Chapter 573: Gathering of Famous Generals from Previous Lives

……

Who can stop Chen Ran?

In the five rounds of the Cincinnati Masters, he did not lose a single set.

This guy is really adapted to the fast and hard courts of the North American season. He is like a fish in water.

Many foreign media have complained.

This guy even made the American fans at the scene completely turn against Roddick and support him instead.

Roddick lived up to expectations and was defeated by Chen Ran in the final in an almost terrible manner.

Nowadays, the pattern of men's tennis seems to have become one superpower and many strong teams, which seems to be a bit similar to the world pattern...

After winning his 15th Masters title, Chen Ran rushed to New York to prepare for the US Open.

At the same time, calls in the media to stop Chen Ran have reached a peak.

Last year, Chen Ran won three Grand Slams, plus the championship of the year-end finals.

This year, Chen Ran still achieved an impressive result of two championships and one runner-up in the first three Grand Slam tournaments. Such dominance has already surpassed Sampras.

If Chen Ran wins the US Open again, it will be an unprecedented three championships and one runner-up.

More importantly, Chen Ran's number of Grand Slam titles will reach ten, which is double digits.

He must be stopped!

However, when the entry list for this year's US Open was announced, Chen Ran discovered something interesting.

All the giants or quasi-giants in my memory of my previous life appeared on this list, such as Andy Murray from Britain.

Like Wawrinka, he has won three Grand Slams, and two Olympic gold medals. He can be said to be a quasi-giant.

More importantly, his identity attributes.

Although he is Scottish, Murray has to be placed high hopes by the British media because of the poor performance of the English in tennis, and is even called the British star.

Again, when a Scotsman becomes successful, he automatically becomes British.

If a Scotsman does bad things, then he is a Scotsman.

Today, Andy Murray is still a very shy guy, very shy and introverted, even a little weak in character, and he will cry when he loses a game.

This is completely different from Djokovic, who was born in the same year.

What’s even more interesting is that Murray often publicly states that he is a feminist and supports equal pay for male and female players in the tennis tour.

The equal pay for equal work here does not refer to the four Grand Slam tournaments, but to the ATP and WTA tours.

Unlike the four Grand Slams, ATP and WTA are two systems after all.

Nowadays, in the same level tours, whether it is the 1000, 500, or 250 tournaments, the prize money of the ATP tour is much higher than that of the WTA tour, and everyone is still best of three sets.

It is only in Grand Slam tournaments that the prize money for male and female players is equal.

But after all, these are two systems. In this situation, equal pay for equal work between men and women was not achieved until 2023 in the previous life, and only a small number of 1000 races met this requirement.

For example, the prize money for the WTA 1000 tournament in China Open is very close to that for the ATP 1000 tournament in Shanghai.

Maybe this is what the Scots are like, the Scots who love to wear skirts.

Chen Ran met Murray in the training ground. This guy was training with Djokovic.

Perhaps these two guys, both born in 1987, will have a lot in common, especially under the shadow of Chen Ran's dominance in professional tennis.

Chen Ran came to the stadium with his girlfriend.

However, during this practice, Ivanovich trained with Dementieva from Russia. According to rumors, there is actually no harmony within the Russian pink army.

Many people can't stand Sharapova's super popularity and her somewhat cold personality, so they deliberately isolate her.

Are Sharapova and Ivanovic rivals in love?
Some people in Russia's pink army deliberately became close friends with Ivanovich to flatter Sharapova.

In short, intrigue among women is everywhere.

Chen Ran was practicing with Roddick.

Although the latter had just been beaten terribly by Chen Ran in the Cincinnati Masters, this did not affect this guy's sunny mood at all.

Although he is only 24 years old, this guy has already started to show signs of being a sluggish player.

This is no wonder. Whether it is Chen Ran, Federer, or Nadal, they have completely suppressed him in almost all courts, including indoor hard courts.

Roddick was convinced that it would be difficult for him to win a Grand Slam again.

In this case, you might as well calm down and enjoy tennis.

While winning a few tour titles, try to extend your career as much as possible.

"Is this English guy also called Andy like me?"

Roddick pointed at Murray on the next tennis court and shouted.

"I'm Scottish!" Murray replied shyly.

"Oh, yes!" Roddick shrugged. "I've seen the movie Braveheart. I like Wallace."

"..." Murray was speechless. This guy really likes to say shocking things.

But his attention was still focused on Chen Ran.

This world number one player is a bit aloof and always silent, but Murray knows that Chen Ran is not an introverted and taciturn person.

On the contrary, this guy has a very poisonous mouth.

In the recent Wimbledon final, this guy not only ignored Hollywood stars including Cheng Long, he even embarrassed Her Majesty the Queen in front of the whole world, although this matter actually had nothing to do with Chen Ran.

But he is also a party to this incident after all.

Murray is a bit introverted and did not step forward to greet Chen Ran.

His practice partner Djokovic originally wanted to greet Chen Ran, but when he saw Chen Ran's vicious eyes, he immediately backed off.

After all, Djokovic, who is always known for his bad mouth, recently joked about the rumors circulating in the professional tennis world about Chen Ran, saying that he could improve the level of female players through "body fluid exchange."

At this time, a few more people came to the training ground.

First, Wawrinka appeared on the training ground wearing a pair of large flowered pants that were unbearable to look at.

This guy was not in a hurry to practice basketball. Instead, he sat on a chair with his legs apart, as if he wanted to show off his big flowery pants to everyone.

However, Federer and Nadal also showed up.

These two guys actually made a date.

With a common hatred for the enemy, the two of them actually became close comrades-in-arms, even though now one is working for Nike and the other is working for Uniqlo.

We can’t let Chen Ran become too arrogant!

With this idea in mind, the two guys came together and exchanged ideas with each other.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared again.

Zhang Depei also appeared with his disciple Kei Nishikori.
