Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 557 Honey, I'll give you this Porsche

After the WTA1000 tournament in Doha, Qatar came to an end, Sharapova, who fought with infinite fighting spirit, finally won the championship.

However, Sharapova's Siberian farmer father began to bring her hatred again.

"Did you see that Chinese brat?"

“My daughter is the best!”

"You will definitely regret it!"

"Come here quickly and apologize to my daughter while crying!"

The guy was so excited that he even started dancing.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the arrogant attitude he had taken when he made those bold remarks.

It seems like it is a great blessing that his daughter chooses to be with him.

"Dad, please say less!" Sharapova covered her forehead, helpless.

After all, when she was very young, her father brought her to the United States alone and worked two jobs at the same time.

So even if Sharapova knew that her father was wrong, she should not blame him too much.

"He is really a vulgar and barbaric Siberian bumpkin!" Some reporters could not stand it any longer. "If it weren't for his daughter's fight, this old man would only be fit to grow potatoes in Siberia."

However, even though these reporters complained in their hearts, they were still very grateful to this Siberian country bumpkin for constantly making news.

Sharapova's father, Djokovic's father, and Nadal's uncle are collectively known as the three most bizarre families in today's professional tennis.

It has brought a lot of topics to this lonely sport.

For example, the emotional dispute between Chen Ran and Sharapova also gradually affected the Qidian Chinese website in which he invested.

It's not just tennis. In many sports-themed novels, authors like to use Sharapova as the heroine.

The question for readers is, how to deal with Sharapova's Siberian farmer father? In the real world, even Chen Ran ran away.

So how do you get the protagonist of a novel?
……

Today’s Chen Ran is no longer an ordinary top star.

Tennis is a popular sport that carries a huge amount of heat in itself, and Chen Ran is the undisputed number one in this sport. His official girlfriend and rumored girlfriend are the two brightest pearls in women's tennis.

With the support of various topics, Chen Ran's popularity has remained high, almost leading by a huge margin.

This scene that took place at the WTA1000 tournament in Doha, Qatar is bound to become a topic of discussion for a long time to come, and Chen Ran himself has become an object of worship for many Chinese netizens.

"This bunch of boring guys just want to watch the fun and make trouble."

"Fuck, I'm not a two-timing scumbag. Every time I'm in a relationship, I'm only dating one woman at the same time, so what are you guys complaining about?"

At this moment, Chen Ran and Ivanovich had already agreed that there was no need to pay attention to any news from the outside world, and they refused to answer any questions related to it from reporters.

In short, you can ask whatever you want, but we refuse to answer them on the grounds of "relationship history and personal privacy."

What can you do?
After the Middle East season ended, the two of them went to North America together.

……

"Mr. Pete, do you feel the unprecedented pressure brought by Chen Ran?"

"His number of Grand Slams is getting closer and closer to you."

As the ambassador of the Indian Wells Masters, Sampras has faced this question more than once.

The 20-year-old Chen Ran already has 8 Grand Slams. The gap of 6 Grand Slams between him and Sampras is no longer out of reach.

"In theory, he is very likely to do so." Sampras also responded to this question, "but no one knows what will happen in the future? Competitive sports are always full of uncertainty."

"Maybe he will catch up with me soon, maybe it will take a long time, who knows."

He also knows that in this era, there are many talented players and the competition is much more intense than in his era.

There are also various injuries and other off-field factors.

"What's more important is that he already has two French Open titles." The reporter continued to expose his scars, "and the Olympic gold medal, he has already won the Golden Grand Slam. So do you think that with these achievements, he has surpassed you?"

"Grand Slams, Golden Slams, that's just the icing on the cake." Sampras seemed a little stubborn, "After all, you still have to look at the number of Grand Slams. And I'm the king of grass, I have seven Wimbledons."

The reporter also counted them carefully: "2 French Opens, 3 Australian Opens, 2 US Opens, and 1 Wimbledon. Yes, Chen Ran only has one Wimbledon. Even if he can become a GOAT, the title of King of Grass is still yours."

Indeed, seven Wimbledon titles should be an unattainable record.

"Also, I think Chen Ran's recent form may have declined." Sampras added, "Hey, he just got a girlfriend after all, so he needs some time to adapt."

“Let’s see how he performs in this year’s Sunshine Double.”

...As the last two heavyweight hard court tournaments before the start of the clay court season, the "Sunshine Doubles" basically attract the world's top players to participate.

As long as you are not injured, you will not be absent.

Since entering the professional tennis world in 2003, Chen Ran has never missed the Sunshine Doubles.

This year is no exception. This is his fourth consecutive year participating in the Sunshine Double.

However, he seems to have never found his best form since winning three consecutive Australian Open titles.

First, he was eliminated in the semi-finals at the Indian Wells Masters and then at the Miami Masters.

Coincidentally, Chen Ran's girlfriend Ivanovic also reached the semi-finals in both events.

It seemed as if the couple had made an agreement, as their results in the two Masters tournaments were exactly the same.

In the end, Federer won the Indian Wells Masters and Wawrinka won the Miami Masters.

The Sunshine Double Crown was actually won by two Swiss people.

Three and a half months have passed in 2006, and Chen Ran's Masters titles remain at 3.

In the whole of 2006, he currently has only one Australian Open title.

But because of his brilliant performance last year, Chen Ran still sits firmly on the throne of world number one, with the gap between him and the second place being more than 2000 points.

As for Ivanovic, reaching the semifinals in consecutive Sunshine Doubles is obviously a big improvement for her.

Her world ranking continued to rise steadily, from eighth to seventh.

So, some rumors began to spread outside.

"Look, all of Chen Ran's energy has been sucked away by this foreign girl."

"Chen Ran's grades are declining, while Ivanovich's grades are steadily improving."

"You know, there are only tired oxen, but no plowed fields."

"Especially for a big foreign horse like this who is 1 meters tall, most people would not be able to control it. Although Chen Ran is not an ordinary person, he would definitely feel back pain."

"In fact, think about it from another angle. With such a charming young woman by his side, it is already a rare achievement for Chen Ran to reach the semi-finals in both Sunshine Doubles. If it were me, I might not even be able to walk."

However, there are also many fans who come to Chen Ran's defense.

"Damn it, it's normal for his condition to fluctuate. Chen Ran has been very brave for a whole year last year. You guys are full of dirty ideas!"

"I thought people in real life were pretty normal, but when I went online I found that people everywhere were obsessed with driving."

“Let’s see what happens during the clay season?”

……

When the Sunshine Double ends, the European clay court season will begin.

Since the Monte Carlo Masters is not a mandatory tournament, Chen Ran did not sign up, but instead accompanied his girlfriend to Stuttgart, Germany.

The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, a prestigious tournament in the WTA 500, will be held in Stuttgart.

With Chen Ran as witness, Ivanovic defeated various top players, including Li Na in the quarter-finals and Zheng Jie in the final, winning the championship trophy.

In addition to the prize money, the winner will also take home a Porsche car.

"Honey, what am I going to do with this car?" an excited Ivanovich asked after the race.

She also had a headache about how to transport the car back.

In Serbia?

She felt that she lived there only a few days a year.

In Australia, in your own home in Sydney?

That's too far.

"Can't these Germans exchange the Porsche for money?" Chen Ran was also very troubled by this.

If it were him, he would probably sell it at a discount in the used car market rather than transport it back to China over a long distance.

Ivanovich seemed to have made up his mind: "Dear, how about we transport this Porsche to Shanghai and give it to you?"

Chen Ran: "..."

Will there ever be a day when I have to live off my wife?
