Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 327 The rise of players born after 85

How should Chen Ran answer this?

Can any of you win? No, he would never say such a stupid thing.

"Maria, we are partners and have won the Wimbledon mixed doubles championship together. Of course I hope you win." Chen Ran said directly without thinking.

"Then I will continue to partner at Wimbledon this year?" Sharapova continued.

Perhaps this is her truest purpose.

The reason why Sharapova continues to choose to partner with Chen Ran at Wimbledon is because both of them focus on singles and do not have much energy and time to practice together.

In grass-court games, both Chen Ran and Sharapova can rely on their extraordinary talent and strength to achieve success.

Therefore, even though the two of them are somewhat unfamiliar with each other, they have a high probability of achieving good results in the mixed doubles competition at Wimbledon.

"Okay!" Chen Ran agreed, "Sometimes I miss the days when we participated in competitions together."

He knows that according to the original timeline, Sharapova will win the 2004 Wimbledon championship and then grow into a representative figure in women's tennis.

As for whether she could replicate the glory of her previous life this time, Chen Ran was not sure.

The butterfly effect caused by oneself has indeed begun to gradually affect the WTA.

For example, Li Na originally waited until 2005 to participate in the four Grand Slams for the first time, but now she is ahead of schedule.

Another example is several other women's tennis players. Although they failed to pass the Australian Open qualifying rounds this time, they are very likely to participate in the next French Open main draw.

After Chen Ran chatted for a few more words, he put away his phone.

Wimbledon is still some time away, and the first thing to bear is to hand in a satisfactory answer at this Australian Open.

"Chen Ran..."

Coach Zhang Depei came over: "After a winter break, those high-ranking seed players are obviously in good condition."

Whether it was Federer, Agassi, Roddick, or Ferrero, they basically did not encounter any decent challenges and all passed easily.

People often say that the Australian Open should be the best among all the players in the four majors.

The reason is simple. After winter training, the competitive state and physical functions of the top players are at the best period of the year.

"By the way, there is another person you may have some impression of."

"A young player named Nadal...is in the same year as you, and he has already entered the fourth round and the top 16."

As expected of Nadal, he managed to reach the second week of a Grand Slam so quickly.

Chen Ran suddenly became interested: "I think he will become a very competitive player."

Of the three giants in previous lives, in fact, only Nadal became famous at a young age.

He won the French Open at the age of 20, while Federer and Djokovic continued to taste the pain of defeat on the cruel tour stage before they were years old.

Chen Ran looked down at the draw and found that if he and Nadal could continue to win, they would meet in the quarterfinals.

"His next opponent is Ferrero!"

"A duel between two Spanish fellows!"

"interesting!"

Vaguely, Chen Ran had an intuition that this should be a very interesting showdown.

"By the way, there is another person!"

Chen Ran observed the draw for a while and found the location of Wawrinka, the Swiss boy.

He actually made it to the top 32!

Zhang Depei obviously noticed this young Swiss guy and smiled bitterly.

"He! Although he also made it to the 32nd round, he was just complained by his opponent."

"Wearing floral pants, the opponent thinks it is cheating, which seriously affects his concentration."

It's a good complaint, but it's a pity it's useless!

Frankly speaking, he also wanted to complain.

But come to think of it, neither the ATP nor the organizing committees of the four Grand Slam tournaments except Wimbledon have banned the wearing of flowery pants.

However, the Swiss boy's opponent in the next round will be veteran Agassi, and it may be difficult to break through. "Chen, your game is behind Agassi. We can go to the stadium to watch the game for a while." Zhang Depei said, "Agassi is in the same half zone as you after all, and he is your potential competitor."

"Okay, it's time to leave."

……

When Chen Ran took Zhang Depei and his team members to Court No. 2 of the Australian Open, the audience was clapping their hands in an orderly manner, and some guys kept booing in an attempt to disturb the players.

Some people were emotional, some had exaggerated expressions, and some were even cursing loudly.

For some reason, his sixth sense told Chen Ran that these booing audiences should be from the beautiful country.

Could it be that……

Chen Ran seemed to have thought of something and looked up at the big electronic screen.

2 is better than 1!

Wawrinka actually leads Agassi.

At this time, Agassi had his hands spread out, making an exaggerated expression, and kept cursing.

If anyone could understand him, they would hear the following sentence.

"This Swiss guy is even more annoying than that guy Chen Ran!"

Obviously, this guy has been playing basketball all his life and has been greatly affected by Wawrinka's big flowery pants.

Tennis is not only a sport that requires constant running, but also a sport that requires high concentration.

Wawrinka's floral trousers clearly affected Agassi's concentration, or so he firmly believed.

"Wawrinka's violent one-on-one reaction made Agassi very uncomfortable."

Chen Ran whispered to Zhang Depei.

"Yes, although these large flower pants are indeed a bit eye-catching, I must admit that this young Swiss has very perfect skills. It is no accident that he can beat you once in the Rome Masters." Zhang Depei also said very frankly.

The players born in the 80s, especially those born in the 85s, grew up at the turn of the century and experienced the Internet wave. They seem to be different from the players born in the 70s.

The fourth set was tense and intense, and before we knew it, it had reached a tie-break.

slap~

With a crisp sound, the racket in Agassi's hand had deformed.

He didn't even feel relieved and stepped on it a few more times with his feet.

In addition to the first ball in the "tie-break", the two players take turns serving two balls.

Agassi's tie-break ability has never been weak, even though he is now 34 years old.

But his two serves were broken by Wawrinka in a row.

Now in the "tie-break" score, we are already 0-3 behind.

The referee had to give Agassi a warning.

Wawrinka feels hot, especially when victory is close at hand, it is like a divine help.

4: 0!

5: 0!

The tiebreaker was a one-sided situation.

In the end, Wawrinka won the fourth set tie-break with an absolute advantage of 7:1.

The biggest upset of the Australian Open so far has occurred.

Wawrinka defeated Agassi 3-1 and advanced to the top 16.

First it was Nadal, then Wawrinka, and Chen Ran seemed to have no problem entering the top 16.

Players born after 85 have fully emerged.
