Chapter 90.0 - Adios, Valencia! # 0

Tennis tournaments often started around 10 am. As a result, it is common for athletes to wake up several hours earlier and finish their meals on a diet that will not burden the stomach.

It was. Hanwoojin could not be an exception to such common sense.

After finishing his meals at 7 o'clock in the morning, he wandered around the hostel, preparing for any indigestion. About 20 minutes of walking outside after meals not only increases digestion efficiency, but also frees excess calories into fat.

It prevents you from doing what you do.

Hanwoojin, walking at a moderately high speed, drifted over his face as he scrutinized a nearby new building.

'The surrounding landscape is getting tired.'

No matter how much Valencia is there, there are exotic sights everywhere. I stayed for more than a week and was tired of turning around similar places every day. Hanwoojin now go to some alley which

If you go through the byway was able to think of where it leads.

Go straight, turn right, go straight back, turn left, and now you walk without seeing the signs, the bridge will find its way. It was early in the morning, so there were no people on the street, so there was no concern. Hanwoojin check his condition

Now I turned on the status window.

[Hanwoojin]

Strength 70 + 2 / Stamina 68 / Agility 68

HP 2580/2720 SP 1050/1050

Forehand: 17/20

Backhand: 14/20

Sub level: 19/20

Bali Level: 16/20

Smash Level: 13/20

Dropshot Level: 14/20

Robe Level: 12/20

Special Skills: Stinger (Sub / Stage 2), Slug (Smash), Storming (Bali)

Nothing has changed significantly before the quarter-finals, but the two skill levels were up one by one. Backhand and drop shots were two of those skills.

'They beat the barbing car and the backhand level went up… Perhaps you studied your backhand and gained experience? It seems like the backhand has become smooth since that day for some reason. '

In the quarterfinals, Han Woo-jin studied the backhand thoroughly by observing everything about him.

It didn't miss a single detail: how twisted the wrist was, how strong the ball bounced, and the angle of the racket. That eerie observation will eventually bring Hanwoojin's backhand technology to the next level.

It will be lost.

By the way, the level of the drop shot has gone through a very vain process. Han Woo-jin's mouth, which recalled yesterday's game, squeaked slightly, and some fuss couldn't be locked.

"… Even if it's a baseliner, what would you do if you didn't get stuck in the baseline? "

The Spanish player he faced in the semifinals, Santiago's style, was ridiculously simple. It was all about staying near the baseline and returning the opponent's ball strongly. Certainly near the baseline

Defensive and offensive abilities were pretty good… That was the problem.

If Hanwoojin attempted a volley or a drop shot, he would run out of time one minute and missed the ball. In addition, the rallying ability of the baseline, which seemed quite confident, is only a new level of blood compared to Hanwoojin.

did. Perhaps Daejin was very good, and all of his opponents were Spanish forehand users with similar teams.

Well, thanks to this, I was able to maintain my strength and energy without using a special skill, so it was the best as a result.

Han Woo-jin's walk through his thoughts crossed the front door of a new quarter. The clock hanging by the excessive desk pointed to 7:23. It was about 7 minutes left until the appointment with Kim Sang-pil.

'Interview on the morning of the final day. This is my first time. The uncle is definitely with the former director. '

Feelings plugged in, and after doing something common sense or whatever, they then think. If there is a problem, then there may be some disagreement, and in most cases it was again difficult for things to go smoothly. Original geek

Depending on the presence of this ability to receive the treatment was different.

Ugh!

Exit through the door in response to the elevator's light reminder. The time shown on the watch was 7:28. It seemed to arrive at the right time. Stop in front of the intended visit and knock on it, as if you were waiting

The doorknob rotated.

"Ah, Han Woo-jin! Did you come jogging right away? "

"Yes, it doesn't take long… "

"Here is a glass of water, and I'll get some towels from the bathroom."

Kim Sang-pil's back was farther away before he even said he didn't have to. Hanwoojin, who didn't feel the need to follow and dry, drank water in a cup that had been placed on the table. Moisture moisturizes the moisturizer

Wet it.

"Okay, here's a towel. Isn't the room hot or cold? "

"Fine. It's just nice. "

"Let's get right to the point. "It's not a live broadcast with microphones, so I'm going to push my tensions, and I've decided to inspect and export them anyway, so you don't have to worry about what you're saying."

As it was hired exclusively by NK Group, it seemed to accept the review of the article contents. Originally, the interference in the contents of the article written by the journalist was difficult unless breathing more than the editor of the press. But this time

The agent and agent Shin Se-yeon of NK Group was more than the editor-in-chief.

"First, let's go to a simple question. In fact, you are new to Spain, Europe's strongest tennis nation.

"Well… I was envious. It was amazing that people were excited about watching tennis players. Honestly, more people signed here than in Korea. "

Unfortunately, the truth was not mixed up. Recognizing Hanwoojin, more than half of them approached him with a healthy attitude and asked him to sign it. Like football or baseball players, I've never been interested in this way.

There was no. Literally, culture shock was the right word.

"Oh, how is your view of tennis in Spain? You must have been surprised at the Barcelona Academy. "

"Yes, I was very surprised. You know why Spanish tennis is so strong. It was the best environment for young people who dreamed of playing tennis. "

"And you met Radar and played a friendly match. What would you say about that?"

"It's still hard at Clay. But I kept on trying to go out with them. "

It's a shame but the tone of a new voice was quite up. Radal was the first friend I made as a foreigner. Good attachment and good crush type he could not listen to him could not. Even if faced with

I can compete with my best without any regrets.

Kim Sang-pil, who received all the words of Han Woo-jin, ended up with questions about the contest.

"What about this tournament ahead of the finals? How do you compare to other competitions you have gone through? "

"It's definitely easy to get up. But I don't think we can discuss the quality of this competition. It's different from what I see now and how I feel a few months ago. "

It was Han Woo-jin, who hit the final with a ruckus, but the level of the Valencia Open was never so low. Only the World Rankers who participated can compare to the three and the three, but at a level that can sweep the Challenger or Futures tournament.

Were the majority of players. Unlike the past, Han Woo-jin was so strong that it was a mismatch of cognition.

Kim Sang-pil's face, which he understood without any misunderstandings, was colored with surprise. If you listen to Hanwoojin's words straight away, you can say that you have improved enough to look down on yourself in just a few months. Besides, let's sleep on that fact

It was one of the surprising reasons that we were each.

'It means you can measure your own skills objectively. As you have seen, I'm not a big guy. . '

Skills can be seen more clearly by a third party than you. The measurement of players who rely on perfection was too easy to give inaccurate results due to their overestimation and underestimation. So the coach or coach

And manage the players while the agents are together.

After a while, the idea of ​​falling into Samcheonpo was removed from the corner, and Kim Sang-pil turned to the subject again. There is a chance to investigate how accurate Hanwoojin's self-analysis is. I'm talking about the feelings ahead of the final.

It was time to divide.

"The finalist Nicholas Rodrigo is a Spanish prospect who has a career in clay court. The winner of the Valencia Open last year, do you have any idea how to lead the game today? "

"Hmm… I do not know."

Han Woo-jin, who was fluent in immediate answers, paused and shook his jaw. I was thinking about how to return the answer. But there was no shadow on his face, and the fear of the game today

I couldn't see it. The answer came about three minutes later.

"I don't look down on Nicolas. The winners of the previous year, plus many times more clay experience than me, will be different. By the way… "

"By the way?"

Han Woo-jin laughed. It was because he was funny that he did not feel any tension even in this phase. And the cause of the insensitivity was not far.

"It was only two weeks ago that I broke up with Napa. No matter how strong Nicolas is, he feels better than him. Wouldn't it be at least as good as the 10th edition? "

"… exactly."

Kim could not deny it. Nicholas was a talented young man who had gained experience in clay and was prominent at a young age, but he was only a moon and a firefly compared to Radal, who was unable to access the throne. Dozens of matches with that Radal

Hanwoojin had not been able to threaten with presence.

"Besides… "

"Well?"

As I thought it was over, Kim Sang-pil raised his head. Han Woo-jin looked at the stadium of the Valencia Open, looking slightly over the window of the hostel, with a slightly eerie face. Impressive eyes and eyes full of vigor.

"I feel good today."

* * *

The finals of the Valencia Open vowed to sell out tickets three hours before 10 am. Tickets that were reserved for purchase on site, instead of tickets that could be booked over the Internet or by phone, ran out quickly. Cancer

Despite the limit on the amount of tickets purchased per person, it was impossible for the organizers to dream.

Moreover, it was clear that office workers couldn't afford to watch as it started at 10 am on weekdays, while some took their vacations and settled on one corner of the stadium. There are some people who come to work in the morning

It was about.

"Nicolas must win. It's humiliating to hand over a Spanish tournament to a foreign player! "

"What era are you from? Don't you know who's on our side? "

"'It's hard to see who's obvious from the style. . ""

"The Claycourt's record is huge on Nicholas' side. Perhaps there will be a match. "

"Well, would Ujin Han be up here if he's clay and dying? I wouldn't be able to match Nicholas. "

Cheers for the same country, whoever wants to win a great player, who analyzes the match between the two players with their own insights. Valencia's tennis court is crowded an hour before the final

The hot air turned into a steamer that reminds me of the sauna.

Spectators wearing handkerchiefs to wipe sweat in one hand and sunglasses to block the sun from above their noses shook hot breaths of the lungs waiting for the two players to appear.

And finally, the clock pointed to 10 am.

Wow!

The two players appeared through the entrance to the center. Hanwoojin and Nicholas stepped onto their courts with their shouts squeezing even the haze. The final stage of this contest was waiting for them.

'Nicolas Rodrigo, he looks more young than the picture.'

"Ujin Han on my right! Nicolas Rodrigo on my left! "

Hanwoojin is on the right and Nicholas is on the left. The referee, who declared the court's position, pulled out the coin straight away. Cointos was very exciting.

ping!

The thumb seems to be what the coin is like. But it's destined to fall after all. The two players must lean against their luck and shoot a coin that has disappeared into the referee's palm.

It was Hanwoojin who first opened his mouth.

"Tail."

"Head."

The referee, who confirmed the players' position, clenched his fist. Within the five fingers that seemed to bloom, the silver surface of the coin shone through.

It was the front side.
