Chapter 90.3 - Adios, Valencia! # 3

The tension between the two players seemed to burst right away. Nicholas was on the brink of a two step retreat, and Hanwoojin risked playing the game for a long time if he missed this opportunity.

Ash. Either way, it's hard to get out of the way.

Han Woo-jin held over the ball for a while and looked over the net. It was because it was necessary to arrange the thoughts by looking at the opponent's posture and the court to decide which direction and how to aim. I glanced at Nicholas and saw a light wrinkle on the outside of his eyes

Caught

'Is the preparation over there too?'

Did you notice Hanwoojin's unusual momentum? Nicolas was able to concentrate without a single point. Athletes entering that state do not have a blind spot. I can't keep it long, but I find a gap in the short term

It can not be. I had to go through the front with all my strength.

But hesitated for a while only. Just as Nicholas was confident in his technique, Hanwoojin was also convinced of the technology that led him so far.

First throw the ball up.

The right foot is one step backwards, and the body is rotated around the left foot and waist. Stinger was the technology that must make full use of his pervasive strength.

The muscles pulled close to the limit bend like a bow demonstration, and the eyes looking up cannot miss the slight movement of the ball. Because of his characteristic of growing significantly each time he meets the competition once, every moment of exhaustion

It is natural to update the record.

A moment of silence passed, and the racket ripped the wind.

Paa Aang!

The left foot on the rotating shaft roughly scraped the hard clay coat surface. A full-fledged Hanwoojin strike does not allow even ordinary people to admit. Actually the eyes of the audience fell off his body when he finished serving

Before the loss, the ball had already penetrated the net and had its teeth in the coat.

However, the opponent was not easy. Hanwoojin didn't know it, but Nicholas Rodrigo was a Spanish prospect who exploded its potential starting in 2007. I didn't show off my skills, but only on the clay court.

Was also a top-ranking figure.

'Is this here too?'

He could not have known about Hanwoojin. It was Nicholas who had returned to Hanwoojin's harness, which came out every time of crisis or when he needed to push it, ten times and hundreds. And he can draw a conclusion

there was.

If you don't respond immediately after the bound, you won't get it.

The tremendous speed deprives the receiver of the response. Even if you managed to catch up, there was no way to reliably return bounds that bounced low and fast and unexpectedly.

So it was just after the ball was down. Regardless of the direction in which the bound bounces, the moment the ball hits the head from the court, it enters the racquet's range of direction.

'now!'

Concentration with a sore head caught the ball's bound timing. Nicholas just slipped the racket diagonally, heading for the ball on the court.

Indeed, a rare ball game. The winner is,

Tongue!

─It did not exist.

The ball, which pushed Nicolas' racket, floated into the air and went to the other court. It was evidence that the power on the serve and the strength received were almost whistle. Of course the sub is bound to the court and loses more than half the power

It can't be compared, though.

In addition, the high ball was inevitable. The sluggish advances gave Hanwoojin a chance to hit the smash again after he was out of stiffness.

Paaang!

"Forty Fifteen (40: 15)!"

Despite the fact that the scene was left over, the faces of both players remained stiff. Nicolas, who failed to defend with the correct strategy, and Hanwoojin, who failed to bring service ace as a stinger, are not satisfied.

It was.

'I'll be aiming right after the bound. Definitely not as hard to hit a racket as the moment any ball is bound… '

However, when the restraint exceeded 240km / h and proceeded to a flat, he brought a racket to the harness where the track suddenly broke. It was never a difficulty that anyone could implement. Don't you know if it is at the top ranker level?

The problem was right there.

'Damn, a player who looks at this game and decides on stinger will also come out quite a bit. It's hard to say you've scored but you've gained. '

Even the service ace failed and the stinger was sealed for one point as a penalty. The next point meant that they couldn't get help from special technology.

"Ujin Han, Set Point! Forty Fifteen (40: 15), Play! "

The next point immediately followed. Han Woo-jin did his best to beat the serve, but as soon as he saw a gap, it was hard for him to break through the defense of Nicolas, who pulled out a special technique. The stronger you hit, the shorter the drop Bali

It was inevitable to lose. After entering the top rankings, the interplay between styles was the reason.

In terms of style, Hanwoojin was not far behind Nicholas, but the existence of a special technology called 'falling down' became a variable. As the top level of attack, he was attacking himself.

Eventually the fifth point went back to Nicholas.

"Forty All (40: 30)!"

Stinger is back. But Hanwoojin could not easily take out his hand. Previously, it was inevitable that Nicholas could not avoid the ball unless it had floated. Losing confidence is a deceptive law.

'Subs discard'

Nicholas' polling down was a terrible counterattack, but he didn't have any room to deal with it unless he had a slugger. If you don't have stiff time, you can jump in front of the net. For Hanwoojin, not only the damage on the baseline,

It also had a high level of maneuverability. It was quality as sub & barrier.

Paaang!

Slightly pulled out and hit the sub-spaced. The power was still subtracted based on the Hanwoojin standard, and the restraint was still over 200 km / h, but it was a deceleration that could afford to be hit by the receiving side or hitting side.

Paaang!

No special technology came out. Is it because I saw Hanwoojin running forward? Nicholas lowered the racket in parallel, not diagonally. It has moved to the stroke fight that has only been avoided so far.

'Okay, now I can't use special skills.'

At the same time, smiles spread to Hanwoojin's mouth. The situation was flowing as he intended.

Nicholas' polling down was intimidating, but the range was short. Difficulties in catching pitches other than serve or drop shots inside the service court were a lot of trouble. A hand that can take you out of a stroke fight that requires you to back near the baseline

Was not.

Paa Aang!

Invite your body to relax for a while. If there are pure stroke fights except special skills, how many players can overcome Hanwoojin? At least it was an unreasonable demand for the current Nicholas Rodrigo. Besides

His condition was now deteriorating.

Paaang!

"큭!"

The groans were mixed so small that they could not be heard in between. Nicolas continued to rally by depressing the pain in his right wrist that had begun to be felt a while ago. The pain started only five minutes ago.

'Are you upset about being pushed back a little while? ? '

A blow that broke Hanwoojin's harness. The response was close to perfection, but the user's strength was below the threshold. Even if it was received from the front, the whole arm thumped the ball from the side, and the rotation was not light. About 10 minutes was a blow that can only be calmed.

But it's not a situation where you can afford it. I'd rather have been playing with the game, but the opponent had to step back and fight the stroke. It was like a smashed upside down. 1 year old

Of course, you lose at least the endurance to continue two sets.

Nicolas's eyes, instinctively avoiding corners, were bundled to seize the opportunity. As a result, I was forced to gamble on the disadvantaged side. Fortunately, Hanwoojin's blow was also around.

'Deep in the forehand, low in the backhand, fast in the fore… '

Read the tempo. Everyone has its own rhythm. Even Roger Pedro was no exception. Hanwoojin's intense style had a unique rhythm, especially as unique. Calmly waiting for a chance

Before, the pitch that was waiting anxiously flew in.

Paaang!

Two-handed forehand. Hanwoojin is a cannon that boasts firepower just like a cannon. The hatch that pushes in from the front without even thinking about going around.

One more time here.

"Suck!"

Lower the racket as hard as possible. Rather than hitting, Benda is a good forehand. It's a technique that aims for the timing right after the bounds, but it's not difficult to drop straight into the ball if it's honest.

However, it was that power that was beyond imagination.

phut!

The ball bounced into the air without losing all of its momentum, even though it slowed down as much as possible. Returning to Drop Bali accidentally made the ball close to Rob. Nicolas's one-handed force is enough to handle the Hanwoo's stroke

Would not have been.

'It's not bad though.'

I fry high, but it was falling very fast. If it falls like this, it would be possible to hit the court before Hanwoojin could reach it.

And that was Nicholas' second miscalculation.

Paaang!

Hanwoojin jumped down the ball a few meters. It was a result of jumping a little farther upward rather than in front.

Nicholas was forced to make a sad smile by touching his wrist.

In fact, the whereabouts of the Valencia Open Championship were obscured.

* * *

Unlike the one set, which didn't feel more classic than expected, the two sets ended in vain. It was because of the damage that accumulated in the rally followed by Nicholas.

Holding the cup was important, but health was more important than anything else. Not much of a retirement game, but a lot of future. There was no need to cut down player life.

Han Woo-jin, who successfully finished the Valencia Open, came back to the hostel scared to finish the final. The game wasn't very easy, but I ran for more than two hours in hot weather, so my fitness wasn't normal.

'Is it the 23rd place in this competition? . Seed right assignment can be almost confirmed. '

Considering that the place where the seed is placed in the Grand Slam or Masters is in the 30th place, it was almost confirmed. Now I worry about running out of points and the reason for turning my schedule is gone. Of course

If you've long neglected to receive points, the rankings may have fallen off.

However, it is not the idea of ​​ATP ranking that fills the head of Hanwoojin right now. While returning with a cup, the notice in the car confused him.

[Great play! You gain 1 strength for winning the ATP250 League.]

[Great play! Experience gained in return for winning the finals of the ATP250 League.]

[Bali level rises by 1.]

[Sungsung has reached a certain level. Growth below the Masters League is limited.]

[One final achievement has been fulfilled. (1/3)]

"… Final achievement. "

The limit of growth was not surprising because Hanwoojin was also halfway anticipated. What caught his eye was the word 'final achievement' mentioned in the last message. What kind of condition did you meet?

Did you come out?

'There's something end in the system.'

The word final will not mean anything else. Perhaps after accomplishing the achievement, it was likely that they would no longer earn the rewards given to the system. No, not so high, but obviously it would.

'When is it? . '

It is a system that can fill the gap of unborn talent and can be called a seal. I had been together for only two years, but now I was a part of myself who became so used to it that I could hardly imagine the void. Han Woo-jin injured the system for a while

I thought of myself in the future, but I could hardly get a sense of it.

But for a while, Hanwoojin quickly gained strength. It was a speculation that he couldn't see his feet while selling his soul for future things that might be when.

"… Roger. "

England, Wimbledon Championships in June.

If you need to put it in your head, there were many other things. What if you have a system, what if you do not? What he needs to do doesn't change in the end.

smart.

Sterile knock tickled my ears. Listening to the fine voice that followed him, Han Woo-jin decided to think first about what to talk with her, who had promised to have dinner together.
