Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 350 Dubai’s wealthy people and attractive benefits

Chen Ran has carefully analyzed it countless times, not only in this time and space, but also in previous lives.

He has always believed that among the more popular and influential sports in the world, Chinese people have the greatest potential in tennis.

First of all, football and basketball are basically out of reach.

These two sports are too deep. They are affected by the selfishness of coaches, interference by leaders, and the influence of various factors. In short, human nature is everywhere. They are not as simple and pure as tennis.

At this point, the memory of the past life was too profound for Chen Ran, and he was unable to change it.

In addition, baseball and rugby are also team sports, but there is basically no room for survival in China.

To take a step back, if these two team sports can also produce huge economic benefits in China, then all kinds of monsters and monsters will come back to the surface one after another.

The best example is the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, which was once the world's top team and won all heavyweight championships including the Olympics and World Championships, but it also fell at the speed of light in a short period of time.

Because all kinds of people came out to pick fruits.

Tennis is a lonely sport. While players need to endure loneliness, they can also get rid of the entanglements of these systems and even the random instructions of leaders.

Athletes can also travel lightly without any worries.

Of course, this is also due to the tennis tour model and prize distribution method, rather than the club model, which successfully avoids the intervention of outsiders.

Based on the above summary, Chen Ran firmly believes that under his leadership, tennis in China will definitely usher in a moment of take-off.

During this period, Chen Ran has been staying in Yanjing, training with the players of the national team.

He even shares his coaching staff. This is normal. Later Li Na and Zhang Zhizhen did this.

Anyway, it is a team you hired with money, so you should make full use of it.

However, throughout February, while Chen Ran was on vacation, the entire professional tennis world was bustling with activity.

The new ATP season will not stop because of Chen Ran's vacation. On the contrary, in order to compete for points and better rankings, players have been traveling non-stop to various parts of the world to start one inspiring match after another.

The highlight of February is the ATP 2 tournament held in Dubai.

Thanks to the generosity of the white turbans, this stop was a star-studded one.

Except for the special being Chen Ran, all the top 10 players in the world participated.

Although Federer was exhausted from the thrilling five-set battle in the Australian Open final, he dragged his exhausted body to the United Arab Emirates because the opponent gave him "too much".

After all, today's Federer is not like Federer in his previous life who has already achieved financial freedom and will never let go of any opportunity to make money.

Perhaps because of the high consumption of the Australian Open, Federer was eliminated after only two rounds, and the winner turned out to be Russian star Safin, who had just returned from injury.

The ATP Dubai 500 is undoubtedly the most prestigious 500 event at the moment.

It is as attractive to top players as the ATP Masters.

Chen Ran was very impressed that Roger Federer should have won three consecutive championships in this event between 2003 and 2005, which was a sensation.

Federer was the champion last year, but lost the championship this year. It can only be said that the Australian Open final exhausted him and had a great impact.

And Safin, who was originally the runner-up at the Australian Open, stopped in the first round this time, but performed superbly in the Dubai tournament, passing all the way, defeating all the players, and finally won the championship.

His butterfly effect has affected professional tennis beyond recognition.

Chen Ran watched the final in the athletes' dormitory in Yanjing.

After Safin defeated Roddick, this tall old man was so excited that his nose burst into tears and he cried with joy.

After a year of absence, constant battles with injuries, and constant mental suffering, the pain has finally come to an end. Safin was as excited as winning the ATP 500 tournament, as if he had won a Grand Slam.

Chen Ran can completely understand!

If he misses the game for a year, he must have the same mentality.

"Safin is back and the future tours should be exciting!"

In today's professional tennis world, there are few people who can become real competitors with him.

"besides……"

Chen Ran first waved his arm and then patted his thigh.

Injuries are something that no athlete can avoid.

He has a system, and the system can slowly increase his physical fitness, but it does not mean that his body is indestructible.

Metaphysically speaking, there is no necessary relationship between physical fitness and your endurance.

This is why Chen Ran arranged a relationship with a yoga instructor for himself.

Safin, and the future Murray, are all geniuses ruined by injuries.

……

Early the next morning, when Chen Ran appeared again at the National Tennis Training Center, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

As the popularity of tennis continues to soar in China, the domestic media has paid a lot of attention to the Dubai 500 this time.

Many questions are surrounding the Dubai 500.

After all, all the world's top players except Chen Ran attended. Even Roddick, who is always known for his big mouth, also joked: "Why doesn't Chen Ran come to Dubai? Don't you even want a chance to make money? And this is only once a year." valuable opportunity.”

He just warmed up and stretched his muscles, and then he earned US$80 in appearance fees.

The Dubai 500 has a benefit that makes all players excited. All bonuses and appearance fees are tax-free!

Like competitions in other places, a large amount of tax will be deducted from both bonuses and appearance fees, usually between 3% and 5%.

But there is no need to pay a penny of tax in the Dubai race. This is the rich thing about the white turbans.

They are just too rich.

"Chen Ran, what do you think of Safin winning the championship?"

"Safin is still the same Safin. His condition has recovered, so I congratulate him on winning the championship."

Then he joked: "When Marat stopped smashing the racket, he seemed to become stronger than before."

"I also look forward to having more matches with him in the future."

"What made you reject Dubai's invitation? After all, this is a discount of 100 million US dollars after tax." The reporter continued to ask with concern.

"Yeah, it's hard for most people to refuse the temptation of 100 million US dollars, and it's after tax." Chen Ran shrugged, and then said slowly, "But I once promised that my first 500 event would be at the China Open, so I have to I keep my word. In addition, this is an Olympic year, and it is my responsibility to train with the national team."

"But I should go to Dubai next year, if there are no injuries."
