Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 206 A little fangirl from Serbia (4K)

Regardless of the external disturbances, Chen Ran, as a leader among post-85s players, attended an official event related to the French Open youth group at the invitation of the organizing committee.

The International Tennis Federation stipulates that all four Grand Slam tournaments have youth group competitions, ranging from 14 to 18 years old, while the adult group needs to be 16 years old.

However, usually, young players will only sign up for the youth group of the four majors after reaching the age of 16. Otherwise, if they are too young, they will lose their lives.

Many players participating in the youth group are even older than Chen Ran.

They all looked at Chen Ran with burning eyes.

You are already the No. 4 seed at the French Open, but we are still involved in youth competitions. The gap between people is simply too huge.

Chen Ran also quietly observed these people.

Among the future tennis stars, Kei Nishikori did not sign up, and Murray did not show up, but Chen Ran actually saw Djokovic, who is still a very young and delicate young man.

When Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam, he was already a well-deserved goat in the sport, even including women players.

Some fans even joked that Djokovic's honor minus Federer's honor is actually greater than Murray's.

However, Djokovic, who is only 16 years old now, still shows his funny side, mocking himself: "Which country do I come from? Last year I came from Yugoslavia, but this year I changed my name to Serbia and Montenegro."

It's humorous, but it also has a touch of sadness and helplessness.

In fact, Chen Ran also knew that in a few years, your country would change its name again and become Serbia.

He knew very well that although he had caused some butterfly effects, he could not change the international situation, and of course it was not his turn to worry about it.

Chen Ran found that this guy didn't recognize life at all, so he actually took the initiative to talk to Chen Ran.

"Hi, Chen Ran, do you know?"

"Your deeds encourage me. I feel more motivated to train now than before."

The 16-year-old Xiaode danced excitedly.

Training more vigorously?
Is it possible that your boy will become my strong enemy sooner?

If I were the villain in a fantasy novel, and faced with a son of such luck, I would definitely find ways to kill him without saying a word.

But Chen Ran was not. He smiled and patted Djokovic on the shoulder: "I'm looking forward to playing against you in the future. Well... And I hope we will meet in an important competition like the Olympics or a Grand Slam. This It must be very interesting.”

The innocent Xiaode said excitedly: "I'm looking forward to it too!"

At this time, a beautiful black-haired girl also came over, her eyes flickered, and she said cautiously: "Hello, can I take a photo with you?"

This girl looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but her actual age should be a bit younger. This is a characteristic of many European and American girls.

Her height is similar to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran seemed a little impressed when he looked at this girl, and Djokovic on the side seemed to know her, and the two chatted in Serbian.

"Novak, is this lady from your country too?"

"Yes, she is my age, her name is Ana Ivanovic, and she is the best female junior player in Europe."

It turned out to be her, no wonder Chen Ran felt familiar.

For a long time, Ivanovic and Sharapova have been two shining pearls in women's tennis and the WTA's signatures.

Just comparing the record, Ivanovic only has 1 championship and 2 runner-ups in Grand Slam events, which is much worse than Sharapova.

In addition, her career was not long-lasting and she retired before the age of 30, making Ivanovic's memory for Chen Ran inferior to Sharapova.

But it is undeniable that with his elegant temperament and black hair, Ivanovic’s beauty combines the advantages of the East and the West.

At this moment, the little girl looked at Chen Ran with a pair of watery eyes.

"Yes, of course!" Chen Ran nodded in agreement.

The little girl stood close to Chen Ran, even tilting her head slightly in his direction, with a beautiful smile on her pretty face.

However, European girls are very direct. They seemed not to be satisfied after taking a group photo, and made demands to "go harder".

Ivanovich first asked for a hug with Chen Ran, and then gave him a kiss. Then the little girl covered her mouth excitedly and jumped up and down happily, just like a little girl who fulfilled her dream of chasing stars.

As for Djokovic, who is also from Serbia and Montenegro, he smiled stupidly and clapped when he saw this scene.

"I thought... maybe you could have a relationship."

After Chen Ran left, Djokovic joked to Ivanovic.

"But he must be a superstar in China, and there must be many girls in the entertainment industry who want to fall in love with him." Ivanovic shook his head, "Compared with those female artists, we female athletes have no advantage. .”

"Who knows? Maybe he has different tastes." Djokovic shrugged, and then said somewhat "against his will", "I prefer female athletes."

If Chen Ran stood here and heard Djokovic's words, he would definitely sneer.

Although you, this guy, showed your favor to Sharapova more than once in the future, you finally chose a Serbian beauty pageant girl.

"Novak, what do you think he will achieve in this French Open?"

"Although he is the No. 4 seed, I think he is almost in the top 8, right?" Djokovic said slowly, touching his chin, "He is only one year older than me. It is already very impressive to enter the top 8 of the French Open. "

"Who is the youngest champion of the French Open?" Ivanovic suddenly asked.

"Zhang Depei, he seems to be Chinese too? No, he should be American." Djokovic, as a European, obviously does not know much about this. "When he won the championship, he seemed to be a little over 17 years old."

"God! You are so young. This is men's tennis!" Ivanovic looked very surprised.

"By the way, I saw the news before. Zhang Depei is now Chen Ran's head coach." Djokovic finally thought of this, "This is a clay court master, so this should be Chen Ran's first coach." That’s why I won the Clay Masters in one appearance.”

"Novak, do you think it is possible for Chen Ran to win this French Open and become the youngest Grand Slam winner in history?" Ivanovic suddenly asked with some expectation.

"This... this is too difficult." Djokovic is obviously not very optimistic, "Even if Chen Ran can replicate the miracle of the semi-finals of the Australian Open, it is incredible."

"Is that so?" Ivanovich tilted his little head and whispered.

She secretly looked into the distance, a light flashing in her eyes.

……

After Chen Ran returned to the hotel room, he slowly took out a small note from his pocket.It was exactly what Ivanovic, the Serbian and Black beauty, had secretly given to her when she took a photo with her just now, with her phone number written on it.

The silly little German was just clapping his hands and probably didn't notice this episode at all.

But what does this mean?Does that mean I have the right to fire on her?
Based on the experience of later generations, Chen Ran knew that after firing, there might be a danger of being written a short essay by the other party and then overturning.

Of course, Chen Ran is a top tennis player. Even if he is exposed by the media, he will only be treated as a piece of gossip and there will be no chance of overturning.

What's more, in the future Ivanovic will also be a well-known player in the tennis world. She should not do such a dishonorable thing as "writing a small essay". She also wants to save face.

It can even be said that writing "little compositions" is the preserve of little fairies in China, and almost no one abroad does this.

Chen Ran sat on the chair and pondered for a long time.

Presumably, the Serbian beauty must be staring at her phone eagerly, expecting to receive a text message.

Thinking about it from another angle, is this the first female athlete who has actively sent him a note since he became a professional tennis player?And the other party's appearance is not bad.

Frankly speaking, if it were any other female athlete like A Cat and A Dog who took the initiative to stuff a note to herself, even if Chen Ran accepted the note, she would have thrown it directly into the trash can after turning around.

But the opponent is Ivanovic, who combines strength and beauty, and will become famous throughout the professional tennis world in the future.

So Chen Ran was very sure that there was no risk, and there was no such thing as a fairy dance.

"It's better to reply with a message, otherwise the girl will be impatient and even make her sad." Chen Ran thought very "kindly".

So, he sent a message back to Ivanovich based on the number in the note.

Sure enough, the other party responded quickly: God, I thought you would throw the note into the trash can!It was my first time to send a note to a player I liked, and I was really nervous.

Is this true?But Chen Ran didn't care.

"No, I won't do something so rude." Chen Ran replied, "This is my private number. Don't tell anyone, including your compatriot Novak Djokovic!"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!" Ivanovich immediately replied and promised.

"You are outstanding and I wish you an early start on the adult field."

"I also hope you can win the French Open this time! I believe you can do it!"

This little girl has such a sweet mouth, and her tone of voice is really like that between a little fangirl and an idol.

I remember that in his previous life, Ivanovic's most admired person was Federer, but now Federer's limelight is almost overshadowed by Chen Ran.

"Girl, you praise me too much, which will make me lose my mind. Frankly speaking, my goal is to be in the top four." Chen Ran said.

Of course, these top four goals were just his bottom line, but he never told anyone about it.

"If you are in the semi-finals, that would be great. After all, you are still so young and have already won three Masters championships."

"I believe you will also win the Masters and even the Grand Slam in the future."

Unknowingly, Chen Ran actually praised the other party.

"Really, this is too far away from me, and it's not something I should consider now."

The little girl was a little excited. Before she finished sending a message, she sent another one.

"I have a small request."

"what?"

"If I participate in adult competitions in the future, I hope to form mixed doubles with you in the Grand Slam arena!"

Chen Ran couldn't help but caressed his forehead. It was European girls who were so direct, but all the little fans were so direct.

It should be the latter, right?

After all, in China, little fans spend thousands or tens of thousands on a concert ticket, and even wear a wedding dress to see it. Where are they now?
Chen Ran has not participated in any mixed doubles or doubles matches so far. The main reason is that he wants to focus on singles.

Some players choose doubles to find some match status for themselves.

Chen Ran, who has a "simulated training ground", does not have this problem, so there is no need to bother.

"Mixed doubles? Yes, if you think it won't affect your singles performance, I have no problem with it. Of course, the premise is that my energy and body allow it."

"You know, the men's Grand Slam is the best of five sets. If I play five sets in a certain match and it's very intense, I might miss the appointment. But the same goes for you, you have to consider your body first. situation."

Ivanovic happily replied: "Well, this is what it should be. Then we have agreed. I have to work hard and hope to participate in the adult Grand Slam main draw as soon as possible."

Chen Ran rubbed his eyebrows and put away his phone.

When will Ivanovic be able to participate in the Grand Slam main draw?

She is not a talented girl like Sharapova who appears out of nowhere, so she has to wait, right?

And...Maria Sharapova, look at how proactive Ivanovic is.Why don't you take the initiative to give me your phone number? You are too aloof.

However, Chen Ran still felt a bit proud to be sent a small note directly from Ivanovic.

He silently noted the name "Ivanovich" on his mobile phone. This seemed to be the name of the first foreign girl in his mobile phone address book, right?Well, she is the first girl, not that kind of aunt.

At this moment, Chen Ran only felt energetic. He went to the hotel gym to exercise for a while and saw many players participating in the French Open.

But everyone has a tacit understanding, and they all focus on their own exercises without disturbing each other.

When Chen Ran returned to the room dripping with sweat, he saw several unread text messages on his phone, and he knew who sent them without having to guess.

This is Chen Ran's personal mobile phone. Very few people know about it, and almost no one sends him messages.

The girl was obviously looking for a topic, for example, she asked some questions about China, such as food, tourist attractions, etc.

He simply replied and explained that he had just been training in the gym.

Ivanovic should also realize that it seems inappropriate to send messages so frequently. Her career dream has not yet been realized, and she is not a purely star-chasing fangirl.

So she finally replied, "Looking forward to competing in China in the future," and ended the intermittent chat.
