God of Tennis

I was dizzy about the number of reminders that came to my mind, but Han Woo-jin finished the finals without a speck on his face. Investment in stats or skills was not late even after returning to the accommodation I don't want him.

There was no reason to stand there dazed and get unnecessary attention.

At the awards ceremony that followed the conclusion of the finals, Han Woo-jin stood at the highest position and received the token of victory. It came out of the hands of the moderator, shining chaotically in the warm German sunlight, hurtling through the clouds and giving out its face.

"Trophies, I see. ’

ATP250, a golden trophy like any other at the Halle Open, was placed in the arms of Hanwoojin. It looked more like a jar than a trophy. And the weight of the battle was right on top of him, and his arm was stretched out in fatigue.

Despite making you tired, the satisfaction of winning against a rival named Andrew made Hanwoojin raise his trophy high.

Waaaaaahhhh!

Screaming cheers your ears. In the tennis courts where loud cheering and applause were abolished throughout the game, the only time for proper cheering was now. Hanwoojin on the platform and a lot of spectators around Andrew.

In honor of the list they showed me, I was constantly struggling.

“... I finally lost today. ”

After the awards ceremony, Hanwoojin stepped on his coat again, and Andrew, who was right near, spoke in a dull voice. It must have been a pity to let go of the victory that seemed to have caught them all.

And Andrew is three years younger than that. At this time, he was only twenty years old when the boundaries between adults and adolescents were strong and the weakness of mental faculties was understandable. That too, to Han Woo-jin, who claimed to be a fan.

Since he was beaten, the grass died in its own way.

However, Han Woo-jin's reaction raised more drinks there. In a blatant tone of silence, I returned the unspoken answer.

“Well, that's just it. ”

It was Andrew's face that was looking forward to cheering or consoling. He frowns for a moment, then opens his mouth again with a shivering look.

“Isn't there some sort of consolation speech? ”

“That is absolutely meaningless. ”

He had his reasons for reacting like this.

Han Woo-jin sharpened his eyes as he showed during the game. He was about to point out the frustrations of watching Andrew Murray's game in his past life.

I'm sure it wasn't just the two of you who told Andrew. However, it will be hard not to even listen to the advice that defeated him in the face. Even if it makes Andrew grow faster, I used to like him.

It was more difficult to leave one player's trend behind.

“Andrew, if you had kept the performance you showed in the set, this trophy wouldn't have been mine. ”

“That…"

Andrew is speechless. It was Payne who knew it himself, so there was no excuse. Hanwoojin's words did not stop there. Understanding the silence as positive, I raised my spirits even more harshly.

“ I won't tell you to stay in a grave like me, but it is a statement that shows at all. Does it make sense to you if you can see the ball coming from your face? ”

“ Ah…. ”

Andrew felt a slight elasticity in understanding the meaning of the word. It was because I sometimes thought of Han Woo-jin who ran out before he even hit him. I wondered what kind of tricks he could react like that, but I couldn't help but notice

It was empty. Andrew's white face turns red as he realizes his guilt.

However, Han Woo-jin didn't say this, hoping that he would feel ashamed. It was because he felt sad that Andrew was wandering around until 10 years later without fixing his shortcomings. Blessed enough to enter Big 4

Even though he was talented, the appearance of being hit by another Big 4 made him insist that he wasn't.

“Just a little bit more calm, if you can trust yourself, you can be several times stronger than you are now. Because you're such a player. ”

It was not known by Han Woojin, but he had the power to plant faith in the listener. Maybe it's because of the confidence that comes from knowing the future. Of course, there was literally no single doubt that Han Woo-jin thought it would be so. So it was only natural for me to have the strength to say it.

Rather, Andrew was fascinated by what he said. In Hanwoojin's words, there was a clear certainty that he did not have either. Andrew truly believes that he can be several times more powerful than he is now. It's so heavy. It's so heartbreaking.

It was the first time he had heard the cold.

‘Can I really... be like that? ’

He had listened to many coaches and supervisors in one ear. You ranked the top of the world ranking by laughing at the words of the rich who pointed out the weaknesses of Mental Coil. All I'm saying is, I think you should come up to my coat and talk to me.

I've done it.

And today, someone has actually shown up to say that.

“... You spoke too much. Sorry."

I raised the heat too much. Han Woo-jin's face became hot after realizing what he said. It is the 23rd place to teach the 10th place in the world ranking. Andrew had no excuse to sell him because he didn't know the theme with a single victory. The story is female.

I think it's better to finish here, and Han Woo-jin turns around.

Clear the racket, take a towel, a bottle of water, and leave. Until he took five steps, he thought that was the end of the story.

“ … ”

“ Yes? ”

Andrew's tiny voice stops Han Woojin's steps. The moment he reflectively turns around, Andrew bows his head and salutes.

“Thank you. ”

Andrew Murray bows his head with a silver tray. Hanwoojin's mouth, which had a rare landscape in front of his eyes, opened for a few moments, and immediately stopped. In fact, it's hard enough to endure the feeling of being overwhelmed.

“... Then come back later. ”

After trying to say goodbye, Han Woo-jin steps back towards the exit.

This time no one stopped him. There was only one who looked at his back to the end.

* * *

At the beginning, Han Woo-jin's plan to return home and organize the performance of the Halle Open was forced to withdraw his free thinking immediately. It was because the cell phones of Shin Se-yeon and Kim Sang-pil started to light up even before he arrived at the lodge.

“Yes, I'm just finishing up... I'm sorry, but I'll ask you for an interview or something later. ”

“ Nothing scheduled yet. If you leave us your contact information, we'll get back to you. ”

Unlike Kim Sang-pil, who deals primarily with Korean journalists, Shin Se-yeon was busy spending time with foreign media, using all the languages she knew. Hanwoojin's head was aching because he only heard something in French in English.

Recognizing that Shin Se-yeon's work volume was unusual, he took out his horse after a short time after his phone was disconnected.

“Do I have to take it all? ”

“Most of them don't need to be called back... but there are some places you can't just hand them over. Actually, it's because of them. ”

Shin Se-yeon's face answering with a thin voice looked similar to Han Woo-jin who just finished the finals. Did they say emotional labor is more stressful than physical labor? There was nothing wrong with her grief.

Hanwoojin recommended that we hang up for a day or so, but was dismissed due to the terms of the contract.

The NK group supports them for one reason only. It was due to the rise of Korean tennis culture. The alliance with overseas journalists was an indispensable part of the revival. I'm just trying to find a way to beat a little fatigue right now.

It was not the case.

Even a few more words before Shin Se-yeon's phone started ringing the bell again. Han Woo-jin told Sang-pil Kim a story that made him feel better.

“I didn't think it would be too much of a reaction. Did you know that reporter Kim was going to be like this? ”

“Too much is wrong. Of course it is.”

“... This is natural? ”

It was the first time Shin Se-yeon has been as busy as she is now as she is in her athletic career. What makes you think this is natural? Han Woo-jin became distracted by the feeling that his common sense was wronged in front of him. Then Kim Sang-pil would smile and say,

He added a description of the incident.

“People have a hard time believing in things. I was lucky when I beat Radar, and I was lucky when I beat Zokovich, just like a pile of maggots on a rainy fighter's victory like this. ”

“So in this case, what's different? ”

“Yes.”

Kim Sang-pil firmly affirmed. He had no choice, but this time it was different. Andrew's mental wobble was a player's natural skill problem, not an external element.

A perfect victory where there's absolutely no room for water clouding! The Halle Open winner proved that Han Woo-jin was the best fighter to beat the top 10 in the world ranking.

“Thanks to you, I'm busy here, too. And now that this is happening, we're going to be reevaluating the remarks that were made about Wimbledon by Han Woojin. ”

“... I see you've become more trustworthy. ”

“That's it. ”

Even though he won at the Seoul Open, few places have properly rated Han Woo-jin's capabilities. Prestige, not skill, weighs the horse that flows through the media. It's only now that he's been lacking.

It was color-coded.

If an unproven player raises a goal that does not fit into my fountain, it is simply vanity. Hanwoojin's ambition to win the Wimbledon title has created quite a stir in Korea, but I really believe he will win.

The fishermen were also the reason why they didn't show up.

But the wind changed. After defeating Andrew Murray in front of the top 10 world rankings, Hanwoojin proved that the victories he had won the past day were no coincidence.

With this level of progress on the lawn, I was able to expect good results even if I did not win. Even more so, overseas media was more dramatic than Korea. There's always the unexpected appearance of the dark horse.

It used to set people on fire.

Eventually, it was inevitable. Han Woo-jin looked at Shin Se-yeon who still could not place her cell phone and tried to figure it out. The inevitable, then I want to do it in a way that puts as little pressure on her as possible.

It was.

About 20 minutes later, when he arrived at the accommodation and saw her holding her cell phone longer than he had said, he could think of a solution.

‘Hmm... Is this possible? ’

Let's get the horse out. Han Woo-jin, who had made a decision, gave Shin Se-yeon the measures he had in mind. She stares at him dazed for a moment, then swallows what she ate and returns the answer.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

What did you say that Shin Se-yeon showed such a embarrassed face? The answer to the question was immediately heard through Han Woo-jin's mouth.

“I told you to pull the horn short, so let's do it all at once today and rest well together. ”

A total of 5 reporters from major media agencies have been dispatched to Halle. There, I even interviewed Sang-pil Kim and decided to end the conversation with all six of them today.

Finish
