Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 564 Super Grassland Master (4K)

How could such a ridiculous rumor be believed even by his girlfriend?

Chen Ran was in a trance, and he had an illusion in his mind: Could it be that I really have this ability, but I just haven't discovered it yet?

Wait, stop kidding.

Chen Ran shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind him.

Others may think so, but he cannot have similar thoughts, otherwise it will be too funny.

One can imagine how many beautiful tennis ladies will come to him in order to improve their skills.

That would really drain you dry!
"Don't think about it. Your progress is the result of your own hard work. It has nothing to do with our incident."

Chen Ran could only touch Ivanovich's little head and spoke in a serious tone.

"Is it true?" Ivanovich asked back uncertainly.

This girl actually hopes that the rumor is true, so that she can ask for more from her boyfriend more openly.

Although Chen Ran was really powerful, with his superb physical strength and strong impact force, he often made it impossible for her to get out of bed.

"Honey, the championship I want to win the most is actually Wimbledon."

"why?"

"Because her first Grand Slam title was Wimbledon."

Although Ivanovich did not specify who the "she" he was talking about was, Chen Ran still understood.

You see, women are like this, they like to compete secretly!
But then again, it seems like I have some double standards.

Ivanovich has no ex-boyfriends.

If she had an ex-boyfriend who played tennis, Chen Ran would definitely beat him to death if she met him.

It’s a pity that the German pig doesn’t play tennis, otherwise he could have taught this guy who looks like a “German officer in World War II” a lesson.

However, when Dimitrov enters the tennis world in the future, Chen Ran can let him experience the cruelty of the ATP tour.

Well, it shouldn't be long before this guy becomes a professional player.

In fact, Chen Ran was quite curious about Dimitrov, the famous tennis player from Bulgaria.

This guy actually had a love triangle with Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova at the same time.

At that time, many fans were confused.

"Sharapova and Serena Williams???"

“Are these two people actually comparable?”

"This guy is really fierce, and his taste is really special."

Whenever Chen Ran thought of this past event, he couldn't help but give Dimitrov a thumbs up. Isn't this more powerful than challenging a rich woman with a steel wool?
"Ana, don't think so much."

Chen Ran patted her head again, "Any Grand Slam will do. There's no need to dwell on Wimbledon."

Ivanovic also knew that she was just talking casually, and the possibility of her winning Wimbledon was much lower than that of the French Open.

"Well... but you have to be more careful these days. You have become a thorn in the eyes of the British media. The last person to receive this treatment was probably Maradona 20 years ago." She said with a smile.

Twenty years ago at the World Cup, Maradona became the public enemy of this country with his "Hand of God" goal.

And Chen Ran did it with just a few teasing jokes.

"It's no big deal." Chen Ran shrugged disapprovingly.

This is just a small matter, isn't it just a few jokes?

However, it seems that there are some guys in China who are more excited than the British.

"Every time I participate in Wimbledon, some stories happen and I become the target of criticism from the British media. I've long been accustomed to this." Chen Ran smiled very calmly and relaxedly.

……

"The Chinese are the best at field sports!" This is the ridicule given to Chen Ran by Chinese netizens.

It's not just because the Chinese national football team's record is so poor, even the record of Chinese tennis players at Wimbledon is unbearable to look at. Only Chen Ran can still sweep away all the top players like chopping melons and vegetables.

In fact, in the professional tennis world, there are not many true grass court masters.

This has led to the fact that there are rarely any upsets among the Wimbledon champions.

In the past, the key points of Wimbledon were basically monopolized by the two generations of grass court kings, Federer and Djokovic, and the remaining ones were divided up by Nadal and Murray.

However, in this time and space, there is one more grass-roots master, Chen Ran.

In the quarter-finals, Chen Ran met Djokovic again.

The two met again since the end of the Australian Open.

But Djokovic is indeed a living treasure.

During the pre-match warm-up, this guy actually started imitating Sharapova's serve.

Djokovic had clearly carefully observed every step of Sharapova's serve.

Flip your hair, bend over, lift your hips, and then let out a scream as you serve the ball.

Djokovic's imitation also made the audience laugh and applaud.

Some people also recalled the scandal between Chen Ran and Sharapova, and felt that this was deliberately done by Djokovic and was a deliberate psychological warfare.

"Novak, do you really want me to beat your ass that badly?"

Chen Ran stood on the other side of the net and said with a gloomy face.

Djokovic did not show any fear, but shouted to the stands: "Ana, your boyfriend is threatening me."

Ivanovich in the stands heard this and did not respond. He just covered his face and did not want to pay attention to that funny guy.

After a while, Ivanovich put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Chen, you have to beat him up, I want to see him cry!"

Djokovic spread his hands and said helplessly: "Since you became lovers, Ana seems to have forgotten that we are both Serbian."

Chen Ran held the racket in his hand and replied with a smile on his face: "Novak, no matter what you do, it will not affect my game state. Don't waste your efforts."

Djokovic scratched his head.

In fact, he also knew that this method would most likely be ineffective against Chen Ran, and might even have a counterproductive effect.

"Damn, I think I used the wrong method!"

Djokovic had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, his feeling was correct.

As the game progressed, Djokovic felt more and more exhausted and was completely suppressed by Chen Ran.

After all, Djokovic is still a little immature on grass courts today, far from reaching the level of the "King of Grass" in later generations.

The score of the first set, 6 to 1!

Chen Ran presented a fried dough stick to the future king of the grass.

"Well done, Chen!"

Ivanovich cheered Chen Ran happily, "Keep going at him!"

Djokovic was speechless.

Girl, we are from the same country after all. We used to practice together when we were in the youth team. Do you have to be so heartless?
Djokovic suddenly felt that the many years of friendship between him and Ivanovic was so pale and fragile.

Ivanovic just wanted to see himself make a fool of himself. In the second set, Djokovic's performance improved, but he was still broken by Chen Ran.

6 is better than 3!

After two sets, the game had almost lost its suspense.

"Damn it. I shouldn't have imitated Maria's actions. Not only did it not affect Chen Ran's mood, but it made him attack me crazily."

I have to say that the grass court at Wimbledon is really suitable for Chen Ran.

Chen Ran's outstanding overall strength, especially his excellent control over the strength, landing point and rotation of the ball, makes him feel at home on the grass court.

Even when the tennis ball fell on the lawn, its irregular bounce was handled with ease by Chen Ran.

"There's only one month in a year, and there's no grass court in China. I really don't understand how they train?"

Djokovic thought with some despair.

He felt that he had a very good ability to adapt to grass courts, but it was still far behind Chen Ran.

In the third set, Djokovic had given up resistance and was defeated by Chen Ran 6-2.

After three sets of matches, Djokovic won exactly 6 games, and he was eliminated in the round of .

Chen Ran once again made it to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, which is his third time in Wimbledon history.

After four rounds of competition, he still hasn't lost a single game.

Currently, the only ones who can do this are Chen Ran and Federer.

In addition, the clay court king Nadal also showed his great progress on grass courts at this year's Wimbledon.

In the first four rounds, he faced almost no challenge and easily made it to the quarterfinals.

The three current kings of tennis have all made it into the quarterfinals.

The first quarter-final match was between the new Spanish king Nadal and former Wimbledon champion Roddick.

Originally, everyone thought this would be a match like Mars hitting the Earth.

As a result, the situation became one-sided.

The younger Nadal is far superior to the now increasingly decadent Roddick in terms of spirit, willpower and desire for the game.

6比3，7比5，6比3！

The match was swept in three straight sets, which surprised many fans at the scene.

This guy has won a Grand Slam title and several Grand Slam runner-up titles, all at Wimbledon.

But this year, this guy was actually defeated by the young Nadal.

However, everyone soon discovered a problem.

Even a strong player like Roddick had no chance to resist Nadal. The Spaniard had already played at his best on the grass court.

It can be seen that Nadal has become familiar with grass courts and has shown that he is not inferior to clay courts.

But even so, Nadal's grass court strength is still very outstanding in today's tennis, but he was still beaten by Chen Ran.

In the two grass tour tournaments not long ago, Chen Ran swept Nadal with the same score of 2-0, which can be regarded as revenge for his loss in the French Open.

Here comes the problem...

Even someone like Nadal, who has become strong enough on grass, was still beaten by Chen Ran.

Then those guys who were beaten by Nadal in the grass tour could not even pose the slightest threat to Chen Ran.

"Final Four!"

Nadal nodded excitedly, but his expression immediately turned serious when he looked towards the stands.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will meet Chen Ran in the semi-finals.

Nadal felt a little uneasy when he thought about the past.

Although he won the French Open by chance, he was beaten badly by Chen Ran in the subsequent grass court tournaments in Mallorca and Halle.

Will this be the case at this year's Wimbledon Championships?
If Nadal was beaten so humiliatingly by his opponent in a Grand Slam, he would indeed feel a little depressed.

"It would be nice if we could have an upset, although I know the possibility is very low."

Nadal sat alone in the room, watching Chen Ran's game video intently.

This guy was in the dormitory for once, watching the game and praying silently.

Chen Ran’s strength is so terrifying that Nadal doesn’t think he has any chance of winning the match.

……

Time soon arrived at the competition day.

The first competition was the women's competition. Ivanovic was eliminated in the quarterfinals and her magical journey ended.

However, this quarterfinal result was also Ivanovic's best since participating in Wimbledon, and she was very satisfied with it.

After finishing this Wimbledon trip, Ivanovic's world ranking also reached fifth place.

This is the first time she has entered the WTA top 5.

Of course, many of Chen Ran’s fans still firmly believe that this was the result of his “body fluid exchange”.

Maybe it was a deliberate arrangement by the Wimbledon Organizing Committee.

After Ivanovic's game ended, Chen Ran's game started immediately, and they were in the same stadium.

The female partner of this couple has been eliminated, will the male partner continue?
I should eliminate it myself and go accompany my girlfriend.

The Sun reporter wrote maliciously.

These paparazzi actually thought that Chen Ran should leave with his girlfriend, so as to show that this tennis couple stands together through thick and thin.

Because Chen Ran's opponent in the Wimbledon quarterfinals was none other than the famous British player Henman.

Henman's performance in the other three Grand Slam tournaments is mediocre, but in his own Wimbledon Championship, he often performs unexpectedly.

However, meeting Chen Ran also meant that his good luck came to an end.

No matter what the reporter from The Sun did in the audience, Chen Ran still swept Henman away at the speed of a whirlwind.

6比1，6比2，6比0
Chen Ran's sweeping speed was terrifyingly fast, and he even gave his opponent a bagel in the last game!

The so-called British grass court masters were almost powerless in front of a true grass court master like Chen Ran.

Those British audiences who cheered for Henman also returned home disappointed.

As they left the field, they were still cursing: "Quarterfinals, our players are eliminated in the quarterfinals again. This is how football is, and it's also how tennis is!"

Is it the fate of the outstanding athletes of the British Empire to reach the quarterfinals?

"This Chinese guy is too strong!" The reporter of The Sun couldn't help but sigh, "In the past, we used Page 3 girls to influence Chen Ran's performance, which might have been helpful. But now, since he has a girlfriend, Page 3 girls are useless, and the only weakness has been solved."

Wait, when have you, the Page 3 girls of The Sun, ever played any role? I have no recollection of them.

Chen Ran was also speechless. These British guys really just talked without thinking. Why do they like to flatter themselves so much?

But he knew that The Sun would probably continue to make trouble and even exaggerate the matter.
