Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 622 Three-lap Grand Slam

At this moment, Chen Ran looked at Murray's somewhat lonely expression, and he did feel some sympathy for his opponent.

Poor Scots, when you fail you are no longer brothers to them English.

Chen Ran had not studied much about British history. He vaguely remembered that the Scots were called Celts, and the English were called Anglo-Saxons.

Although they are both white skin, it seems like there are two kinds of white skin?

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. What does it have to do with me?

However, Chen Ran is a master of psychological warfare and knows when to plant a nail in the opponent's mind.

"Andy..."

Chen Ran suddenly spoke up, "Your performance was great, and you are so young, only 20 years old. I believe that you will be a strong competitor in this event in the future."

After saying this, he patted Murray on the shoulder very generously.

Murray was swept by Chen Ran in three consecutive sets and was feeling depressed. He did not expect Chen Ran to suddenly comfort him, which also caught him off guard.

Didn’t you say that you don’t need to make friends in ATP? You also said that you never expected friendship with me. Why are you being so polite now?

Chen Ran glanced at Murray's face and knew what the other party was thinking.

He then smiled and continued, "There is no way we can have a friendship because I see you as a competitor. I think competitors are not suitable to be friends."

"Andy, you've only been on the tour a short time. You'll understand after a while."

Murray suddenly realized and accepted this explanation.

To be honest, he has not realized this problem yet.

After all, Murray, who is introverted and shy, has been playing diligently with his head down since entering the professional tennis world and has never considered so many issues.

It was not until Chen Ran brought up this topic that he suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Chen Ran actually considers me a competitor? My God, he is the world's number one. Does he think my potential is enough to pose a threat to him?"

Murray recalled every detail of the game just now, and suddenly thought that if he continued to improve, it would not be impossible for him to challenge Chen Ran.

He dreams of winning Wimbledon.

Suddenly, Murray remembered how he was mocked as a "Scottish bumpkin" by the British host, and he felt bitter again.

But he had already gotten used to it.

That's the British, they will only accept successful Scots.

"Andy, you don't have to care about what those people say about you. You will definitely become the best tennis player in the UK in the future." Chen Ran said, "Those who laugh at you today will definitely come to please you in the future."

"When the time comes, don't give them a good look."

Really, Chen Ran thought he was a very cold-blooded person and would not get involved in the love-hate relationship between the Scots and the English.

But the British people's attitude towards Murray made even this "cold-hearted" man unable to bear it.

So he had to speak up to comfort Murray.

Similarly, he also knows how to lay mines and dig pits for the opponent.

When the British withdrew from Asia, didn’t they also like to stir up trouble and dig holes everywhere?

Although Chen Ran does not have such great power to influence geopolitics, in the field of tennis, with his scheming and good means, digging some traps is a piece of cake for him.

He knew that Murray must have some grudges in his heart.

As for whether this guy will have a chance to obtain a title in this life?

In short, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Olympic gold medal, Wimbledon title?
In addition to the Big Three, there is now another super giant, Chen Ran, so it is unlikely that Murray will be knighted.

"Good luck!"

After Chen Ran said this, he waved goodbye.

Facing the British host's entanglement, he gave a few perfunctory speeches and left. The content of his speech was relatively brief, and he even started to recruit people.

"I hope everyone can come and support me in the final, because my opponent in the final cannot be British."

"Her Majesty the Queen hates me? You know, it's a misunderstanding."

"Besides, I have always believed that the people of the British Empire are very humorous and have their own personalities. You are not going to follow the ideas of an 80-year-old lady, are you?"

"You are a constitutional monarchy."

“You must have your own preferences.”

Chen Ran really dared to say anything, which made the British audience at the scene cheer and applaud continuously.

However, Chinese diplomats in the UK were so frightened by Chen Ran's words that they broke out in a sweat, fearing that they might cause some dispute.

Boy, can you just keep your mouth shut?

Also, don't let anything unexpected happen in the Wimbledon final in two days.

Chen Ran acted as if nothing had happened in last year's incident, but they were under a lot of pressure.

……

Chen Ran reached the finals of the Wimbledon Championships three times, and his opponent was Federer every time.

He knew very well that if it weren't for him, Federer would have been the king of grass in this time and space.

But in this time and space, Federer was suppressed by Chen Ran on the grass field which he is best at.

Just like in his previous life, Federer had always defeated Roddick at Wimbledon. This time he played the role of Roddick, while Chen Ran played the role of Federer in his previous life.

However, the difference is that in his previous life, Federer attracted a group of British royal family members with his elegant playing style and they became his loyal fans.

In this time and space, Chen Ran was hated by the British royal family. It was Federer's many times as the "Wimbledon runner-up" that forced the British royal family to reluctantly become his fans.

Although it is done reluctantly, the main reason is that they have no choice.

Since it was impossible to choose Chen Ran, the British royal family could only support Federer.

So the situation in the entire central stadium was very strange. Most of the spectators, especially some young people, were fans of Chen Ran, while those so-called aristocrats supported Federer.

"Have the tastes of you British aristocrats declined so much? Since when can you only support a runner-up?"

"That's not right. Roger Federer also won Wimbledon once. Although it was during my absence, the championship was real."

Chen Ran figured this out.

Because Federer had won the less prestigious Wimbledon title, he naturally became the object of support from many members of the British royal family.

"But I'm sorry, now that I've participated, I won't give up any chance to win the championship!"

Chen Ran thought so firmly.

If he wins this year's race, he'll have completed the three-lap Grand Slam.

……

About 4 hours later, the final came to an end amid screams and cheers from the audience.

Chen Ran defeated Federer again 3-1 and won his third Wimbledon title, which is also his thirteenth Grand Slam title.

The achievement of three-lap Grand Slam has been officially achieved.

This final was a little thrilling, but compared to the thrilling five-set battle in the French Open final a month ago, this level of thrill was nothing.

"Roger, at least this year you caused me a little more trouble than last year, but that's all."

……

PS: I just briefly mentioned the Wimbledon final. I tried to finish the 2007 season as soon as possible. The current protagonist will only face some challenges on clay courts.
