Chapter 88.2 - Hola! Valencia! # 2

The ATP250, the Valencia Open, has been a regular tennis tournament since 2003. The opening of the Valencia Open in 2007, when Juan Carlos Ferrero, formerly ranked number one, won the championship,

It has attracted much attention and love from the locals until it reaches gold.

Not only that, but Raphael Nadal had gone through in 2005, and it was a well-known tournament in Spain, where more than 80 competitions are held throughout the year.

In addition, this year, the 2007 Valencia Open attracted more attention and audience than expected. I didn't expect much because the faces of the players were lower than the previous ones.

It was a whirlwind, not time.

Winner of the previous year, Nicholas Rodrigo.

Ranked 36th in the world, Stanislas Barberinga.

Hanwoojin ranked 29th in the world.

When the contest almost became a one-man show of Nicholas, it spread to Sampajeon and the citizens who were interested lined up. It was quite early, but the convention center was crowded with so many people that it was hard to find an empty spot.

"After all, I'm here again this year. Didn't you say you're going to watch TV at home this time? "

"'I don't have a sense of that.'

Two middle-aged men appearing to be friends, whispering, but with a pretty funny face. One of them was a marrow tennis maniac who visited the Valencia Open each year.

The signs were powerful. The trembling voice that leaked between the lips of Bourton proved it.

"'Woojin… Woojin Hana. I didn't realize that the opportunity to see it in real life would come so soon. "

"Hmm, that player's name is quite unique, are you Chinese?"

"No, it's called Korea. I'm the most anticipated player in this tournament. "

"Are you ready to say that?"

The friend looked slightly surprised, touching his shaggy beard. In the West, the best-selling barbringa was also more anticipated than last year's winner Nicholas. When I hear that sound

It was about. The man immediately opened the pamphlet with a line-up and put his finger on the ladder with the unusual name "Ujin Han".

Spanish players are half and most European players, so it didn't take long to find his name.

"Here you are, Woojin Han. It's the second round of the first round. "

"'Look at it. That friend will wipe out the Valencia Open. "

"'Chill out. I know where you look. "

The two men shook their mouths. There was nothing to say. The 2007 Valencia Open was just the beginning of the game.

* * *

It may sound a bit absent, but I want to talk about it for a moment. Of course, the term "perception" refers to the relationship between sports players, including tennis. A strong attacker and a defensive line

It is the affinity of a player who is excellent in number and technique and a player who is physically outstanding.

However, there is one case that people often misunderstand. The difference in skills is noticeable only when confrontation with conflicting attributes such as attack, defense, skill and strength is encountered. George Forman was defeated by Muhammad Ali

Rum, many expect a one-sided game.

In reality, however, this is not the case.

The more the Sangsang plays, the more chances they have to compete beyond their skills gap. If George Forman had been able to hit Ali in one room, the winners and losers would have been recorded upside down. The two players' poles were located at the poles and poles,

Both fights started with a chance to beat your opponents.

And on the contrary, the players with similar styles were often unilaterally played. This is because the situation where the game does not work with each other. Therefore, the game is decided by the difference in skill that is only a piece of paper.

Is not uncommon.

A similar example was also played in the first round of the ATP250 Valencia Open, Han Woo-jin and Ivan.

Paaang!

A cheerful ball sounds. Han Woo-jin aimed at the sideline and smoothed out the digging batter. The rally near the baseline was a good battlefield for that type of hitting ability. One thing

If there was anything else,

'… Ivan Sergio, was it the same type as me? '

The opponents were also the ones whose main focus was a rally at the baseline. Ivan Sergio, he was a style player who, like Han Woo-jin, pushed his opponent under the pressure of his strokes. Strong blow based on Spanish forehand

The simplicity of repeating turns into a terrible attack technique that can't be blocked even though it is obvious after a certain level.

So he had no words but bad luck.

At the same time, the same type, Hanwoojin, who has overwhelming force and skill, was caught against the first round.

Paaang!

"Game Ujin Han! Set won by Ujin Han, 6-0! "

It is Absasal. One set ended with a unilateral development that gave no room for digging from start to finish. Han Woo-jin returned to his bench and recalled the first set with Ivan, which he had just finished with a few sips of water. Pass

It didn't take much time to look back.

'This may be just a physical car. There was nothing like technology. '

At best, the difference in stroke precision or the variety of pitches? Other than that, it was fine to press it with pure force. Honestly, if you evaluate the level of the game, Han Woo-jin himself was hard to score high. Indeed

The adjectives of barbarism were a good match.

The serve won the ace by hitting it with the top spin without any change, and when the receive turn came back, he entered the baseline as he wanted. Of course, the superiority starts with the physical and technical level.

Jiwoo was ahead of the Han side.

"Set 2! Player Ready! "

At the call of the referee, two athletes woke up. Ivan's face, which was briefly examined, was almost contemplated. I knew there was a difference in skills, but I could not imagine that I would be pushed one-sided. Serve games one

He couldn't keep up and was at bay, but he was already facing limitations in terms of mentality.

'For him I'm the worst merchant.'

In a similar style, if you have a player who is significantly better than you, you can think of no chance. There's no way out of it, in Nabal and out of your opponent's palm.

Han Woo-jin had a special skill that could even pierce his opponent's hurdles or even break his virtues, but Ivan didn't even have it. At first, Ivan was on par with the slopes.

"Love All (0: 0)! Ivan Sergio to Serve! "

Even if you hold the serve, you can't find confidence. Ivan had already lost the fight. He picked up the racket with stiff movements and threw the ball up to the wrong height.

Paa Aang!

The power is still alive. When looking at Ivan's status window, his strength stats exceeded that of 63. So you can use this river sub with lost motivation.

Well, it doesn't mean anything.

Paaang!

As soon as the ball bounced, Han Woo-jin's racket crossed the air. One smashed room went beyond the net and dug deep into his baseline before Ivan even corrected his posture. Perfect rising shot that doesn't even react.

"Love Fifteen (0: 15)!"

The referee's heartless voice declared Han Woo-jin's goal. Since it was a unilateral process, the audience was not watching the game but watching the game.

But Ivan felt like having a nightmare. Despite playing the same tactics, there were too many differences. Different force, different restraint, skill to handle the ball and how to operate the court

The experience was different. World rankings 29th and 106th, the interval was not beyond the level of mindset or responsiveness.

Maintaining a breath of peace, Han Woo-jin stared over the end of the game. If it continued to flow in this state, it was a quick decision.

'It'll be over soon.'

Han Woo-jin's guess was correct. The first game of the second round, which will be recorded as the shortest time of the 2007 Valencia Open, was ended literally.

"Game Set! Match won by Ujin Han! 6-0, 6-0! "

Perfect score not given a single game.

The audience who sat still in line with the declaration of the referee cheered by the name of Hanwoojin. Although he had trampled his own player badly, it was the right manner as an audience to give praise to a good player.

Could.

Subsequent applause filled the open tennis court and resounded loudly.

Mate, mate, mate.

And among the claps of applause, there was one who was full of calluses and sounded like a pounding stone.

""… It is awesome. It's more than I imagined. "

A face with a rough beard raised vomiting under the sun cap to avoid the sun. A man who came to Spain to join Hanwoojin, even after pre-scheduled schedules, Barbrinka admired his beard by touching his beard several times.

Vomited.

"I played with it properly. Didn't use volley or other pitches at all and used basic guns and million. You shouldn't expect to lose any energy.

In addition, there was no waste in every move. You'll end up staying near the baseline, moving exactly as you need it, and putting a little effort whenever you need it. If you move like that, you won't have to breathe all three sets.

la. The boar wasn't a physical boar, but above all, it was clear evidence.

The barbringer shook his eyebrows while looking at Hanwoojin's back. What if you had been there instead of Ivan? Every professional has a fire in his heart.

But on the other hand,

'Is it scary, am I?'

Unlike the complexion that turned red with excitement, his fingers were shaking tremendously. For years in close proximity to some of the world's strongest athletes, it wasn't enough to greatly improve the eyes of the Barberinga. Unintentionally increased eye power accurately

I made a survey.

He is stronger than himself.

The truth that could be known without competing drove the heart of Barberinga. A player's struggle comes from denying the opponent's strength and trying to prove his superiority. But even before getting on the court

After confirming the body began to refuse to fight.

If you do not have a difference in skills, but the blinking car's bitter observation was also because the grasp of Hanwoojin's skills are still rising rapidly.

'There was nothing to think about at the time of the debut, and he is far stronger than the game video of January this year. How can a person change in an instant? '

Reality is not like cartoons or novels. In a short time, a simple opportunity to advance if you could not have such a place. Barbinga was one of those people who thought so before he saw Hanwoojin. He will

When I put Nin common sense in front of my eyes, my head hurts.

Still, defeat and despair were not the only things that filled his heart. By facing a mutation called Hanwoojin, Barberinga could foresee that his trip to Valencia would not end empty-handed.

"If it was possible for him, there would never be an impossible thing for me."

Successfully debuted as a pro and spent several years. He also made his mark in the top ATP rankings. It wasn't too boring for me to settle for the doubles with Roger.

But that was his limit.

The barbringer did not escape the top ranks. I already knew myself. You're missing the "something" that players like Roger, Radal and Djokovic have. And Roger and Radall

It was clear that something was found inside Hanwoojin.

That's the real reason why Barberinga came to him. For him, who has been struggling for several years in his stagnant period, his battle with Hanwoojin will be a chance to escape.

'The next four days until the quarterfinals. I can't stand it.

While admitting immaturity, he doesn't doubt his advance to the quarterfinals. The barbringcars weren't at the top, but they were natural enemies of all the players.

Exactly three hours later, the fourth round of the Valencia Open round ended with a perfect score.
