Chapter 335 The first impact from Fei Tianwang

This is the third time Chen Ran has reached the Grand Slam final.

Exciting times.

For countless tennis players, reaching a Grand Slam final is a coveted moment.

There are only four opportunities in a year.

Chen Ran looked around the audience arrogantly, as if telling the audience that no matter what hardships or obstacles, nothing could stop him from reaching the finals.

He was also greeted with boos and applause.

Not only Chinese fans, but also local Australian fans.

Chen Ran won praise from the opponent with his undisputed performance.

At this moment, Hewitt was already standing next to the net, waiting for Chen Ran.

He looked at the other person and vaguely remembered himself more than a year ago, so high-spirited and glorious.

However, during this period of time, let alone a Grand Slam, I have not even won a Masters championship.

After Chen Ran looked around the audience, he walked to the center of the court and clapped his hands with Hewitt.

"Chen, I know there were some controversial penalties today, but your performance was impeccable."

Chen Ran smiled lightly and said: "Although this is my second year playing on tour, I know it is part of the game. Today is not the first time, and it will not be the last."

Now that he has won the victory, his mentality is very open-minded.

If luck is bad, cynicism may be inevitable.

In short, he is not a master who is willing to suffer losses.

After Hewitt thought for a while, he continued: "You are still young and you will have the opportunity to fight for more honors in the future and stay healthy. In addition, I wish you good luck in the finals."

"Thank you!" Chen Ran also smiled generously.

At this moment, he needs to show his general demeanor.

As the winner, Chen Ran no longer needs to worry about what just happened on the court.

In his opinion, on the court, release all your energy without reservation; when leaving the court, hold your head high and refuse to leave any regrets or regrets.

No matter you win or lose, give it your all and have no regrets.

That's enough.

Whatever happens on the field, let him stay on the field, and there is no need to take it off the field.

What's more, most of the time, your character is conserved.

Just like when I met Safin in the first round, I experienced a tough battle.

But the subsequent game went smoothly, and he reached the semi-finals with almost no obstacles, and even received a retirement gift from Nadal.

Thinking about it from another angle, I was indeed targeted by the referee today.

But in my future career, there will be times when I will be taken care of by referees.

Chen Ran thought very clearly.

However, he also knows very well that taking advantage of such a rare opportunity is definitely a good opportunity to increase the player's power.

Therefore, at the press conference after the game, Chen Ran avoided the referee's question and said very plainly: "I think the Hawkeye system should speed up. The original plan was to start at the end of this year. If it can start in the second half of the year Wimbledon would be even better.”

He obviously knew this was impossible.

Although the introduction of the Hawkeye system into tennis matches is a general trend, the debugging of the Hawkeye system and the obstacles from all parties will inevitably delay its upper limit.

In fact, Chen Ran never expected that the "Eagle Eye System" would be introduced at this year's Wimbledon. He was speaking out like a lion and said this deliberately.

"Also, I won't make any comment on the refereeing issue today. The game is over, so it's not necessary."

When Chen Ran faced the criticism from reporters and media, he kept talking.

Although he did not mention the referee by name, he was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the penalty by constantly talking about the "Eagle Eye System", but he could not find any opportunity for people to take action. It was really cunning.

"Do you think the Hawk-Eye system can reduce misjudgments?"

"How do I know if I haven't used it? Of course I am very much looking forward to it. As for the result, we can only say that we will wait and see." Chen Ran said without missing a beat, "Anything new is full of uncertainty."

He said this intentionally.

In fact, Chen Ranke knows better than anyone present the disruptive changes that the "Eagle Eye System" has brought to the tennis game.

Since the introduction of the Hawkeye system in tennis matches, misjudgments have almost disappeared from tennis matches.

But this is a secret, and there is no need for Chen Ran to reveal this information at this moment. What he needs is to shout from the sidelines, hoping that the "Eagle Eye System" can be introduced into the game as soon as possible.

"Chen Ran, what kind of power do you think players should have in the 'Hawkeye System', or whether they can use this system to challenge the authority of referees." A reporter from Australia asked with some ill intentions. .

Apparently, he was digging a trap again.

Seeing Hewitt eliminated, these Australian media felt even more uncomfortable than losing money in a casino.

"It's too early to discuss this now." Chen Ran obviously would not fall for the trap. He was too thoughtful. "This requires discussion between the players and the ATP. By the way, I will become a One of the executive committee members of the players union.”

"I think all of this is for a better future for tennis."

"Who do you prefer to play against in the next match? Federer or Philippoussis." asked another reporter from Australia.

This time at the Australian Open, Australian players actually performed very well.

One Hewitt and one Philipsis, both of them reached the semi-finals.

Even the most optimistic ideas of the event organizing committee may not have expected this scene.

"That shouldn't be my concern."

"I just do my best, it doesn't matter who my opponent is."

"Now that I'm in the finals, no matter who I play against, my goal is to win."

Chen Ran said very calmly.

In fact, he knows very well how terrible Federer was in 2004.

In the original time and space, he won three Grand Slam titles in one year except the French Open, which was simply unstoppable.

Obviously, today's Fei Tianwang has become more and more impeccable as he continues to mature mentally, technically, and physically.

In addition, Federer is not yet No. 1 in the world, which makes him maintain a strong sense of hunger.

He has been eyeing Chen Ran's position for a long time, and the Australian Open is his best chance to become the world's number one.

Since Chen Ran climbed to the top of the world at the French Open last year, Roddick first launched an attack.

They were at the US Open, the Asian season, and the end of the year, a total of three times, but they all failed.

Chen Ran also took this opportunity to extend his number one week in the world to 30 weeks.

He blocked Roddick's momentum.

At this Australian Open, perhaps because of the degrading behavior of the American media, Roddick has become sluggish, making this guy unable to pose a threat to Chen Ran's world number one for the time being.

But Chen Ran had no intention of letting down his guard at all. He knew that a stronger attacker had appeared.

At the French Open, Chen Ran and Federer met in the final.

At that time, whoever wins will be ranked number one in the world, so they are competing for "number one in the world".

But this time is theoretically the first time that Federer has launched an attack as a challenger after Chen Ran became the world's No. 1 player.

In the original time and space, the target of Federer's attack was Roddick.

At that time, Federer was very relaxed and content. After he reached the final, he had undoubtedly locked in the world's number one position.

Then Federer created an unprecedented achievement, ranking first in the world for 237 consecutive weeks, which lasted from the end of January 2004 until mid-August 1, when he changed hands to Nadal.

Even Djokovic could not surpass this record.

But this time, the target of his attack was Chen Ran.

January 2004, now!

The final is not enough, a championship is needed.

Roddick in his previous life, when facing Federer's impact, lay flat with little resistance, but Chen Ran is obviously much more difficult to deal with than Roddick, so it is impossible for him to collapse at the first touch like Roddick.

What's more, Chen Ran will definitely face wave after wave of Federer's attacks in the next few years, and today's Australian Open is the first wave.

Of course he hopes that Philippoussis can win this semi-final, but is this realistic?

The reason Chen Ran didn't say anything was because he was worried that these "kangaroos" would break through.

Obviously, the game progressed as Chen Ran had expected.

费德勒以6：3，6：4，6：3，直落三盘非常轻松地带走了比赛。

As a result, Chen Ran will face Federer's first wave of impact on the world's number one.

PS: I feel dizzy today, and I can hardly keep my eyes open as I write, so I have to update one chapter first.
