that Ferrero would serve first.
