God of Tennis - Chapter 104.1
The referee, who confirmed the substitution of the two players, bounced straight up the coin. Sunlight shining through the dense skies hit the surface of the silver coin. Many times the coin that turned up in the face of refusal to rotate. The coin returned to the referee’s grip flipped its thick fingers and revealed its face.
“Ujin Han on my right! Fernando Garda on my left! Garcia to Serve! ”
Unfortunately for Hanwoojin, the god of luck today was like Fernando’s hand.
Still, he didn’t show any bleak or disappointing signs. The game wasn’t determined by who won the sub game. On the contrary, if the strategy fits well, there are few cases of taking the initiative on the side of the second.
‘But you need to be alert.’
Opponent, Fernando Garcia, is one of the forehand users at the world level. At sub-speeds of 210 kilometers per hour, he would not be able to profit from preempting the sub-game. If you think about it easily, then it will be hard for you to come back.
-Oh, Fernando takes the first serve. It would have been nice if Hanwoojin had a sub game. Not to mention the weight of the serve in the turf court.
-Yes. Especially among the strong players, who gets the first serve is a big variable. That Fernando is also a player in his serve. I can only be a little worried.
Hanwoojin has already reached the semifinals. As the stage progressed, the commentators’ explanations became more cautious. If you picked it up, you could eat the fame you had built up if you misinterpreted the progress of the game. The grand slam was such a stage that not only the players but also the commentators were nervous.
Not long after, the two players started to move in the middle of the court. Fernando’s forearm wribbed and threatened. The sturdy physique of 183 cm 82 kg was a perfect example of a perfect athlete with the extra fat removed.
Han Woo-jin, who arrived at the end of the court, shook his body and looked at Fernando. It was easy to hear his status just by looking at Fernando’s back while holding a racket, whether there was no standard to look at the system’s capabilities.

Lob: 13/20
Special Skills: None
‘Also, he’s like a forehand player. Serve and smash are higher than other skills. It would have been more difficult if we had met on the hard court, not on the grass. ‘
More demanding on hard courts than turf. The analysis of Fernando’s status window at a glance was like that. Regardless of the height of the bounds, the strong forehand had strong score determination, so it was very unlikely that any Korean woojin could easily be overwhelmed.
The clash of two players who are more prone to attack than defensive in style is close to the chicken run, where they compete for the first to inflict fatal wounds. Hanwoojin’s higher attack power does not mean that it is advantageous. If either side was able to penetrate the opponent’s defenses, it was inevitable that both sides would be full. So it’s a more difficult opponent.
“Love All (0: 0)! Player Ready! ”
The referee’s screams inflated the tension between the two opposing players. Fernando, who raised the ball, and Hanwoojin, who racked up the racket, looked at the front without blinking. A moment of alertness leads to a run. The stadium’s audience was also watched as the two players confronted, killing their breath.
yet. The referee announced the start of the game.
“Play!”
The ball floated before the remnants of the voice were gone. There was no benefit to take time anyway. Increasingly focused on each other, it was only each other’s skill to decide.
As the ball reached the top of the head, Fernando’s sturdy body rotated at a speed that kept it from weighing.
Paa Aang!
The afterimage of the ball is elongated like an arrow. The speed of mounting is more than imaginable. Even those watching as a third party are frowned upon, but the player facing them must react before even taking a half-breath.
And it was possible enough for Hanwoojin. Even Angie Roddick’s subs can respond to him because 210km / h was not that great.
Paaang!
The first rally of the one-set-one game began with a cheerful ball. Han Woo-jin returned the ball with a short bent stroke and collected the beauty in the subtle discomfort felt between them. I only exchanged the ball once because of the subtle lags in the movement.
‘You put it at a bothersome angle. Is it a coincidence? ‘
Apart from sports, there is something that is awkward for everyone. Elbow angle. Location of the center of gravity. It can be said to be a kind of discordant sound caused by complex reasons such as the burden of the hip joint. Hanwoojin’s posture now tends to hit the ball to the right of the outside foot, and Fernando’s serve has pierced the area exactly.
But somehow I did. Han Woo-jin’s uplifted ball, Fernando’s racket came out.
Paaang!
The drive is curved to the right, followed by a flat stab. The ability to play a variety of pitches with one forehand proved the difficulty of Fernando. If Hanwoojin’s forehand had weapons of strength and accuracy. In his forehand, there were lurking unpredictable changes.
-The game began as a serve of Fernando. Han Woo-jin, who did not panic, entered the rally immediately.
-I don’t think both players are going to retreat as far as they are in the forehand. Even if shely is important, can’t we miss her pride in sports?
In addition, Fernando will look like a player who suddenly popped out of the rock. Fernando player loses a one-sided loss to Pedro in the Australian Open. This Wimbledon is a kind of disgrace to him!
It wasn’t for Fernando’s Wimbledon, but that was the reason. The sadness of missing Grand Slam’s championship cup in front of him, the embarrassment of the emperor’s time, and his frustration led him to this position.
Although ironically, he didn’t meet the emperor until the final. I never thought I would lose to an Asian player who had only recently started getting a name.
So naturally the force was applied to the hand holding the racket.
‘Where dare you!’
You are just the gateway before I challenged the emperor!
A strong stroke seemed to penetrate Hanwoojin’s coat. A fastball that uses all kinds of transitions and gets stuck into the gap. Those who watched the situation carefully were also likely to be stabbed.
But that was a mistake.
Paa Aang!
Strike like a thunderbolt. Han Woo-jin returned to the flash. If it’s a head-on match, no one is pushed against anyone. In addition to power, the reflexes are nearing human limits. There was no ball that could not be received within the range. Fernando’s mistake here was that he only played head-to-head against Han Woo-jin.
“Love Fifteen (0: 15)!”
Immediately after hitting the bash, the defense weakens. Han Woo-jin’s intense counterattack lightly asked Fernando’s lax defense.
-1 point! Han Woo-jin takes first point! That Fernando hit the ball perfectly, even from the front. Hanwoojin player!
-If you’re head-on, you’re confident! I never backed off against Roddick. Hanwoojin player!
Two exhilarating commentators lauded one after another. Hitting the opponents from the front was enthralling those watching at any sport. In addition, Han Woo-jin, who is relatively inferior in terms of physique, overwhelmed Fernando, but it was not enough to see him again.
But while all rejoiced, there was still one commentator who remained silent. The man who was called Wimbledon as a special guest, he was.
-Now is the beginning.
He said as he saw Fernando’s hardened face shine through the camera. The sixth-ranked man in the world was not enough to die. I wouldn’t know if my head with a fever went cold.
‘You must have understood it with the exchange just before.’
Hanwoojin’s power is clearly above that of Fernando. In a forehand fight that focuses on speed, the superiority of power is absolute. As soon as he understands that head-to-head cannot take the lead, Fernando will fight more cunningly. From now on, the beginning was never exaggerated.
Fernando leaned over the ball and leaned back. Realizing he shouldn’t give Hanwoojin room to do his best, he threw the ball with his racket at an angle.
Paaang!
The ball hit the side of the racket crossed the net. The ball, which had hit the net, bounced straight up as soon as it hit the service court.
Ball jumping inside the bosom. Han Woo-jin’s arm gongcheok bent crooked.
‘In addition?’
It is not a coincidence at this point. What happened once may happen twice. It is said that what happened twice must happen three times. I don’t know how to read it, but Fernando was exactly looking for his vulnerability.
However, even if it is a weak point, it is hard to hit hard. Pushing the joints a bit wasn’t very difficult.
Paaang!
In return, though, he lost strength in the ball. The ball reverted over the net with an unusually slow motion. From Fernando’s point of view, the ball rolled into his mouth, and he struck the racket in front of the net as if he had waited.
“Fifteen All (15: 15)!”
It’s not a match. The tendon floated on the back of Han Woo-jin’s hand, which led to Serve & Bali. The forehand’s power was lower than that, but he was more than two in a seasoned technique for picking the sub’s orbit.
As soon as I understood I should not fight in front, I opened a detour. The pace of changing posture was faster than changing any gear.
‘Isn’t he even willing to accept strength? It’s pretty sly like a gladiator. ‘
Han Woo-jin’s eyes narrowed sharply after understanding the opponent’s tactics. It sends the ball to a position that is hard to pick up and uses it to lure the back rally. It was hard to try on the turf where the ball exchange and game progress was fast. There was also a small risk of being hit by a counterattack.
Besides, there’s no weakness that’s exactly digging. There was no choice but to wait for the opponent to make a mistake.
However, it was not Hanwoojin’s style to stand still and wait for a mistake. What if the other person doesn’t make a mistake? He would not have been the farmer who waited for the rabbit to head on the tree trunk.
Paaang!
Once again, the ball, which was drawn with an exquisite orbit, jumped into the arms of Hanwoojin. It is a ball that cannot be hit with power alone. It was a technique that could be reached only when the technology accumulated for a long time was combined.
Beat it with power.
Lean half a step backwards and fold your elbows hard. There’s never been a real blow in this position. Hanwoojin with the world’s highest level of force was just a good penalty.
The ball shot into the beggar flew toward Fernando’s face. Unintentional body shot. Amazed by what had been expected, Fernando unconsciously lifted the racket.
Tongue!
Ball that rose high. Fernando’s face bounced reflexively and distorted.
Shortly after that, the thunder fell.
Paa Aang!
“Fifteen Thirty (15: 30)!”
The time since the start of the game so far was not more than 10 minutes. Only three points went to and from the mental power and power went beyond the upper limit. Han Woo-jin, who was guaranteeing the superiority of Sang Sang-myeon, and Fernando, who looked down on Hanwoo-jin, could only understand the situation correctly.
Stronger than you think!
For the first time face to face on the court, the two looked at the face of the opponent in front of him, not the emperor.
