Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 417 The next Hewitt to the next Hingis?

Who is the new generation’s true king of grass?

Chen Ran gave the answer with practical actions!

He won the Wimbledon final much more easily than the Australian Open final.

It can even be said that among the four Grand Slams won by Chen Ran, Wimbledon was the most powerful and straightforward.

Chen Ran showed his unparalleled dominance to the world of tennis.

At the age of 18, he has already achieved a Grand Slam!
The achievement of winning four Grand Slams and achieving a Grand Slam is brilliant enough in the history of professional tennis.

More importantly, Chen Ran won three of his championships by defeating Federer.

So far, Chen Ran and Federer have won all three meetings in Grand Slam finals.

Even the host, who is a Federer fan, lamented helplessly: As long as Roger cannot defeat Chen Ran in a Grand Slam final, the title of the number one manservant will be confirmed.

Who was the last person to be so dominant at a similar age? There is no similar figure in men's tennis, but in women's tennis there is Hingis, a talented girl from Switzerland like Federer.

Hingis won her first Grand Slam at the age of sixteen, and had five Grand Slams by the time she was eighteen.

But compared to the Australian Open final, his mood seemed not that bad.

Then he walked to the front of the crowd of Chinese fans, held the five-star red flag and took photos with everyone.

On three types of courts: hard courts, clay courts, and grass courts, Chen Ran has already completed his victory over Federer.

Because in that Australian Open final, Federer lost just one step away from the championship, and this game was a complete defeat.

"Chen, I have to congratulate you...your performance was so perfect." The Swiss still maintained his elegant demeanor, after all, this has become his signature.

But now the world's No. 1 vs. the World's No. 2 are showing a complete crushing potential.

No wonder Chen Ran didn't pay attention at all when he invited Sampras to come out.

Chen Ran seems to be right. In competitive sports, one plus one may not equal two.

Sampras's serving and hitting style is actually of little use to him.

It felt bad to lose, and of course he was frustrated.

The cooperation between them seems to be a little more gimmicky.

On the other side, Chen Ran clapped his hands and walked around the court after shaking hands with Federer and the referee respectively.

Chen Ran's achievements remind people of the Swiss girl who once shocked the tennis world.

Like the former world number one Sampras and the world number two Agassi, they at least have wins and losses with each other, and the strength gap is very close.

Federer is very clear that his top priority now is not to savor the bitter consequences of this game, but to seriously consider the cooperation between himself and Sampras.

After the game, Federer first covered his forehead, took off the hair tie on his head, and stood there in a daze for a while.

So he felt better.

I finally won this damn Wimbledon.

Remember this special moment.

Immediately afterwards, the Sky Sports host interviewed Federer and Chen Ran successively with mixed emotions.

Chen Ran also glanced meaningfully at the British guy. He always felt that this guy looked at Federer in a weird way. He was just being arrogant and he was worthy of being from a corrupt country.

So when this guy was interviewing Chen Ran, Chen Ran deliberately took a few steps back and kept his distance.

"Chen, tell me how it feels when you win the championship?"

Chen Ran paused and said slowly: "I'm happy to win the championship, but I feel a little sad."

"Why do you say that?" The host looked confused.

Chen Ran shrugged and said: "You know... I mentioned this before Wimbledon started. I feel heartbroken when I think about the tax that will deduct more than half of the winning prize."

Withdraw money again!
You kid is giving eye drops to the Wimbledon organizing committee again.

Even if it's true, there's no need for you to talk nonsense.

"Chen, you are so funny..." The host was speechless and could only say this.

He wiped his forehead, calmed down and continued: "At Wimbledon, you incredibly achieved the Grand Slam achievement. This is the second person among active players. Of course, in the entire history of professional tennis, you have achieved the Grand Slam." Very few achieve this.”

"Not even Sampras has reached that."

Sure enough, the expression on Sampras's face suddenly darkened in the stands.

It is an eternal regret in his heart that he has never been able to win the French Open.

This damn British guy, in order to find a topic, he deliberately used Chen Ran to suppress himself.

At this moment, Chen Ran finally showed his joy: "Yes, I finally achieved a Grand Slam, especially after winning Wimbledon, I should be able to relax a little bit in the future."

"Why do you say that?" The Sky Sports host looked puzzled. It stands to reason that after Chen Ran won this Wimbledon championship so strongly, his goal should be to become the new king of grass, so he must chase more championships like Sampras.

So it should be said that the pressure is still there, how can it be said that it is easier.

Only Chen Ran's voice continued to be heard.

"You know, I prefer playing on clay courts."

“I love red clay and enjoy red clay.”

"Turf is my worst game, and the result... you saw it."

When being interviewed by the live host, Chen Ran said something shocking that made the other party instantly petrified.

"You actually told me that you prefer clay courts to grass courts?"

"What did you think when you said this in the Wimbledon championship interview?"

"Also, you said that grass is the game you are least good at, but you ended up crushing all the way to win the championship!"

This wave of pretense made him feel embarrassed to give it a nine.

"There are only tennis players in the world who hate clay courts, and I have never heard of a tennis player who hates grass." The host said with a dark face and touched his forehead, "I always thought I was very humorous, but I didn't expect you to be more humorous than me. "

In the world of tennis, who doesn't know that many tennis players hate clay and love grass? After all, who can resist the temptation of playing on grass?

If it weren't for the fact that the maintenance costs of grass are very high, making ends meet, the number of grass tournaments would not be so small.

He didn't believe Chen Ran's lies at all.

Is this intentional to embarrass the Wimbledon organizing committee?

"Maybe I'm special, different from most tennis players."

Chen Ran replied decisively, with a bit of frivolity.

If these words were put in other people's mouths, they would definitely be spurned.

What are you pretending to be? Who do you think you are, something special?

But in competitive sports, strength speaks for itself.

Especially in individual sports, whether you win or lose, you can't find any reason such as "your teammates are too good".

This is a real achievement.

I'm just giving the Wimbledon organizing committee some eye drops, how can you still cancel this championship?

……

When the curtain came down at Wimbledon in 2004, Chen Ran once again consolidated his ranking as the world's number one.

No one can compete with the glory of the four Grand Slams, and the scenery is endless.

However, the British media, which has always been cautious, began to take action again. After all, the interview after Chen Ran won the championship made them very dissatisfied.

"Eighteen-year-old Chen Ran has won four Grand Slams. Isn't this an amazing achievement?"

"Don't forget that Hingis already has five Grand Slams at this age!"

When no one in the men's tennis world could suppress him at this age, the British media decisively used Spring and Autumn style to no longer limit gender to men, and used the former Swiss genius girl as a comparison to prove that Chen Ran was not unique.

Unknowingly, Chen Ran once again received the same treatment as Deyo in his previous life.

When no one in the men's tennis world could suppress Djokovic, the critical Western media pulled out Graf, Serena Williams and other female players to prove that Djokovic was not a goat.

But if Sampras or Federer ranks first in the number of Grand Slams, the Western media will habitually ignore this.

In addition, the British media has a very vicious mouth.

"Do you still remember where Hingis is now?"

"She has retired and retired!"

The Swiss prodigy won five Grand Slams at the age of eighteen.

But after she turned eighteen, her condition quickly declined, never to be the same again, and she gradually faded out of the public eye.

The meteor was bright enough, but also very short-lived.

So will Chen Ran make the same mistake as Hingis in the future?

British media think this possibility is not small.

However, the sunspots obviously did not realize this. Their own standards are constantly improving, gradually changing from the next "Hewitt" to the next "Hingis".
