Chapter 65.2 - ATP500 Seoul Open # 2

When Han Woo-jin's ultra-fast flat serve won the service ace, commentators were almost insane. They got out of their seats all at once and shouted out with their mouths closed.

-ace! We start very well from the start, Han Woo-jin! The ball didn't look right right now!

-No, how many months have you seen your arrest go up like this? Kim, is this possible?

-I was very surprised. You mean 233km? This is a constraint that can fit within ten fingers worldwide. Angie Roddick, famous for being the world's fastest server, is not too often over 240 km!

Moreover, in Korea, Sydney International, held in January, was not properly broadcast. All the stations were paying full attention to the Australian Open where Choi Yeon-Hyuk appeared. Grand Slam and ATP250, which one to give priority to the situation was clear.

Sydney International, however, was one of the competitions that marked Hanwoojin's growth.

The rewards of the tournament itself weren't terrible, but the stats and skill experience gained by fighting Radal led to tremendous gains. It was coincident with the time when he gained a new power of "slutter". Woojin's abilities around Sydney International are nearly two steps

It was good enough to have changed.

However, Han Woo-jin, who gathered everyone's attention, was just watching the dynamics of Nicholas with a cold face.

'I was eaten. It's a natural reaction for the bridge to freeze when facing these fastballs. '

Originally, when a person encounters something beyond his reaction speed, he or she will harden. The reason is that even a well-trained baseball player can't make a real blow to a ball like a 100-mile fastball.

Tennis was no exception. Tension is an abrasive that, if used well, sharpens the senses, but it is a hardener that hardens the limbs. Nicholas has hardened to a high-speed serve he could not have thought of now.

It was silly to pass this opportunity. Han Woo Jin threw a second serve straight away. The opponent had to get the maximum benefit before the body was released.

Paaang!

This time, he did not use a struck hitter. The smasher clearly guarantees a strong attack, but the stiffness immediately after that is quite uncomfortable. If you were a Nicholas level player, you could come up with a solution just by showing it several times in a row. It was wiser to change the pitch and redemption to give confusion.

Paang!

No matter how hard he was, 48th place in the world rankings was not in vain. Nicholas received a serve at close intervals, even though he responded half a beat late. It was because the restraint fell slightly, but it was an unusual reaction rate.

'Sub Hana is a bunch. Then shall we shake it? '

But it's only in the category of expectations. Han Woo-jin did not panic and caught up with Nicholas' return shot like a shadow. The speed of the ball in a hurry was not very fast, and the pitch was not so simple. Han Woo-jin rotated the whole body scary to catch up with the ball.

Paaang!

One hand backhand. Farther away, drop the ball near the sideline farthest from Nicholas. It's less powerful than a forehand, but at an angle that can't be used without a backhand.

"큭!"

Nicholas hurried outwards, but this time he was forced to be a step behind. In the late 100km / h, when it was fast, people couldn't be faster than the ball over 200km.

Eventually, the ball hit one beat before Nicholas. Roughly curved backhand drive.

Paang!

"Thirty Love (30: 0)!"

Along with the voice of the referee, Nicholas' eyebrows writhed loudly. He was one of the strongest in France and a veteran who had been through prenatal wars. It was not too difficult to find out what Hanwoojin was aiming for with the rally a little while ago.

And it was the same with commentators who have been watching tennis for over 10 years for short and over 20 years for long.

-Hanwoojin, nicely take 2 points! Use fast restraints to feed the right one!

-If you send it from the left sideline to the right sideline, it's ambiguous for Nicholas to pick it up. It's a fight that takes the initiative and starts.

-Yes. Nicholas is not slow to run, but Hanwoojin's ball is too fast. This is why it's hard to be on time.

Being fast is in itself strong. Han Woo-jin unilaterally threw Nicholas as if to prove that. The restraint exceeds 210 without using a slugger. If you really put your strength in the court to the end of the audience to blow the ball remained.

"Forty Love (40: 0)!"

But that was not all. No matter how fast the ball reads and moves ahead, it's not difficult. Angie Roddick's reason for being pushed back to Roger was no different. Physically unaccompanied physicals could not go beyond the top ranker.

The real Hanwoojin's aim was in another place. It was a weakness of a clay court player who came across by chance by the way Radar realized.

'Will it be hard to run with power? The texture of clay will be different from clay. '

If it gets wet, it is different from a rough coat. Hard coats are less frictional than dust. Of course, if the sweat that flows during the game, the dirt that is accumulated along with the shoes are added, it is no longer to say.

Even Hanwoojin, who was so tired of the hard court, sometimes slips, and Nicholas, whose main focus is clay court, couldn't use the perfect footwork. It takes a bit of effort to support the center of gravity, so it's a bit late

It is dark.

Paaang!

The ball flew hard and hit the sideline again. Nicholas, who decided it was too late to stop, stopped, and the referee raised his voice and declared the winner of the first game.

"Game Ujin Han! Court Change! "

It was a preoccupation point. A lineman who made good use of his strengths and opponent's weaknesses paid off. Rather than loosen up the tension, Hanwoojin rolled his feet in place to loosen the less-moving legs than Nicholas.

Who thinks that's a rookie of his second year?

Kim Hyung, who was looking at the stadium from the commentator's seat, was bursting with laughter.

'I thought I might have improved my skills, but… This is really beyond imagination. '

There was nothing to mention about the high-speed serve following Roddick, the tactics for the clay court player, and the sophistication that won't relax after the achievement. It seemed as if the old veteran was a rejuvenator.

Well, if you know the truth, it was not so wrong.

The -1 game was the dominance of the unilateral Hanwoojin player, but I don't know what the second game is. What do you think about Park Commentary?

-Maybe you aren't being beaten like this. Even though Nicholas had a good shot, he wasn't as stupid as he could be. I've never been a loser in the first place. I still have to leave it.

-Park commentary is correct. Han Woo-jin's strategy is half the size if he doesn't serve. If you're a Nicholas player, you're more likely to play net play. It's also known as Bali in Clay Court.

Not long ago, Kim's analysis, which was a top ranking active player, was accurate. Nicolas Durang was going to fight against Bali against Han Woo-jin's long-acting tactics. The power of one hit may drop, but strength was not so important in net play.

"Game 2, Love All (0: 0)! Play! "

Paaang!

Nicholas hit the terribly low start signal. As soon as you cross the net, it spins into the ground, a topspin.

'The bounds are high but not far… I'm aiming for Volley too. '

But this time, Han Woo-jin's ability to see the light.

He sometimes forgets, but being able to see his opponent's status window has proved tremendous power in itself.

An eye that sees at a glance what skills are good and which skills are most proficient. It was very difficult to stab a man with such eyes.

[Nicholas Durang]

Strength 62 / Stamina 61 / Agility 65

HP 2280/2440 SP 910/910

Forehand: 13/20

Backhand: 12/20

Serve: 12/20

Volley: 17/20

Smash: 10/20

Dropshot: 14/20

Lob: 13/20

Special Skills: ???

The highest level of volley in the country, but the main weapons and concealment was less likely. Han Woo-jin perfectly deduced his tactics based on Serve's trajectory and Nicholas' status window. Probably pulling the stage of the rally forward and into net play.

'Who do what you want?'

Don't be dragged by the other person's intentions, do what they most dislike. It was a basic tactic in all fields.

Han Woo-jin stepped forward two steps as Nicholas had intended. It is not in the service court but is quite far from the base line. It was the realm of net play.

By the way, the next correspondence was really absurd.

Paaang!

"What ?!"

Nicholas stepped forward and hurriedly raised the racket. Hanwoojin hit the ball because it flew toward the center of his body. If you listen to the sound of the wind and saep, I felt that I would not be successful.

Tongue!

The ball hit the edge of the racket bounced hard to the side, not the Hanwoo side. Not to go over the net went out of court, the decision was not to mention.

"Love Fifteen (0: 15)!"

What happens when you read your target number. Hanwoojin showed it thoroughly.

After missing many retries and attempting more volleys, Nicholas lost his cool after losing two games in a row.

Of course, he wasn't the one who could win this now.

Paaang!

"Game Ujin Han! 1-4! "

The composition was unilateral. Except for the one game I gave to try net play, I went to Hanwoojin. This was not a matter of tactics or homology. That kind of car could dominate, but it could not be overwhelming. Hanwoojin play a game

As I walked through, I was able to see why.

'… I am stronger. '

He was also ahead of his body, judgment, comprehensive skills, and even a shift in weight. At least Nicholas on the hard court was not Han Woo-jin's enemy.

Han Woo-jin, who had been cautious because of the unfavorable situation, turned up. If you're sure, you're best not to hesitate to push. For Han Woo-jin, who has strong scoring ability, the flow was like having wings on a tiger's back.

It didn't take much time for Nicholas, who was at bay, to lose one set.

Paaang!

A smashed thunder smash hit seven games. The referee got up and raised his left arm, proclaiming the end of one set.

"Game Ujin Han! Set won by Ujin Han, 1-6! "

Wow!

Is it because of Hanwoojin's intense contents? The crowd in the hall shouted as hard as they could. Han Woo-jin, who successfully finished the first set, bowed his head a few times to the audience seats on all sides, and then walked to his bench with natural steps.

Moved on.

dump.

My hips touched me and my weight was dispersed, so I was feeling tired. Although he was superior, he was a strong opponent like Nicholas. As I used sensitive senses and nerves all the time, my mental fatigue was not a joke. The dry throat demanded water late.

"Hugh, it's much harder than I expected."

It was different from the Tokyo Open. Let's try to be able to blindly, the competition that went out with the heart was going to win the competition was not the same. Several times stronger than then, the blood seemed to dry.

Han Woo-jin turned to Nicholas Durang, the character who made him tired. It happened without any thought. So he was surprised. I was looking at him on the other side.

"'Good workmanship, Mr. Han. I was really impressed. "

""Ah… thank you.""

Nicholas has spoken somewhere in English with strange pronunciation. He interestingly noticed Hanwoojin and shrugged his shoulders.

"I think I've chosen the wrong person."

""Yeah? Is it pulpit?

Han Woo-jin was sincerely puzzled. Was there anything wrong with Nicolas without you knowing? No matter how much I think about it. But Nicholas smiled lightly and shook his head. He somehow explained the situation with a happy face.

"Mr. Han, did you win Radall in Sydney?"

"Well, I was lucky."

"'Due to Radall's rampage in Argentina. Usually there's no answer, and then he ran like a crazy cow. "

""Ah… ""

I immediately convinced. Han Woo-jin remembered his young friend and turned away from his eyes.

Radal was just as honest as he was. Perhaps he's been boiled in a fight where there's no place after losing to a dark horse he never thought of in Sydney. And that's what exploded in the Argentine Open.

As usual, the players who participated in the competition would have been smashed by the crazy cow named Radal.

"'Certainly you are strong, Mr. Han. I don't feel like I'm going to win on the hard court. "

""that's""

""However,""

Hanging up with Hanwoojin to answer anything, Nicholas's decisive voice interrupted. He glanced sharply at the face of the man who overwhelmed him with the deep eyes of a French man. Undetermined fighting proved that they never gave up.

"It won't be this way in clay."

Somehow, it could be heard as an excuse for victory or defeat.

But Nicolas's fight was real, and so did the affirmation that he would win if he got stuck in the clay court.

Han Woo-jin felt that he should not avoid the answer here. So he confronted him with a sinking voice.

""However,""

His voice, lower than he thought, resembles a roar of predators.

Looking at the blue eyes of Nicholas who flinched unknowingly, Hanwoojin asserted.

"Today I will win."
