Chapter 63.3 - Unexpected call # 3

It was neither Han Woo-jin nor Shin Se-yeon who responded to Cho's sincere request. The only thing he had to hear dumbly was the former director who lit up the binocular as if it were a lie. He spit out and spit out the rough voice.

"President, are you serious?"

"… Do you think I'm farming now? "

The same was a rough answer. But it did not stand in the voice. President Cho himself had just known how heavy the burden he had given Hanwoojin. Winning the ATP500, it was hard for even the top 10 players in the world rankings.

And not only that. Former Bishop honestly could not understand President's decision now.

Of course, he did not understand the point of President Joe's words. National sports hero. The revival of the domestic tennis industry based on that. In the past, as Park Chan-ho evoked a whirlwind, Chairman Cho would like to put Hanwoo-jin in such a heroic position.

But if you weigh it again and again, it wasn't.

"I would have forgotten about 250 leagues without it. By the way, 500 is not to think about. Just look at the Tokyo Open. Top 500 players like Roger Pedro put their faces like regulars. It's not a level that Woojin can guarantee

Yes! "

As I talked about myself, my fever went up, and at the end, my face was almost red like a tomato. Even the daytime drink was like a few bottles were complexion. It was an expression of intention that he would not understand President's actions.

In fact, that was right. The ATP250 still won the prize for low rankings, except for a few competitions. This was also the case when Han Woo-jin held the first ATP League championship cup. By the way, there's only one step up, and the ATP500 also has a depth

The circle is different.

"Hey, let's do what he didn't even have to spend his whole life doing? Is this really too much? "

As former coach said, even the Korean tennis giant, Kim Hyung, has never rated a league of over ATP500. Perhaps there was a reason why I chose the Tokyo Open as the final stage of my professional life. The place that Kim Hyung did not reach even though he gave all his youth

It was ATP500.

No matter how fast Woojin is growing and sprouting, it is too much to erase this burden. President Cho's grievous protest was taken with a sad face. But he also had some reasons he could not back down.

"You know what you think. Maybe you didn't listen, but you knew. "

Mr. Cho said he could, and pulled out a few documents from his desk drawer. I couldn't see any Korean characters from the beginning to the end because they were sent from foreign countries. Only the alphabet was written.

Cho, who was trying to hand it over to his former director, retired when he recalled that he was not good at English. Then he began to read the contents of the document himself.

"I'm going to skip the rough stuff and just read the main story. … Dear President of the Korean Tennis Association. It is a great honor for us to host the ATP500 League in Seoul, Korea. It would have been difficult without your help. … Hmm, it's all fours. I just summarize

Can I give it to you? "

No one noticed his head here. The president threw the document he was holding on his desk and broke his hand.

"To be honest. Korea still lacks in many ways to attract the ATP500 League. Infrastructure is lacking, too, and level of player falls, too, and public interest is light…. There's a lot of trouble here. The same is true for this tournament. If it wasn't for me that I invested in private money, ATP500

250 would have been harder. "

Three heads nodded at the same time. President Joe, who had never expected an answer in the first place, did not stop speaking.

"So we need to prove. That Korea deserves to attract the ATP League. "

"Did you ask Woojin for that?"

"Yeah, if you take the championship from the host country, you'll be able to convince the associations with hard hair!"

Maybe they had a situation that they do not know. President Lee's eyes shouted as if it had caught fire. Have you ever suffered any humiliation on the ATP side? It's hard to say that you're not the three people who know the tennis culture in the Western world.

It was.

But President Cho did not say that.

"Kim Hyung retired, and Choi Yeon-hyuk is in need of an injury. Only you can believe. "

He's just two hot-eyed eyes, betting Han Woo-jin on his last hope.

"I promise you all the support I can. Please win this competition. "

After leaving the president's office, the three spoke for a few minutes. I couldn't imagine this happening. Hanwoojin, who had been shut up all the time until he got in the car to NK ship, turned to Shin Se-yeon.

"Seyeon, did you get a list of candidates from the president?"

"Ah yes. I put it in my bag. Would you like to take it out? "

"I'll ask."

She wandered around the bag for a moment and pulled out a thin piece of paper and handed it to him. Although it wasn't translated into Korean, what kind of translation would you need for the big dot with only the names of people? Han Woo-jin picked up the paper she had received from her from the top.

Unknown name, unknown name, unknown name… Sometimes I stopped for a while whenever I saw a familiar name, and I remembered for a moment if something was caught. Some were rising and some were not sinking.

But exactly 10 minutes later, Han Woo-jin had no choice but to look serious about the two names. The names were obviously going to be the biggest obstacle to the Seoul Open.

Angie Roddick.

Lobak Zokovich.

Either way, they were more than enough to guarantee the odds against Hanwoojin. To Angie Roddick, who boasts the world's fastest serve, to Lobac Zokovic who later grows up as a successor to Pedro. The only consolation was that Roger Pedro, the strongest of the present times, did not participate.

'If you participated in Roger, Radal and Murray, I would believe any grand slam.'

Only Han Woo-jin, who remembers the future, could think of it. Djokovic is still one of the top 10 rankings in the world, and Roddick had lost his throne to Pedro after his heyday. Neither of them was far from being the world's strongest

Was meant.

But Hanwoojin's face did not know how to stretch out. No matter how unsuccessful Zokovych was, even if Roddick was in his prime, they were either strong or pleasing to an age.

'After all, is it hard?'

I never thought the ATP500 would flow easily from the start. To the big four of the future, the world's strongest in the past. I felt like going to be a contest. It's not a wave that can be easily overcome. After overcoming this competition, Hanwoojin has a few steps

You will be able to progress further.

Quick!

The car stopped to scare him to think. It seemed to have arrived at the destination. Even before Hanwoojin renewed his inspiration in the NK ship building, which he saw in a while, the former coach sitting in the driver's seat turned to look at them.

"Then the president said that he sent a special gift to the Squad."

"A special gift?"

"Oh, don't ask me because I don't know what it is."

The former coach got out of the car with a blunt look. Perhaps he understood President's request as reason, but he still seemed not convinced. The remaining two faced each other with a puzzled face and then followed him inside the squad.

'It's been a long time here.'

Two months, like a storm, made the team unfamiliar with the team that stayed longer than home after becoming a pro. Outdoor courts where we practiced with other players, and tracks that we went around a few times to build strength. It's only when I see you again that memories are coming to life

did.

But the familiar sight was just there. The three entered the lobby and encountered something they had never seen before in the squad. To be precise, it was 'people'.

"… Hey, who are you? "

The former bishop came first and approached them. They were screaming until Hanwoojin's party approached, and they flocked to see the former director's face. The momentum approached the former director who sprinted backwards.

The story of the crowded lobby was settled about 30 minutes later.

* * *

"So… You sent me? You? "

Han Woo-jin sat in the lobby chair and opened his mouth, looking at them lined up in front of him. Then the man standing on the far right stepped forward and reached out.

"Yes, Han Woo-jin. I'm Kim Hyo-myeong, who was hired as a racket stringer for Han Woo-jin. Please treat me well."

"Ah… Yes, nice to meet you. "

The black horned glasses, short curly hair and eyebrows were impressive. But his hands were tighter than he thought, and his calluses proved his career.

Racket Stringer refers to a technician who adjusts the racket of tennis players to an optimal state, and it was very difficult to find a high level in Korea. It was inevitable because there were few tennis players in the first place.

However, the man who introduced himself as Kim Hyo-myeong's certificate was more than enough to prove his level.

"You're brilliant at the Grand Slam Symposium as an international first-class stringer. It's amazing. "

"Hanwoojin is amazing. To be honest, I didn't believe much when I talked about President Joe's grand slam. I thought it was too early for Korea to climb the world stage with tennis… "

Kim Hyo-myeong was thrilled with his face touching his hand several times with Hanwoojin. There was also a rumor that a first-class racquet stringer could guess its skill and style just by looking at racquet damage or players' grip. Maybe he just made a handshake

I didn't know about my capabilities.

The next time I shook hands with him was a woman in her mid-30s. She was wearing a white gown, perhaps a medical figure. After shaking hands, she looked at Hanwoojin's fingers, palms, and elbows several times.

"I am Lee Soo-yeon, who was selected as the attending physician of Han Woo-jin. Orthopedic surgery, sports medicine. … By the way, that's amazing! It's the first time I've ever had such an arm.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee Soo-yeon."

Perhaps the system's ability was a departure from Hanwoojin's physical condition.

Lee Soo-yeon glanced at his age with his bright eyes as if he wanted to dissect him. Even Hanwoojin, a very strong heart, was creepy on his back.

And her career was gorgeous as well. John Hopkins graduated from graduate school.

Besides they were not only. Lined up one by one came out and reached out. After being introduced to a dietitian and a masseuse and a coordinator, Hanwoojin became half-faced. I'd say it would be the best way to support you.

As we saw at the Tokyo Open, Roger Woo and other top rankers carry all sorts of assistants to assist them, so Hanwoojin also follows them. They were Han Woo-jin's team members, who were selected by President Cho on a strict basis.

It was about 6 hours before returning to Korea.
