Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 364: The transformed Roddick still can’t escape the curse of “grabbing 7”

Chapter 364: The transformed Roddick still cannot escape the curse of "Tie-break"

The gimmick of the "China-US war" made the ticket price of this final almost as high as that of a Grand Slam match.

Chen Ran and Roddick once again performed top-notch visual enjoyment.

The sharpest serve versus the best return.

"Can Chen Ran maintain his unbeaten record in the finals?"

"Can Roddick break Chen Ran's undefeated streak in the finals?"

Many top players in professional tennis have mentioned that once Chen Ran reaches the finals, he will enter another realm.

With the championship within reach, he was able to elevate his competitive state to the extreme.

Chen Ran was born for big scenes!

However, in the first set, the vigorous Roddick gave Chen Ran several "love games" in his serve game, which obviously affected Chen Ran's performance on the serving end.

7 is better than 5!

In the twelfth game, Roddick was trailing 30-40 and almost entered the tie-break with one foot. He scored three points in a row to complete the break of Chen Ran and take the lead in winning the first set.

Amid the cheers from the American audience, Roddick, who was playing locally, felt hot.

He is only one step away from becoming the first player to defeat Chen Ran in the finals.

"Perhaps Chen Ran won the previous games too easily and did not encounter any decent challenges, which made him unable to adapt to the intensity of this game."

The reporter from China said with some concern.

"On Chen Ran's path to promotion, there were only two big-seeded players, Agassi and Ferrero, but these two guys were eliminated early."

"But it's okay. He has retained his No. 1 ranking in the world anyway."

"In this Miami Masters, our Chinese players won both the men's singles runner-up and the women's singles runner-up. We are gratified."

These guys are already thinking about how to write the article.

However, the facts seem to be developing in the direction they expected.

Roddick's serving condition is very good today, and he has already sent several cannonballs with speeds exceeding 210 kilometers per hour.

In almost every service game he serves, there is at least an ace or a straight serve.

Even though Chen Ran has the best receiving skills in the world, he is still too passive.

"There is no hope of breaking the hair!"

In the audience, Zheng Jie and Li Na looked at each other and whispered.

Men's tennis and women's tennis are indeed two different sports.

Even in competitions between top players in women's tennis, there is rarely such a cannon of serve, and breaking serve is not that difficult.

Roddick's serve made both of them feel desperate.

If this speed of serve were coming towards them, they wouldn't even dare to have the courage to return the serve.

After all, there were news reports that Roddick's serve broke his partner's bones.

It was another easy serve, and Chen Ran only got a measly point.

The two sides fought again to a 5-5 tie.

"If my serving speed is 210+ kilometers, it would be considered the upper limit, but this is just Andy's average speed."

"Damn it! His serving level has reached the peak of his previous life...maybe even better."

Chen Ran cursed secretly.

Whenever the cannon-like serve roared in, he really felt a lot of pressure.

In the "simulation training ground", Chen Ran had never encountered a similar cannon server.

"In this country, the United States, first Roddick, then Isner, and by the way, Fritz, everyone is a cannonball."

"I can only say that the talent points are completely wrong!"

However, my serve is not weak either!

Especially the landing point and rotation control.

Chen Ran quickly responded with a high-quality ACE ball.

The speed was only 190+ kilometers, but the strong internal rotation and excellent landing point prevented Roddick from making any reaction to receive the serve.

From the perspective of visual effects, the serves of the two men have their own merits. One pursues extreme speed and power, while the other reaches the pinnacle of control over his serving skills.

Therefore, Chen Ran also gave Roddick a "love game" in his serve game.

There was not much stalemate. Chen Ran would either serve and score directly, or he would establish an absolute advantage directly after serving and then be killed within a few beats.

As Chen Ran became more focused on his serve, Roddick did not find any break opportunities in the second set.

The two sides reached a tiebreaker at 6-6.

Damn it’s tiebreaker again!

Roddick cursed secretly.

He had no psychological shadow about the tiebreaker, but he was full of bad memories of playing the tiebreaker with Chen Ran.

In the "tie-break", he never won once!

Time and time again, Roddick tried to attack Chen Ran's serve, but all failed.

Sure enough, when the "tie-break" began, the curse came true again.

Roddick, who served first, was immediately broken by Chen Ran, who then held serve twice.

In less than two minutes, he fell behind Chen Ran 0-3.

"FUCK!"

Roddick was so angry that he wanted to smash his racket.

He definitely has improved compared to last year's US Open and the end of the year. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has improved.

But in the "tiebreak", Roddick still had no idea.

Five minutes later, the tiebreaker score between the two sides was fixed at 1-7.

Chen Ran was extremely cruel and gave each other a fried dough stick.

Suddenly, the audience of more than 10,000 spectators fell silent, while a few Chinese spectators waved five-star red flags and cheered.

For American fans, the worst is coming.

Developed American professional sports have given birth to developed sports media.

These American reporters have already made statistics. Roddick was completely crushed in the "tie-break" with Chen Ran.

They were looking forward to today's game, where Roddick could break this inner demon.

But apparently, they are optimistic.

No matter how good Roddick performed in the first twelve games, once he entered the tie-break, he seemed to be a different person and couldn't play at all.

He still couldn't overcome the psychological shadow of "tie-break".

"waste!"

"You are far behind Sampras and Agassi No. 2, and you are still boasting about surpassing them. Just brag!"

The arrogant American fans began to curse crazily after seeing Roddick beaten 1-7 by Chen Ran in the "tie-break".

"The balance of victory is beginning to tilt!"

As professional players with a lot of tour experience, both Zheng Jie and Li Na are aware of this.

Chen Ran's perfect performance in the "tiebreak" made Roddick start to worry about gains and losses.

The third set was also the deciding set.

The two sides continued to go back and forth, and the fight was exciting.

But a sense of unease and irritability has been lingering in Roddick's mind.

Even some fans noticed that Chen Ran wanted to repeat his old tricks and drag the game into a "tiebreak".

Things progressed exactly as Chen Ran expected.

After both sides maintained their own 6 service games, they entered the "tiebreak" again.

When American fans expected Roddick to be "harder," this guy fell flat.

The score in the "tiebreak" turned out to be 7-0!
