Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 183 Sunshine Double Crown! (Three updates completed)

Unlike the Chinese audience who celebrated happily, the American audience was silent.

The same goes for those American tennis reporters, all of whom looked grim.

"Does this Chinese really want to defeat the best player in the United States on American soil and achieve the achievement of 'Sunshine Double Crown'?"

"God, are you abandoning American tennis?"

It can be seen with the naked eye that Agassi was completely exhausted after playing three sets.

As for Chen Ran?He is already very young, and has been personally trained by the "undead" Zhang Depei. His physical fitness has improved significantly compared to the Australian Open.

What's more important is that from the first round to the semifinals of the Miami Masters, this kid hardly faced many challenges, and all the battles ended in two sets.

The last person to complete the "Sunshine Double Crown" achievement was Courier, who was from the United States, and it was in the distant 1991, 12 years ago.

In Chinese culture, 12 years exactly completes a cycle of the 12 zodiac signs, which is considered a reincarnation.

Is this the will of God?

Agassi looked gloomy.

After Sampras retired, he has the most Grand Slams among active players, and he is still the kind of leader.

He set a goal for himself, at least to win a Grand Slam and win the year-end No. [-] ranking after Sampras faded out of the court.

Otherwise it would be a shame.

Your nemesis has already retired, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!Can't you even seize such an opportunity?

The champion of the Masters has a full 1000 points, while the runner-up only has 400 points.

After finally entering the final, Agassi can return to the world's number one ranking in points as long as he beats Chen Ran.

After all, Hewitt, the original number one in the world, has been very stretched out since 2003.

Ferrero, the current number one in the world, is not far ahead of himself in points.

But Ferrero is a clay court expert. In the upcoming clay court competition, Agassi does not think he can score more points than his opponent.

This game has to be won!

However, at this moment, if he wants to win the championship again, he must play five sets.

Thinking of his no longer young body, Agassi couldn't help but feel a little more burdened.

"That brat Roddick, why did you play so fiercely in the semifinals?" He cursed secretly.

At this moment, Roddick, who was hugging a blonde and partying wildly in a nightclub in Los Angeles, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Andy, you'd better put your clothes on, be careful not to catch a cold." A hot girl looked at him and said, "If you want to take off your clothes, you can change to another place."

"Okay." Roddick rubbed his nose.

He didn't know that he was being cursed by Agassi, who was thousands of miles away.

Under Agassi's curses, the fourth set officially began.

"Really, I don't want to watch the fifth set!" Zhan Jun of C5 Sports couldn't help complaining, "I hope Chen Ran can completely resolve the battle in the fourth set. I believe that TV viewers also have similar thoughts. "

If it is a live broadcast of games from other countries, everyone will hope that the two sides will play as long as possible, preferably a tie-break, so that everyone can feast their eyes.

But once there is a game for Chinese players, everyone hopes that it is best to sweep it 2-0 or 3-0 directly, so as not to be worried all the time.

Of course reality is impossible.

"Even if that Chinese boy wants to win the championship, let him play at least five sets!" Agassi patted his bald head and thought through gritted teeth.

So in the fourth set, after being forced into a desperate situation by Chen Ran, the veteran king Agassi showed his determination to fight to the death and once again pushed himself to his limit.

"Boy, will you give up the fourth set like you did at the Australian Open, and then choose to decide the outcome in the fifth set?"

Agassi finally broke Chen Ran in the 7th game and took the lead 4-3.

Wherever he could see, Chen Ran, who was about to receive the serve, brushed his thick hair again.
"Boy, are you mocking my bald head?" Agassi cursed secretly, "Don't you know that I also had long hair when I was young?"

When he was young, his hair was as long as Graf's.

The entire American audience was extremely quiet, praying that Agassi could successfully maintain his serve.

However, some Chinese spectators shouted enthusiastically in an attempt to influence Agassi's serve.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the players are preparing to hit the ball, please do not make any noise to disrupt the order. Please observe the most basic watching etiquette. This is respect for the game and respect for the players."

The referee immediately spoke in English.

That's home field advantage.

When Chen Ran served before, American fans booed overwhelmingly.

Generally speaking, tennis matches held in the United States are often noisy like a vegetable market. Even if the players are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do. Who makes North America the largest market for tennis?

The stadium was quiet, but Agassi was not the only beneficiary.

Chen Ran's spirit is also highly concentrated.

boom!
Chen Ran made a beautiful two-handed backhand and directly completed the "return ace", scoring the first point!
Looking at the momentum, he didn't want to give up the fourth set.

Immediately afterwards, after Chen Ran completed the return of serve, he made another attack, and continued to suppress Agassi's backhand, hitting an outside-in forehand hammer, and scored another point. (Outside-in refers to hitting the off-court ball back into the opponent's court and causing a direct score)

Chen Ran scored two points in a row!

0: 30!

Agassi finally recovered a point on the third ball.

15: 30!

However, Chen Ran continued to grit his teeth and score another point.

15: 40.

He held two break points.

Agassi made a desperate move and served an ACE.

The score came to 30:40.

At the critical moment, when pressure and exhaustion surged in, Agassi made a service error.

The quality of his second serve was pretty good, but Chen Ran started to attack.After he accurately judged the landing point of the serve, he took a diagonal shot from a big corner kick and directly suppressed Agassi's backhand.

opportunity!

Chen Ran decisively chose to go online and appeared on Agassi's most likely return route.

His hitting angle and speed are excellent, leaving little space for Agassi to return the ball, and his timing will be very hasty.

Of course, this is also a risk, but Chen Ran has full confidence in his online skills.

In the flash of lightning, Agassi glanced at Chen Ran's position with his peripheral vision. He needed to make a decision quickly.

Is it a diagonal line with a wide angle, or is it a high ball return.

Let’s play lob!

Agassi obviously knew that it would be difficult to break through Chen Ran's backhand with the ball from this angle.

He has a deep understanding of Chen Ran's keen reflexes in tennis.

However, when Agassi fired the high ball, Chen Ran adjusted his steps and immediately stepped back.

He accurately grasped the landing point of this high ball immediately.

After all, Agassi returned the lob very hastily, and the landing point of the ball did not make Chen Ran very uncomfortable.

A decisive high-pressure smash!
This time attacking Agassi's right side.

The bald head who was running all over the field once again managed to save the ball.

This time, Chen Ran seemed to be about to continue smashing the ball, but when the racket was about to touch the tennis ball, he suddenly stopped his strength and rubbed it lightly.

As soon as the tennis ball flew over the net, it fell rapidly, and then completed two jumps. Agassi, standing on the baseline, could only watch the ball and sigh.

Chen Ran completed his comeback!

4 to 4, the score was tied again.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ran easily saved his serve.

5 to 4, he took the lead again.

In the tenth game, when the victory of the game was getting closer, Chen Ran became more and more excited.

At this moment, he found that he had almost entered a state of "selflessness".

Even though Agassi was desperate, he repeatedly hit high-quality serves, but Chen Ran still caught them one by one.

Although there were several returns that hit the net or went out of bounds, Agassi did not complete an ACE.

The score between the two sides was also very tense.

After 40 to 40, the two sides went back and forth, fighting fiercely.

Often after one side appears AD, the other side plays bravely and can even the score.

In the blink of an eye, 40-40 draws occurred six times.

"Good shot!" C5 Sports' Zhan Jun slammed the table excitedly, and even made him jump.

Just now, Chen Ran suddenly released a small ball in the midst of multiple shots.

But perhaps Chen Ran also felt tired, which affected his feel. The quality of the ball seemed to have declined a bit, and the landing point was a little far away from the net.

Agassi immediately rushed forward and whipped the ball.

Normally, this ball is scored in one hit.

But Chen Ran relied on his muscle memory instinct to lengthen his body and extend his racket.

By coincidence, Agassi's shot hit Chen Ran's outstretched racket, completing the return shot.

40: AD!

Chen Ran once again reached the match point of this game.

This game lasted for so long, Agassi’s arm was sore from serving.

He didn't expect to be able to deliver an ACE ball in this current stalemate.

A shot wiped the net, but it was in bounds.

Another shot.

Agassi continues to serve.

Second district, outer corner!
Chen Ran kicked off the ground, holding the backhand with both hands, and completed the initiating action as fast as lightning.

He slammed the tennis ball back to the opposite right side of the court, suppressing Agassi's backhand.

Backhand to backhand!
A tug-of-war began to form between the two sides.

No one dares to change the attack route rashly and choose the opponent's forehand.

During this period, Chen Ran also played several cutting balls, and the route was still Agassi's backhand.

In fact, Chen Ran's heart was already racing, and he was a little impatient with the waiting. He just wanted to win quickly and enjoy the joy of championship.

But he still gritted his teeth and suppressed the emotions that were about to burst out.

Should I draw the ball?still……

Chen Ran had an idea, and at the same time he flicked his wrist slightly, seemingly trying to hit the ball, but suddenly it turned into a half-volley.

That is, when the ball had just bounced and was in the ascending period, Chen Ran pushed the ball to the far corner on the right side of Agassi, with an incredibly delicate touch.

This sudden change left Agassi unprepared. A hasty return ball was directly used by Chen Ran to complete a one-hit kill with a volley.

6:4, Chen Ran won three consecutive games after falling behind 3:4 in the fourth set!

The total score is 3:1!

Chen Ran clenched his fists excitedly and shouted to the sky!
From now on, Chen Ran's name is on the list of "Sunshine Double Crown"!

……

PS: Originally, the "Sunshine Double Championship" plan was to win one championship and one runner-up, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. If I don't win the "double championship", I'm missing something, so let's take it!
