Chapter 480 Outshines others
At this moment, Chen Ran didn't know that his actions that he unintentionally took for granted had caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry, and he didn't even realize that he had been quietly ostracized and hated by those guys. .

"In the second set, the two sides fought to a tie-break. Federer led 6-5 and reached the match point first. Then Chen Ran tenaciously defended his two service points and then faced off against his opponent in front of the net. "The final set was another suspenseful and thrilling matchup.

Chen Ran has already won the Miami Masters twice. If he wins again this year, it will be his third consecutive championship.

He will also create an unprecedented record and become the only player to win back-to-back "Sunshine Doubles" so far.

Soon, CCTV also interviewed Chen Ran, who was far away across the ocean, and also talked about this issue.

"In the next Miami Masters, is your goal to win three consecutive championships?"

At this moment, the high-spirited Chen Ran also gave a decisive reply.

"Yeah, that's my goal."

"Miami has won three consecutive championships and completed the 'Sunshine Double' twice. I am full of desire for such a record."

The CCTV host joked: "Although China's tennis strength is far less powerful than table tennis, for you personally, it is indeed about to turn tennis into table tennis."
