"This concludes our quarter-finals between Han Woo-jin and Lewis Homan. Thank you very much for your support and support.
"At the end, two players come down the court. Oh, Louis Horman's back looks a bit bleak. It's a little bit tricky to lose to a late runner, too? "
"Well, it's inevitable everywhere. Isn't there such a thing in China? The back wave of the Yangtze river pushes the front wave away (長江 後 浪 推 前 浪). Everyone will face someone who will push them back someday. "
The generational change was a fate that could not be avoided in any area, as well as in sports such as tennis. No matter how high the name, even in the last years will have no choice but to give a place to latecomers. Occasionally without giving a seat to anyone
There is a superman who ends his life, but at least it was not Louis Horman.
And it was a story that anyone could relate to if he finished his life as a player. Besides, it was Kim Hyung who actually experienced such a case, so there was more weight in his words, in the eyes of the man who looked at the back wave that pushed him out.
A bit of regret remained, but there was no dull regret.
'If it's such a wave, there's nothing to say.'
It is reliable to take a racket with a calm face. When I first met, there was a little silly aspect, but now it was Hanwoojin, who is becoming a world ranker. In the end, he believed in a way he could not achieve
Junior is advancing. Where else can I be more pleased?
Kim's nose became thick and thick, and he took a few more cups of hot water. Kim looked at Hanwoojin, who was still arranging the racket, and saw him as he was just turning his head.
"… Well?"
Kim, what's going on?
Park Sung-jin commentator caught the sound faster than anyone else. He followed Kim's direction and noticed that Han Woo-jin was facing someone in the audience. Park Sung-jin is a quick camera
I spoke to the party.
"Camera, can you hear me? Please turn the video to the audience seating which Hanwoojin sees. Yes, over there. little bit more."
It was a thing.
"what… ? Is he, Cedric?
"Do you see it in your eyes? Such hair is not very common, too. "
"Cedric Burnett, you've played about two hours ago, haven't you left the field yet?"
In general, professional athletes often leave the field immediately after finishing their race. No matter how good the game was, it was not a normal consumption of health. Unless your partner is any amateur, you can't help it. so
I needed to take a quick break to prepare for the next game.
Cedric was still in the stands. The reason was clear to anyone. To analyze the next match, Hanwoojin.
"This is quite meaningful. Doesn't that mean that Cedric Burnett recognized Hanwoojin as the right opponent? "
"It will be. If you think you can win without worrying, there is no reason to stay. At the 15th place in the world, the spotlight came up, Han Woo-jin! "
"It is Han Woo-jin who is facing each other proudly. Of course it should! I've played against Roger and Radall and are there any chances against Cedric? "
Well, their feelings were a little different.
Hanwoojin was looking at something completely different from others before they could say that they were confident. That was Cedric Burnett's status bar.

'… Again, the ranking is not a waste window. '
The balance between the forehand and the backhand was perfect and the level was high. Bali is known for its specialty level 17. The rest of the skills were not a part of the hole to hold apart. As fast as 68, the net player was the issue.
Compared to Djokovic, the total level of skill fell a bit, but the strength and strength were rather superior. I'm trained for net play that requires repeated braking and rashes. Maybe it's not finished yet
Could also be a dangerous opponent.
"Now you are going."
Does that mean I've seen everything? Cedric, who had been eye-to-eye, got out of his seat and began to step toward the passage where the crowd was exiting. Han Woo-jin stood still and watched Cedric's back as he moved away. Soon, by the time the back becomes invisible.
* * *
As usual, Han Woo-jin, who returned to the team to avoid reporters, was called by the extension after dinner. The origin was none other than the racket office. His racket stringer, Kim Hyo-myeong was successful in obtaining a new racket.
Racquets weren't just a tool for athletes, they were valuable enough to be treated as part of the body. Hanwoojin also left the room excitedly when the new partner arrived. I walked so fast that I was quite far
It was not too soon to reach the racket management office.
Smartly.
"Hyo Myung?"
"Oh, come in."
I knocked on the closed door a few times and the answer came back. As he opened the door, the peculiar smell of the racket control room, where temperature and humidity were completely managed, tickled his nose. Sterile yet moist, inexorable
It was a smell.
But digging was also briefly. Han Woo-jin stepped toward Kim Hyo-myung, who was sitting on the workbench and showing his back.
"that's?"
Black frame not only for Rim but also for Throat and Shaft.
White pattern and letters are added to it.
There was a racket of intense images that seemed to weigh in with my eyes.
"It's a racket called Babolat's Pure Drive. I ate a little while trying to get it. "
He diligently returned the answer, but he didn't notice it. I was just trying to tune the racket's strings. Kim Hyo Myung's work was repeated 10 minutes by inserting, pulling and tightening the strings with delicate hand movements.
It wasn't until the end of the day.
After hitting the edge and center of the racket string several times with his fingers, Kim Hyo Myung finally handed over the racket to Han Woo-jin.
"Now grab it now."
"Then where… "
Han Woo-jin did not look and grabbed the handle. If not, my heart was swollen in anticipation.
Babolat's Pure Drive series was one of the most popular rackets of all time. Babolat was also less popular during this time of year, but later it is a well-known brand that can be found anywhere in the world.
Position it as In the past, even racket was not able to handle.
Kuwook.
'Oh, good? Is it slightly lighter than before? '
It feels as soon as it is caught. The racquet is prepared for players like yourself. When you give strength, you move as you give, but you do not lose the least sharpness. You'll have to swing around to get a better idea, but never double his expectations.
It wasn't an incredible thing.
"String considered Kevlar… I chose poly strings because I thought repulsion was as important as durability. Of the products I know, I am confident that this is the best choice. "
Kim Hyo Myung spoke out the manual written about the Pure Drive products. Even if you read the enclosed product manual, you can still find this kind of information, but this kind of story remains in your head when you speak it.
"We have a repulsion enough to reinforce the power of Han Woo-jin and the durability that is suitable for hard heaters. The control tends to be a bit dull but I thought Hanwoojin would be able to handle it with ease. "
"… Nice. I feel really good. I want to swing right now. "
I want to hit the ball right now. Hanwoojin's forearm reveals his forearm, and his tendons are rising to heat up the muscles. Is this the feeling of the longevity that got the horse? Still not digested food in the stomach, but the body was sweet. He hand
I just turned my racket around with my neck to find the right angle for my body.
Luckily, the racket's adjustment had just finished with it. Kim Hyo Myung nodded silently. I mean, you can swing right now.
However, behind Han Woo-jin, who tried to turn his back immediately, a surprising word continued.
"Can I go with you?"
Paaang!
An intense ball hit the court and bounced high. Although the empty court had no one to pick up the ball, it was hard to get Han Woo Jin's serve from the front even if someone was there.
He can't help but
"232km per hour… I didn't really think that an Asian player would make this restraint. "
Kim Hyo-myeong, who was holding a small speed gun, looked at Hanwoo-jin, who captures his posture with a admiration. A little while before he hit, the afterimage flew at a hazy speed, and after he woke up, he had already bounced off the court.
Even Kim Hyo-myeong, who had seen many players since then, was hard to think of a player who could hit such a high-speed serve.
'No, there is about one.'
There was a man who can not be missed if you serve at high speed. Angie Roddick, the world's fastest serve player. Monster is the world's No. 1 sub-speed with 249km / h restraint. The only name I remembered after seeing Hanwoojin's serve
It was.
"Well, it's definitely better than usual. I haven't hit all my strength yet. "
"… Yeah?"
Kim Hyo-myeong's mouth is missing. 232km is not power? Han Woo-jin's best restraint he remembered was 234 km / h. It wasn't even a power that was only 2km away from the best record. This sounds like a word
I mean.
Whether or not you know Kim Hyo-myeong's eyes, Han Woo-jin was busy reflecting on the taste of the sub he had beaten a while ago. This is because it has been conveyed a completely different sense. From the palm of your hand to your elbow
I was about to do it.
'Is this difference if I change one racket? The last racket would have been tough if I had a repulsion. '
Han Woo-jin's thinking was half right and half wrong. The racket he used now, Pure Drive, also had the unpleasant nickname "elbow racket" because of the heavy burden on the user's arm. That's why pure dry
Brackets have a stiffness of 70.
The higher the stiffness, which is the value of the rigidity of the material, the stronger the resilience. In other words, the string has a high repulsion. Han Woo-jin's previously used racket of the head was not difficult, but it has the strongest rigidity.
Compared to the Ninh Pure Drive, I had to sag a bit.
Of course, not many players can realize such a difference. Players with non-standard muscle strength, like Han Woo-jin, were qualified to maximize the slight differences in rigidity.
However, the shadow of Hanwoojin's face was about to brighten. The new racket could certainly be a powerful variable. If you do not, you can increase your attack power and handle the ball without worrying about breaking your racket.
However,
'It's a matter of whether it works for Cedric.'
Changes to the racket eventually only make up a little bit more of what you already had, but nothing more. The ignorant play like the last quarter-finals against the world's top net player would not be common.
Unlike Louis Horman, physical skills were not yet revealed to Cedric, who was still in his prime. The agility level of 68 is the area that can respond to Hanwoojin's restraint.
As a player, there was no flaw.
If you want to solidify the odds, it would be best to unlock the Balinese skills.
"Ah."
Suddenly, the elasticity burst from Hanwoojin's mouth. The lifting condition that I forgot for a while so far. I felt something about it.
