Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 580: Grassland Nightmare Reappears
For Chen Ran, it was a little surprising that his opponent in the final was Nadal.

After all, in his memory, the US Open in recent years should have been dominated by Federer.

If it weren't for his own factors, Federer should have won five consecutive titles.

However, in this semi-final, Federer lost to Nadal unexpectedly.

What is the reason for this?
Chen Ran suddenly remembered that these two guys had formed an alliance to deal with him, so they often got together to practice.

In this way, both parties will know each other well.

In fact, for those top male tennis players, it is not easy to find a suitable sparring partner.

If you hire an amateur player to practice with you, you will have to spend money and the results may not be satisfactory.

This is not like female players. Finding a male player outside the top 1000 in the world can also be considered a very good sparring partner.

"So the frequent practice between Federer and Nadal was the key to Nadal's victory!"

Chen Ran also roughly guessed the reason.

To be precise, Federer was only thinking about how to deal with Chen Ran, and thus neglected to study and pay attention to Nadal, his old rival from his previous life, which led to his unexpected loss in the semi-final.

After all, the era that should have belonged to King Federer's dominance was broken because of himself.

What's more, compared with Federer in the original time and space, Chen Ran's dominance is even more terrifying.

After all, Chen Ran has won all the heavyweight clay court tournaments including the French Open.

He had roughly guessed the reason.

Because of Federer as his training partner, Nadal has adapted to hard courts and improved faster than in his previous life.

"Very well, then I'll let you feel the same despair as on the grass court!"

Chen Ran thought very confidently.

Time quickly came to the game day.

In the women's competition the day before, Sharapova took advantage of Serena Williams' poor form and defeated her in straight sets, winning the second Grand Slam singles title in her career.

The maid seldom turned over.

So the question is, if Chen Ran wins the men's singles again, will the group photo session of the male and female champions after the game become very exciting and interesting?
After all, there are rumors that Chen Ran and Sharapova had an underground relationship, although neither party has admitted it.

Many people thought with some gloating attitude.

Perhaps the cameraman also guessed the audience's gossipy mentality, so he locked the lens on Sharapova at the scene.

I saw this beauty sitting on a chair, looking around, seemingly absent-minded.

That erratic look seemed to reveal the uneasiness in her heart.

This made the onlookers even more excited.

At this moment, Chen Ran stood in the middle of the venue with his hands on his hips, but he did not raise his head and look around as usual. Instead, he lowered his head silently, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Damn, these Americans really know how to make trouble!"

After all, the picture on the big screen was always on Sharapova, so in order to avoid some embarrassing scenes, he had to lower his head.

If they win the championship, will it be more awkward when the two sides take photos together?

This is tomorrow's matter, and it is impossible for Chen Ran to deliberately give Nadal a break for this reason.

The Americans just want to use this to mess with my mentality, right?

Unfortunately, I will never let you do as you wish!
At this time, Nadal also glanced at the big screen quietly, then lowered his head and revealed an intriguing smile.

He didn't dare show any obvious expression, but he was actually ecstatic in his heart.

Nadal even saw the dawn of winning the championship, looming and shining towards him.

Americans, you are awesome. It seems that no one wants to see Chen Ran dominate the professional tennis world with such an advantage.

Although Nadal respects Chen Ran very much, he will never miss the opportunity to take advantage of him.

European and American athletes are not as honest as Chinese athletes who just compete with their heads covered.

In order to win the game, they will try every possible means as long as the rules of the game allow.

In Nadal's view, you have already won two Grand Slams in the 2006 season, so if he also wins two Grand Slams, and both sides get half, then everyone will be happy.

Unconsciously, Nadal habitually touched the back of his pants, even dug inside, and then put his fingers in his mouth and licked them a few times.

This series of actions has become his habitual set of actions.

Although the outside world has complained about this, Nadal still does his own thing.

As for those carefree and heartless American fans at the scene, they naturally burst into laughter after seeing this scene.

"This is my third time attending the US Open. Every time it's like a vegetable market, so noisy." Chen Ran cursed inwardly.

Among the four Grand Slams, the noise level at the US Open is closest to that of a vegetable market, followed by the French Open.

As for Wimbledon, it is relatively quiet. After all, the British consider themselves gentlemen, and no matter whether this is genuine or not, they have to pretend.

The stadium in Flushing is so big and spacious that the noisy noise even echoes from time to time.

Chen Ran was ready to receive the serve with a blank expression on his face, and Nadal finished a series of forward and follow-up moves and slowly threw the ball up...

About 30 minutes later, the first break of the match occurred.

The US Open, as a fast and hard court, is undoubtedly the venue that Chen Ran is most adapted to.

Even if he made a mistake in the first serve, he could still firmly seize the initiative with the second serve.

Whether it was speed, rotation, or landing point, Chen Ran demonstrated outstanding strength.

Oh my god, this guy's serve receiving ability is already unrivaled in the tennis world, could it be that his serve ability is also the best among the rest?

Chen Ran made Nadal experience what despair is.

In his three service games, he gave away all of them as "love games", preventing Nadal from scoring a single point.

What a despair!
In a tennis match, if you can't break the serve, there is no hope of winning.

At this moment, Nadal found it difficult to even score a point, let alone break the serve.

The Spanish king suddenly remembered the feeling of despair when he was completely dominated by Chen Ran during the grass court season, and it was even stronger.

The opponent is obviously more adapted to the court at the US Open than at Wimbledon.

His strong performance even made the originally noisy stadium as quiet as a chicken.

The only words left for the Americans are: "Oh, my God!"

With Chen Ran's overwhelming performance in his serve, the huge pressure was fed back to Nadal's own serve.

His third service game was broken, and then again in the fourth.

6 is better than 3!

Chen Ran won the first set without losing a single point in his four service games.

The scenes from the grass court season reappeared in Nadal's mind.

At this moment, just as at that moment.
