God of Tennis

Under the turbulent sky like pouring rain right away, Han Woo-jin couldn't hide his embarrassment from an unexpected encounter. I can't believe you met me like this twice, not once. There were a lot of things I was thinking about, but...

When I met him like this, my mouth hardly fell off. Andrew also stares at him with a vague expression.

It was nothing but the power of a system that had forgotten to control it at its own will.

‘Ah.'

It was shortly after I realized. The moment he realized that he was holding the racket and Andrew in front of his eyes, the system renewed the status window of the player as usual.

Andrew Murray

Strength 67/HP 63/Agility 66

HP 2485/2520 SP 990/990

Dropshot Level: 13 of 20

Robe Level: 12/20

Special Skills:???,???

‘… Big 4. Growth rate is unreasonable.’

His head, which was dazed by embarrassment, quickly recovers his brilliance. Hanwoojin has already reported on the level of the stats and skills to predict the level of the player because of his habit of analyzing the opponent's data.

We've reached a point where we can grow up to be a completely different person than Andrew Murray was two years ago.

Agility or increased stamina were not so great, but the explosive growth of strength was noticeable. Clearly, my body size was much bigger than at that time. In addition to gaining weight, the kidney also appeared to have gained a little.

Are you turning 20 this year? There was nothing strange about growing up for a long time.

However, what surprised Han Woo-jin was not growth in terms of the stats. The increase in strength was surprising, but it was because he considered the level of growth possible for a athlete who had spent two years on the premise of such harsh training.

Haven't you also experienced explosive growth through systematic training of your vehicle? He could not be surprised by the mere promotion of his strength.

‘We are close to catching up with the style of the future… if we continue to grow, we may reach the peak in 2009 and not 2011. ’

Top 10 in the world rankings. No one can deny Andrew's skill as a top ranker. I had no idea what was driving his growth.

“It's been a long time. Mr. Han."

“Oh, it's been a long time. Mr. Murray."

After listening to Andrew's greeting, Han Woo-jin regained his mind. He hurriedly greets you, holding out his hand. Outside the coat, Andrew had an innocent face that was suitable for a young age. Matches

It was completely different from the angry face when it didn't go well.

“I didn't expect to see you again like this. Are you out for a walk? ”

“Well, yes. But there's not a park wide enough to hit a ball around here. ”

Looks like Andrew likes to move his body outdoors.

He was primarily a hard-coat competitor, but it was easy to get used to the indoor environment, and perhaps he didn't want to lose his sense of outdoor courting in this way. Humans were easily tamed by the environment.

While talking nonsense, the reason why the two of you are here today came to me as a conversation. Halle Open is a week away. Fundamental to bringing two world rankers to ATP league on the outdoor lawn court

It was an enemy cause.

“I saw the march. ”

It was Andrew who brought it up first. He spoke boldly and confidently about Han Woo-jin and his seed position.

“The closer the seed is to the number, the farther away is the place where it is placed, especially ones and two. ”

“By that I mean…"

“We can only compete in the finals. ”

The right to take the main seat without qualifying, and the higher the number, the higher the ranking. This Halle Open was won by Andrew, of course, and then by Han Woo-jin.

Enter. It was inevitable that the two highest ranked members of the competition would be placed in the farthest place.

But even Hanwoojin and Andrew were already in it.

If there's an opponent to face in the finals, there's only one man standing in front of him. He's not the clumsiest fighter I've ever seen before. Sharp professional intuition was not uncommon when it came to looking forward to the future. Now.

It was just then.

“... I'll see you soon. ”

“Perhaps. ”

It took me two years to see my face again. It was never a short time for two years in the world of tennis where ranking could have gone up or down dozens of steps a month. That's the difference between Han Woo-jin and Andrew.

It meant it was enormous, because it took two years for Han Woo-jin to regenerate and catch up.

But now there was only one, not half step left. Andrew's back is blurry in front of his eyes, as if reaching out to grab him. How comfortable would it be to hit the ball and battle right now?

‘It's almost time. ’

Han Woo-jin suppressed his struggle to climb. From now on, I didn't have to heat up beforehand. There's still a week or two left in the battle. If you go there and light a fire, it will not be too late. Andrew's the same way.

His eyes glow brightly in his recessed orbit, whether he was in the mood.

It was no one's will to stop the two people who were trying to catch fire, not when they met. It was because a noisy roaring cloud started to spit out raindrops.

Hanwoojin and Andrew face each other first, but no umbrella is in either hand. It was like this was the end of today's meeting.

Finally, Han Woo-jin put the racket in his bag first and said a short goodbye. I was the person who would see my face every day next week anyway. There was no reason to leave such a grand salutation.

“I don't think we have time to talk anymore. See you later, Mr. Murray. ”

“Yes, next time. ”

I could understand without saying when ’next’.

In Han Woo-jin's heart, he hurried toward his place, and an unknown sense of pride spread out. In the past, even the most frustrating opponent encounters a battle. It's like his hair had a cold, even though he could feel himself growing up.

Rum's fever rose.

"Next."

The final of the Halle Open was the name of the place where you two would meet again next time.

After a sudden encounter with Andrew, Han Woo-jin's surrounding atmosphere became sharper every day. It was not as sharp as a snap. As I waited for the day of the battle, I could feel the spleen like a blade. Rainy

During the day, I spent time playing the ball looking for a place with grass inside and on a clear day. The word "at war" did not fit so well.

Moreover, it was not just Han Woo-jin who was spending an intense amount of time. After arriving late, his team organized Han Woojin's condition in all sorts of ways, including meals, and Shin Se-yeon stayed up all night preparing to brief on the rhythm. One person.

They didn't know how to relax.

And Kim Sang-pil, who can be considered an outsider in some ways, was no exception to Han Woo-jin's last group. With permission from MBS to accept his request, he left for the station as soon as he heard from them. Clumsy

I had to save an hour, not a day, to fit my hands and feet together with the circles.

“We're roughly done here. Did you divide up the video management team with the filming team? ”

“Yes, sir. We decided to set up cameras at different angles, depending on the internal structure of the stadium. We've got nine of them, so we should be able to broadcast easily. ”

“Nine? What's so much? ”

Kim Sang-pil was furious and asked.

Nine, MBS. Cameras rotting all over the place? How willing are you to invest nine expensive cameras used for broadcasting live in a minor sport called tennis?

However, Yoon Young-goon, who scratched his back head with a shy expression, denied his guess. Even within the station, MBS Sports was not a relaxed channel.

“This time it's special. The NK Mountains have done a lot of damage. ”

“What? How long? ”

“They bought all the commercials during the broadcast... and the camera is only going to be rented as the latest on tennis. That's why he said," What's up? "”

“... The dimensions of the scripture are different. ”

Not to mention whose decision it would be to support the NK products. Kim Sang-pil, who remembered Joe's face, shook his tongue with an admirable expression.

It was like a decision to leave the understanding room and push Han Woo-jin away. Including the cost of advertising, it would have cost at least a few thousand or a billion units.

‘This way, I can't stay still either. ’

Kim Sang-pil's face, who was carrying enormous support on his back, began to boil blood like the young. If you get this much support and screw up your job, you're going to be preaching your incompetence nationwide. After all my years as a journalist,

We must not succeed in this.

“Okay, let's get started! ”

Reporters who did not know in English and were summoned were encouraged to see flashing facilities. They used to be journalists who stayed up all day with their flimsy notebooks and ballpoint pens. Reliable leader, when he saw the tools attached to his hands,

Even the sheer passion that was not there was about to spring up.

So the preparation of the broadcast was quick, and it had to be done at an enormous level. The talented people jumped to their best, and the progress of the work rose endlessly like the mercury in a summer thermometer.

Ten days passed quickly, and the Halle Open held in the morning.

* * *

“It's so good to see you again, viewers. Korean tennis is a must! I'm Park Sung-jin.”

“The thread goes where the needle goes, the commentator shines. ”

Two commentators positioned at reasonable intervals made comments at the beginning of the broadcast. It had been done for decades, rather than years, so there was no error in the beating of two people.

“Can you tell me a little bit about the competition today, Yoon? ”

“Of course, Korean tennis protagonist Han Woo-jin has cast his ballot at the Halle Open in Germany this time! It's very impressive that Han Woojin, who announced Wimbledon, was in the lawn competition. ”

“Aha, so this is your chance to preview Han Woojin's lawn skills? ”

“Yes, because Han Woo-jin has shown a lot of good looks in two other coats, except the lawn coat. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of action you can get on your first lawn coat. ”

It was a commentary that pretended not to know, but also enumerated information that the viewer would want to hear. At the end of the exchanges between the two overlooking views, the camera screen installed in Germany lit up.

“Oh, I think we just started filming in the field. Watch Halle Open in real time! ”

“This broadcast will continue without ads. If you need to go to the bathroom, go now! ”
