Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 247 I destroyed the British players!

PS: As I said before, this Wimbledon is not going to win the championship anyway, so the pace should be fast and try not to be too lazy.

……

Among the four Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon, which is now the oldest and most prestigious, also had a Chinese player win the first main draw, which is another memorable moment.

You must know that in 2023, before Chen Ran traveled through time, although Chinese male netizens had risen, their first victory at Wimbledon had not yet come.Of the four Grand Slam tournaments, only Wimbledon has yet to be conquered.

Chen Ran clenched his fists tightly, then put his hands on his hips and looked around the No. [-] stadium meaningfully.

It seems to be talking about "seed cemetery"?But that's it!

Having won the third Grand Slam tournament, Chen Ran naturally seemed a little excited.

After almost three weeks off, it feels good to be playing again.

The Sky Sports host at the scene grabbed Chen Ran with great excitement and shouted "unbelievable".

The "unpopular curse" on Court No. [-] actually failed to apply to this newcomer on the grass.

"Man, are you disappointed?" Chen Ran was not polite and joked directly.

"Oh, no!" the Sky Sports host immediately denied, "I just can't believe that this is your first grass-court game in your career, and you can have such an outstanding performance."

"So I spent the first set to adapt to the grass court." Chen Ran said seriously, "One set of games to adapt to the court is enough for me."

Can you adapt to playing on grass in one game?

The host froze on the spot with some exaggeration. This was too crazy.

"Then how far is your goal in this competition? The semi-finals, the finals, or even the championship?" He hoped to hear an answer from Chen Ran that was worthy of the arrogant tone just now.

"Well... let's hold on until the second week." Chen Ran changed his arrogant tone and said very modestly.

Why have you become so low-key again?

The Sky Sports host once again looked at Chen Ran in surprise, and the other person's answer was once again beyond his expectations.

and many more!

It seems that according to the lottery, Chen Ran's opponent in the next round will be their British native Rusedski.

Now 30 years old, Rusedski can be regarded as a famous player in the tennis world for many years, and Wimbledon is his blessed place. He has reached the top 16 four times and the top eight once.

He is also the number two figure in British tennis after Henman.

The British always long for local players to be successful in Wimbledon, and Henman and Rusedski are their expectations.

However, in 2003, Rusedski was troubled by injuries and missed the Australian Open and the subsequent Sunshine Double Tournament. After returning in the clay court season, his performance was not outstanding, and he was almost eliminated in the first round.

But even so, as a local darling, Wimbledon is still expected by British fans in its home stadium.

"Chen, do you know who your opponent will be in the next round?"

"Who?" Chen Ran also suddenly remembered this matter, "To be honest, I really haven't asked about it yet."

After the draw came out, Chen Ran only cared about his opponents in the first round.

Because he himself knows very well that if you aim too high, you might go home in the first round.

"It's Lucedes, a player from our country."

"It's him!" Chen Ran shrugged and said with a smile, "Rusedes is a very good player. It seems that it will not be easy to achieve the goal of the second week."

"Well, we are looking forward to the second round." The host also echoed, with a complicated tone.

The organizing committee obviously had deep intentions in making this arrangement. They believed that Chen Ran was a high-ranking seed that was relatively easy to deal with, and thought that there would also be a fierce duel between him and Philippoussis, so that local players could benefit.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

After Chen Ran said goodbye to the host, he also muttered whether this was the first time he had competed against a British player since he became a professional player?

Indeed, he is the only famous British player in this era.

Then the second round game should be arranged at the All England Club's Center Court.

Chen Ran has a small goal. He hopes to play on the center court of each of the four Grand Slams this year.

In addition, he signed up for mixed doubles at Wimbledon, which can also be seen as a game to adapt to the court and warm up more.

Anyway, mixed doubles is not taken seriously, and running is far less demanding than singles, and the physical consumption is much lower than that of men's doubles. This is a way to keep yourself feeling good.

Early the next morning, the combination of Chen Ran and Sharapova easily swept a pair of teams from Spain and Argentina with 6:3, and easily entered the top 16.

The two have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Chen Ran has been standing on the baseline and constantly attacking with her sharp forehand. Sharapova, who is standing in the service area, can often complete volleys easily because of her tall body.

To be precise, the two's tennis prowess has a great advantage in the mixed doubles competition, and their talents are overwhelming.

"Great!"

"Chen Ran, thank you!"

"This is my second Grand Slam main draw victory!"

Sharapova was so excited that she jumped up and down and high-fived Chen Ran again.

Just yesterday, Sharapova won her first Grand Slam main draw singles victory, which also brought relief to the 16-year-old girl.Chen Ran was much calmer and said with a smile: "We just won the first round. I think our combination should be able to go further."

"I hope we will have good luck in the singles match tomorrow." Sharapova said seriously.

She was far from satisfied with just winning one singles match.

……

"Asian Double Star!"

This is what the British media said about Chen Ran and Sri Chapan.

Because so far, only Asian players Chen Ran and Sri Chapan have entered the second round.

But from Chen Ran's perspective, he had not thought that he and Sri Chapan would be named "Asian Double Stars" by these arrogant British media.

If it was just after the Australian Open, you British media would understandably comment like this.

But now that he is the French Open champion and world number one, he is still treated like this. He is worthy of being an arrogant British man.

This also made the media from China extremely dissatisfied.

British guy, what kind of "Asian double star" is this?
The honors between the two are so different that they deserve to be compared together.

Would you like to compare the A-A football game with your Premier League?

Chen Ran's fans also cursed after seeing such comments from the British media.

At the same time, they also borrowed Chen Ran's joking words at the French Open. This so-called "Asian double star" is the relationship of "North Qiao Feng, South Murong", right?
You must know that before Chen Ran quoted this sentence, the metaphor of "North Qiao Feng, South Murong" only stayed in the work of "Dragon Babu" itself.

But after Chen Ran quoted this sentence, "North Qiao Feng, South Murong" has become a very popular term on the Internet, and has been quoted by many guys, implying that the other party is not worthy of commenting on him.

For example, Jay Chou and Leehom Wang, the two new generation Chinese kings, are recognized today, but Jay Chou's fans will complain when they quarrel with each other's fans: East evil and west poison?I bother!The relationship between these two people is "Northern Qiao Feng, Southern Murong" which is pretty much the same.

As a result, people from all walks of life began to quote Chen Ran’s joke.

The term "dog licking" became popular on the Internet overnight, while "Beiqiao Feng, Nan Murong" has slowly flowed like a long stream, and more and more netizens have realized the meaning of the words in it. Essence.

But some Chen Hei jumped out and said sarcastically: Chen Ran's fans should keep a lower profile. After all, no one can guarantee that he will be able to go further than Sri Chapan at Wimbledon.

On the third match day, Srichaphan defeated the unknown Frenchman Olivier Moutis 3-2 in five sets and reached the top 32.

Just a short distance away, No. 12 seed Sri Chapan will be exposed as an upset.

Sri Chapan was so excited that his rough face howled wildly like a wild beast.

The pressure was on Chen Ran's side.

The focus battle begins.

Rusedski, like Australian Philippoussis, is a heavy-server player.

Their serve gives many tennis players a headache.

But what no one knows is that Chen Ran, like Djokovic in the future, is not afraid of heavy serving players at all.

Chen Ran has a technical attribute as high as 89, and he is constantly observing Djokovic's serve-receiving skills in the "simulation training ground", and quickly absorbs nutrients from it and thrives.

Therefore, in the second round, Chen Ran still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game when facing Rusedski, who had an amazing momentum and seemed to have recovered.

In the first set, Chen Ran won the tiebreaker 7:4.

In the second set, Chen Ran broke serve in the 12th game and won the game 7:5.

In the third set, Chen Ran entered the tiebreaker again and won the game 7:2.

The king of tie-breaks is not only on hard courts or clay, but also on grass.

7:6，7:5，7:6！

The whole game seemed tense, but Rusedski failed to complete a break of serve or a mini-break, and Chen Ran swept the game 3-0 without any danger.

The gap may seem close, but the chasm is very difficult to bridge.

After all, although Rusedski served sharply, in Chen Ran's serve game, due to the all-round gap in technical strength, he was completely easily suppressed by Chen Ran. As long as his serving state fluctuated slightly, he would be caught by the opponent. The key to winning.

"If it were my serve every time, I would have a chance to win." After the game, Rusedski thought a little depressed.

This is equivalent to saying that he has no chance to beat Chen Ran, as long as the latter's level remains normal.

3-0 is obviously more convincing than Sri Chaphan's 3-2.

But the British media continued to say sourly: "Asia's twin stars continue to thrive."

In short, they have always insisted that at least on grass courts, the two of them are players of the same level.

"In the next round, our top star Henman will definitely stop this Chinese kid!"

At this moment, Chen Ran finally noticed his opponent in the next round, who was another Englishman.

Team up and get killed, right?
