Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 56 Coach, I Don't Want to Play Tennis Anymore (Please Read On)

Because this competition is at a higher level, almost all the provincial teams from across the country that have a chance to score points have come, while only one or two enthusiasts participated in the qualifying rounds.

If Jiang Hong had registered for this event, he might not have had a chance to qualify.

The first two days were the qualifying rounds. Jiang Hong qualified for the main draw through the ATP rankings and did not need to participate in the qualifying rounds.

So it was just a simple technical training session, not very intense.

After training, I would occasionally go and watch the qualifying matches.

July 5th, afternoon!

The three rounds of qualifying have ended, and Zhang Long did not encounter any tough opponents this time, successfully advancing to the main competition.

After the qualifying rounds, the draw for the main draw will take place!

"Old Jiang, I don't want to run into you in the first round!" Zhang Long said, clasping his hands together in prayer.

Jiang Hong chuckled, "It's alright, maybe you'll suddenly unleash your full potential and wipe me out in one round!"

Zhang Long simply rolled his eyes at these words.

During this meeting, Jiang Hong's abilities had undergone another rapid transformation.

The probability of me defeating him is about the same as the probability of winning this championship!
After the draw results were ready, Zhang Long breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, thank goodness I didn't crash!"

He was quite lucky, as he actually ran into a qualifier.

It seems like the chances of getting points are much higher this time.

Jiang Hong's opponent is a Thai player, a 17-year-old minor named Teirard, who has 5 ATP points and is ranked tied for 1098th in the world.

It has to be said that a star athlete has a huge impact on a sport!

Srichaphan is considered a national athlete in Thailand. In 03, he reached number 9 in the ATP rankings, becoming the first Asian athlete to break into the ATP top 10.

This has led to a surge in the number of tennis players in Thailand.

However, I heard that he injured his wrist in May and has never recovered since!
It's basically a declaration of retirement!
Injuries are arguably the biggest enemy of athletes.

After reviewing the application form, Jiang Hong didn't linger and returned to his hotel.

After organizing the items needed for the next day's match, Jiang Hong started watching classic tennis matches.

I must say, the hotel provided by the organizing committee was quite nice; the rooms even had computers installed.

Since there are no other training sessions available, this is a good opportunity to hone my tactical attributes.

……

The next day, Jiang Hong arrived at Court No. 3.

After all, he wasn't very famous, and there were several people in China who were ranked higher than Jiang Hong.

Not to mention, this time the number one seed is ranked 500+ in the ATP rankings.

I sat down in the rest area and put my things away.

Jiang Hong glanced at his opponent, who looked like a typical Southeast Asian, and was probably around 1.85 meters tall.

While Jiang Hong was observing the other party, Tirard was also observing Jiang Hong.

His eyes gleamed with a fighting spirit that seemed eager to take on the challenge.

To be honest, Tillerson doesn't think much of Chinese tennis players.

After all, they have a "superstar" like Srichaphan, while China doesn't even have a single player ranked in the top 200 of the ATP.

Although Jiang Hong's world ranking is much higher than his own.

However, Tirard thought Jiang Hong was just lucky.

He wanted to sweep away his opponents with overwhelming force, just like his idol.

The referee called the two players to the net and then confirmed Jiang Hong's and his opponent's names and rankings.

"Good afternoon, players Jiang Hong and Tirade. This is the first round of the singles competition at the ITF World Tour Guangzhou Station."

"Terrard, you're facing the front!"

After the referee finished speaking in English, he tossed the coin into the air!
After confirmation, Jiang Hong gained possession of the ball.

As a low-level player, Tirard came to China to participate in the competition because it was relatively close and the cost was low, so only his coach accompanied him!
Coach Tillard originally thought the outcome of the match was a foregone conclusion.

Jiang Hong is so young to be able to get so many points, it must be because the organizing committee helped him with the draw! But a while after the competition started, Chanon suddenly sat up from his chair.

The competition didn't go quite as I expected!

Jiang Hong completely dominated Tirard, and in less than half an hour, the score had reached an astonishing 5:0!

Tirard was completely helpless!
Chanon was a little worried during the break.

The coach immediately began instructing Tirard, "Tirard, don't be nervous, relax, play to your strength, don't follow the opponent's rhythm, learn the tactics, do you understand?"

When Tirard was beaten 4-0 by Jiang Hong, his mindset had already begun to change.

After receiving guidance from the coach, I felt a little more at ease.

The break ended in the blink of an eye, and the two players returned to the match!

It was Jiang Hong's turn to serve. After the first game, Jiang Hong was completely in control of the match.

Jiang Hong stood at the baseline and tossed the tennis ball into the air.

Push off the ground and swing the racket to hit the ball!
"boom!"

The tennis ball, like a well-positioned meteor, struck directly next to the center line!
Tillard immediately went to the net to save the ball.

However, Jiang Hong's serve was too fast and the angle was tricky, making it difficult to swing the racket.

However, due to the angle, the ball flew out of bounds when he swung the racket.

Jiang Hong's serve is a definite winner!
"15:0!"

Jiang Hong moved to the baseline position in the second zone and served again.

This time, because Tirard was well-prepared, he made preparations in advance.

The footwork begins the instant the tennis ball crosses the net.

Chase after the tennis ball to its landing point, turn around and swing to hit the ball!

As if anticipating the ball's landing point, Jiang Hong appeared there in advance and immediately twisted his waist to hit the ball with a forehand topspin!

The ball that hit the net line instantly transformed into an arc.

It flew past Tirard in an instant!
cross!

Because Tirard didn't return to his original position immediately, he was directly teleported!
All I could do was turn my head and watch the tennis ball smash into the right corner!

When Chanon saw the ball, his mouth dropped open.

This is something a player ranked 800+ in the ATP rankings could achieve.

His forehand was executed so perfectly that he couldn't find any fault with it.

It's even suitable as a beginner's textbook!

"When did China produce such a genius youth?"

Chanon was still thinking about how to get Tirard back on his feet!
But now, I've decided to give up decisively.

Because he had already realized that the gap between Tirard and Jiang Hong was too great, and that tactics alone could not make up for the technical gap!

After that, Jiang Hong didn't hold back with his shots.

They played a perfect love game!

This game completely shattered Tirard's mentality.

The match went even faster in the following sets, with the first set going 6-0 and the second set 6-0!

The two matches, including the break, didn't even take an hour and a half!

After the match, Tirard stood there, stunned.

He then shook hands with Jiang Hong and the referee with a blank expression.

When Tirard came to the coach, he could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Coach, I never want to play tennis again!"

Chanon looked up at Jiang Hong, gritting his teeth: He's just a child!
