God of Tennis

Australia's intense sunlight had been beating for hours, and the coat was still rising. The blue coat wafts and the white line drawn around becomes even. Sometimes it flies over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Only two athletes were exceptional.

Pa-ang!

The ball, which had crossed the net several times, suddenly accelerated into Hanwoojin's racket and lowered into Marcos' sideline. Shot of the drive that Han Woo-jin hit with his two hands. And Marcos is not intact.

There was no response.

“Love Thirty (0: 30)! ”

The harsh declaration of judgment declared the score. Despite Marcos' unbreakable determination, there was no chance that the game had begun to tilt once.

Most of what was originally real was that law. There were situations that couldn't be overcome by diligence or effort alone, and there were limitations. No matter how hard Marcos tries, he can't help but notice that the situation is already at the edge of the cliff.

There was no chin to flip.

I was reminded of the number of new 41s that were recorded according to the score. It was more pressing than one set that was unilaterally overwhelmed. Han Woo-jin knows that Marcos can't afford to go any further, but he won't slow down.

I did. I cut off the rally with more and more force.

‘I pushed you all the way here, but you don't want to quit · · I really want to end it. Why? "

Honestly, Hanwoojin was even curious about Marcos' relentless struggle.

As soon as Marcos had finished the set, there was nothing strange about it. No one could blame him for walking away from here. It was clear that my strength was low. You don't have to drag Rally in for a win.

I wasn't Lee, and I was sure it would only interfere with the schedule for the next season.

No, there was one exception.

Are you thinking of finishing the season for the last time? Then I understand the feeling of not wanting to give up. ’

That doesn't make any sense. You don't want to wear the last game of the season as a banner. Moreover, Marcos had an unknown ambition against him. I don't want to end a battle with someone like that in vain.

W. It was a foolish choice, but Han Woo-jin who had a similar experience couldn't look at it negatively.

Even though it's already a year ago, I can remember that day's battle vividly when I close my eyes.

The history of the encounter at the indoor stadium of NK Vehicle appeared to be an unbeatable wall. He grabbed the knee and grabbed the ball. He's never been more desperate in his entire life than he was then.

The illusion of Marcos' eyes cannot be the only thing that overlaps with his own. There was also a reason why Han Woo-jin was rarely able to lose his strength in playing.

By the way, did you say you saw yourself last year? ’

It was a clever thing. Marcos saw himself last year in Hanwoojin, and Hanwoojin also looked back at himself last year as immature. Maybe the reason the two of you are refusing to step away from each other right now is based on that.

I might bet.

At that moment, the cheerful sound of the ball cut off Han Woojin's thoughts that continued to bite his tail.

Paan!

“Han Test Game! 51! ”

The sixth game was also in his hands, watching the end of the game. Given the speed at which points are coming and going, a battle will occur within the next 15 minutes.

With such certainty, Hanwoojin took a brief break and slighted Marcos as he slashed his thirsty neck. It was because I had remembered one fact that I had forgotten.

‘I didn't see any special skills after all. ’

Markus' status window clearly contained special skills. It could have been a technique that was not fully flowering like that of Okuda, or it could have been an unusable technique in a physically problematic situation. Or is that how defeat is determined?

I didn't think it would be a shame to show it to you.

Hanwoojin was a member of the same strike family as himself, and even his kidneys were rare. So I thought there might be something to refer to, but I didn't think I'd have a chance today.

“Game 7! Player Ready!”

The referee finally calls them back into his coat. Unlike breaks between sets, breaks between games end quickly. Marcos returns to the road without a bird to trim, breathing heavily, and looks at the reddened eyes.

“· · · I have to make you comfortable. ”

The opposing Pokémon never willingly surrenders.

Then I have no choice but to let you leave.

The angled Han Woo-jin throws the ball up. Over time, the tilted sunlight casts an oval shadow. But even for a moment, a fierce blow from the racket struck the side of the ball.

Pa-ang!

The game restarted with the intense Ace of Service by Han Woojin.

And as everyone expected, the outcome was not reversed.

“Han Test Game! Match won by Ujin Han, 63, 61! ”

Match points were reorganized as‘ bastards’. Hanwoojin could feel his breath rising even though he had won unilaterally. It seemed like the audience wasn't the only one who was pressured by Marcos' relentless determination.

On the contrary, he had no time to spare.

‘History, did you feel this way too? ’

Is it often called Behind Pressure? The uncertain pressure that athletes often feel when they are chasing them behind. It was why Han Woo-jin was not relaxed from Marcos all the time. Choi of the Day

I also wondered if history felt like this.

Han Woo-jin realized his consumption shortly after the game was over. I used my breathing and muscles more than I expected. It's a relief that if you had to go through something as extreme as last season,

It was almost difficult. That's when Marcos approaches, fixing the mess he's in.

“· · · It was a good match. Mr. Han."

“Oh, Marcos. ”

He was wrapped up in darkness somewhere. It seemed to bother me that the topic of the curious conversation became a one-sided match. The user may feel some kind of blame for disappointing the target.

‘You don't have to look like that. ’

I felt bad for now.It's not just his fault that he didn't do everything he could. Rather, it was not strange to turn this defeat to the responsibility of the opposition. It was said to be good luck, but it was also difficult to convince easily. Like Marcos.

It is unusual to be bold.

Han Woo-jin felt that he shouldn't change his face in such a hurry. It was not what the winner wanted to see the end of this unfamiliar ending. Han Woo-jin has yet to see the prowess of Marcos Bodyshi and today's victory.

tended to be followed by luck. After seeing the end like this, there was no way I could have been proud to go anywhere and defeat Marcos.

So Han Woo-jin reached out his hand. He then reflectively looks at Marcos holding hands and spits out a few words in a strong tone. The grip grips the opposing Pokémon's rough palm without even knowing it.

“Let's have another match, Mr. Bodysy. ”

Another time.

Marcos understands what he might have said in vain. He feels something hot inside his chest and squeezes his fist tightly.

“Yes, Mr. Han. Someday again."

The world of tennis is wide and narrow. The top rankers will eventually have to face the top rankers. When the season is over and the season begins again, there is an opportunity to meet again somewhere. bump, bump, bump, bump.

In some ways, the world of professional tennis players may be a match for the phrase "Dead".

Together with the closing doors of Sydney International, the two are on their way back.

Waiting for the day to cross again.

* * *

After the finals, Han Woo-jin was only able to return to his accommodation after the year was over, dealing with the awards ceremonies and extraterrestrial journalists who had come to Australia to find out where he had heard from. I was about to become exhausted.

However, Han Woo-jin was not uncomfortable with the intense fatigue. It was evidence of beating the ATP250 league, as well as the voice of a joyful woman in front of his eyes made his ears joyful.

Shin Se-yeon congratulated you for clearing rank by adding 250 ATP points this time. She also seemed quite excited, but her voice was slightly raised. The voices in the room resonate like droplets in the air.

I was rolling.

“Congratulations, Woojin! This seats you in the 60th place. At this rate, we might be able to get into Grand Slam Seed in no time. ”

There was a reason why Shin Se-yeon was in this color. Even in non-Grand Slam events, Sid was important, but not as important as in Grand Slam.

Unlike the rest of the Games, Grand Slam's home base has an enormous number of seats compared to the 32 standard ATP leagues - a bar with a majestic layout of 128, not 64.

It's a Grand Slam of Lo Tennis. If you don't get the Seed, you'll still be dead by the 16th. So I had no choice but to capture Sid and become more important.

And the ranking that Han Woo-jin is aiming for in the first half was around the top 30. The criteria for setting a seed were quite different among the Grand Slams, but within the top 30 of the world rankings it was almost certain. This Sydney In

National victories were an important step forward.

“You've only just taken your first step. Thank you for choosing the competition well. ”

“Aigoo, you're being modest. You think it's okay to brag about yourself like this? ”

Shin Se-yeon quietly waved her hand, but in this victory, she also had a lot of balls. It was like trying to hit the niche market at the opening of the Australian Open. I just wanted to unwind like Radar, like Marcos or here for the season.

There were no worthy obstacles except for the player who participated for Lee.

The two people who gave each other gold on each other's faces suddenly felt embarrassed and stopped speaking. The horses that were originally woken up by the atmosphere were always embarrassed after the atmosphere had subsided.

Hanwoojin glanced around with a shy face, and said to change the subject.

“Hmm · · · There is no schedule until February now, right? ”

“Oh, yes. Yeah, well, Sydney International didn't do any warm-ups this time, so you don't have a competition until February, and you just have to get yourself warmed up. ”

Honestly, Shin Se-yeon didn't expect Han Woo-jin to win. Even if the majority of the top rankers are missing, there aren't more than a handful of rankers. Radar, Marcos, Jimmy Blake, you name it.

It was.

Sydney International's victory was a delightful mishap. In Shin Se-yeon, the evaluation of Han Woo-jin took a step up. Though her assessment of world-friendly talent hasn't changed in a long time, she's grown more than she expected.

This was fast.

Han Woojin's voice flowed into Shin Se-yeon's ears, who was cold to his player's blessings again.

It was something I didn't want to hear.

“Se-yeon, shall we go and see the Australian Open? Looks like we started the mainline yesterday. ”

“Ho, Australia Open? ”

It was a strange reaction at first glance. There was no way Han Woo-jin, who was more noticeable than everyone else, could not have noticed. The usual poker face was subtly grinning at where it had gone. I think I know something Han Woo-jin doesn't know.

It looked like there was. If it were completely concealed, I wouldn't have said anything, but I couldn't really decide what to do.

“· · · What's happening at the Australian Open? ”

In the end, Han Woo-jin decided to ask. It was okay if she said she wouldn't tell me. It must have been something that didn't benefit him. I didn't even want to ask about that kind of story.

Shin Se-yeon, who was complaining for a moment, sighed deeply. Then shortly thereafter, I opened my mouth. A bold voice silenced the atmosphere that was floating.

“I also heard from Senior Teacher Joon-sung. It might be bothered to hear from Woojin. At least I didn't want to say it until after the competition. ”

“What news? ”

Even more curious, Han Woo-jin asked the question again, and she closed her eyes deeply and replied.

“Our most recurring player has attended the Australian Open, and we've already passed the first round, and we'll probably do the second round tomorrow. ”

End
