Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 415 We must stop the devil from the east to win the championship!

After leading by one set, Chen Ran looked up at the audience as if he was walking towards the rest area.

He didn't care at all how many celebrities came to this game. What he focused on was the face of Sampras, the former king of grass, who looked uncertain.

In a sense, since he accepted Federer's invitation to come out, the two have become a pair of shared interests.

The former King of Grassland, his disciples must be the new generation of King of Grassland, otherwise this cooperation will be a failure.

From a distance, Sampras also saw Chen Ran glance at him intentionally.

This Chinese guy is really good at provocation.

I especially remember that last year, Chen Ran asked himself, hoping he could make a comeback at the French Open.

As a result, Chen Ran won the French Open championship that year.

It seemed that this kid was upset that he had not been able to defeat him in his career, and had no good intentions at all.

Sampras was very sure that the first set was definitely not Federer's true level.

"Roger will definitely become the new king of grass."

The air is almost stagnant.

……

In the final critical point, Federer pushed his body forward with a sliding step, whipped his forehand quickly, and relied on the strength of his wrist to draw a small arc to open up the angle.

In the regular round, the two sides obviously cannot tell the winner.

The audience's emotions also continued to climax.

Sampras feels that the Chinese athletes in his impression are all honest.

"I hope Roger will adjust to his condition as soon as possible."

"The second set will be crucial."

The entire audience held their breath, their eyes following the tennis ball as it swayed back and forth.

After the start of the second set, Federer, who was already facing an extremely passive situation, finally began to let go of his ambitions and showed the level of a giant-level player.

If Federer was like this, he wouldn't choose to coach.

"I believe in my own vision!"

For example, Yao Ming, who plays in the United States, is known to everyone as humorous, but he is also an honest person.

The score rose alternately and finally reached a 5-5 tie.

The confrontation between the two sides was very exciting and fierce.

One left, one right, one back and forth.

Then Federer won another service game and now entered Chen Ran's sixth service game that he had to protect.

In contrast, Chen Ran is really bad.

Competition has entered a fierce stage.

This shot abruptly tore a gap through Chen Ran's airtight net block, broke through his forehand interception, and broke through the front of the racket.

Break the net and score.

Wow!
This ball fulfilled both the break point and the set point.

The applause poured down like a torrential rain, and the entire center court fell into madness.

"Twenty-one shots!"

"This confrontation lasted for twenty-one shots. In the end, Federer broke serve with a small forehand cross through the net!"

This is a grass court where the ball speed is extremely fast, not a clay court where the ball speed is slower. A confrontation that lasts for 21 shots is very rare.

With this goal, the atmosphere was so tense that the audience was suffocated.

"God!"

"Roger finally reversed the disadvantage. At least in the second set he took the initiative."

"There are no words to describe what a wonderful goal this was."

Facing the break point, Chen Ran showed outstanding courage and tenacity, making incredible saves one after another, but in the end it was Federer who was very lucky to cash in on the break point and win the second set.

"This is the round with the most shots in the second set so far. To break serve and win the set point in such an amazing and wonderful way, is there any more perfect result than this?"

"Roger has ignited the atmosphere in the room!"

"Of course Chen Ran's performance was also very good. A great showdown requires the efforts of both sides."

"Even if I am a fan of Roger, I will give Chen Ran a round of applause."

The host at the scene kept talking excitedly.

In the audience, Sampras was also nervous.

He clenched his fists and roared loudly while standing up. When the game returned to the same starting line, Sampras could finally let go of his hanging heart.

Winning the second set with a wonderful ball now means that the new king of grass is about to ascend the throne?

He was sure of it.

But soon, Sampras saw something incredible.

Although Chen Ran was broken, he still clapped his hands at Federer from a distance and raised his thumb.

Like the audience at the scene, he was also praising the goal just now.

This is actually very common in tennis matches.

After all, in this sport, players are required to maintain grace at all times.

But Chen Ran is so young, and in such an important game, he can still applaud his opponents. This magnanimity and psychological quality are so strong.

Vaguely, Sampras had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This must be an illusion!"

"Roger will definitely win this game."

"The situation in the game has clearly tilted towards Roger."

……

Most of the spectators at Center Court were cheering for Federer, except for a few Chinese spectators.

"Chen, as long as you lose this final, I will be your fan from now on and will always support you."

"Yes, me too!"

Soon, a group of British guys were laughing.

Even children may not believe this.

"Forget it, I don't care who you support!"

Chen Ran also shouted back and walked onto the court with his racket in hand.

It was a pity to lose the second set. Naturally, he had some regrets, but he did not look discouraged at all.

The past is over, there is no need to dwell on it or worry about it.

In the "simulation training ground", this kind of regretful defeat has happened countless times, and Chen Ran has already developed immunity.

As long as the game isn't lost, it's not a big deal.

One good thing about tennis is that no matter how tight or disparate the score is in a certain set, he cannot carry it into the next set.

The next game is a new beginning.

This is not like a football or basketball game, where you are slow to get into the game at the beginning. If the opponent is far ahead, you have to fill the gap.

In the third set, Chen Ran immediately regained his concentration and quickly entered the state. Then he showed top control in his serve game and was impregnable.

What left the audience speechless was that Chen Ran actually gave Federer two "love games" in his first two service games!
He scored eight points in a row without allowing the opponent to score a single point.

In comparison, Federer's hold on serve seems a bit difficult.

There were even 2-2 draws several times.

This made many people begin to suspect that Federer's break in the second set was just a fumble by Tiger.

Of course, for a long and difficult tennis match, it is normal for players to have ups and downs and tactical arrangements to change at any time.

"This set, if there is no tie-break, is obviously the best."

Chen Ran muttered.

He actually wanted to break Federer's serve again so that he could put more pressure on his opponent.

Although Chen Ran does not have a coach, he knows Federer very well and has made a lot of preparations before the game.

In this set, Chen Ran tried imaginative and different techniques from the moment he received the serve. He tried very boldly and always caught the opponent off guard.

In the eighth game, Chen Ran succeeded.

When the two sides were tied at 40, Chen Ran scored 2 points in a row with a strong attitude and completed a crucial break.

In tennis, you must remember one thing. When you are repeatedly forced to reach 40 in your own service game, it will be a matter of time before you are broken.

"Damn it!"

"Is this devil from the East going to win the championship?"

"Roger, go and stop him!"

shouted Federer's British fans.
