Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 305 Two major records in one battle

Chen Ran didn't remember whether Henman, a famous British player, had won the Masters in the original time and space.

But this time, it was indeed the moment that the nearly 30-year-old veteran came closest to winning a top-level event.

Perhaps God's will is there, and a few years later when Henman gradually faded out of the game, Murray turned out to be the star.

However, Murray is a Scotsman, and even he himself sometimes laughs at himself: Only when a Scotsman succeeds will they regard me as an Englishman.

But from Chen Ran's perspective, it should be very interesting to suppress generations of famous British players from today's Henman to future Murray.

At this moment, Chen Ran was doing some warm-up movements very calmly.

After four rounds of competition, Chen Ran has gradually adapted to the indoor hard court.

In comparison, British Henman's expression was much more solemn.

When he thought of Wimbledon not long ago, he only lost to Chen Ran after five sets.

So today's final may not be impossible to win.

So far, Henman has not had a heavyweight championship in his career, which is the biggest regret.

Now is the best chance.

What's more, Chen Ran is not in the best condition at this moment.

To be precise, he is not as comfortable adapting to indoor hard courts as he is to other types of courts.

In addition, if he can defeat Chen Ran, it will not only be a Masters champion, but also prevent the birth of a great record.

This should also be very fulfilling.

……

At this moment, two middle-aged foreigners were sitting in a VIP box in the auditorium.

One is Allen, the president of Blizzard, and the other is Renn, an executive of Blizzard's parent company Vivendi of France.

"Mr. Renn, I have made countless assumptions about China's agents, but I never thought that such a young Chinese tennis player would show such a strong interest."

Until this moment, Allen had an unreal feeling like being in a dream.

After all, Chen Ran is so young and so rich, and under the age of eighteen, he is already the most outstanding player in professional tennis.

"I think it's good to have him as an agent!" Frenchman Rennes shrugged. "His popularity can help our games spread quickly in China without even having to do promotion."

"As for wealth, he should be one of the highest-paid athletes in the world this year."

"That should be no problem."

Allen frowned, but didn't say anything.

He just thought silently in his heart that this boss fit his stereotype of French people, and his idea was too naive.

Of course, it is normal for many company executives to be arrogant and aloof from the world.

From Allen's perspective, he should find a company from China that has certain operational experience and outstanding capabilities, and is willing to pay a large amount of agency fees.

But in fact, this "taken advantage of" is not easy to find. After all, based on past historical analysis, all European and American masterpieces have encountered Waterloo in China.

This has discouraged many powerful Chinese game companies.

For example, Shanda, the most powerful company today, is daunted by the conditions offered by Blizzard, and their enthusiasm and enthusiasm have been greatly reduced.

In the subconscious mind of many people in the industry, the Chinese game market seems to be more suitable for those Korean fast-food online games.

Therefore, Allen is also skeptical about the young tennis superstar's ability to promote this game.

The reason why I didn't refuse was because of the face of Nike and IMG.

They are all business circles of North American elites, and everyone looks up but never looks down.

But unfortunately, his French boss seemed to admire this tennis player.

"The game has begun, let's enjoy this final first." Rennes seemed disapproving, "I'm curious whether this Chinese boy can create history. Tennis is so popular in France, but it's a pity that we no longer have top players in France. .”

Tennis originated in France, was born in the United Kingdom, and became popular in the United States.

It is very popular in the upper class society above the middle class in Europe and America.

After a while, Renn said to himself: "I like Chen Ran's playing style very much, it's so beautiful! His skills are so comprehensive... Well, if other Chinese companies offer similar conditions to Chen Ran's If so, why should we choose someone else?”

"Am I right?"

"It's just an agent for a game. It doesn't matter whether the other party is a big company."

"It is said that China Shanda was about to go bankrupt before, but it became one of the richest game companies in the world because of a very ordinary Korean game."

Allen looked helpless and could only agree: "Sir, maybe you are right."

As the parent company of Blizzard, French Vivendi is well known for its arrogance, and is therefore deeply hated by many Blizzard fans.

But so what, the other party is their boss anyway, so they can only obey orders obediently.

…    This final has already begun.

Getting stronger with age, the famous British player Henman showed good competitive status and competition experience.

He took the lead at the beginning and broke serve first.

But Chen Ran was also in good form and immediately completed the breakback.

The score between the two sides was tense and the game was tied at 5-5.

In the end, Chen Ran relied on his smooth and sharp attacks to break serve for the second time in the eleventh game.

In the first set, Chen Ran finally won 7:5.

But in the second set, the British star launched a fierce counterattack.

Henman obviously knew very well that when trailing 1-0, he had no choice but to fight against the odds.

Under his powerful offensive and changeable tactics, Chen Ran even made several mistakes on the net.

In the end, Henman won the second set 6:4.

1 to 1, the two sides drew again.

In the third set, both Chen Ran and Henman chose the "toilet plan".

When both of them returned to the court radiantly, they were full of energy.

There was a lot of back and forth between the two sides, and the crisp sound of hitting the ball resounded throughout the field, and the game entered a tiebreaker.

In the tie-break, Henman still showed a strong competitive state and could barely hold on to his previous serves in the face of Chen Ran's pressure.

However, Chen Ran, who is known as the "King of Tie-breaks", still exerted pressure on both the offensive and defensive ends. Finally, on the eleventh ball, he broke through Henman's psychological defense.

I saw Chen Ran leaping high, pushing lightly with a one-handed backhand, and the tennis ball flew to the far corner.

Winning points.

7: 5!

After a difficult tie-break, Chen Ran won the third set.

This is his fourth 2-1 win in this Paris Masters, but because the finals in this era are best-of-five sets, Chen Ran has yet to truly win.

Fortunately, in the fourth set, Henman's state showed some fluctuations, and Chen Ran decisively seized the opportunity.

The gap between the first-class players and the top players is clearly revealed in the best-of-five sets.

Today's Chen Ran can maintain his superb form throughout the five-set match.

6: 3!

Chen Ran won the fourth set neatly.

3 is better than 1!

The journey was bumpy and arduous, and could even be described as stumbling, but he finally got his wish and won the Paris Masters.

What a relief!

Chen Ran jumped up excitedly on the spot.

Five ATP Masters 1000 titles in one year, who else?

"Dear audience friends, let us give warm applause to Chen Ran!"

"A great record was born!"

"This is definitely the most perfect debut season ever!"

The host at the scene couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, this Chinese will lead a new era of men's tennis.

"Record, a brand new record!"

"Chen Ran set two records in one battle, winning five Masters championships in the year and being the youngest year-end number one."

The host of C5 Sports roared excitedly.

"Before the year-end finals begins, there is no suspense about being number one at the end of the year!"

"This has never happened a few times in the entire history of professional tennis."

"What's even more fortunate is that Chen Ran is not yet 18 years old. I believe that he will continue to bring us various surprises for a long time to come."

"There is also the last important event this year, the Houston Year-End Finals, and the C5 channel will also broadcast the entire event live."

"This is also the first time that our Chinese players have been selected into the eight most outstanding masters at the end of the year!"

"Dear viewers, please stay tuned!"
