Chapter 14.1 - US Open Junior

Two days have passed since then.

Jin-hee's bombings, which had been poured out every few days, suffered considerable headaches.

'I'm tired, I'm tired. … . '

Unless there was any "meaning" or "necessity" in the act of tracing Yeong-seok, Yeong-seok couldn't stop Jin-hee's willingness to move in small and independent subjects.

"Are you Sam?"

The office door, the end of the steps, was opened and the seat was shouted.

The lax and clear words of Sam welcomed him.

"Did you fight? Why are you coming separately? Jinhee just went back and forth… … . "

"I didn't fight. I think Jin-hee will be self-reliant now. "

As Young-seok shrugs and trembles, Sam replies seriously.

"It's a good thing. Jin-hee as a tennis player must be promising and capable. No matter how you want, you can't always go together. The tour schedule is very likely to be different. "

In the right words, Yeong-seok tried to calm the complex mind.

'One day suddenly came to… Is it independent? '

Sam asked Young Suk in a bright tone that would change the mood.

"Are you asked if you can participate in Major Competition Junior?"

"Huh. But Sam… Didn't I and Jinhee make a professional debut as a Futures? Will you be able to participate in the Junior Championships? "

Sam's question opened his eyes to the eye.

"Youngseok, you and Jinhee are young. I'm non-adult. What's not going to be? "

Young-seok laughed.

"right. Anyway soon US Open ... Next year's Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon… Can I participate? "

"When Jin-hee asked, I gave the same answer… It's possible. But do you need to join Junior in such a way? ATP250 might be better than a junior championship, so you can join the ATP500 in your Asia as an experience. Tokyo or Shanghai… The same competition. "

Sam's words don't have the wrong corner.

You don't have to watch the junior games funny, but you can live as a pro.

But Yeong-seok said surprisingly firmly.

"Sam, the size of the issue is different in Korea. If you're an expert like us and you've found yourself going professional, you won't feel irrational to live as a pro, but you're different. In fact, I don't need any other majors. If it's not Wimbledon, I don't know what kind of competition there is. "

"okay?"

Sam asked as confused.

"Huh. It's going to be in the news, it's in the newspapers, it's going to be an uproar. Perhaps in our country, can we live a lifetime with a career called the Wimbledon Junior Championship? In particular, Jin-hee is a woman and she is pretty. It will be easier to live. The possibility of joining the unemployment team is increasing. … . "

"If it's for a deal, it's okay to pick one of the terms and conditions of contacting our academy."

Sam mentioned the contract as if he had already heard from Jin-hee.

"Well, I didn't even think about it… Wouldn't there be a sponsor that invested that much in Jinhee and me?

"… That's not true. "

Yeong-seok screamed at the temple as if he had a headache, and uttered a word for the end of the conversation.

"In that sense, I will not return to Korea for the next year. I'm going to move the academy to its base. What should I say, extended stay? Can you arrange the necessary procedures and costs? "

Sam laughed.

"The favorite student of the academy's legal team is Yeongseok, you."

"Huh? Why not?

"Your parents are lawyers, and they speak English well, so they speak very well."

Sam laughed.

***

"Mom, did you leave a call?"

Yes, son. They left me in touch.

At the words of his mother, Yeong-seok smiled bitterly.

"Did you hear about the contract? Hanshin Bank… I called you with the representative. … . "

-Huh. He was a senior. I think I saw it before OB… I think I saw it at an amateur competition. We had also contacted. I didn't think the condition was bad… What do you think?

"Good. Do you need more contracts for tennis players, well. I think it's a good condition to put one or two logos on clothes or hats. "

-Um, I think it's good when three of you speak well. There is no cute taste… … .

"… Oh, have you contacted the Academy Legal team? "

Young Suk spoke embarrassingly and made the conversation faster.

-Yeah, that part is over. Don't worry, smash everything. Don't worry because we'll find you when we're in the finals. Bradenton last time? How sad that Young-Ae didn't go back then? Came to my house, drunk and drunk. I'm sorry ... … . Didn't come because he was busy, who said don't come? what the… … .

"I miss my aunt."

Young Suk recalled the love of fluttering a white gown.

Junior rackets are still the most precious item of Young-Suk, even if they are not used anymore.

***

Having talked with his mother and the like, Young-suk hung up and walked out.

'You walk alone at this time. How many years?

Sloppy Jin-hee will be fully engaged in her future by now. Except at mealtimes, there was little time to meet with the stone.

'I have improved my English too… … . '

Jin-hee, who became fluent, was talking with coaches and trying to self-directly explore the problems and ways to improve herself. It was a bit sad and empty, but I didn't express it to know that Jinhee was devoted correctly.

'My problem is urgent too… … . US Open… This. '

In fact, Yeong-seok had participated in a number of major competitions in his previous life.

The major competition, which holds four tournaments a year, is overwhelmingly large, so there was also a "wheelchair division". In nearly 10 years of his career, Young-suk has won twenty major championships. A total of thirty-eight major tournaments were held, excluding two missed schedules, of which twenty were won.

'Too many championship cups.'

A total of four will be held a year, but the major tournaments-Australian Open, French Open (Roland Garros), Jeonyoung Open (Wimbledon) and US Open (US Open) are worth more than the Olympics. If you win this competition only once in your life, you will be given the title Career Grand Slam. Winning all four of these competitions within a year is called the Calendar Year Grand Slam.

Yeong-seok was a historic player shining twice in the calendar Grand Slam. It was the world's top ranking for nearly 400 weeks. Had it been a while, only medals would have been displayed in the room, and the cup would have been stored in a separate warehouse.

In other words, whether he was a wheelchair or not, he was one of the best players in the world with an unprecedented record in the entire tennis title.

"I was disabled but… 큭. "

Young-seok muttered and laughed bitterly.

It was a huge genius of a huge century, but his world was narrow.

Most people looked up, but Young-suk was not satisfied with himself.

"It's a shame."

That's the biggest reason why Youngsuk challenges tennis after the return.

I want to pour out everything and compete with my opponent, I want to reveal the bottom of my competencies, I want to face my limits… … . This became the driving force for the movement.

***

"The schedule is tight."

Sam called Yeong-seok and Jin-hee to begin the explanation.

"The US Open lasts about two weeks before and after Labor Day. Because it's mid-July… Sam is less than a month away. I have to keep busy. "

Sam was quite serious.

"The length of stay is about one month, including two weeks of competition. It's held at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York, so I plan to stay there. "

"Isn't it late?"

Asked Yeong-seok.

The staff of one tennis player is enormous. Moreover, it is the US Open, a major tournament. If you didn't prepare ahead of time, a good place would already be full.

Sam smiled confidently.

"Youngseok, our academy is where we strive to build the most advanced systems in the world. It's a lot bigger than Yeongseok's idea. Unfortunately this year, there were no academy students to play, so I couldn't prepare for it. You can always prepare a place for you two in New York. Trust me. "

"I believe. I trust you. "

Yeong-seok replied with a smile. Sam smiled face to face and explained again.

"It may be a bit crowded, but let's get your biorhythm to the peak on the day of the competition. The training won't go far enough to determine the condition. I'll have a doping test, so I'll manage my eating separately. I'll give you coaches, so train as soon as you get to New York. "

"Okay."

Sam finally advised.

"I'm going to have to manage my physical condition since I start the round of 32 after qualifying."

Youngseok and Jinhee nodded with a nervous face.

***

New York has two airports.

JFK (John F. Kennedy) and LGA (LaGuardia) airports.

Many people love JFK, but Yeong-seok and Jin-hee went to LGA.

Queens, where the US Open is held, is faster to get to the LGA to get to the Queens.

"I'm sleepy.

Jin-hee leaned on Young-suk's shoulder and said, with Young-suk's arm.

"Jinhee you sleep well if you take a plane."

Youngseok smiled bitterly and stroked Jinhee's head.

Even after the Declaration of Independence, Jin-hee was as active as Skink with Yeong-seok.

Yeong-seok looked around the party.

The academy has put a total of fifteen people on the tour of Young-seok and Jin-hee. There was also a fountain.

"Where is the accommodation?"

At the end of Yeong-seok, Sam opened his cell phone and called somewhere, and a small bus approached quietly.

"Hey, I'm going to go soon because I've got him near the convention."

As Sam's promised, the accommodation was ok.

The athletes Yeong-suk and Jin-hee rented two single rooms each, and all the remaining members were to stay in rooms for three or four people.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Sam carried his luggage and asked Youngsuk and Jinhee.

"I'm in bed."

Jin-hee gave a slow answer instead of Yeong-seok. Both Sam and Yeong-seok laughed.

Yeong-seok glanced at the clocks he received from his parents, Young-tae, and Yuri.

"It's not time to sleep yet. I have to have dinner, so clean up and come down. What do you do if you slept too early and get into sleep? "

"Okay, sir.

Jinhee replied in Korean, teased Yeongseok, and went up to clean up her luggage.

Yeongseok mumbled at the back of Jinhee.

"Why do you keep looking like my mother?"
