Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 700 Why do Chen Ran and Nadal look like two generations?
At the 2015 Paris Masters, Chen Ran once again swept Dimitrov and kept him out of the finals.

This is also Dimitrov's sixteenth consecutive defeat against Chen Ran.

The guy didn't seem sad, but asked in surprise: "Chen...are you still in touch with Maria? I haven't contacted her for a long time."

"..." Chen Ran suddenly didn't know what to say.

What does it have to do with you whether I have contact with Sharapova or not? Besides, you two have broken up for a while.

In fact, last year, Sharapova sent text messages to Chen Ran and complained about Dimitrov.

“Why would this guy fall for Xiao Wei, a chimpanzee?”

"Chen...if it were you, you wouldn't even look at the other person, right?"

The Russian beauty was also deeply shocked. She never dreamed that Serena Williams would become the third party between them. She even suspected that Dimitrov was a pervert.

So, she decisively ended the relationship and went to Chen Ran to complain.

Sharapova firmly believed that Chen Ran would never have such a strong taste.

However, Sharapova, who was angry at the time, also said some "racially discriminatory" words.

If Chen Ran made the contents of these text messages public, it would be a devastating blow to her, and even the sponsors would cancel the endorsement contract.

Of course, Sharapova trusts Chen Ran very much, and even if the two of them don't end up together, the other party will not frame her.

Chen Ran did not let Sharapova down. After comforting her, he decisively deleted those text messages that could not be seen by the public.

At this moment, Dimitrov is actually still entangled with Serena Williams.

In the words of elder sister Gao Xiumin: Brother, if you do this, you are really a man!

"You know, I'm a very private person, so there's nothing much to say about these things." Chen Ran shrugged, his refusal was obvious.

Seeing this, Dimitrov had nothing to say.

In short, his reputation as a "scumbag" and a "heartless man" will always remain.

In fact, he was a little speechless. After all, the rumors of a love triangle between Chen Ran, Sharapova, and Ivanovic were also very sensational, and even the popular French actress Alizee was involved.

Why doesn't anyone call him a scumbag? This is really double standards and so unfair.

Is it because Chen Ran’s results are too brilliant?
Maybe.

In competitive sports, people only look at the results, it is so superficial!

Compared with Chen Ran, my achievements are indeed like a firefly compared to the light of the sun and the moon.

A day later, Chen Ran defeated Nadal and won the Paris Masters for the fifth time, and his world ranking returned to first place.

At the age of 29, he returned to the top.

This is naturally something to be celebrated.

The Paris Masters championship trophy has always been very distinctive, and it can even be said to be the most distinctive of the ten ATP Masters tournaments so far, just like a pot of coral.

As for Nadal, he actually won the Wimbledon championship this year while Chen Ran was taking a nap. He also became the fourth active player to complete the Grand Slam after Chen Ran, Federer and Djokovic.

In his previous life, Nadal was the first of the Big Three to complete the Grand Slam, and in this time and space, he was the last of the Big Four to achieve it.

Likewise, the Spanish king's indoor hard court level may be his only shortcoming.

In his previous life, Nadal was the only one among the Big Three who failed to win the Paris Masters or the year-end finals.

In this time and space, he still failed to win the Paris Masters and the year-end finals, and he went from being the only one among the Big Three to being the only one among the Big Four.

So the Spanish superstar could only force a smile while holding a plate at the award ceremony.

The title of "indoor rookie" will always accompany Nadal.

"Rafael, it seems that even Chen Ran's doubles partner Stan Wawrinka has won the Paris Masters and the year-end finals."

Facing the reporter's ridicule, Nadal could only bring up his uncle to retort: ​​"The year-end finals were tried on indoor grass before, but why is there no indoor clay? This is prejudice, this is discrimination, it is unfair to my nephew."

"Dude...don't forget that your nephew only has four French Opens, while Chen Ran has five. Five is greater than four!"

Nadal's uncle was so angry that he was speechless.

But he also has to admit a reality. As Nadal gets older, the possibility of his nephew winning the Paris Masters or the year-end finals has been decreasing.

Especially as he gets older than 30, this possibility is decreasing. …

Half a month later, London, England.

Chen Ran won the year-end finals championship for the sixth time.

This is the seventh year since the year-end finals moved from China's Magic City to London, England.

In order to retain the year-end finals, London not only offered high prize money and appearance fees, but also made concessions on tax rates.

In the past seven years, Chen Ran has won the year-end finals championship three times.

Including the three consecutive championships during the period held in Shanghai, the total number of times is 6.

In addition, he completed the feat of winning the Paris Masters and the year-end finals back-to-back twice.

The opponent he defeated in the final was none other than his old rival Nadal.

In fact, Nadal has been in great form this season, except for the time when he was defeated by Chen Ran in the French Open.

He defeated Federer and Chen Ran in Wimbledon, and also defeated Djokovic in the Australian Open final, winning two Grand Slam titles in one year.

The 29-year-old Nadal has also reached the peak of his career.

Of course, there are also rumors that Nadal has obtained a license to take drugs in private, which is why this guy is already 29 years old, but his physical fitness is even more terrible than when he was 19 years old.

However, Nadal flatly denied this statement and hinted through the media that it must be the fans of Chen Ran, Federer and Djokovic who were spreading rumors.

Even Uncle Tony bluntly said: "The reason these fans dare to spread rumors so recklessly is that they must have received the tacit approval and connivance of those three people."

However, Chen Ran and the other three did not raise any questions openly.

But Chen Ran did find something unusual.

Why is it that among the four of us, Federer is the oldest, but you, a Spaniard, are the one who looks the oldest and most haggard?
When thinking about past lives, both the retired Federer and the currently playing Djokovic look very young, but Nadal, who has not yet retired, not only has a large bald spot on his scalp, but also looks very old.

He looked so haggard, as if he was not playing tennis, but moving bricks at a construction site every day under the scorching sun.

Licensed drug use is actually no secret in the sports world.

Roddick once confessed to Chen Ran in private that he had taken drugs.

Of course, this cannot improve tennis skills, it can only improve physical fitness.

So he still couldn't beat Chen Ran, so it was okay to be honest.

Roddick also believed that Chen Ran would not be exposed. After all, he was a male servant and would not pose a threat to Chen Ran.

Also due to long-term drug use, Roddick became very bald and haggard. Federer, who is one year older than him, looks much younger and more elegant than him.

What happened to Nadal was very similar to what happened to Roddick.

But Nadal is four years younger than Roddick, yet he looks older and balder than him. It can only be said that he eats more heavily than Roddick.

Chen Ran even felt that the 29-year-old Nadal was in a worse condition than he was at the same age in his previous life.

"Could it be that under my pressure, this guy's drug use became more serious?"

"But even so, he still couldn't change his fate."

Nadal is still out of the running for the Paris Masters or the year-end finals.

Chen Ran suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.

Maybe in his previous life, Nadal felt that if he gritted his teeth, he still had a chance to win the Paris Masters and the year-end finals, so he would take it easy.

But now facing an epic indoor talent like Chen Ran, he might feel that if he doesn't fight harder, he won't have any chance of winning.

But the result proved that even after doing so much, he still couldn't beat Chen Ran.

At the award ceremony, Chen Ran and Nadal stood together and were photographed by reporters.

At this time, a straightforward reporter from The Sun suddenly said: Why do they look like two generations when they are obviously the same age?
……

PS: Nadal is indeed a licensed doper, so it is almost an open secret that he will defend Sinner, but Federer and Djokovic do not. Look at Federer, who is 5 years older than Nadal, but looks even years younger than Nadal.
