Agent of Rafael Radal, Duff Macmillan. It was the name of a blonde man whom I met in Australia last January. Contrary to the appearance of the remains, the deep voice was impressive. I feel like I was wearing glasses every time I had a headache.
Came to mind. The player in charge was so active that he was struggling.
By the way, what did Duff e-mail Shin Se-yeon?
"Napa's agent? Why is that person? "
"Well, shall we read it?"
You can't see each other. Shin Se-yeon checked the contents by clicking Duff's mail at the top of the mailbox. As soon as the mouse clicked, a small alphabet filled the screen. Hanwoojin is quite familiar with English
However, it was not comparable to Shin Se-yeon in the reading speed of these long texts.
"Well, this is a kind of invitation?"
"Invite?"
Han Woo-jin didn't know the English language, so his eyes drank a few times. The agent sent an invitation, it was not even heard.
But Shin Se-yeon nodded nicely. The content of the mail sent from Duff was nothing other than an invitation. He can't help but
"I have a map of the hotel located near Roland Garros. Maybe it's where Radal's party stays. "
"I think I know now."
Han Woo-jin, who had a mischievous face of Radal, smiled at her forehead.
If he had a time, he was singing Roland Garros. Was it too bad to lose once in Sydney? In Roland Garros, the words of the contest were heard countlessly with the fingers.
How easy it was to luck with the contest, which is like the holy ground of Clay, Hanwoojin was the first to hear what he wanted to talk about.
'If you look like this, it's no different than on the court again. I don't know how to give up, it's the play style. '
You've brought stories like this that you've already refused many times. Hanwoojin is now head to head even harder.
It wasn't even the first time in Spain that they had a friendly match in Australia. Although it sounded like he had no tackle at the time, Radal truly encouraged Hanwoojin to participate in the French Open.
'I wanted to play this right now.'
What kind of competition is Roland Garros? It was a pillar of the Grand Slam and the highest level of clay court competition. Han Woo-jin, who takes the hard coat as the main stage, was not a place where he could set foot.
The Valencia Open was obvious. There was a difference in the courts, but he was able to compete with Nicholas level players. The results from Roland Garros, where the world's best clay-rankers gather
It would be obvious.
"What do you think about Seyeon?"
Han Woo-jin, who was worried about participation and non-participation, asked her companion for the purpose. Although the standards of players and agents are different, there is nothing in common. Shin Se-yeon's opinion with Hanwoojin for many years is worth a reference.
Was enough.
Did he know how to ask? Shin Se-yeon lowered her fine eyelids without any shaking. He rolled the abacus into his arms, and his fingers stretched out from the ends of his sleeves, which were sometimes folded, pounded on the clothes. How much
It wasn't me, she said, opening her eyes.
"Isn't it okay? I think it's pretty big that you can feel the pressure of a grand slam or experience a five-set race. "
"Then it was decided."
Han Woo-jin nodded immediately. As Shin Se-yeon mentioned. Wimbledon and Roland Garros coats are different, but the level was equal. As long as it is a grand slam like the top-ranked Colosseum, the face of the contestant is also big with Wimbledon.
It won't be different. The merit of being able to go through the finals with the fifth edition of the three-best win was not just a thing to pass over.
There was no need to hesitate to agree with the players and agents. Shin Se-yeon immediately wrote a reply to the ATP headquarters, and Han Woo-jin visited the bathroom to cool her head with a five-hour interview.
Kim Sang-pil, who's awful in waiting for his turn, forgets it.
In the end, Kim Sang-pil's interview took place several hours after Hanwoojin's decision to go to France.
* * *
Since then, it has been an eclipse. Shortly after Roland Garros was decided, Hanwoojin and his team set up the next day and loaded themselves on the plane to Charles de Gaulle Airport. In the same European country, the flight time is only one or two hours
It was nothing but Hanwoojin's face turned red after a long time.
A half-day flight was torture, but an hour or two was not a bad break.
And thanks to that, I was able to make a clear decision on where to invest in the skills that I knew to hold on for a while. It is because there is not much choice because the sub serve. Bali, where you can aim for level 20 soon,
It was a choice that made up for what was lacking.
'So it makes no sense.'
Of course, this doesn't mean bad. Is there a player who doesn't long for a perfect rounder? Han Woo-jin was once a character who aimed at the rounder type that skillfully used all pitches.
In reality, however, such a rounder was difficult to exist. Although Joko Beach later became the perfect player and showed the end of the round, Hanwoojin, who pioneered the path of the power heater according to the guidance of the system, is a long way to choose.
It was.
In addition, unlike Joko Beach, who can complete perfect strength by making up for the shortcomings, it was difficult to forge some of the merits with the talent that Hanwoojin allowed.
After pruning the twigs so far left only one way.

'Is there an assortment now?'
Han Woo-jin looked over his status window with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.
Most notable items are Serve and Volley who have reached level 19. Serve, a pitch involved in half of the game, and a volley that can be used as an attacker. The cheerful continuity leading to Sub & Bali has already been proven in grass courts.
It was good to be finished crystal technique.
'Although it looks a bit ignorant,'
There was a bitter smile in my mouth.
It is funny that the level of drop or robe that emphasizes finesse rather than strength is low. Smash due to the nature of the pitch, even hard to raise the level was understood. But the rest was no excuse. Hanwoojin himself serve
It was clear evidence that the play was focused on Bali.
Quik.
The vehicle stopped as he was afraid to finish his thoughts. An hour after driving from Charles de Gaulle Airport, it was time to reach the destination. Kim Sang-pil, who was sitting in the driver's seat all the time, fluttered with a trembling face.
"If you follow the directions, you're right here ...
Han Woo-jin and Shin Se-yeon who listened to him looked out the window.
A group of vehicles, which in turn passed the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, arrived at a city near Paris where the San Boulogne-Billancourt and Roland Garros were held. Short buildings lined with roadside trees fill the surrounding area
Was. The landscape with high buildings is almost invisible.
And unlike in Korea, most of the buildings did not have signboards and other accessories. It seemed a long way from finding a lodging destination in my car.
"Okay, let's get down and look around. If you follow directions, you won't be very near here. "
There was no other means. Hanwoojin, who parked his car in a nearby vacant lot, soon set foot on the asphalt of Boulogne-Billancourt, lined with small buildings. The entire city looked lush, perhaps because of the trees along the road. The low height of the building probably contributed to that perception.
Fortunately, the party's wandering did not last long. It was because I found the hostel on the map soon.
It wasn't yet time for check-in, so the group left their luggage and set Roland Garros Stadium as their next destination. There were three more days left in the finals as well as in the preliminaries, but the desire to see the grand slam was visual
I was intense too. Kim Sang-pil, who has already come several times, willingly took the lead.
20 minutes of walking along well-maintained roads, buildings disappeared around the streets, and streets were lined up. It was precisely about that time when something of the dome-like shape soaring from a distance began to enter the party's view.
But before that there was a sight that caught my eye.
A few miles from the entrance to Roland Garros, there were crowds of people around it, where nothing was normal. At the heart of the crowd were two men of physique, surrounded by numerous cameras and microphones. Like that
Though not awkward at all, the appearance was familiar.
"What ?! Is that it?
The first to understand the situation was Kim Sang-pil, who was also a journalist.
If you are famous in the world of tennis, how can you recognize the two running on top? Kim Sang-pil's mouth, which was astonished, vomited two men's names one after another.
"Ro, Roger Pedro! And even Radal ?! "
If there was a meeting between the tennis emperor and the king, there were enough reasons to attract the crowd.
Kim hurriedly jumped into the crowd with a camera on his neck. Pedro and Radal's two-shots were worth the effort. Shin Se-yeon sent off his back as he had no time to dry his eyes.
'You were here first too.'
Unlike Kim Sang-pil, who couldn't hide his surprise, Han Woo-jin wasn't surprised. If it was an invitation to send in the first place, even if it was waiting in advance, there was nothing strange. No, I expect it to be true of his playful nature.
Was.
But his encounter with Roger Pedro was totally unexpected. Who can anticipate encounters in this way?
"Is it still a bit far from you?"
Thirty steps. It can be reached in less than 30 seconds, but it seems as though it can't be reached. The point where Radal and Pedro stood was clear but seemed as distant as the clouds. This is where Hanwoojin stands now
It's the actual gap where they stand.
But he was never disappointed. It's been a long time since I hadn't seen it.
'Although not today, but not necessarily next time.'
Standing next to them, I will aim for the same trophy. Roland Garros is only a prerequisite to gaining experience before the Wimbledon championship. Hanwoojin of that day will be different from the present.
Han Woo-jin and Shin Se-yeon watched the trend spread a little distance not to attract attention. Even if the two were the center of the topic, the question and answer could not be infinite. While the two were thirsty with coffee bought around the stadium,
The crowds gathered showed signs of scattering.
"When reporter Kim comes in, we're back home."
"Oh, it's already three o'clock."
It was Han Woo-jin who ran the interview race yesterday. He flew to France without a break and did not need to accumulate any further fatigue. Even if it was a little early, it was a better judgment to take a break at the hostel from now on.
Hanwoojin could not do that. It was a pity for him, but the Asian men and women who were drinking coffee in open areas without cover were bound to stand out.
"Hey, Woojin!"
Now, Hanwoojin's face hardened into a familiar voice. There was a similar situation in Spain, but compared to that, environmental conditions were the difference.
Don't you know he was away because he didn't want to make a fuss, that fool?
'It's not too late yet. If you leave this place now
No, it's too late.
chin!
""Long time no see! Did you get the mail right? Duff walked on the side that you didn't come, and it was finally what I said! "
"Napa, you ..."
Radall quickly narrowed his arms around Hanwoojin's shoulder. A slender voice flowed from his lips, which had been sealed off, and the reporters who followed the jogging street suddenly burst out.
Click Click!
"'Mr. Han! What did you come to Roland Garros? "
"Are you familiar with Radal?"
"Do you participate in the French Open? There is a rumor that there is a vacancy in Sid! "
Camera flashes, murmuring voices. Reporters gathered like hyenas who found hungry prey and squeaked into the microphone.
Hanwoojin unknowingly looked for someone to turn his head to help, but just before, even Seonyeon was standing close to the head.
Literally, Hanwoojin's face rotted rapidly on the slopes.
"... this damn."
Luckily, those few words weren't caught by the microphone.
