Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 714 A Bold Idea
So far, Chen Ran has won at least three Grand Slam titles in eight years in his career, and in 8 he completed the annual Grand Slam.
Now, at the age of 36, he still won three championships in one year by properly allocating his physical energy, which is enough to make the whole world exclaim a miracle.
Of course, it's not just Chen Ran. Federer also won two titles in one year when he was over 35 years old.
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that Chen Ran, who surpasses Federer in talent, physique, and technology, won three championships in one year.
What's more, when Federer was 35 years old, the other three giant players were around 30 years old, and the competitive environment at that time was completely different from today.
Now there are only the suppressed post-90s generation and the still immature post-00s generation.
With Djokovic's absence, Chen Ran was simply unstoppable.
"First of all, congratulations on winning your 36th Grand Slam title. It's another three titles in one year, a great achievement." The American host first praised him, and then changed the subject, "But Chen... Does Novak's absence make this championship lack some gold content?"
You see, these Americans are starting to make trouble again.
After all, they hoped to see the new king ascend the throne in Flushing Park, but he was brutally beaten by Chen Ran instead.
"This... didn't you ban Novak? I also want to play against him. The decision is not ours." Chen Ran shrugged, looking a little amused. "I know Novak's temper, and I can understand his decision."
In fact, he really wanted to say that this vaccine is of no use at all.
But reason prevented him from saying this out loud, so as to avoid causing a storm in public opinion.
"Do you support him not to get vaccinated? But you are a Chinese..." The American took the opportunity to set the tone and dig holes.
Chen Ran glanced at him with an expression that was completely like he was looking at an idiot, and replied: "Didn't you understand? I said understanding, not support. After all, not all Americans or Chinese people have been vaccinated. There will always be some who are missed."
"Novak just wants to be one of them. Besides, he is Serbian. Since the Serbian government has not asked for it, we outsiders should not say anything."
After a pause, Chen Ran continued the previous topic: "Also, you said this championship has no gold content? But judging from the ticket price of this final, it is very valuable."
"I remember the ticket price for this match was the highest in the past ten years of the US Open!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the fans at the scene immediately began to boo wildly.
You are going too far, you are rubbing salt into our wounds!
Chen Ran was making a blatant mockery.
If you think this championship is of low value, then why are your ticket prices so high?
It's a pit you have no choice but to jump into.
"Yes, I think it's very valuable." The American host rubbed the sweat off his forehead and said, "After all, Alcaraz is a future giant and the first person born after 00, so this ticket is worth it."
An old guy like this who has played in ATP for so many years is indeed very cunning.
If you are not careful, you may become the host.
So don't provoke them easily.
Chen Ran also took this opportunity to trick the US Open Organizing Committee, asking them to sell tickets at high prices, which means they must acknowledge the value of this championship.
You also don't want to be yelled at by those picky New York audiences: RNM, give your money back!
……
Chen Ran ended the season with 36 Grand Slam titles and returned directly to Australia on a private jet.
It is now the second half of 2022, and he is well aware that the domestic quarantine policy will change soon, and the China season will return next year.
He just needs to wait patiently.
In 2022, he basically wandered abroad and never returned to China.
Of course, the gains are very obvious.
At the age of 36, he won three Grand Slams in one year.
Djokovic did this in his previous life, and I can do it too. I still have to think long-term about what to do next year.
For the whole world, this is a normal year after recovering from the epidemic.
Djokovic actually didn't play well this year and his physical condition was not seriously exhausted. He is holding his breath and is preparing for a big performance next year.
Shortly after Chen Ran won the US Open, Djokovic said in an interview that he was in good competitive form this year, but he had to play against him only once at Wimbledon, and he was looking forward to next year.
However, Chen Ran actually thought further.
When accepting a remote interview with domestic media, Chen Ran said that he would make some adjustments and return to China soon.
"I've been wandering outside for almost a year, so I will withdraw from the remaining competitions this year and will not participate in the year-end finals." Chen Ran replied very affirmatively.
"I'm already planning next year's competition, or even the year after..."
"The year after next?" The reporter did not understand what Chen Ran meant for a moment.
"The tennis tournament of the Paris Olympics will be held at Roland Garros next year, and I want to treat it as my farewell match!"
The year after next I will be 38 years old.
When Federer was 38 years old, he still maintained an excellent competitive form and reached the Grand Slam finals.
Chen Ran also wants to prove that he has better competitiveness at the age of 38.
He continued slowly: "My original goal was to play until I was 35, but fortunately I stayed on the court much longer than originally planned, so what else can I not be satisfied with?"
"I won my first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, and I also want to make Roland Garros my farewell performance."
"To hold the Olympic tennis competition at Roland Garros is an opportunity that only comes once in a century!"
The reporter who was interviewing the question suddenly realized.
Indeed, ending Chen Ran's brilliant career at Roland Garros is a perfect ending that couldn't be more perfect.
Especially since this is an Olympic Games held in this legendary stadium, it is a rare opportunity.
“So, you won’t be playing in the 2024 US Open?”
"Yes, the Paris Olympics is my last stop, and I hope it will have a perfect result." Chen Ran smiled, "My dream started and ended at Roland Garros."
The reporter who conducted the interview was from CCTV.
He was also very excited to get such a headline.
Since Chen Ran said so, he has already made up his mind to make the Paris Olympics his farewell performance.
"So my preparations for the next two years will revolve around the Paris Olympics."
The reporter continued, "If... I mean, if you can win a gold medal in the Paris Olympics, is there a more perfect farewell performance than this?"
Chen Ran smiled and didn't reply.
But it’s actually a default.
His goal is to win his fourth men's singles gold medal at the Roland Garros Stadium in the Paris Olympics.
Four Olympic singles gold medals, corresponding to the four Grand Slams, is there a more perfect ending than this?
