Chapter 614 I have never played such a tiring game

PS: It’s the final, incredible! Zheng Qinwen defeated the current world No. 1, the clay court queen Swiatek. Four French Open champions, including three consecutive titles, you know, Roland Garros is her backyard.

Currently, Swiatek has a 25-game winning streak at Roland Garros, and this record has been ended by Zheng Qinwen!

This was unimaginable before the game!
Come on finals!

……

Chen Ran won the first game!

However, some netizens joked that the intensity of this game between the two of them might be higher than the entire previous game.

During the break, Chen Ran did not hide his feelings and openly swung his arms, hoping to relieve the numbness and soreness.

He also knew that this game would definitely be a war of attrition.

“Will I miss the grass at the All England Club?”

Chen Ran looked at the blue sky and couldn't help thinking.

At last year's Wimbledon, he swept all the top players with lightning speed, establishing himself as the new "King of Grass".

Since in this time and space, Federer's only Wimbledon title was won when Chen Ran was absent, no one would associate the Swiss with the new "King of Grass".

Today, Chen Ran is recognized as the second generation grass court king after Sampras.

However, he also needs to prove that he can be the champion on clay courts, which Sampras is not good at.

"No, I actually really like playing at Roland Garros, I have so many great memories here."

"Even my first girlfriend in this time and space was also met through the French Open."

Chen Ran even liked those noisy French people a little bit. The noisier they were, the more excited he felt about playing basketball.

He found the French people's relaxation quite interesting.

At this moment in Roland Garros, the French audience is basically evenly split in terms of the number of people supporting the two sides.

This data is not easy to come by, because Chen Ran has missed the Paris Masters for three consecutive years, which made the arrogant French fans grit their teeth in anger.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ran was still able to get half of the French audience at Roland Garros to cheer for him, which was enough to show his popularity and strength.

"I won my first Grand Slam title on this golf course. There's no reason why I don't like it here."

Chen Ran picked up his racket, slowly stood up, and walked back into the court.

On the other side, Nadal also had murderous eyes and walked into the court aggressively.

If he falls behind by one set, he will not be discouraged but become even crazier and more focused.

Twenty minutes later, Nadal broke serve in the third game.

In this year's French Open, Chen Ran was broken by his opponents only a few times, and the number could even be counted on one hand.

The momentum is soaring!

Nadal screamed hysterically when he broke the serve.

Not as calm as Chen Ran at all.

One is like fire, the other is like water.

In the end, Chen Ran failed to break back in the second set, and Nadal won the second set 6-4.

The second set lasted 10 rounds. Although not as many rounds as the first set which lasted 12 rounds, the intensity was no less.

After the game was over, not only Chen Ran, but also Nadal started rubbing his arms while wiping his sweat and drinking water.

After being broken, Chen Ran tried to break back, which put great pressure on Nadal.

There were many battles between the two sides, running all over the field, and rounds of confrontation lasting more than thirty shots.

The game was tense and brutal.

Although Nadal won the second set smoothly, the pressure was still huge.

The second set also took more than an hour for both sides.

The two games together took about 2 hours and 50 minutes, which is almost 3 hours.

However, the two men are still running very fast, as if they have not been affected by anything, which shows their excellent physical fitness.

Soon, the turning point of the third set began to arrive. When the two sides reached the eleventh game, Chen Ran made a very brilliant and sudden drop shot, which made Nadal try hard to catch up.

"Can you catch up with this?" Chen Ran cursed inwardly.

Maybe this is an illusion.

He even felt that Nadal's running speed on the clay court seemed to be much faster than on other types of courts, and could even be described as moving as fast as a cunning rabbit.

Fortunately, Chen Ran was prepared. He intercepted the ball in front of the net and threw it high into the distance.

With his wonderful touch, Chen Ran's shot was high and far, almost touching the baseline when it landed.

Wow!

This amazing goal also made the French audience at the scene exclaim in amazement.

This round of competition was simply amazing.

Soon, they gasped again.

When they thought there was no chance for this ball, Nadal rushed to the baseline frantically again, and then when the tennis ball was almost about to complete two bounces to become a dead ball, this guy decisively turned his back and hit the ball between his legs.

Nadal had his back to Chen Ran, and he could only hit this ball relying on the sense of the ball developed from years of competition.

"TMD, rescued again?"

Chen Ran also cursed inwardly.

Whenever I get a break point and am about to break, I feel like my opponent will suddenly shift gears and go full throttle.

This also made Chen Ran feel tired.

Too damn tenacious.

Can't you just surrender and admit defeat early like you did on the grass?
However, this also aroused Chen Ran's fighting spirit.

Even if he was so tired that he couldn't stand up straight after the game, he was determined to win the game.

Fight!

Nadal's back-to-the-basket shot was not only very sudden, but also had a very tricky angle.

Without even thinking, Chen Ran leaped forward and dove forward.

This is red soil, so just fall if you want to.

After Chen Ran made a great leap, he finally saved the ball and hit it back.

"Wow!"

"fantastic!"

The French host on the scene was at a loss for words.

Chen Ran lay on the ground, while Nadal continued to run and also made a diving header to return the ball.

At this time, both of them were lying on the red soil, their bodies covered with red mud.

But Chen Ran immediately got up and ran at full speed, trying to hit the ball back again.

Then, at the moment his racket touched the ball, his foot accidentally slipped.

Fortunately, his left hand supported the clay, and his right hand, relying on his instinctive feel, swung lightly and hit the ball back.

Nadal was not willing to be outdone. He immediately got up and ran towards the flying tennis ball frantically.

This guy also went crazy and rushed forward again without hesitation.

Because the soil here is red, the two of them are like goalkeepers saving the ball in a football match.

But this time, he was still a step too late, and only the edge of the racket touched the tennis ball.

Breakthrough successful!

Chen Ran was breathing heavily.

I have never played such a tiring game in my life.
