God of Tennis - Chapter 100.3
Hanwoojin, who broke up with Okuda, soon joined Shin Se-yeon near the center court. She met with a crowd of crowds, smiled brightly and celebrated the first round. I thought Hanwoojin would win.
But this overwhelming perfection was something she did not expect.
Shin Se-yeon, who was talking to her, suddenly shut up. She looked at Hanwoojin’s face several times with her calm eyes, and asked her eyes curiously.
“Woojin, what did you do?”
“Yeah?”
Han Woo-jin, who was surprised by the random sound, opened her eyes wide. Shin Se-yeon added a few words with a face that seemed to know everything. It’s been two years together. Some of the emotions hidden beneath the expressionless skin of the face could be easily seen.
“I’ve been feeling it before, but Mr. Woojin is not like this guy because he won the first round.”
“You’re excited?”
“Yes, that’s pretty.”
He raised his hand and touched his face without my knowledge. As usual, the eye nose stayed in place and welcomed the finger. Was Hanwoojin having fun looking at her face like that?
Popped. It was a pretty red pepper that made men pass by.
However, Han Woo-jin, who faced the face from the front, was in a different mood. This is because Shin Se-yeon was awakened to the feeling of not being aware of herself. Perhaps the excitement of the excitement is Ryoku Okuda, a short meeting with him.
‘I was excited? I?’
Hanwoojin recalled Okuda’s face he had encountered just a few minutes ago.
Not just a single player, but the face of a young man who had been fighting hard for Hanwoojin. Okuda’s eyes, which had some sympathy at the end, weren’t enough to make him feel subtle.
Ryosuke Okuda is known as a star in Japan before and after Nishikori. Han Woo-jin, who had never thought of being in such a man’s admiration, had never thought about it.
I don’t know if Pedro or Radal are going to be there. His feelings seemed to support his heart.
“I think it was …”
“Also!”
Shin Se-yeon, who listened to Han Woo-jin’s answer, lightly touched her palm. If it was a waste, it would have been pretty embarrassing. But before that, I wondered why Hanwoojin was so excited.
“Can you tell me?”
Well. He shut his mouth casually. It was a little embarrassing to say it. There was a player who came to Wimbledon after chasing himself, It was difficult for me to get out of the way because a few words were put in front of her.
So I decided to mess around.
“I’ll tell you later, not now.”
“Ay, what is it? Just tell me. ”
Hanwoojin walked away, trying to turn her away. From afar the hostel began to be seen. Mia felt as she wandered through the maze and found an exit.
* * *
Like Roland Garros, Wimbledon plays a round over two days before the semifinals. The journey, which begins in the 128th round, lasts exactly two weeks until the day of the final round of trophies. And
That meant that the next day would be a holiday for Hanwoojin who won the first round.
The next day, when he got up from his seat, he checked his condition slowly. Spread your fists to see if the grip is working properly and see if there are any pains in the knees or ankles.
Even the gap of a single needle was the most important thing to check for injuries in the grand slam. Although the doctor’s diagnosis is no problem with Lee’s diagnosis, the athlete’s insistence is that he cannot be convinced unless he tries to move himself.
‘··· Good, no problem.’
The physical condition was the best as well as the first day. Rather, it might be better now that it is moderately loose. HP quickly recovered because of the quick end. It is hard to expect more than this.
Han Woo-jin was satisfied with his face, and his sweat began to flow. Then he picked up the phone to clear the alarm set to ring after five minutes. When you flip the folder, it means that there is a picture of the letter and unread text message on the LCD of the phone. His finger, which confirmed the sender of the message, was busy.
“It’s flowing as expected.”
It was the result of yesterday’s first round of the Wimbledon Championships. Hanwoojin’s eyes, which were checked in sequence from the first message that arrived first, shook up and down. The score was not important. Without knowing the content of the game, winning or losing was the standard of judgment.
Pedro and Radall won 3-0, and Zoković and Andrew also won 3-1. Choi Yeon-hyuk, who was placed in the near future, also won the second round with the same score.
As a result, the players who are familiar with Hanwoojin have not dropped out.
And···
‘You’ve followed up here.’
Next to Han Woo-jin’s name, the name of the player who came up after winning the 128 games with a 3-2 score was written.
Ryokusuke Okuda.
It was the name of the man who chased him two years ago and eventually came to Wimbledon.
Shin Se-yeon also remembered his first meeting. The first meeting I faced with Okuda was Andong Futures, shortly after she became Han Woo Jin’s agent. So it’s not too much to be left with impressive memories.
And it was natural to see Okuda as a topic between the two who had just finished lunch.
“Is this the second time I’ve played with Okuda?”
“Well, that’s it.”
Even though Okuda had excellent talents, it was impossible to catch up with Hanwoojin’s development. As the rankings change rapidly, the level of competitions to participate in is inevitably different. It was also a coincidence when faced with the Shenzhen Open.
If you think about it, it was amazing to meet in the grand slam.
“From the standpoint of the Okuda player, it’s a revenge match … how about you, are you confident?”
“I do not know?”
This was the honest answer. Because I wasn’t confident, I didn’t know how good Okuda was now. If you knew it would happen yesterday, you might have looked into the status window once, but regret is always late.
‘I’m probably finished by now.’
Future critics say that Okuda’s skills are divided into before and after his distinctive style is completed.
Forehand double. The special technology that sent him to the world stage who did not have great physical skills. The forehand double, based on the inherent personality of two-handedness, boasts exceptional power in both sides. The advantage of being able to return to the ball in any direction left or right was great.
Se-yeon, did you not get another video of Okuda?
“I browsed … but four months ago the last video, it is not very good.”
“Then I can’t help it.”
Most of the tournaments that Okuda participated in were Asian ATP250 or Challenger League. In many cases, such competitions were not broadcasted, so the video was often not available. This is more of a condition than her fault. Even yesterday’s first round video has not changed so much, and Hanwoojin couldn’t get it directly. It seemed to have helped to prevent the leakage of technology.
In conclusion, Hanwoojin had to face tomorrow’s second round without any prior information about Okuda. It was no longer possible to rely on past memories of the past. What if the style of Okuda influenced by him had changed? You may be hit hard by a headwind.
‘It felt like someone was chasing you.’
Before the crisis, an unscrupulous laughter spread to Hanwoojin’s mouth. Have you ever worried about this? At all times he has thrown a duel against the overwhelming enemies in the face of the challenger. I couldn’t afford to look back, and it was hard enough to run forward.
So I could not even imagine. As if you were aiming at the emperor, when someone is aiming at you.
“I think I’ll be a tricky opponent.”
His skills are also good, but the opponent spent two years watching Hanwoojin. The time spent studying his style and habits and finding the answers would be more than imaginable. Hanwoojin was even less likely to dig into weaknesses that he did not even know.
But he did not mind defeat. It’s not Wimbledon who came here to get caught. I couldn’t even deserve a cup if I wasn’t able to get Okuda.
“Do you mean it might be dangerous?”
Is it because of the memory of the previous day? Shin Se-yeon, who was convinced of Han’s victory, asked. She voiced cautiously that it would disrupt the planting of a player who had played one day before the game.
However, Hanwoojin shook his head.
‘Okuda is a lot like me, but not the same.’
The attitude that is inclined to aim at someone was similar to Hanwoojin. At a young age, he was able to compliment the mental power that was broken once again. The star of Japan, its raucous nickname, was never an exaggeration.
But even that could not be compared to Hanwoojin. Crucially, there was an insurmountable gap between the two.
“I will win. Okuda and I are so different from each other. ”
“You see?”
It did not seem to be driving the visual acuity. While Shin Se-yeon, who could not read the context, laughed, Han Woo-jin turned his head to look at the sky shining out of the window. The sky full of English greets him.
‘He took me as the destination. Climbing the cliff called Effort, you want to climb the mountain called Hanwoojin. ‘
Yesterday’s Okuda was definitely different from his old days. There was a lot of peeling and cracks around the skin, the skin burned deeply, the back of the hand, and the fingers around the surface. Not only hard work, but a lot of hardships. any
Lee Han-woojin could not disparage such efforts and accomplishments.
Nevertheless, Han Woo-jin did not doubt his victory. Acknowledging both Okuda’s efforts and accomplishments, he did not hesitate to be sure he would win.
“I came here with Roger Pedro, and he came here with Hanwoojin. For him, it’s a journey to his destination, but for me it’s just the way to the emperor. ”
There is only one element that separates Hanwoojin and Okuda. One thing has helped to keep the gap between the two players who may have been comparable.
It was eye level.
‘I’ll faithfully treat you. You’ll be amazed and you can smile cheerfully. I can show that mercy to someone who has managed to get there. ‘
But that’s it. I did not intend to tolerate more. He stops walking at the same time as his name, and he will step on him and move on to the next stage.
Beyond this game, many enemies will stand at the edge of the cliff to drop the emperor to wait for difficulties.
“Have you been destined to be defeated by history?”
I’m a little sorry, but I’m just a little ahead of schedule.
