Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 395 Chen Ran’s pattern
"What, meet again at the Olympics?"

"Do you mean doubles or singles?"

The Chilean may have never dreamed that his luck would be so good in Athens, that he would be able to win the men's singles and men's doubles gold medals under the siege of many good players.

Although he can be regarded as a backbone in the ATP world, so far he has not even had the chance to hold the plate, let alone the heavyweight championship.

So he was very surprised that Chen Ran would take the initiative to mention the Olympics.

"Of course it's singles. Have you ever participated in doubles? Never, except for one mixed doubles event." Chen Ran said very firmly.

After shaking hands, the two started chatting casually.

"That's such a pity..." Ma Su was a little disappointed and said very frankly, "I think I only have a chance to beat you in doubles."

At least based on Chen Ran's performance today, it would be very difficult for him to beat him in the Olympic singles competition.

Chen Ran shook his head and said: "Who knows? This kind of competition is full of variables, more accidental than the Grand Slam."

Chen Ran knew that Federer in his previous life had always wanted to invite Sampras to come out, but he had never been able to do so.

During the conversation, Chen Ran suddenly understood why this guy could win the Olympic gold medals in doubles and singles. This was completely possessed by BUFF.

"Haha, maybe, this is a national honor after all. When I watch football, I also know this. Many European players will voluntarily quit the national team when they are over 30 years old, while South American players generally will not unless the national team does not want them. Take the initiative to withdraw from the country.”

The old King of Wimbledon went to train a new King of Wimbledon, which will indeed be passed down as a legend.

Why is everything in chaos!
The butterfly effect caused by Chen Ran caused many unexpected things to happen to him.

The simplest example is that when the former Chinese female tennis player Zheng Qinwen reached the Australian Open finals, none of the other female tennis players publicly sent their blessings, and everyone was excited.

Why did Sampras choose Federer instead of Roddick?

Because we belong to the same country, we are more vigilant?
As an individual sport, tennis is actually very competitive among players from the same country.

"How did they hook up?"

When Chen Ran was closing in, he saw Federer from a distance, and sitting next to him was an unexpected and familiar person - Sampras.

This was his first thought.

"Yes, this is my best chance to prove my strength." Ma Su looked forward to it.

The cooperation between two generations of lawn kings also gave him a headache.

Damn!

Could it be that for his own reasons, Sampras is ready to join Federer's team.

He looked at Chen Ran and gave a thumbs up.

In the distance, Federer seemed to feel Chen Ran's gaze.

"Chen..." Ma Su seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are you Chinese people like us South Americans, you regard the Olympics as more important than our Grand Slams?"

With the US Open and the Olympics so close, at least some of the top players will make choices.

Unless you are unique, if you are close in strength, you are a competitor.

Obviously, Federer has no secret thoughts about Sampras joining his team, and is even eager to let the whole world know.

"Oh my god! What did I see!"

The CCTV reporter who was interviewing at the scene finally discovered this blockbuster news belatedly. "Roger Federer somehow convinced Sampras to come out."

"He is the undisputed GOAT in men's professional tennis!"

"Of course, this also makes it more difficult for Chen Ran to win Wimbledon."

"But we still have to congratulate Chen Ran first. He successfully broke into the quarterfinals of Wimbledon."

Not only reporters from CCTV, but also other Chinese reporters were in shock.

Such strong cooperation is simply incredible.

Sure enough, at the post-game press conference, no one paid attention to Chen Ran's game.

After all, his ability to break into the quarterfinals was basically within the expectations of many people.

"This is a matter between Roger and Pete. Why do you all come to ask me what I think? This is not an issue that I should discuss!"

Chen Ran replied in the face of hundreds of reporters' criticism.

What do you want me to say?
The two of them want to cooperate to achieve their freedom, so what can I say about them?
"I only focus on myself. Their cooperation should be unprecedented. That's all I can say." Chen Ran said simply.

However, an American reporter refused: "Chen, why did Sampras choose Federer instead of Roddick? Do you know the reason?"

"Do you think I know?" Chen Ran looked serious.

In fact, he was really able to guess pretty well, but why should he tell you.

"I think you should know some inside information." The reporter from Beautiful Country wanted to find a big news and seemed reluctant to give up.

"We are not club teammates in team sports, and we have no contact at all in private." Chen Ran retorted unceremoniously, "So how can I know the inside story?"

The American reporter continued to ask: "Sampras is obviously optimistic that Federer will become the new king of grass. Are you unwilling to do so?"

These malicious questions came one after another. As expected, these foreign reporters are good at causing trouble.

I remember that when Chinese reporters interviewed foreign athletes, they all asked questions that had no nutritional value. They were simply too... honest and arrogant.

In other words, these guys only know how to fight inside, but are very cowardly outside.

Chen Ran rubbed his eyebrows, and then joked: "I think you should ask Roddick what he thinks?"

"He... I asked him just now. Andy is obviously in a very bad mood. All his unhappiness is written on his face."

"So you also want to see an unhappy look on my face?" Chen Ran frowned, then immediately relaxed, "It would be a good thing if there were more topics, and I would rather those old guys who retired Everyone can find employment."

"I am very happy that the famous players of the previous generation have come out, from Chang Depei to Sampras. Tennis needs them!"

Suddenly, these foreign reporters who had stirred up trouble looked at each other.

The pattern is indeed different. Is this the number one player in the world?

They wanted to sow discord.

"In addition, what I want to say is..." Chen Ran paused and said slowly, "I have never had the opportunity to play against Pete in my career. This time he comes out as a coach, and I am considered another player with him. It’s a confrontation in a sense.”

Is this considered a challenge?
Many people’s expectations for the future have begun to rise.
