Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 556: Two Golden Flowers Fighting Because of That Man (4K)

"In broad daylight, is this something we can watch for free?"

"The foreign girl is really direct. She kissed me in front of so many people."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Ran had no choice but to drag Ivanovich to a blind spot where he could not be seen.

Damn it, you didn’t pay, so why can you see such erotic scenes?

Actually...if this court can be closed on all sides, it is not impossible to play a game of tennis on this court. It's exciting just thinking about it.

But it is definitely impossible now.

After satisfying his verbal desire with Ivanovic, Chen Ran started practicing ball.

At this time, there were more and more fans watching outside and reporters coming to take pictures.

After all, this was Chen Ran’s first public training in China after winning three consecutive Australian Open titles, and it attracted a lot of attention, not to mention that he had just made his relationship public.

This attracted many fans, whose minds were full of gossip, to come and watch.

In a short while, the training ground was packed with people and it was very lively.

……

At about the same time, Jin Man Guan Company launched three web games that it had previously developed, all on the QQ Space platform.

In fact, it doesn’t cost much and requires little effort to make a web game. Web games have already been developed and you just need to wait for the right time to release it.

So, the company took advantage of the popularity of Chen Ran’s announcement of his relationship and launched these web games.

Whether it is "QQ Stealing Vegetables", "Plants vs. Zombies", or "QQ Blue Moon", they have all caused quite a stir on the Internet.

Especially "QQ Stealing Vegetables", which has made countless white-collar workers addicted.

Some people even set alarms and get up in the middle of the night to steal other people's vegetables.

As the boss, Chen Ran also set an example by opening a "stealing vegetables" account, but he didn't care whether anyone would steal his money.
However, when he woke up the next day, he discovered that the person who stole his vegetables most frequently was his girlfriend Ivanovich.

Although there is currently no English version of "QQ Stealing Vegetables", and Ivanovich's Chinese is still very average, this girl has shown an unprecedented enthusiasm for stealing vegetables with the help of translation software, and she is eyeing Chen Ran's vegetable world to poach his players.

For the rest of the days, both sides stayed in Shanghai for training and attended some business events together before flying to the Middle East to start a new journey.

However, the couple in love have to temporarily part ways.

Chen Ran will go to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the Dubai ATP500 tournament, while Ivanovic will go to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to participate in the WTA500 tournament, and then the WTA1000 tournament in Doha, Qatar.

According to the agreement, after participating in the Dubai 500, Chen Ran will go to Doha, Qatar to cheer for his girlfriend, and then the two will go to the United States together to participate in the Sunshine Double.

However, this time, Chen Ran's winning streak was finally ended at the Dubai 500.

In the final, he lost to Nadal 1-2, and the latter also won the championship for the first time.

Federer missed this year's tournament due to injury.

Djokovic's performance was somewhat unstable, while Nadal also showed strong competitiveness on other types of courts besides clay.

The Spanish boy wants to prove to the world that he is not only suitable for playing on clay.

"Hey, I noticed that in this final, Chen Ran's running was obviously not as good as Nadal's."

"Especially in the third set, Chen Ran could hardly run anymore."

"Obviously, his performance has not been as good since he got a girlfriend."

"I understand... Hehe, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to run."

"You still can't run? If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed and would just stay in bed."

After a group of LSPs talked about women instead of tennis, they started to dance with joy and excitement.

Some media also lamented that they were indeed a couple in love.

You see, Chen Ran just lost the final of the Dubai tournament, but without even thinking about summing up, he immediately rushed to Doha, Qatar, to cheer for his girlfriend.

8 Grand Slams, 125 weeks ranked world number one.

Chen Ran really has no desires or requests at the moment.

Ahead of him were the ancient Swedish tennis star Borg's 11 Grand Slams, and then Sampras' 14 Grand Slams.

Chen Ran ranked third.

As for the number of weeks as world number one, Sampras has 286 weeks, the ancient Czech player Lendl has 270 weeks, the ancient American player Connors has 268 weeks, then the American star McEnroe has 170 weeks, and then Chen Ran has 125 weeks, ranking fifth.

In fact, the media and fans would not compare Chen Ran with those players from ancient times, because it doesn’t make much sense at all.

Their only comparison is Sampras.

Therefore, the only person Chen Ran needs to catch up with now is Sampras.

For Chen Ran, who was less than 20 years old, this did not seem difficult and seemed to be a sure thing.

Having lost the sense of urgency and being the only one standing out, Chen Ran might have lost his passion for the game.

But should he try to hit the annual Grand Slam?
In fact, what challenges players the most in the annual Grand Slam is not their skills, but their will and physical fitness.

If you slack off even for a moment, you may lose the championship.

Also, will Chen Ran participate in this year's Wimbledon?

After all, he had a conflict with the British organizing committee.

With a huge lead in points and huge wealth, Chen Ran really doesn't have to worry about Wimbledon.

However, when Chen Ran was interviewed in Doha, Qatar, he said that as long as he was not injured, he would still participate in Wimbledon.

He still wants to compete for the title of King of Grass.

But this guy also said that he cannot guarantee to participate in Wimbledon every year, and he will decide based on his physical condition each year.

This made the Wimbledon organizing committee angry, but they were helpless.

So whether you want to participate or not depends entirely on your mood, right?

Damn, we really want to ban you.

However, the organizing committees of the four Grand Slam tournaments are used to being arrogant. They have stipulated that whether players participate is completely voluntary and not mandatory.

Because none of them expected that there would be players boycotting, they really had no way of expressing their grievances.

After all, Grand Slam tournaments are different from mandatory Masters tournaments.

While in Doha, Chen Ran was also quietly observing the stadium.

This year's Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, will also be held in this stadium.

After all, it is an agreement between us and the national team. Although the level of this competition is a bit lower, it still has to come.

The weather in the Middle East is very hot, but fortunately it is the end of February now and the Asian Games are in November, so the weather is generally cool and will not affect the players' competition.

On the court, Ivanovic, with the nourishment of love, is in much better condition.

In the previous Abu Dhabi 500 tournament, she reached the final but lost to Serena Williams. This time, Ivanovic also reached the semi-finals of the Doha 1000 tournament.

After this Middle East season, her world ranking also rose from ninth to eighth.

After all, at her current position, the only way to continue to improve her ranking is to reach the semifinals or even the finals in a major competition.

However, what made Chen Ran speechless was that Ivanovic's opponent in the Doha 1000 tournament semi-finals was none other than Sharapova, whom Chen Ran was very familiar with.

The two Eastern European girls, both born in 1987, engaged in a fierce battle in this semi-final, and it can be said that sparks flew.

This matchup also attracted the attention of many Chinese fans.

In the words of some veteran internet users, these two girls are “people of the same group,” which is a synonym for “people of the same interests.”

People of the same kind can understand it, for example, Mr. Chen and Nicholas Tse are “people of the same kind”.

Therefore, the Chinese netizens, who are omnipotent and imaginative, invented the imitation idiom "tonggunzhongren".

Soon, this "comrade in arms" became a hot word on the Internet because of Chen Ran, Sharapova and Ivanovic.

Chen Ran was also speechless after learning this nickname.

Damn, what's in these guys' heads?
When it comes to being cool, Chinese netizens are the most cool.

After all, Chinese is so profound.

However, Chen Ran discovered that in this semi-final, Sharapova played with great enthusiasm, almost to the point of being bloodthirsty, especially when she shouted while hitting the ball, which resounded throughout the stadium. She almost used up all her strength, and seemed to be pouring it out towards her opponent, Ivanovic.

After all, in the previous life, one had one Grand Slam and the other had five Grand Slams, so there was indeed a gap in talent.

Although the Serbian girl also wants to try her best to defeat her opponent.

At one point in the match, the fans thought the two tennis goddesses were competing to see who could roar louder.

However, in terms of strength, Ivanovic is still slightly inferior to Sharapova.

The two sides fought with sparks flying, but in the end Sharapova was more skilled and defeated Ivanovic 2-1 to advance to the final.

As for the men in white headscarves at the scene, they shook their heads when they saw these two beautiful and delicate women making such earth-shaking noises when playing the ball.

This is horrible. The woman in the headscarf is still gentler.

Generally speaking, after a WTA match, the female players on both sides will not only shake hands, but also hug each other.

If the two girls have a good relationship, they will even touch each other's faces.

However, this time, Sharapova and Ivanovic simply clapped their hands and walked away without looking back.

Are both young ladies so free and easy?
Of course, everyone knows where the problem lies.

That’s a hot guy, the world’s number one Chen Ran.

The instigator is now sitting in the audience.

The match director is obviously also someone who knows how to stir things up.

During the match between Ivanovic and Sharapova, the camera frequently captured Chen Ran.

However, the latter had a blank expression on his face throughout the game, his brows were furrowed, and his hands were clasped together at his lips, as if he was very worried about the situation on the court.

This picture was immediately uploaded to the Internet by reporters and spread around the world in an instant.

Is this the charm of being the world's number one?
The following scenes made everyone's blood boil.

Ivanovic, who lost the game, was obviously very depressed. She did not go back to the locker room, but went straight to the stands, found Chen Ran, and threw herself into his arms.

The Serbian goddess burst into tears in Chen Ran's arms, and I felt so sorry for her.

Maybe she wanted to win the game too much, especially to defeat the other party's rumored ex-girlfriend in front of her boyfriend.

After losing the game, she was naturally extremely depressed.

This scene also made the camera focus on the couple.

The fans around started to make a noise and even took out cameras.

It seems that gossip is a common trait among all human beings.

Aren't these white turbans very conservative? Why are they all so gossipy with their lewd smiles?
Sharapova, who was supposed to be interviewed as the winner, looked very unhappy after seeing this scene.

"Ivanovic performed very well today, and he must have performed above his level. Me? I just performed normally, but I am still the winner!"

The Russian beauty said this very bluntly, not giving in at all.

She was so angry.

Especially since these two guys were showing affection in front of her, it made her even more crazy.

"Ivanovic's strength is pretty good, but she will have to work harder if she wants to beat me. I don't think she can surpass me," Sharapova emphasized.

I have won Grand Slams and 1000 tournament titles, but your best so far is just a Grand Slam semi-final and a 500 tournament title.

The host is obviously also good at making trouble.

"If Ivanovic gets personal guidance from her world number one boyfriend, she may surpass you. After all, Chen Ran's strength is far ahead in men's tennis."

Sharapova replied decisively: "Oh, then I look forward to seeing if she can have a chance to beat me under the training of her boyfriend."

For the gossipy Chinese media, this match actually attracted more attention than another match involving Zheng Jie.

A group of people had excitement and joy in their eyes as they described vividly everything that happened today.

"Is this considered two women fighting for a husband?"

In order to attract clicks from netizens, some Chinese portals deliberately use such an eye-catching title.

"I'm so envious. How could Chen Ran be so worthy of this title!"

"Two WTA goddesses have both been with him... ahhh, I'm so jealous!"

"A real man should be like Chen Ran, a man of pride, that licking dog should crawl to me!"

A group of netizens were so excited on the Internet that they were howling and wailing, and there was also no shortage of praise.

How about the Chinese Internet? Baidu has just launched Tieba and made it very popular through reasonable operation.

As a result, countless netizens began to display their talents in major forums.

"Repost this picture of Chen Ran, and in the future there will be two beautiful women vying for your favor!"

The photo was obviously photoshopped by netizens: Chen Ran stood in the center, and he hugged Sharapova and Ivanovic on his left and right, with a "Dragon King-like" smile on his face.

"There is such a good thing? I will definitely transfer it to you as you said."

"What man doesn't want to hug left and right? I turned too."

All of a sudden, this photo of Chen Ran was everywhere on the Internet, almost as important as the emoticon package of Yao Ming in later generations.
