Chapter 92.1 - First step on the grass # 1

The screen was terribly changed by the commentators. A middle-aged man was facing the camera, backed by a green lawn with a German tennis court. There is no need to explain who he is. On the MBS side

Kim Sang-pil, a veteran reporter who sought cooperation with the broadcaster.

[Yes, I'm sending you from Halle, Germany, where the heat of the competition is heating up. Do you see it all?]

"It looks very good. But the picture looks better than usual, is it because of my mood? "

[Haha, this may be because the camera relaying the competition is brand new.]

"Well, it's good for us. So, how is the atmosphere of the stadium? "

Gossip is only an appetizer that makes the taste of Bonchae to the last. As soon as the hard atmosphere was released, they went straight to the point. It was one of the tasks that the commentator should refrain from cooling down the mischievous atmosphere.

[Hanwoojin and Stefan Pavel's first round will be held, and the stadium is crowded with crowds. Perhaps the majority of the spectators who came to watch the first round came here.]

"Oh, that's great. I understand that the first round of the Halle Open is divided into four courts. "

[Yes. Two rounds per day on four courts, one round for two days.]

In a word, German tennis fans put Hanwoojin's game first in four options. It would have been a good idea that the order of the two most talented players in the tournament did not overlap. Andrew Mare

Lee Woo-jin, and in some good competitions, face was hard to see once the top rankers. It would not be a game that both sides missed.

For a moment, Kim Sang-pil instructed him to turn his camera quickly, knowing that the audience around him was turning in one direction. There is only one thing that can get people's attention in this situation.

There was no.

[Oh, it looks like it's time. This is the appearance of Korea's best tennis star, Han Woo-jin!]

Not surprisingly, at the same time as Kim Sang-pil concluded his talk, two men appeared at the entrance. As always, Asian men looking around with expressionless faces, White men who seem to be somewhere scared with Hanwoojin

Pavel's position.

'Isn't that strong?

As well as ranking, there was an overwhelming difference in skills, so there was no understanding. But such helplessness is not helpful in facing the enemy. Rather, it's more threatening to use evil to get caught. Blind

It was similar to the person who reached the number should not show his back. At the moment he is sure to feed, he bites his neck with a blow.

The status window also had no singularities. Han Woo-jin quickly attracted attention from Stefan and paid attention to the texture of the turbulent grass under his feet. I've experienced a few times in the Squad, but I've never stepped in the right ATP League

It was.

In the first place, lawn courts were very difficult to manage, so it was rare for tournaments to be held in very few areas and countries where tennis is prevalent.

"... I would have asked you to change your shoes."

Was it exactly three days ago? They couldn't help but realize that Hanwoojin was trying to dress the grass court with the shoes he had worn so far. It was as if I saw an indigenous people trying to cross the Pacific in a boat.

"No, are you going to go for grass court hard shoes?"

According to team members, the difference between grass and grass is much greater than the difference between hard and clay. Hard coat which belongs to the friction side on the premise that it was well maintained. Claycoats with strong deterrence due to their rough surface make no big difference

I mean. But grass courts are different.

'It's definitely slippery. It's soft, but it tends to disperse too easily. It's better to refrain from sprinting? "

The feeling of the player was nothing compared to that of the general public. Just stepping on the coat a few times, Hanwoojin quickly gained an understanding of the grass court. Less recoil when lowering weight, the force can act horizontally

The more slippery, etc. The advice from the team members and the advice I received from Kim Sang-pil matched each other.

The choice of changing the shoe to a thin, coarse sole was also a result of their advice. Shock-absorbing is chosen by the soles of the turf to reduce the thickness of the cushions and increase the friction by a little.

However, Han Woo-jin, who tried to roll his feet with Myface, couldn't resist the progress of the game. Following the call of the referee, the two athletes eventually tossed the coin within reach of reaching out.

ping-!

Han Woo-jin picked the front and Stefan picked the back. It quickly became clear which side the lucky goddess smiled. The coin that appeared in the palm of the referee had a human face.

'It's a good start.'

Han Woo-jin accepted the ball and relaxed with natural movements. It was his first fight in an unknown realm called turf court. He had a chance to collect data earlier, so he had no better situation.

"Ujin Han on my right! Stephen Pavel on my left! Ujin Han to Serve! "

In response to the referee's voice, the two players walked apart. The two referees raised their rackets and the referee declared the start of the game in a loud voice.

"Love All (0: 0)! Play! "

There was no need to hesitate. Han Woo-jin did not hesitate to throw the ball. Anyway, the ignorance of the grass court was not something that could be solved by waiting. Rather, it would be better for the opponent to go out aggressively now.

Paaang!

Hanwoojin's choice was over before the rising ball sank. Wimbledon uses a bit of special turf, but the general turf court is a common scene where athletes who are good at serve and volley sweep the competition. Hanwoojin also has such a climate

Therefore, I tried to serve & Bali.

But he missed one thing. If you do not know how powerful your serve will be on the grass, you have not been able to reach it.

Paang!

Small sound compared to hard or clay. The ball was deprived of most of the noise by the grass and bounced like a wild boar prepaid. The bound that crosses the low-speed quickly reached the level that could hardly be received by Hanwoojin's strength.

Stephan was scarcely lacking.

"Fifteen Love (15: 0)!"

Han Woo-jin's face, which ran to the unintentional service ace, was awkward. Does a sub make that bounce without using a talent? Han Woo-jin couldn't be easily coped even if he just received the same serve.

It was about.

'Grass court is the world of river sub, and it can't be said that this is wrong.'

No matter how hard you hit the serve, you bound to the court and you couldn't do it. The same was true for both hard and clay. On the turf court, however, the momentum was more immediate right after the bound. Besides, it is strong to swing a racket

It's all low. If you don't respond with agility, you lose timing.

Therefore, it was only natural that a strong serve player won the grass court. No matter how I pick it up, I can't stop the volley following the posture. Sub & Bali is one of the winners of the grass court.

Yu was there.

And the winning method is a winning method because it can not be prevented. Subsequently, Han Woo-jin's three sub-foots followed Stephen's service coat.

Paaang!

"Game Ujin Han! Court Change! "

One game that passed like a bean roasted in a lightning strike ended. In less than five minutes, the game is over.

Four consecutive service ace, the word overwhelming indeed was the scene.

* * *

-Ha ha ha, Hanwoojin! I came forward thinking about Serve & Bali, but I'm sorry. I didn't think that Service Ace would come out?

-I saw that too. The rest of the serve was farther away than usual. It was a ball sent to Stefan, but I didn't know how powerful his serve was on the grass court.

Two interpreters, who understood the situation, smiled and talked. Do not get the ball to pass over to receive the score, where is this conte. The strange expressions of Hanwoojin excite the feelings of the two.

It was a factor.

As soon as three successive subs were scored with service ace, Park Sung-jin opened his mouth as if he excused one game that was overly frivolous.

-Viewers, don't get me wrong. It's not what Stephen can't do. Han Woo-jin's serve is hard to pick up.

-Yes. We can see the ball roughly from a distance, but the player facing the front just flashes something and the ball is gone or different.

It also meant that Hanwoojin and the grass court had good qualities. Han Woo-jin's style was surprisingly true in the grass court so that even the all-out serve won the service ace. Of course, the grass court is on his side.

I wouldn't give it aside, but it was amazing that the damage that was hard to find a comparison target was higher.

And in the next two games, the two players' dominance split more clearly.

Paaang!

The court is not on anyone's side. It was not Han Woo-jin's one-way or Stephen's. Faster sub-bounds are environmental factors that apply to anyone. Stefan's serve also bounced off at an alarming rate.

However, Stefan was not Hanwoojin, and compared to Hanwoojin's serve, he had no speed or power. The level that could surpass the reflexes of Hanwoojin, who raised the physical level to the level equivalent to the Big 4, was hardly possible.

Paaang!

"Thirty Fifteen (30: 15)!"

Only miss twice in the unfamiliar bound. Hanwoojin's counterattack began from the third point. If you have irregular bounds, you can respond with your body, not your head. The situation that cannot be calculated is left to the instinct. When I learned the lesson

It was only two weeks ago. I could not have already forgotten. There was an unknown laughter at the corner of his mouth, which took Stephen's serve.

'You like it better than you think?'

An unfamiliar environment, the grass coat of the ATP league that I stepped on for the first time in my life. The grass court was a suitable battlefield for Hanwoojin, so much that he was worried about just before the competition. His serve became stronger than expected.

Only did.

The physics of the two big players decided the whereabouts of the match, beyond the difference that the 23rd and 157th and inevitably stated.

"Game Ujin Han!"

Game score 2-0.

Stefan's complexion, braked from the start, turned white. Han Woo-jin, convinced of victory, accepted the ball again. The pitch still to be tested remained like a mountain.
