Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 418 The next goal is the Golden Slam!
The next Hingis?

It's hard to find similar examples among male players, so I looked for them among female players.

The British media is really at odds with me, and there will be no end to it, right?

In the hotel room, Chen Ran put down the English newspaper in his hand and murmured.

This at least proves that he is really popular, even though he enjoys huge popularity around the world.

After all, who can be targeted by the British media and is not a world superstar?

Like domestic idol stars, even if they come to London to run naked, the British media probably won’t take a serious look at them and think they are exhibitionists.

But Chen Ran felt a little overwhelmed when he thought that the all-pervasive Hong Kong paparazzi were all trained by those British media.

But then he thought that he would have the opportunity to slap the British media in the face again and again in the future, and found it very interesting.

In fact, Hingis will come back and retire several times in the next few years, but such repetitions have already exhausted her popularity. In addition, her competitive state is getting worse and worse, and her sense of existence is getting lower and lower. Then they were surpassed by those rising golden flowers.

"Hehe... The British media did one thing very well. The example they cited of Hingis alerted me so that I wouldn't be careless."

In addition, like this time when he defeated Federer in the Wimbledon final, Chen Ran's potential value has been reduced compared to before.

Physical attributes: 93.

From now on, let the powerful British media inspire you. This should be a very good tool.

Mental attributes: 93;

Suddenly, the sound of a phone call brought Chen Ran's thoughts back to reality.

It's just that the system prompts that even if Chen Ran has obtained the potential value of each attribute, it is almost difficult to continue to improve from the "simulation training ground".

After all, Chen Ran is a human being, not a robot.

In a daze, he suddenly realized that even if he achieved a Grand Slam, he could never relax at all.

This means that in the future, we must continue to improve through continuous training and competition in the real world.

"It was an unexpected assist."

This is a must-have for a person with a mental age of over 30 years old.

Then, Chen Ran silently opened the properties panel and observed the current property values ​​of various items.

If you don't train and compete for a long time, when your body is full of unfamiliarity, the values ​​of various attributes will naturally decline. This is no different from other athletes.

Chen Ran suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

Of course, with Hingis' achievements, it is certain that he will enter the Tennis Hall of Fame, and he will definitely leave a mark in the history of professional tennis in the future.

Chen Ran could basically accept this result happily.

After all, when one's own attribute values ​​are getting higher and higher, it is extremely difficult to maintain the original competitive level, let alone improve it.

Technical attributes: 95;

This bitch had such a weird temper that she retired at every turn, got married and divorced more than once, and eventually committed suicide.

His current comprehensive ability value is very close to the peak of the Big Three.

He thought as he answered the phone.

The caller was from Chen Ran's agency.

"Chen Ran, aren't you really going to go back to China to rest for a while? Many people are looking forward to celebrating your return!"

Indeed, in the view of IMG, its players have completed a brilliant Grand Slam achievement, which should be celebrated with great fanfare. By the way, Chen Ran's personal influence and business value have been pushed to a whole new level.

Today's China's economy is in a period of rapid take-off, and those same companies are also expanding rapidly.

They are queuing up with a large number of endorsement contracts, waiting for Chen Ran's nod and signature.

In fact, during the half-year period from the end of the Australian Open to Wimbledon, Chen Ran was always very cautious and careful when selecting endorsement contracts based on the idea of ​​​​striving for excellence.

Therefore, within the past six months, the number of new endorsement contracts he has added is not as high as that of Zheng Jie, the first sister of the women's network.

With a Masters runner-up and a Grand Slam semi-final, the latter has become the first sister of Chinese female athletes, at least in terms of commercial value.

After all, compared to the fiercely competitive men's sports, tennis has obvious advantages in women's sports. As long as you achieve some good results in the WTA, you can leave other female athletes far behind, even if the opponent is an Olympic champion.

From Chen Ran's perspective, he was also happy to see this happen.

If he takes advantage of the momentum of this Grand Slam to return to China, he will surely have countless commercial contracts and income from various activities.

But even so, Chen Ran still declined the proposal with great certainty.

"No, I'd better continue to stay abroad for a while."

After thinking about it, he gave his own reason: "Although I won Wimbledon, I feel that my body is still in competition condition and has not yet escaped. Grand Slam syndrome does not exist for me now. You should know why."

"If I return to China, this game state may be disrupted, which is not a good thing."

"For me, winning Wimbledon doesn't mean the holiday is over."

The agent also understood what Chen Ran meant. He did not want his preparation for the Olympics to be disrupted by the celebration banquet when he returned home.

After the Grand Slam, comes the Golden Slam.

The Olympic tennis competition is actually a bit complicated for many tennis players.

In the current Olympic tennis competition, the singles champion is awarded 800 points, while the runner-up is awarded 480 points.

In the subconscious mind of many fans, tennis does not attach importance to the Olympics, but regards the four Grand Slams as the highest honor.

But there is actually a deeper reason here.

First of all, there is no prize money in Olympic competitions, and then there are very few points awarded.

For many first-class players, there is no bonus and no points. If they cannot reach a deeper level, such as the finals, or at least the semi-finals, the Olympic trip is meaningless, and it may even seriously affect their own tour. The gain outweighs the loss.

After all, the competition in professional tennis is too fierce, and there are only 64 lottery spots in the Olympic Games, which can be described as extremely cruel.

As long as you are not careful, the top 10 players may stop in the first round.

But for those top players, they attach great importance to the Olympics and are eager to enter the finals and even win the gold medal to add to their honor book.

This is why the Big Three attach so much importance to the Olympic Games and adjust their game plans to prepare for it with all their strength.

The glory of the "Golden Slam" is really too tempting.

However, among the Big Three, only Nadal finally achieved this achievement.

In 2008, Nadal first won Wimbledon and then the Yanjing Olympics, and then dethroned Federer, who had been ranked No. in the world for four years.

This time, Chen Ran hopes to achieve this goal four years ahead of schedule.
