God of Tennis

It was a full day ahead of the ATP500 Seoul Open and the inaugural Games in Korea. In the auditorium of NK Sun Sudan near Jamsil East, Songpa-gu, it was crowded with crowds, not times. They're not different. They're a sports newspaper, a broadcaster, that was overtaken by Shin Se-yeon for nearly two weeks.

They were reporters.

Among them were GBC's sports journalists, Kim Woo Bin, and the road to death, who had come to cover the Tokyo Open in the past. They mutter in a small voice as they see their colleagues filling the auditorium.

“Hey, check it out. Isn't that reporter Lee Sin-wook from Sports Consideration? ”

“Oh, it's true. Isn't reporter Hwang Young-ho supposed to be in charge here? Was there an Insaidong?”

“Rumor has it he got fired for soliciting an interview. It was a little less human. ”

“That's retribution.”

They spend some time talking about their usual business partners. It would have been even more fun if he had known that he had been rude to Han Woo-jin, the main character in the interview today.

Some people were happy to meet each other in the long run. Reporters in the original tennis sector rarely stayed in the country. With the exception of Kim, there was no player to cover, and the level of the contest was not high either.

Today you can see ATP leagues on the other side of the globe. There were never many people who would spend time in domestic futures or challenger leagues that remained unchanged. So we have to travel abroad to find more eye-catching stories.

Ahn Hyeong-jun, a journalist from SBC Sports who was covering the Argentine Open winners last week, was one of them. Instead of talking to a group of acquaintances, he is unlucky to look around the suntanned auditorium.

“I didn't know there was going to be such a place in Korea. I thought it was going to take another 10 years. ”

He was truly amazed. After my career, it was Ahn Hyeong-jun who could be placed on the same line compared to Kim Sang-pil.

Even so, at the ATP500 Seoul Open, there was no choice but to rush home because the soles of the feet were on fire - the most exclusive event of the 2000s.

The Seoul Open was the biggest event in the Korean tennis industry in history. It was my first time in an ATP league, and it was not 250 but 500. Plus, Chairman Jo expanded to his Savvy, and the Jamsil Olympic Tennis Stadium has been on the topic for a long time.

It's been a long time.

‘Though I've heard that the chairman of NK products is a tennis prodigy · · I never expected to invest in such a scale. ’

In fact, the first performer was the chairman of the group at the Seoul Open.

Had it not been for the original expanded stadium, he would not have been able to pass the rigorous standards brought by the ATP's judges, and his passion for investing was fruitful. The stadium, which has been expanded to accommodate more than 10,000 people, is more than the size of Korea's famous baseball or soccer stadium.

I was proud of it.

However, if there had been no second contributor, there would not have been a Seoul Open today. A new player who made me see Korea again, which had been treated as a defense of tennis, was now a second contributor who would be better suited to the word "sacred."

· · · Hanwoojin. ”

A very large Korean newcomer with a world ranking of 54 in less than two years. He had already won two ATP250 leagues how long it had been since the season began.

And if you continue to score points smoothly, you will have time to enter the city around the French Open sooner or Wimbledon later. You have the right to step into the Grand Slam.

‘Sang-pil Kim, I should have known when he got snowed in. ’

Ahn Hyeong-jun only tasted a few times looking at Kim Sang-pil who was sitting in a distant seat. It was hard to think that Kim Sang-pil, who took a few exclusive interviews, had nothing to do with the crowded side. Now, it was obvious that there was no income to approach late.

Moreover, Han Woo-jin was a rising figure. Journalists are weak to the strong and strong to the weak. If there was no room to catch the pods, they were the ones who lowered their heads. This particular leader, Han Woo-jin, was like holding a journalist's collar in his hands. Yam

I was lucky to pick up a few words that I was throwing at him.

At that time, the voice of a calm woman resounded through the outer walls of the auditorium, which were buzzing with reporters.

[Oh, Mike test. One, two.]

Suddenly, the eyes of the silent reporters gathered in one place. There, on the platform, was the owner of the voice just before.

The black suit was dressed in a bright way, and the hair tied up slightly backwards was impressive. She looks around the intestine a few times with a doll-faced face, realizing that her story has become an environment worth listening to. If you've been stalling longer than this, you can complain.

A person can be born who holds him in his arms.

[Thank you to the journalists for finding NK vehicles early in the morning. Today's interview will be integrated for the schedule of Han Woojin players, and each media company will be given a total of three questions. If you defame a player or take offensive statements, i.e.

Please note that you may be expelled from the city.]

Most of the older journalists were unworthy, but they did not dispute openly. It was because Han Woo-jin had always been in charge. If he refuses here for no reason and stops interviewing, all the hard work he has done for the special is in vain.

It's free to be molested by the rest of the press.

Did he say silence is positive?

After her remarks, the reporters settled down, and Shin Se-yeon put down the microphone and walked away.

And at the same time, today's protagonist appeared.

[Hello, I'm Han Woo-jin, a professional tennis player from NK Shipbuilding.]

The cameramen gathered outside raised the camera and set up the tripods. The flash burst, creating a press conference of some kind. The flashes of flashing lights proved that dozens of photos are being taken per second.

Eliminating the illusion that the sun was rising in the room, Han Woo-jin vomited again.

[From now on, we will conduct an interview for exactly 2 hours. We appreciate your cooperation in expedited processing. Please do not take any photos during the Q&A.]

It was the beginning of the interview.

* * *

“Hanwoojin, are you going to the ATP500 Seoul Open? ”

The first question that came out was brief and very natural. If I was wrong, would the person who appeared to be a senior journalist have beaten the head of the reporter who was sitting at the end of the question?

Han Woo-jin relieved that the difficult question didn't come out from the beginning. If I give it back in short form, I have too much time left. I was going to answer with a long sentence, even if I thought about it face-to-face.

[Yes, I'm in. Already assigned to seed 9, and the ninth inning is the first round of the game.]

The noise in the auditorium is briefly noisy with the sound of blind pens and rattling laptops. The journalists, who wrote his answer without forgetting a single letter, once again raised their hands and threw themselves to the next question.

Soon the second authorised journalist stood up and asked the question again.

“You returned home as soon as you won the Brazilian Open, is it because of this competition? ”

[Yes, I received a request from the crew and I accepted it. The first ATP league in the country seems to be a little ahead of their game.]

In fact, after Chairman Jo called him in, he gave him his own notice.

But I couldn't say it straight away. Han Woo-jin gave me a plausible excuse. If he had a frown on his face, he would have noticed something strange, but unfortunately, he is also an expert on facial expressions. Journalists just write down their notebooks saying, "Yes."

It was.

So many times, questions and answers came and went. There were ordinary questions, questions about privacy, questions that were poked and provoked.

Among them, he returned detailed answers to questions about the doping test. It was to completely prevent any unnecessary words from coming out later.

[· · The Association has delivered an apology with proof of my complete negligence. If you still need confirmation, we can also show you the document in person if you would like to come forward after the interview.]

“Hmph, Hmph. Okay, sorry, Hanwoojin. I guess I shouldn't have said that. ”

If I came out so boldly, I would be anxious from the side that I stabbed. The reporter who asked the question looked down at the floor with a red face. Maybe he doesn't have any more cards to show for it. Han Woo-jin glanced at the winner and loser in a clear situation. I was looking for a journalist to ask next.

The reporter on the left with the red framed glasses?]

The designated journalist quickly got up and opened his mouth, whether he had good experience. However, his voice was loud and his voice was not shaking at all, even though the streets were quite clear. I felt like I could do an announcement.

“Han Woo-jin is the only Korean in the first ATP League in Korea, and I'm curious how he feels. ”

In a way, it was an ordinary question. And you were hoping for a normal answer. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm still weak, but I will show my pride in Korea as best I can. Questions that require that kind of answer

It was a typical question that was used all the time, even though it was corny.

However, Han Woo-jin did not immediately respond, but glanced at the reporters in the auditorium.

They didn't expect a dull answer and come here. It was clear that a new generation named Han Woo-jin was looking forward to what his ambition would be. The answer that I spit out was not able to move their minds.

‘Let's throw it first. ’

Han Woo-jin gripped the microphone with a strong grip. This was to prevent the voice from shaking because of the traffic or the microphone shaking.

[It's not always different. In any competition in any country, I will participate as a professional tennis player, and I will do my best to win the cup.]

This time it was the journalists' turn. They only knew that Han Woo-jin would answer like any other athlete. He was also a huge ATP500. It was not a proper contest to keep the cup in your mouth. It was enough to just say I would try.

The hand quickly rises, and another questioner rises up.

“Han Woo-jin, did you know that Angie Roddick has announced her intentions at the Seoul Open? ”

[Yes, I know.]

The answer came right back. Expecting some reaction, the reporter who threw the rice cake sat back with a blank face. It was Angie Roddick who sat on the throne until Roger showed up. You watch a player like that play and then you put a win in his mouth? It was hard to imagine.

However, Han Woo-jin had another drink there to become. He raises his voice, placing even the names of the other rankers on his mouth.

[It's not just Angie Roddick. She knows that in 11th place, Robin Jokovich, 15th place, Cedric Burnett, and many other rankers are participating in the Seoul Open.]

Yes, I knew that already. Angie Roddick, Robbins Jokovich. It is Han Woojin who knows the value of the enemies he will face more than anyone. The knowledge of the future was remembering their potential, whether they knew it or not. I wish I had more fear than any other athlete.

Plus, he couldn't be less.

Nevertheless, I didn't think Hanwoojin's voice would weaken.

[Player climbs on his coat to win. That's not an exception for me, and it has nothing to do with anyone. And even if we run into Roger, not Roddick, we're going to win the racket. And · · ·]

The unknown player is like that.

Why do you need a game if you're going to win or lose before you start a fight?

Even if you are in a disadvantage, even if you know your opponent is better than you. It was the man who deserved to be on this stage without convincing it.

I'm stronger than you.

To prove this one sentence, many athletes still hold different rackets today.

So this is your ticket.

It is a separation from the Han Woojin of the past who had been trapped in his shell, fearing the vast world, and proclaiming about those who had no choice but to lift up and worship like the heavens.

[· · · This Seoul Open, I will win.]

Exactly three seconds after Hanwoojin finished speaking, hundreds of flashes erupted.

Finish
