Grand Slam

1st Loss # 2

Wheeeek! Kuaang!

The serve twists and pours all its power at the moment of impact.

The elasticity and strength of the big toes, shins and calves, knees, and waist stayed on the shoulders, and the elbows smoothly climbed over and fiercely burned the ball.

Shhhhh!

The sound of cutting through the atmosphere is unusual.

‘Faster here?! ’

Bang!

“Deuce!”

Back to the beginning of the set. A more powerful and fast serve fires through the rock.

‘Amazing……. ’

I had no choice but to admit the quartz. That it was a great opponent who threw a fresh thrill at the rock that thought he had only eaten after completing the quest.

“Game Set and Match One by Roddick! Count of 6-4, 2-6. ”

It was the first defeat for marble.

But no one in the stadium recognized it as a defeat.

The score was unilateral, but the first round lasted almost three hours.

I managed to find a gap between my opponent and the constantly aggressive opponent, and the propensity of the quartz to press was right, so I dragged the game for a long time.

The struggle of quartz with a small 12-year-old body was clearly overwhelming and choked everyone.

“Huff… puff… ”

Both athletes had their faces darkened, and they were constantly longing for air to ‘live’ whether the dirt was on their clothes or not. You hear the coaches yell out loud, and the urgent footsteps tickle the ears of the marble.

With an urgent hand, someone put a liver oxygen breathing apparatus in his mouth.

“Huff-puff… ”

I feel a little more comfortable breathing.

One of the coaches lifts the little body of the marble onto the lift. The opponent leans forward slowly, pouting, and the scene catches the eye of marble.

‘Amazing guy……. Wait, Roddick? The Roddick?

The marble was ridiculous.

The opponent was the Roddick who boasted the best serve in the world.

I felt like my elbows were moving strangely.

‘Then you’re three years older than me. I’m 15 now… Hmm. Next time, don’t think about it. ’

Thanks to my past life, I was able to infer Roddick’s current age by virtually memorizing the profiles of top athletes.

“Young-suk!! ”

Jinhee suddenly ran to the sweaty face.

With the game going on at the same time, it probably ended earlier than marble.

‘By the way, I didn’t even see you doing well while focusing on my game. ’

Jinhee grabbed hold of her hand. When I saw his face, I could see tears pouring out of my eyes immediately.

‘It’s not a neodrama… …. What the hell? ’

I asked Jinhee if she won with her eyes.

“I won!”

Jinhee who understood Yonke replied, swallowing her tears. When I saw him, I smiled as if I was satisfied and lay down comfortably.

‘I’m sleepy, sleepy…. ’

In the tournament held in Week 2, marble had a bitter result of a one-lap drop. Jinhee, on the other hand, won a victory by defeating the most powerful opponent in the first round, and succeeded in the second half of the month at the age of 14-17. The quarrelsome rock had no choice but to spend Sunday cheering for Jinhee.

“You okay?”

Jinhee asked marble with a worried tone. It’s awkward and I’m worried about preaching encouragement to marble for the first time in Jinhee’s life.

“It’s okay. You could lose. ”

The marble replied freshly.

In fact, the quartz was fine.

Rather, he had great intention of competing as a child with the world’s leading contender.

‘Then it will be over 230 gigahertz……. ’

If he lives his life according to the speculations of marble by grinding it constantly, Roddick will rise to the ranks of the absolute man who sprinkles such a sub. Sub & Bali, intense forehand… very talented athlete.

‘Still… I can win next time. ’

The marble quietly burns its precepts. This defeat was also a big difference in skill, but it was much bigger by the body. The quartz first made a commitment to focus on training at the current pace.

“Congratulations, Jinhee. Good job!”

Jinhee smiles at the praise of marble. I was confident because I was standing in front of a quartz with a defeat. In fact, Jinhee felt like going crazy because she was happy. After years of being alone with marble, marble naturally recognized as a competitor, and even though the gap was very difficult, it was only when I came here that I realized what position I was in among my peers. The shift in perception was simple, but she came quite close to Jinhee and let her rob her mind of its burdens.

Seeing Jinhee like that, marble smiled.

“After we eat, let’s go to the video analytics room and watch the game. Look at me too, Jinhee look at you too. ”

“Yes!”

Jinhee stuffed up the marble with fine muscle pain, and the two of them entered the restaurant.

* * *

“Oh…. ”

A low admiration came from the marble watching the video of Jinhee’s match.

“Fantastic. I can see it from the video of the game. Jinhee is good at this. ’

Opponent’s tennis is about power.

Named ‘Modern Tennis’, this style focuses primarily on strength and speed. Strong lower back, natural weight transfer timing, and unshakeable weight. Train it to learn to swing like water, and build stamina to hit the ball endlessly. And it takes a long time to complete them, repeating trial and error on the coat how to finally use them, that’s modern tennis.

‘The opponent… is really typical. ’

If you think about tennis simply by dividing it with technology and strength, in men, it’s skill = strength. No matter how neglectful we are, we cannot take part on the world stage. On the other hand, for women, skill is power. Overwhelming.

In 2014, it was increasingly a relic of the past, as a beautiful young athlete wears all sorts of elegant techniques and just squeezes her coat. He could not overcome the overwhelming power and the simple tennis that ran quickly to the left and to the left.

But Jinhee was different.

First, Jinhee’s physical condition was not compared to those of her age who value strength and speed. The lack of strength is easily supplemented with quick feet and accurate impact alone. The user also attempts to tease the target with the user’s control. The crucial thing is that the movements before and after as well as left and right are different from those of other female athletes.

The monitor finally shows the best shot of the match.

“Aah!”

The other party’s throat sounds louder than the racket hits the ball. The heavy serve is lowered.

Jinhee returns the ball that falls out very briefly and efficiently. ‘First, take out the unnecessary force of the limb so that you can react wherever you come from. Imagine that the force withdrawn from the limb is stored in the center of the body, and at the same time, it moves the force into the racket with a small swing to impact the ball’ is an ideal return according to the formula.

Jinhee’s return is long and deep. The opponent strikes the ball violently with a forehand. Ugh! The sound is still there.

‘How do we deal with that? ’

The marble glows with its eyes.

“ ……!!! ”

And I shuddered.

Jinhee in the screen reacted with a drop shot of that intense forehand (a tactic to walk a lot of underspins (reverse turns) on the bottom of the ball so that the ball drops as soon as it crosses the net). From the bottom line!

Tuck.

The ball drops and rolls in an exquisite amount of force in front of Nate. You can also see from the video that everyone was frightened at the stadium.

How is that possible? ’

If you throw the ball with your bare hands, will you get a shot like that?

The opposing Pokémon stares at the ball, which rolls dazed. Soon, however, I continued to serve it.

Ow! Ow!

Mental was really great.

The points are taken away in this way, but the posture of the subsequent first serve does not drop at all.

However, Jinhee was different this time.

Blah, blah!

My body aches because I can’t feel cheerful.

The ball hits the opponent’s sub in the back hand and drops it onto the line with a straight course. The ball slides out of the coat to see if it’s caught in a subtle turn.

The opposing Pokémon’s feet are swift. You forcibly hold the running ball and turn it back. However,

“Great!”

The quartz shouted without even knowing it.

Jinhee in the screen had just arrived at the front of the net and was lightly treated with Bali-

“Huh?! ’

This is no ordinary Bali.

The opposing Pokémon’s powerful ball is processed by Bali. This can also be used as a drop shot.

‘DropBali……! ’

It’s a hard shot to get even if you’re aiming for it during a match. A shot that reads the ball’s rotation instantaneously and kills it with a very fine gesture.

‘It’s a natural sense. ’

The target freezes, just like the previous point.

Then it leads to unilateral oppression of Jinhee, and the opponent kneels steadily.

“Jinhee, you did great. Really.”

Quartz raised Jinhee in a serious tone.

Jinhee twisted her body without knowing what to do with one compliment.

“I did what you taught me. ”

“No, no, Jinhee, you’re a genius! ”

Jinhee trembled as the word ‘genius’ popped out of her mouth.

Jinhee herself was always thinking of seeing marble, because she was surprised and surprised to hear it from marble.

“… Thank you. ”

Jinhee lowers her head, muttering and leaning her head against the shoulder of the marble.

Jinhee, who was bigger than marble, leaned on her body so much that she looked like a mother bird and a baby bird.

“Kmm. Now let’s see mine…?” ”

He manipulates the mouse fiercely to find the video of his match.

Soon after the video appeared, marble quickly became immersed. Jinhee stared at such a marble, then got up and went looking for something.

About 30 seconds ago. Jinhee brought a fan and paper, put it in front of the marble, and sat down next to the marble again.

‘Good.’

I had a feeling that Jinhee would never forget this day, who won and was praised by marble.
