Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 690: Crying PLAN is not enough, and now PLAN is hurt
In just the first set, Chen Ran gave Murray a beating with an extremely ferocious attitude.

Looking around the stands, many fans were covering their faces and remained silent.

They thought the match would be very difficult and exciting, but they did not expect that Murray, who was in good form, would lose so badly in the first set of this crucial final.

It's the final again, at home, and on the grass court that Murray is good at.

Many people thought this should have been a evenly matched contest.

What's more, they bet that Chen Ran would be affected by external factors.

But the reality is the opposite of what we want.

Is he really unbeatable on grass?

During the break, Murray, who had no more room to retreat, started crying sadly again.

This was even more sad and miserable than the crying she did in the semi-final against Federer.

If some outsiders who don't know the truth see this scene, they would think that Chen Ran is playing the role of a villain who bullies honest people.

"I'm really fucking stupid..." Chen Ran took a sip of water slowly, glancing at Murray from the corner of his eye, "You're not going to cry and fight during the next game, are you?"

He felt that Murray was crying so sadly because he was expressing his true feelings, but the guy had tasted success in the semi-finals, so he did not suppress his emotions and just went with the flow.

Murray must still be holding on to a lucky mentality, hoping that this "crying plan" can have the same effect.

He couldn't possibly be so heartless, especially since the other party didn't need the Olympic gold medal, but he did.

Of course, Murray is also ready to go all out.

Chen Ran’s guess turned out to be correct.

At the beginning of the second set, Murray was wiping his tears while playing against himself, and his condition was surprisingly excellent, much better than the first set.

In fact, Murray played quite well in the first set, but he met Chen Ran, who was in hot form and full of momentum.

In Chen Ran's first service game, Murray got a break point.

This was also the first time he got a break point in the entire game.

Murray excitedly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then roared loudly with a hint of tears in his voice, as if he wanted to vent the feeling that had been suppressed for a long time.

On a grass court, it is very difficult to get a break point in Chen Ran's serve.

In the past few years of the Wimbledon Open, only a few top grass court players such as Djokovic and Federer have gotten break points and completed the break.

"Wait, this seems to be the first time Murray and Chen Ran got a break point in the match at Wimbledon?" The British host at the scene was also surprised to find this.

Because the tennis competition of this Olympics was held on grass, this Olympic tennis event can also be equated with an alternative "Wimbledon Championships".

The next time an Olympic tennis match is to be held on a Grand Slam court, it will have to wait until the 2024 Paris Olympics on clay courts.

"I hope Murray can continue his momentum..." The host's words suddenly stopped.

Because Chen Ran directly served the ball and saved his break point.

At the same time, he was complaining in his mind: It wasn't a break, it was just a break point, why is this Scotsman so excited!

Chen Ran was also annoyed by Murray's crying.

I've been playing tennis for ten years, and this is the first time I've encountered a guy who cries while playing. He's so damn pretentious.

This kind of plot shouldn't happen in the WTA, right? Is this also the case in the ATP?
Chen Ran really wants to say, if you want to stay calm, go play in the WTA.

In the women's tennis world, there are quite a few bitchy players who will cry and then eliminate their opponents.

Da Da Da~
Chen Ran hit the tennis ball and observed Murray's position.

At this moment, he actually knew that Murray, who was playing at home and in the Olympic final, had a huge mental bonus.

In his previous life, Federer was upset by Murray's "crying plan" in the final and achieved a Jedi reversal.

Some people joked that Federer was soft-hearted and deliberately let the game go.

There will definitely be no release of water.

After all, it has come to this point, who doesn't want to win the gold medal? Besides, at that time, Federer just lacked an Olympic men's singles gold medal.

But the gap between top players is actually very small. Especially when both teams are in good competitive form, any insignificant detail may determine the trend of the game.

Once you are accidentally broken by your opponent, it may be difficult to break back.

Chen Ran also observed Murray's condition, which was obviously much better than in the first set.

He knew that it would be much more difficult to break the serve in this set than in the first set.

If he was not careless this time and was broken by Murray, it would be extremely difficult for him to break back under such momentum.

So Chen Ran did not dare to be careless at all.

At critical moments, in order to improve the success rate of his first serve, he did not simply pursue extreme power and speed, but focused on the landing point and rotation.

Serving is a profound art.

This time, Chen Ran tried to establish an advantage in the first shot by serving, and then score points in the subsequent shots.

He is very skilled and bold, and this way of serving was beyond Murray's expectations.

At the critical moment, Chen Ran would rather slow down the ball speed and increase the success rate of the first serve.

Because Murray was quite successful in grabbing second serve in the second set.

Soon, Chen Ran found an opening in the sixth round of confrontation between the two sides and killed the opponent with one strike.

From break point to hold point, it happened in a flash.

At this moment, Murray had no time to cry.

He was also confused by Chen Ran's sudden change in serving strategy.

All I can say is that Chen Ran’s arsenal is really rich.

Murray is very confused now. When he receives the serve, he is not in a good position to stand too far or too close, as the opponent's serve is too varied.

While he was daydreaming, the tennis ball flew past his eyes like a cannonball, leaving him no time to react.

Then the next second, the referee indicated that the ball hit the net and needed to be replayed.

"The net was wiped, is this true?"

Chen Ran looked up and asked the referee, and the referee nodded very affirmatively.

In fact, Chen Ran felt that the ball did not hit the net, but whether the serve hit the net or not is entirely determined by the referee, and there is no need for "Hawkeye replay"

“Maybe this is the home field advantage.”

Chen Ran didn't care and just shrugged. He had a bullet in his hand anyway.

An ace was called, and this time he served an outside corner ball with strong sidespin.

The ball slowed down a bit, only about 190 kilometers, but its landing and rotation were so perfect that it directly carried Murray's entire body far away from the court.

Chen Ran's transition from serving to hitting the ball was absolutely top-notch, very smooth and skillful. Faced with a huge gap, he didn't hesitate to kill it with one shot.

At the same time, Murray was in a hurry to save the ball, and the grass was more slippery than hard court and red clay, so he slipped and fell.

Then, this guy just lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Chen Ran threw the ball in his hand directly to the line judge and prepared to return to his seat.

However, the audience began to curse at him.

"Why don't you have any compassion?"

"Your opponent fell to the ground, why didn't you go over and show some concern."

"Cruel fellow!"

At this time, Chen Ran realized that Murray had been lying on the ground since he slipped.
