God of Tennis

The inside of the vast level Barcelona Academy, including 27 coats, parking lots, and building sites, was filled with silence, not time. Sometimes only the sound of the ball coming from somewhere proves that someone's inside.

I did.

However, Claycourt in the corner, where you follow the sound of the ball, was crowded with quite a large audience.

Only no one was making a sound.

Thud, thud!

The sound of the rough ball echoes again. The ball that was hit at the end of Radar's racket crossed the court at a terrifying speed, even though it wasn't a sweet spot. Plus, it looks like it's a telephone sheath, or it's caught in the head of a racket, and it's eaten by a ball.

Turns stronger. Lucky Shot was the right ball.

This one goes in! ’

Everyone who was watching held a fist in unison. That's how subtle it was.

The stroke, which even Radal himself would not have intended, drew a strange trajectory that no one could have anticipated. If someone wants to get that ball, you can predict its trajectory beforehand, or...

Get it!

- I needed the strength to correct an improper prediction right away.

Pa-ang!

Hanwoojin, who narrowed down the street, cut the ball that had crashed on the sideline as he wrote "Storming." The ball grazed the racket and began to travel backwards in the direction it had flew using the reaction of the spin. Between Opposite

For Radar, who was running from the drain, he had to be one step behind.

Eventually, the ball ran out half way before Radar arrived.

“EightSeven, Radal! ”

Twinkle, twinkle...

In keeping with Emilio's declaration, the crowd applauds. Either way, it was a great battle. I take the ball that I thought I would not be able to get, and the ball is bent at an angle that I had never seen before in my life.

Just before the start of the match, the gossip of Hanwoojin kept their mouths shut, and one day, their palms were soaked with sweat. You can even make fun of yourself if you haven't noticed the difference in skills.

You did. You're clearly better than yourself. You're not as dumb as you think you're going to be against a player.

Meanwhile, Han Woo-jin, who was distributing against Radar on his coat, was holding out his tongue.

‘I'm really fucking strong. Maybe in Clay it's stronger than Pedro in Hardcoat. ’

The score generated by using special skills was 8: 7. It is also a seven on one side. even though the Serve must have been hit with a stunt word, without saving the storming or getting the ball. This score...

It was a testament to the talented difference between Han Woojin and Radal.

Although he judged Radar on the basis of his teaching in Australia, he was truly more than he could have imagined. Even Han Woo-jin, who had grown quite a bit in the Seoul Open Book, was not strong enough to deal with Clay's emperor.

Even in a short tournament where SP doesn't have to be conserved, how about a three-set match?

‘Monte Carlo was right not to leave. ’

Unfortunately, if we run into each other in the first round, that's it. According to Hanwoojin's calculations, it was difficult to completely win 1 battle even if he fought 10 times. Moreover, it was not a favorable condition and it was a disadvantage, so I didn't have to say any more. Radar is still special.

Given that you didn't pull out a single hand move, there is no answer.

However, in contrast to his cold-blooded analysis, the ratings of audiences watching outside the fence were rising without knowing how high the sky was.

“You kicked it out of there? This is ridiculous! ”

“To go against Senor Radar... Does anyone know who this is?" ”

“ I think I've seen it somewhere. ”

Some people also tilted their heads as they looked at Han Woojin's face, which they remembered seeing somewhere. What solved their question was Diego Javier, one of the coaches who had his arms crossed and had a bear in mind.

“ Oh, right! It's him, Woojin Han from Korea! ”

His voice is loud enough to go into the ears of a crowd that was swarming nearby, although it was a quiet tone close to soliloquy. Then, the loud noise raised the volume among the students who learned the identity of Hanwoojin.

“As long as it's Woojin, who is it? ”

“ You know, I beat Angie Roddick this time…"

“Is that him? Really?!"

There were not many people who knew him, but the rate at which information spread was close to the dawn. Less than five minutes later, students rank at the top of the class as Han Woo-jin, and they know what players they've been up against recently.

And then I was able to make sense of the unexplained clot that was unfolding before my eyes.

The 29th place in the world ranking was never a common player. It meant entering within 30 of many professional tennis players around the world. It's also Han Woo-jin who has climbed to the top of his class. Ranking Thread Soon

Not directly by force, but in his case the logic is inversely established.

However, as they predicted one step ahead, the location of the battle was never unclear. Despite Han Woo-jin's increased skills, it was premature to confront Radar in Claycourt.

In front of Hanwoojin, who immediately took the 16th point, he overlapped the racket with the last stroke's trajectory.

Pa-ang!

* * *

“ Woojin, you've grown a lot. ”

“ … really? ”

Hanwoojin grunts, throwing a chubby grilled shrimp in his mouth. 10 points The result of the tie break was 10: 7. It was a battle I thought would be hard to win in the first place, but after losing, it still tasted good.

I wrote this. That's why I heard a loud voice.

Whether he knew it or not, he continued praising you without swallowing everything he put in his mouth. It seemed that everyone was really happy about the progress of Han Woo-jin.

“ It's real. When did you get so good at footwork? I never thought about that slice before! ”

“Hey, what did you say? Tell me when you're done. ”

A scorching soup leaves traces of gaspacho on the tablecloth. However, Han Woo-jin didn't feel bad because he was so happy. Unlike in those days when it was impossible to escape the unilateral sphere, it was a tight tangent. Bourne

Through the mouth of the seal, I felt confident in my abilities that had improved a little.

Emilio, who was also listening to the two conversations next to him, came forward as well.

“" Napa was so excited, it was worth it. I can't believe how hard it must be to play at 10 points, so my students seem to have lost their temper. ”

The battle between Han Woojin and Radal was short enough to end in 20 minutes, but the aftermath was not at all light. At the end of the battle, students returned to class with a few times more enthusiasm than usual. That's how much the two of you compete.

It means it was a good stimulus for them.

Emilio is not a real hero, but he is a worthy opponent for generations of top rankers. After roughly finishing the meal, the words were endless between the three of them. Playing with each other, athletes these days

Trend taxes on the technology used, etc. I could find the story without a grudge if I tried to find it.

Soon, the story moved on to a future schedule. Radar recalled Han Woo-jin's interview after the Seoul Open.

“By the way, Woojin, you're coming to Wimbledon this year, right? ”

“Well, I'm thinking about it. ”

What's the point of denying it in a situation where everything is already spreading? Hanwoojin nods with a thick expression. But he soon changed his face. Radar would have had experience in Wimbledon last year, so this is his chance.

I thought it would be okay to hear a vivid story about London.

“Napa, you were in the contest last year, right? How was it?"

“ What? ”

However, the reaction was strange. Radar, of course, even Emilio, stares at him with a blank face. The sigh of relief tickles his ear right away before Han Woo-jin realizes his statement. Big cosmetic odor

It was her, Shin Se-yeon, who had no room to be mistaken.

“Woojin, Radal is last year's semi-winning Wimbledon. ”

“Ah…. ”

Han Woo-jin was able to understand their reaction only then. How was it with the runner-up last year? It was a good question to disappear. I remember Pedro, the winner, and this mistake is rare.

But it is also Radar. The bowl was different from the ordinary player. He quickly smiled and began to unravel his experience of Wimbledon.

“Wimbledon, I can't say without my coat. Grass isn't everything. Obviously, there's a lot different to the other lawn court competitions. ”

“What's different? ”

“Yes, it's hard to explain in words..."

According to Radar, Wimbledon's grass has a higher bounce than the grass of any other competition. That's why formal service & Bali doesn't work well. It was much more effective for those who exchanged punches near the base line.

I gave a description.

Suddenly, he frowned, explaining Wimbledon for a long time. It reminded me of a bad memory I had in Wimbledon. He shakes his head as he makes a pause in the conversation.

“Still, Bound is nothing compared to Hard or Clay. Roger's backhand got stronger. If it weren't for that, it would have been worth it. ”

“It must have been a shame. ”

“Well, it's not just that. I knocked Roger out of Roland Garros, and the Grand Slam flew in 2006. Who could be more upset? ”

After talking about it, Radar taps the table several times, laughing at how the road feels better.

Wimbledon's victory was impressive, but even if it was the end point for a professional tennis player, a great achievement was Grand Slam's achievement: winning all four competitions in a single year. If we succeed, the legendary record would be broken by Radal.

You and Roger would have had no choice but to unleash your fury.

“ And it will be this year. As long as I'm in the field, Roland Garros will never give up. ”

Radal doesn't know it yet, but he does. Knowing the future, Han Woo-jin knew that changing the tennis record would permanently undermine Grand Slam's achievement because of one Radal. Maybe that's why.

It was a declaration that made it impossible to smile more.

The story came to a close about 30 minutes later. As Radar takes a step forward, Emilio, who was tidying up the chair, offers you an offer.

“Mr. Han, you said you were going to the Valencia Open this time? ”

“" Yes. It's about a week away. ”

“Then we need to loosen up a bit. So I have a suggestion..."

An offer? Han Woo-jin tilts his head, and Emilio laughs and ends the conversation.

“Why don't you hang out with our students like Napa? Claycourt knows that Spanish Forhand is qualified, so we'll be studying each other. ”

“Mmmm... ”

It was a reasonable offer. The athlete who was beating Claycoat was Radar, and the style he used was a more advanced form of Spanish hand. How well does 84% of all tennis courts in Spain have clay statistics?

You were never wrong to say that Spanish style is right for Clay.

Hanwoojin, who had weighed the understanding room, immediately nodded. He also wanted to experience the Spanish Tennis Academy. Unlike Korea, a perfectly structured Spanish tennis practice is the cornerstone of another achievement.

You could.

“Very well. Let's start right tomorrow. ”

“Huh, you're young. But are you sure you'll be okay tomorrow? Our Academy is famous for its fierce training. ”

They are people who whip around outside all year long. Since this is the land that inspired Radar's iron strength, training strength must also be high.

However, Han Woo-jin smiled as if he was excited.

“That would be interesting. See you tomorrow then. ”

Strength 72, HP 68.

The body of Hanwoojin, which exceeded the limit, has not been able to sweat properly with normal training.

The End
