Chapter 182 I am still the king of tie-breaks (there is one more update)
The first set was lost, and the gap between the two sides was negligible.

Chen Ran also felt that he was in very good condition and there was no need to change his tactics because of the loss in the first set.

Even if he lost the tie-break.

This should be the first time in his history that he has lost a "tiebreak".

But everyone has his first time. Even if he is known as the "King of Tie-breaks", he cannot expect to win every "Tie-break".

Chen Ran was very open-minded about this.

Thinking about it from another angle, when the undefeated golden status in the "tiebreak" was shattered, the pressure on myself became less.

After the start of the second set, Chen Ran remained unchanged in response to changes, playing in an orderly manner and in his own way.

da da da~
Chen Ran patted the tennis ball gently while secretly observing Agassi's position.

The guy's receiving position seems to be a few steps further back than before.

Toss, kick, turn, swing, hit!
Area [-], inner corner!

A serve with strong topspin!
In this set, Chen Ran's first goal was to overpower Agassi in his own serve game, preventing him from finding any opportunity to break serve.

In the first set, Chen Ran broke serve first. In the next service game, he faced the desperate Agassi, but was also broken by the opponent.

A tennis match is a long confrontation, and even the most fervent players will lose their spirit at a certain moment.

Chen Ran will have it, Agassi will have it, and any player will have it.

But the key is that with the assistance of the system, Chen Ran can maintain his competitive state relatively stably. Even if there are fluctuations, they will not be so obvious.

Humph~
Chen Ran quickly ran into the service area and faced Agassi's mediocre return of serve, seemingly about to smash hard.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Agassi preparing to rush towards the baseline on the other side. Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, he released a wonderful little ball.

Agassi braked suddenly, but his body instantly lost his balance. He was a little unsteady and sat directly on the ground.

Chen Ran's fake move obviously caused Agassi to misjudge.

This is a very straightforward "love game" game!

At this moment, Agassi felt the pressure on himself suddenly increase in vain.

This guy's ability to hold serve in his own serve seems to have improved to another level.

Agassi knew that Chen Ran, who was getting better and better, was at his best.

He jumped lightly on the spot a few times, hoping that his fall would not affect him.

Sometimes Agassi is a little puzzled. Although there is no shortage of heroic young men in professional tennis who can make some famous achievements with their momentum, there are too few young talents like Chen Ran who are full of fake moves and have comprehensive skills.

How did he train?
And...it's only been three months, why has he made such great progress?

In the Australian Open match, Chen Ran defeated Agassi, but the pressure the opponent put on him was not comparable to this time.

boom!
Another shot!

Chen Ran made a sideways step and then hit the ball with a forehand to create an angle.

Agassi's return ball went straight out of bounds.

4 is better than 2!

Chen Ran broke serve first again in the second set.

"He's two games ahead."

Agassi glanced at Chen Ran, who was in full swing, and vaguely felt that it would be very difficult to break through again this time.

He is already old, and his body has not yet recovered from the three-set battle with Roddick two days ago. He must formulate a suitable strategy when facing Chen Ran.

Agassi suddenly remembered the fourth set against Chen Ran at the Australian Open, where his opponent decisively adopted a strategic abandonment strategy.

With this little thought, Agassi lost two more games in a row.

Chen Ran won the second set 6:2, bringing the total score to 1-1.

"Did he give up the second set?" He frowned slightly.

After he broke serve in that game, Agassi's competitive state declined significantly.

Obviously the opponent has given up hope of reversing the second set.

Chen Ran originally thought that Agassi would come up with a "toilet plan", but to his surprise, this guy had been sitting quietly on the chair without any movement.

The end of the second set was actually a bit abrupt.

Because 6 to 2 is a relatively disparate score, it is different from the situation in the first set when the two gods fought.

"In the third set, this bald man will definitely fight back." After Chen Ran muttered in his mind, he reached out and brushed his lush hair.

After the start of the third set, just as he predicted, Agassi began to fight back crazily.

The back-and-forth game happens all the time, and the game situation changes rapidly.

The skills of these two players are very comprehensive, whether it is a forehand or a backhand, it is a pleasure to watch.

Powerful diagonal kicks, and powerful punches.

There were also two figures running around the place.

The movement speed of these two guys is considered top-notch in men's professional tennis.

The game scores were very tight, and there was never a gap of more than two games.

4比4，5比5，6比6。

The two sides entered a tiebreaker again in the third set.

"The opponent's physical fitness seems to have improved a lot compared to the Australian Open." Agassi found that after 12 games of the third set, Chen Ran still couldn't see any signs of fatigue on his body.

Is it his fault?
He suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Depei in the stands.

That guy is famous for not being able to run to death. "If I can beat the opponent twice in a row in the tie-break, it will definitely put huge pressure on him." Agassi pondered in his heart.

The outside world calls Chen Ran the "king of tie-breaks". Since his debut, he has remained undefeated in tie-breaks, and this record has been broken by himself today.

Agassi took a deep breath and started his first serve.

Chen Ran's beautiful return of serve plunged the two sides into an extremely long tug-of-war.

A total of 39 shots!

The long round of 39 shots even made the audience feel a little tired when their heads were twisting back and forth.

After a fierce battle to the end, Chen Ran scored the winning point with a straight forehand return shot that shocked everyone.

Complete mini break at the start!
"I can't possibly lose two tiebreakers in a row!" Chen Ran clenched his fists and roared angrily.

Of course he was speaking in Chinese, and Agassi couldn't understand it at all.

After Chen Ran's two serves, he also successfully maintained serve.

3 is better than 0!

This time, Chen Ran once again showed his "King of Tie-break" style.

The balance of victory has also tilted towards Chen Ran.

Agassi touched his bald head, his palms covered with sweat.

Even though he was extremely experienced in the "tiebreak", Chen Ran still brought huge pressure.

still have a chance……

He exhaled heavily, then came to the baseline and prepared to serve.

Both serves must be saved!

This time the serving position is still in the first area.

Agassi observed Chen Ran's position and considered how to choose a route.

Forehand?Backhand?Or close?

In this match that lasted two hours and 45 minutes, Agassi had adopted different service combinations at different critical moments.

So what about this time?
Bend your knees, kick on the ground, throw the ball!
The yellow-green tennis ball was like an arrow piercing the air, rushing directly towards Chen Ran's backhand position.

The direction of the shot this time is the inside corner!

It's a distinctly flat serve, fast and heavy, with some backspin.

Chen Ran took a sideways step, hit the tennis ball back with a backhand with both hands.

However, his hitting route was completely within Agassi's plan.

Immediately afterwards, Agassi rushed to the baseline, moved quickly, and reached the midfield in the blink of an eye.

He whipped the tennis ball hard with his sideways forehand.

Agassi wanted to use this blow to win the first point of the "tiebreak" and also announced that he would launch a counterattack in the tiebreak.

Chen Ran didn't have any time to hesitate. He immediately stepped forward and sprinted with all his strength. With a beautiful sliding step and the muscle memory in his arms, he barely saved the ball.

It's all in between.

The next second, Chen Ran took small steps in succession. While maintaining a defensive posture, he moved slightly towards his forehand position.

The moment he saw Agassi hit another forehand, he kicked off his right leg and his body followed the inertia and moved to the left.

One big step is enough!

Chen Ran's body has been smoothly positioned, and his backhand with both hands has already begun to lead the shot early. This move saves his swing time.

At this time, the tennis ball happened to fly over.

Agassi chose a forehand backslash!

But Chen Ran was ready to hit the ball.

His steps were steady, and he took the initiative to face the ball with his backhand. Facing the oncoming ball, Chen Ran chose to fight head-on.

There was a crisp sound of "bang".

The tennis ball flew in the opposite direction like a cannonball that suddenly changed direction.

The shot was so sudden that Agassi was unprepared.

"Out of bounds?"

Agassi instinctively ran with all his strength, but still couldn't reach the ball, so he had this idea.

"Press the line!" the referee's voice came slowly.

The ball is completely on the sideline, which is obviously a good ball!
4-0, Chen Ran completed a mini break again!
Obviously, 1 to 3 and 4 to 0 are different results and different mentality.

Chen Ran was even more powerful, but after losing this point, Agassi's mentality was affected and his state fluctuated.

While you are sick, I will kill you!
Chen Ran scored consecutive points and finally won the third set tie-break with a 7-1 disparity.

In this tie-break, he completed 4 "mini breaks" against Agassi!
At this moment, he could no longer contain his excitement and roared to the sky.

"I'm still the king of tie-breakers!"

The Chinese audience, who had been silent for a long time and were still on tenterhooks, gave out the warmest cheers, which lasted for a long time and resounded through the sky!
2 to 1!
Chen Ran won two games in a row and had completed the reversal!

At this moment, both the Chinese reporters at the scene and the host of the C5 Sports live broadcast room held their breath.

They all know that they are only one set away from the great glory of the "Sunshine Double Crown".
