Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 402 The whole "The Sun"

Ticket prices have skyrocketed, and the media is hyping it.

Many London spectators still vividly remember last year's classic five-set match.

It was so soul-stirring that it remains fresh in my memory.

Looking back at Roddick's Wimbledon championship last year, he went 3-1 in the semi-finals and 3-0 in the final. Only this quarter-final match with Chen Ran was brutal and anxious, and is also known as the "Century Wimbledon". One of the most classic battles in history.

A year later, the two sides met again after the semifinals.

At this moment, the status of the two people has changed dramatically compared to the same period last year.

At that time, Roddick was still a rising star in the tennis world, and Chen Ran had just won the French Open, but in the eyes of the outside world, he was just a super lucky newcomer.

At this moment, Chen Ran has won three Grand Slams and is firmly ranked first in the world, while Roddick is also the defending champion of Wimbledon, and the world ranking has been hovering between second and third.

This is definitely a match between Mars and Earth.

The British media is looking forward to finding some breaking news from Chen Ran.

……

Although he has always been at the center of public opinion, and there are British paparazzi coming and going outside the hotel from time to time, Chen Ran takes it all in stride.

In their words, after all, the United States is their friend (father), and Chen Ran is the devil from the east, so of course they chose to forgive Roddick.

Fortunately, I am not a football player, and I am not a football player playing in the UK, so I have very few opportunities for the British media.

On the other side, Chen Ran lives in seclusion and is very low-key during his days off.

He knows the virtues of the British media very well.

After all, Roddick doesn't have much respect for British tennis players. His disdain for British tennis star Henman last year is still fresh in his mind.

"Should we support Roddick?"

To be precise, the virtues of the Hong Kong media who learned from the British media are obvious to everyone, so the British media, as their teachers, will only get worse.

"This is the biggest reason why we support you."

An upright American player, very straightforward, sometimes even too lazy to pretend.

Not long ago, Beckham's extramarital scandal became a global sensation, and the British media played a role in fueling the flames.

The British media, which always likes to be lively, started to exaggerate the atmosphere before the game started and called on the London audience to cheer for Roddick.

"Andy, you're the defending Wimbledon champion."

This also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the London audience to watch the game.

However, many British media decided to support Roddick after intense discussions.

In this wave of scandals, Beckham's scandal targets and the British media can be said to be the biggest winners. They have received huge rewards in terms of financial benefits and attention.

"I hope you can defeat Chen Ran and reach the finals."

Ticket sales are no less popular than the Premier League derby between Manchester United and Liverpool.

The British media raised such questions.

Not only can they hype it up themselves, but they can also sell it to Chinese media and make a lot of money.

It's a pity that these British media have been squatting outside the hotel like dogs for several days and haven't found any clues.

There was no expected glamorous woman entering or exiting the hotel, and there was no mysterious woman whose whereabouts were suspicious.

In short, Chen Ran did not give these British media any chance to create news.

In fact, from Chen Ran's perspective, since he and Alijie have agreed to keep their relationship a secret, the latter will not take the initiative to fly to London, England.

French celebrities also have a very deep understanding of the British media and know what these paparazzi are.

Their rendezvous would be most wisely placed on the island of Corsica, where it would not be discovered by anyone.

……

While Chen Ran was preparing for the semi-finals, Wimbledon received another piece of big news.

The popular Russian beauty Sharapova reversed the American star Davenport 2-1 and reached the Grand Slam final for the first time in her career. At this moment, she is only seventeen years old.

This game also shocked the entire world of tennis.

The WTA is about to welcome one of its brightest stars.

In the women's singles final, Sharapova will face Serena Williams, who has won two consecutive Wimbledon titles.

At this moment, the whole world thinks that the Russian beauty's good luck has come to an end. It is obvious that she cannot stop Serena Williams from winning three consecutive championships.

Chen Ran is the only one who knows the final result of the game. If this final will still follow the trajectory of the previous life.

Sharapova is indeed Serena Williams's maid, but she broke out in the first Grand Slam final of her career and defeated Serena Williams.

This is the charm of competitive sports.

Sometimes, male and female servants would kill their masters.

Another men's singles semifinal is between Federer and French star Grosjean.

But the tickets for this game were not so popular, and even the ticket price was far from comparable to Chen Ran's game.

Although Federer has a certain box-office appeal, the discerning London audience believes that the Frenchman is simply a delivery boy and cannot stop Federer's progress. It is even difficult to win a set.

The same is true.

After the two women's singles semifinals, this men's singles semifinal was staged first.

Federer easily swept Grosjean with three 6-3 matches, locking a spot in the final.

too strong!
All aspects of technology have been perfected to the extreme!

Elegant and sharp, this is the art of tennis displayed by Federer.

Throughout the game, Federer's coach Sampras just clapped his hands expressionlessly, as if this game could not cause any waves for him.

The real challenge only comes in the finals.

Even with the powerful combination of these two grass kings, the grass game seems to be without any suspense.

After this game, the focus battle between Chen Ran and Roddick came on stage.

As the last of the four men's and women's singles semi-finals, it is also the one that attracts the most attention and has the highest ticket prices.

Not only was the All England Club stadium packed, but the square outside the stadium was also packed with people.

The nearby bars and shops were crowded, and the TV sets hanging above were all showing the game.

Chen Ran, who had been thinking a lot and was well prepared, slowly walked towards the court.

He looked around, enjoying the atmosphere of a Grand Slam semifinal.

Hundreds of media from all over the world surrounded me and kept clicking the shutter.

This feeling of being watched by everyone is something that only games above the semi-finals of a Grand Slam have this kind of appeal.

But when Chen Ran looked around the stadium, he discovered a strange scene.

Wherever he could see, there were several gorgeous girls singing and dancing.

Their position was right in front of Chen Ran's serving and receiving positions.

This……

“Can they afford the fare in this position?”

This was Chen Ran's first reaction.

Why, they have The Sun logo on their clothes.

Damn it, this gossip paper is starting to get in trouble again.
