Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 569 Federer, do you know why you are a butler?
How long did the women's singles final at this year's Wimbledon take?
Almost three hours.

The tomboy Amelie Mauresmo from France defeated the Belgian queen Justine Henin to win the championship.

Obviously, Henin's dominance on grass courts is far less than that on clay courts.

More than a month ago, this woman beat Chen Ran's girlfriend Ivanovich until she cried.

三盘比分分别为2比6， 6比3， 6比4。

The men's singles final will also be three sets.

So, the media was surprised to find that in this year's Wimbledon Championships men's and women's singles finals, the men's competition took less time than the women's competition.

It cannot be said that this is the first time this has happened, but it is indeed very rare in the finals of Grand Slams.

So you're still complaining about the equal pay and unequal work of male and female contestants? Look at this final, the male contestants spent less time than the female contestants.

Why? Chen Ran once again beat Federer!
However, the WTA confidently stated that it makes sense for male and female players to receive equal pay in Grand Slams.

Nothing wrong!

Federer, who was holding the plate, was also speechless. He himself did not expect such a miserable defeat. Even the WTA made fun of him.

On the centre court of the All England Club, amid cheers and boos from the audience, Chen Ran lifted the Wimbledon Championship trophy for the second time, a golden Challenger Cup.

This is his ninth Grand Slam title in his career.

Although Chen Ran has not won any Masters championship since 2006, he still achieved an impressive record of two championships and one runner-up in the first three Grand Slam tournaments.

He is still leading by a large margin.

Another happy person is the Serbian girl, Ivanovic.

In fact, she was under a lot of pressure. After all, people outside complained that Chen Ran had not won any heavyweight championship since he had been with her.

This time, Chen Ran won the Wimbledon Championship, which also meant that she was not the unlucky woman.

The prize money for the Wimbledon Championship is very generous. If calculated only before tax, it is as much as 150 million pounds.

However, after deducting a tax of up to 50%, Chen Ran only received a mere 75 pounds.

This bonus is not small. If converted into Chinese currency in this era, it would be nearly 10 million.

The current pound has not fallen as much as it did in the future.

But what is the use of the British pound?

I'm not going to stay in this crappy place like England to live and consume, so Chen Ran decided to exchange the pounds into Chinese currency immediately.

The arrogant British guys still think their pound is very popular.

Don’t you think about the weather and food here? What’s so attractive about them?

In Chen Ran's pocket, apart from the Chinese Yuan, there were only US dollars and Australian dollars.

I don’t want any pounds or euros.

Because in Europe, you can use US dollars, not necessarily euros.

As for the Australian dollar, Chen Ran thought about buying a property in Australia in the future, or taking a vacation there for a while every year.

It is not the United States, nor Canada, but Australia, which has now become the first choice for many wealthy Chinese.

After all, in a free America, guns are fought every day.

After winning the championship, Chen Ran faced the microphone handed over by the host and asked immediately: "Is Her Majesty the Queen okay? I am really concerned about her health. The grass today was too slippery. Roger and I fell several times during the game."

The point you made is the latter sentence.

The cunning boy put the blame on the stadium grass and the organizing committee in just a few words and kept himself out of the matter.

The British host complained in his heart.

"Listen, next time you encounter a situation after the rain, you should send a few more royal guards to escort the queen. This time it was clearly the organizing committee's negligence."

"..."

You guys never stop talking, right?
Isn't it just to clear yourself of all responsibility?
"We will seriously consider your suggestion. But Chen Ran...tell us about how you feel about winning the championship. You have already completed two Grand Slams."

"Let me think..." Chen Ran paused, "First of all, I am very happy to win the championship. I love Wimbledon, and I enjoy playing here. Grass courts are great. Think about the French Open, on clay courts. It is not easy to defeat your opponent because you have to keep fighting with them and kill time."

"Comparatively speaking, playing on grass is much simpler. It's clean and neat, and the battle is resolved quickly." Federer's face darkened when he heard this.

Is this a subtle hint that I'm easy to solve?

After all, Chen Ran’s previous French Open match took five full sets and nearly six hours, but this Wimbledon final took less than two hours, which is a world of difference.

It can even be said that this Wimbledon victory was one of the easiest Grand Slam titles Chen Ran has ever won.

After seven rounds of competition, he only lost one set to Nadal in the semi-finals, but swept all other matches.

"So you will come back next year?" the host asked expectantly.

No matter how unpopular Chen Ran is with fans in London, he can still be a box office draw at Wimbledon.

"Next year, as long as my body allows, I will come back." Chen Ran said very affirmatively.

I only stay in the UK for a few days every year during Wimbledon, not a day more.

I have no interest in Britain at all.

What's the point of "one year's master's degree in English and a lifetime of love for England"? I don't buy it!

Look at the gloomy weather, it’s going to rain soon. Chen Ran just wants to escape from London as soon as possible.

"Well, I look forward to your return next year, and congratulations on the birth of a new generation of grass king."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ran raised the championship trophy again, and fireworks burst into the air.

……

Among the active players, Chen Ran currently leads the pack in the number of Grand Slam titles.

Chen Ran has 9, Federer has 3, Hewitt has 2, Nadal, Roddick, Safin, Ferrero and others each have 1.

However, the Swiss king was ridiculed by Chen Ran's fans as the worst three-Grand Slam winner in history.

The reason is simple. This guy won all three Grand Slam titles when Chen Ran was absent.

Looking at history, there is absolutely no one like him.

This also made Federer very depressed. Every time he won a championship, the world's number one was absent.

After the award ceremony, Federer held the runner-up plate and walked directly to the player tunnel without looking back.

"Honey, you're amazing."

When Chen Ran walked towards his private room, his girlfriend Ivanovich excitedly threw herself on him and gave him a kiss.

"By the way, how does it feel to have your toes kissed by the Queen?" the girl continued to tease.

Aren't you jealous? But why are you jealous of Fan Binbin? You just provoked me when I just waved my hand to say hello!
Chen Ran thought helplessly.

This girl is really double standard!
"Here's the championship trophy." Chen Ran handed the Wimbledon trophy to his girlfriend.

Ivanovich was ecstatic and couldn't let it go.

"I wish I could hold such a championship trophy one day. My dear, you already have nine," Ivanovic said enviously.

Her boyfriend has 9 trophies and 1 plate, but she only has 1 plate. She is really worried that she is not worthy of him.

There is a vixen outside watching closely.

"It will happen, I believe it." Chen Ran had no choice but to comfort the other party in this way.

……

On the Internet, Chen Ran's fans will never miss the opportunity to make fun of Federer.

"Do you know why Federer can never beat Chen Ran and can only become his male servant?"

"why?"

"Because this guy puts all his energy into socializing. Do you see Chen Ran socializing? A truly strong person doesn't need to deliberately socialize! A socialite is only fit to be a male servant!"
