God of Tennis - Chapter 102.1

Luckily, wasn’t Okuda’s remarks conveyed to Shin Se-yeon?

As usual, she met with Hanwoojin and decided to take a separate action to record the second round of the game on the nearby court. I didn’t want to follow, but the player who had been on the court for more than three hours couldn’t add unnecessary work.

“… I have to go back to my accommodation. ”

The victory intact in its own way, but used HP and calorie consumption was considerable. Even now, my stomach was crying. If you go outside and ruin your physical condition, today’s victory will return to nothingness. Wet body wet with sweat also added to the choice.

The step behind Hanwoojin’s Wimbledon Stadium was somewhat quieter than usual. Is it because of the victory? Or is it adapted to the pressure of the stage called the grand slam? Even myself was not yet realized.

With a baseball cap on his shoulder and a racket on his shoulder, he was able to return home without anyone’s distractions.

But Hanwoojin did not have much time to rest alone. As he entered his room, finished his shower, changed his clothes, an interphone hung near the front door found him.

[Mr. Woojin, the player got a call to turn on the phone.]

“Oh, Hyo Myung? But what about a cell phone? ”

Hanwoojin’s eyes were rounded by the sound. What are you so interested in the status of his cell at the squad? I just forgot to turn it off and back on during the game, but I’ll figure it out like a ghost.

However, the opposite side of the interphone, Kim Hyo-myeong realized that his words lacked explanation and added a few words.

[I have found Mr. Woojin.]

“Director?”

This time, wonder light came to Hanwoojin’s face. The reason why the former director came to him in such a situation was that he did not come to mind.

But what did you do? The physical condition of the body will not be bad, I would not have any problem if I look at the face for a while as a meal. Hanwoojin, who made a decision, delivered his intention to the interphone.

“Well, let’s have dinner together. You probably haven’t had dinner yet. ”

***

As Han Woo-jin predicted, the former director was not yet eating. He could, too, because he had just finished broadcasting with commentators. Former director who ended the broadcast after Hanwoojin’s game came out of MBS’s simple broadcasting room and came to him.

Near the hostel, two men faced each other at a restaurant that specializes in simple meat dishes.

“Guy, you’re still a messy mug.”

“The director has also come to England.”

It was strange that Yang, who had asked me to open my face, was leaving my face. Han Woo-jin ordered the menu with a kind of energy that was moderately strong while sitting facing the ceremony. Shepherd’s fry, made from potatoes and lamb, was recommended by the team for their delicious taste.

“You made a good choice. I was trying to dry it if I picked something that looked really delicious. ”

“Oh, so British food has been infamous since.”

The two laughed and shook their shoulders. As far as Korea is concerned, the food culture of England was very bad.

For example, one of the characteristics of British cuisine is to put potatoes on the menu if there is a gap, but on the surface, it may play a role that doubles the feeling except for some dishes. The texture is also mushy or thick, so it doesn’t suit the taste of those who like to chew and tear. In many ways, there were no elements that would fit Korean tastes.

“There is nothing delicious but… It’s like looking for wild ginseng in a minefield. I picked it well. ”

In the meantime, the former director finished the order and covered the menu. It will take quite some time for the cooking to come out. Until then, the reason for coming here was a bit deep. Before the story, the former director’s thick lips opened with a glass of water.

“Is it already 32? You’re right back where you went up in Roland Garros. ”

“I’ve been there once.”

Not so, but the experience of Roland Garros was quite helpful. The distribution of stamina and the timing of the game was a great opportunity to learn.

The three-set match was a rule I tried to get tired of before coming back to the past, but the five-set match had no way to go. Except for the finals and grand slam of some Masters League, there is no competition that is played with the rules of 5 sets.

However, unlike the conversation that former director noticed, he was looking closely at Han Woo Jin’s signs. Is it because of the water that hit the grand slam? The atmosphere that Hanwoojin is wearing is that of the strong.

“… Umm. ”

Heavy sound came out of me without knowing. The reason why Jeon Sang-sik visited Hanwoojin was simple. As a player, you won’t be able to rub it, but the eyes of Han Sang-jin far exceed the eyes of Sang-sik. It was because he had been looking at his fundamental state of mind for quite some time.

‘I lacked self-esteem as a strong man.’

It was great to target the enemies like Pedro and Radal, but not to get any luck. It’s all about maintaining the challenger’s stance. If you really aimed for a throne, you had to throw off a lid.

What about now?

I do not know what happened, but Hanwoojin’s atmosphere was that of one who had confidence in his strength and position. A few weeks ago, I wondered how to say it. The former director soon broke a bloody laugh.

‘It’s already done. When you get older, you start with your book. I can’t say no now. ‘

15 years after he quit his career as a manager. The former director, still proud of his correction, leaned back with a shameful face.

The award ceremony was unknown, but now, the admiration of Ryosuke Okuda, the genius of Hanwoojin, has matured further. Knowing that someone is looking at your back makes it harder to bow your head than you might know. For Hanwoojin, he felt the responsibility of being the first to be strong.

Eventually, another word came out of the former director’s mouth.

“I’m sorry.”

“Yeah?”

“I don’t think I’ve done much for you as a bishop.”

There was no selfish heart. Han Woo-jin performed the given exercise menu without any mistake, and in the case of physical strength, was trained by a professional trainer. Whatever he did with his own strength, he was forced to miss a bit.

To put it a little harder, it is no exaggeration to say that bringing the NK ship means all that Sang Sang has done to Hanwoojin. Indeed, I felt the helplessness I felt in a short time, and my strength was falling out of his dark voice.

But it was an unacceptable sound for Hanwoojin.

“no.”

“… What?”

“I learned a lot from my bishop.”

It was not the present self, but the voice of the past. It was also a thank-you to hand Hanwoojin, who was not only a gifted talent but also a physical one, to a gift that brought such an unanswerable blunt to the middle level.

But it is not conveyed by explanation. Knowing that, Hanwoojin shut up. One of the stubborn ones, who did not break until the end, screamed with passion.

“… Yes, thank you. ”

Jeon Sang-sik also noticed the stubbornness of Hanwoojin and nodded silently. Although not understood, it was transmitted. The silence subsided by the two men who had lived different times.

And the dishes on the table just aroused a heavy atmosphere.

“‘Cooking. Who is the German Shepherd’s Pie? ”

“This way.”

The two men, each of whom had cooked their meals, did not hesitate to pick up the spoon. After that, only the noise of bumping the tableware was disturbed for the time being. It was about the end of the meal that they stopped talking with a grievous story.

“Ujin, do you know your lottery is pretty good?”

“… I thought so. ”

Han Woo-jin did not deny. Jonas, who met in the first round, of course, Okuda who competed today was also a low-ranking participant. Those who belonged to the top of the seed field were clearly lucky luck, considering that the ranking is in the top 10. Some really fortunate players have been left out of contact with Pedro and Radal in the first round.

“Besides, even the 32nd and even the 16th round haven’t been difficult. Aren’t you? ”

There was no answer this time. It was because it was a shame to discuss lightly with a opponent who has not yet competed. However, Han Woo-jin also accepted the director’s words. Either way, the 32nd and 16th rounds did not have him to be his opponent.

Only then did Han Woo Jin understand what the former director was trying to tell.

“Do you think the problem is from the quarterfinals?”

“It will be.”

From then on, it was not a realm of luck. Big 4, which continues to make good progress, many of the top rankers in active duty, and none of them could dare to guarantee a win. Indeed, the word yongdamhyeol (龍潭虎穴) is the stage that suits.

Only after the tension over his face did the director start talking.

“Maybe your quarter-final opponent is one of them. They are both players you’ve played against. ”

“… Roddick and his history. ”

“You knew it.”

Han Woojin nodded silently. Either way, the players can’t see it. Although he defeated Roddick at the Seoul Open, it was clear that the world’s fastest serve with a grass court bound would boast more than that. Choi Yeon-hyuk’s progress, which began to take off after refinement of mind and body, could not be ignored.

The two fighters are competing for the right to advance to the quarter-finals in the round of 16 just before confronting Han Woo-jin.

“Who do you think will come up?”

The former director’s questions bothered him. Rationally, it’s Roddick. Even if Choi’s skills increased quickly, it was difficult to guarantee that he would beat Roddick, who is still playing in the top 10 in the world rankings. The only comfort was quite favorable in the style of style.

Hanwoojin’s idea was a little different.

‘History has reached the Wimbledon runner-up this year from my past. Then unless you’ve lost a lot of skills due to me, I don’t think I’ll fall in vain at 32 or 16.

Unlike his former director, he had data called “original history.” Choi’s record, which remains in his memory, was literally a whole rewrite of the history of Korean tennis. Starting with the defeat of Okuda in the quarter-finals, he was thrilled when he crossed another world ranker in the quarterfinals and faced the emperor.

The name of the player who confronted Choi Yeon-hyuk in the quarterfinals at that time…

“Ah!”

A flash of light ran through Hanwoojin’s brain. Does anyone have occasional cases? If you have forgotten the memory for a while, you may think it is a chance. The momentary fragments of memory made him resilient?

“Why?”

“… Roddick, was it Roddick? ”

“Rhodic? Well, I thought so, too… ”

“No bishop, it’s a history.”

“What?”

The former director, who looked ridiculously at his changing words, reflexively asked.

Then, with a strange conviction in his voice, Han Woo-jin convinced his friend’s victory report.

“I will be the player who will play against me in the quarterfinals.”
