God of Tennis - Chapter 102.2

At the end of the day, all of the 64 rounds were over and the 32 rounds began. The grand slam, which had a huge size of 128, already had only the same number of players as the standard ATP league. The 32nd, 16th and 8th rounds will be played over two days, with the Wimbledon championship ending six days, plus two days in the semi-finals and the finals.

And interest in Han Woo-jin, who won two games in a row, increased. Although the tennis player’s title is thin, it was a story of the players.

If you look at the number of club members who simply enjoy tennis, they might have gone beyond football or baseball. Tennis is not yet stretched by watching sports, but sports such as playing badminton and ping pong have a huge stake.

“Where is the coincidence in Grand Slam? No matter who you bring in, the Asian League will eat you up. Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk are already Asian.

“At the same time, Choi Yeon-hyuk came to the third round. This is not a real joke. ”

Until only two new actors, Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk appeared, only Kim Hyung could play Grand Slam in Korean tennis. Even the lukewarm response of Korea and the lack of support have never spread their wings properly.

In that sense, it was no exaggeration to say that the Grand Slam attracted attention in Korea.

The times when people’s words are so easy to tell. The topic, which once started to go viral, spreads like a wave of dry leaves. Even if you weren’t interested in tennis, if you had a friend of tennis among your acquaintances, you would have to hear Hanwoojin’s name.

Even today, a similar kind of story came out of Hanwoojin’s birthplace and the pub near the apartment. A middle-aged drunk man was in the midst of shaking up a beer mug.

“Hey, I’ve been playing with Ujin since he was an early chick! Is there a tennis court between the apartments? Did you have a drink there? ”

“Erai, you’re a yellow man. What’s so bad about Hanwoojin playing tennis with a belly like you? Even if you’re shaking, 쯧쯧. ”

“Oh, why don’t you believe me!”

Exaggerated, but it was true. Of course, because of his usual conduct, few believed him. In the end, Han Woo-jin’s neighbor, Hwang, had to go home without eating a bottle of beer. It was a bonus to scrape the gourds in return for drinking the rice cake.

Anyway, there is an unprecedented tennis craze in Korea. The reason was simple.

As with any sport, the existence of a star player greatly depends on the popularity of the sport itself. It was for similar reasons that Korean boxing did not bring its glory to the past and was in vain. Incompetence or lack of infrastructure of the relevant institutions also played a role.

And whether or not to give back to people’s support, Han Woo-jin won the final round of 32 with a score of 3-0. It was literally a victory, and it was a victory that was deserving of the expression.

-Today, Woo Woojin wins without fail! Are Carlos from Spain, the player who reached the quarterfinals in the Monte Carlo Open?

-There was a saying that the grass court had a weak side, but today’s game was more than that? By the way, Hanwoojin feels the water has risen while meeting the grass! Han Woo-jin, who advances to the round of 16 without giving up just one set, is amazing!

Unlike the two commentators who can’t hide the red powder, the former director’s face was cold. As far as he sees, there is less than 20 percent chance of Han Woo Jin losing in today’s game. Do not know if you are injured due to the situation, the odds would not shake even if you show only normal performance.

‘Woojin will go up to the quarterfinals without any difficulty. If there is a problem, is it the history? ‘

His eyes were still squeaking around his chin.

Contrary to Han Woo-jin, who received a decent vote, Choi’s draw was no easy opponent. It was like today.

-Then I will go directly to the game screen of Choi Yeon-hyuk. Please bring up the camera screen.

-Oh, I see it. Set score 2-1… Choi Yeon-hyuk seems to be leading a set. But four sets of game scores are disadvantaged? 3 to 5. Besides, it is sub-game of opponent.

The director’s anxiety did not go away. Choe Yeon-hyuk’s opponent, Monaco, was a veteran and skilled craftsman who maintained the balance of the game. Both physical and technique were the reasons why they didn’t finish the game even though Choi was ahead. If you do this, fill the 5 sets with grass. In the grand slam where the allocation of pace was very important, it was a mistake.

Not surprisingly, Choi Yeon-hyuk couldn’t overturn the game’s slant of 3 to 5 and was dragged to 5 sets. Eventually, he won the victory by the power of youth, but it would be unsatisfactory for Choi Yeon-hyuk.

‘There is little chance that Angie Roddick will take him to a fitness war, but… It’s better to have physical strength in any situation. ‘

Angie Roddick, a power heater specializing in Kangsub, was famous for his cool play. The speed of one stroke is high and the movement is simple, giving a big gap. It’s true that in the turf courts where fast and strong players are better than high-tech techniques.

However, one of the valid tactics when dealing with him has already been out of the hand.

“Besides, how do you win if Ujin is your opponent? It will be hard in many ways. ”

The former murmured with a sulky face.

But he did not know his eyes would fall from Choi Yeon-hyuk, who was panting beyond the monitor. Whoever wins will cheer and whoever loses.

That was the only responsibility left to him.

***

Soon the number of athletes was cut back in half. The number of people occupying the hundred seats was at stake even at the height of any two digits.

The 16th round, the fourth round of Korean tennis’s presidential leader Kim Hyung-soo is approaching. As a result, the attention of the Korean tennis media has increased. There was always a shortage of events where the record of ‘the best’ was renewed.

Coincidentally, the round of 16 matches between Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyeok were similar in time, and there was no way to relay them at the same time. The station had no choice but to choose which of the two to relay. The answer came soon, though.

Han Woo-jin has continued to march to a score of 3-0.

Choi Yeon-hyeok meets a strong man named Angie Roddick.

Unless you’re stupid, you can’t confuse which card to flip. Even if Choi could have enjoyed more than Han Woojin’s game after a dramatic victory, it would be irrational to ignore the possibility that the bankruptcy relayed a higher game and then reversed the flurry.

Eventually, the camera of MBS broadcasting station, Wimbledon local broadcasting team was forced to capture Hanwoojin’s coat on the screen.

-Unfortunately, Choi Yeon-hyuk’s game, please watch overseas sports channels. I didn’t know that schedules would overlap like this. It’s a pity for us.

-Yes. Han Woo-jin, Choi Yeon-hyuk, and Korean tennis aren’t saying that it’s a waste. Although I could not relay through my mouth, I believe your support will be delivered to Choi Yeon-hyuk.

Commentators also tasted only. How many chances will there be for a Korean player to play in Wimbledon? I wanted to relay both players. But in reality it was not possible to help them.

After adding a few words, they soon began to heat up with the story of Hanwoojin who appeared on the court. If you can’t catch both rabbits, it’s wise to catch one. The two commentators, who have already lived as broadcasters for decades, were also quick to change their stance.

-Then, we will proceed to the round of 16 of Han Woo-jin and Philip Dominic. Let’s watch the game!

ping!

The bouncing coin spins like a silver bead. Looking at the familiar sight, Han Woo-jin briefly remembered a friend who would be preparing for a game in the near future.

‘Would history have started by now?’

Angie Roddick, a player who had won the Seoul Open once, never had an easy image. In addition, the player who corresponds to the power heater generally performed more than usual on the grass court. As Hanwoojin, who has a thick bone on the hard coat, plays as he is now, Roddick will be helped.

However, concern about Choi Yeon-Hyuk disappeared as quickly as I remembered. Who cares about who? Others worried about luxury when they could not concentrate on their own game.

“Dominic to Serve! Player Ready! ”

The serve ticket seemed to have passed over to the opponent. Han Woo-jin turned to nothing without regret. After all, if you take the sub game first, few players can beat the service ace against him. In addition, if Dominic is known for his reflexes rather than restraints, the merit of sub-priority won’t be great.

Han Woo-jin, who summarized his thoughts, set his posture at the end of the court. Bend both knees moderately, keeping the center of gravity while tilting the waist straight forward. It was a textbook receiving posture.

“Love All (0: 0)! Play! ”

At the beginning the ball came to mind. Perhaps he had previously thought of a pitch for Hanwoojin, Dominic’s Toss didn’t have any unnecessary waste of time. A neatly vertically rising ball was deflected by a racket that hits its side.

Paaang!

The ball that stretched in a straight line was bent in a smooth orbit starting from over the net. When you strike, you turn your wrist around. The sub-movement was impressive, not noticeable until the moment it bent.

‘Well, it’s not enough to hit.’

The bloodline stood on the forearm of Han Woo-jin, who narrowed the distance by half a step. Tightening the racquet’s grip, his hands hit a rough stroke towards the falling ball.

Paaang!

The ball revolves around a powerful topspin. Rather than drawing a parabola, a sudden falling ball creates a rhythm in the rhythm of a reflexive person. Deep embarrassment emerged over Dominic’s face, which quickly retreated.

“Love Fifteen (0: 15)!”

The return ace from the start is fatal. The difference in temperature between the faces of the two players proved that.

‘Is it immature to read the top spin? It wouldn’t have been difficult if we knew only the timing to break in. ‘

Perhaps Han Woo Jin did not expect to use top spin. Han Woo-jin, who boasts overwhelming attack on the grass court, has used the flat-based stroke most frequently. What’s the return from the first serve?

“… I can’t follow the bishop’s eyes yet. ”

The opponent was ranked 24th in the world, and he was not far from Hanwoojin in terms of ranking points. The status bar was also two higher than Okuda. So I thought it would be more difficult than I thought

‘I will go up first.’

It’s not a long fight. Hanwoojin’s eyes lifted the momentum creepy eyes.

Shortly after Dominic instinctively struck the serve, Hanwoojin’s body struck like a storm.
