[Net King] Cherry Blossom Years

At the end of May, Roland Garros in Paris, France was filled with fiery heat.

When Tezuka came out of the training ground, he met many players along the way, most of them were Westerners, who greeted him warmly.

Also, it's different from when he first broke into the professional network two years ago. At that time, everyone just regarded him as an oriental boy with some strength and good luck. No one could have imagined that in just two years, he would Achieved the goal they had fought for all their lives.

Now, the name Tezuka Kunimitsu is known to everyone in the tennis world.And, far beyond the tennis world, the world knows about this rising star.

Tezuka Kunimitsu will surely create his own era of kings.

With oriental rigor in his bones, coupled with the education he received from his grandfather since he was a child, Tezuka just greeted everyone lightly.Fortunately, everyone knows that Orientals have always been like this, especially Tezuka Kunimitsu, who has such a rigorous and serious look, which can almost be regarded as unsmiling, so no one said anything about his lack of enthusiasm.

"You kid, you're really boring!" Andre said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Senior, I'm already an adult." Tezuka said seriously.

Tezuka Kunimitsu likes to call people "Seniors". They were confused at first, but they only found out the meaning of this word after a special search.This kid... is really serious enough!

Peter approached with a smile and asked, "Are you confident to win the championship this time?"

Tezuka pursed his lips.

"How do you talk? If he says yes, are you going to kill him?" Andre scolded.

"If you say no, isn't it a blow to your self-confidence?" Muster glanced at Peter.

Peter stared at the sky speechlessly, he was really just asking.

The four walked out from the tennis court in the North District and saw Raphael when they walked past the tennis court in the East District.

"Hi! Raphael!" Peter greeted Raphael in the tennis court.

The enthusiastic Spaniard smiled at them and walked to the sidelines, "Andre, Muster, Tezuka."

Everyone smiled at him, and Tezuka nodded.

"Do you still want to train?" Muster asked.

"No, it's almost there. Is this the end for you?"

"Ah, do you want to go for a drink together?" Andre invited.

"Okay." Raphael readily agreed. "By the way, Tezuka, where is Echizen? I don't seem to have seen him."

A little helplessness appeared on Tezuka's face, "Echizen went out."

This guy is not a law-abiding owner. He only arrives after all the players have arrived at the hotel, and he disappears after he arrives. It is considered well-behaved to report to him before going out.

"What?" Andre was surprised.

Muster and Peter also looked over with surprised eyes.

"He actually left the hotel?" Raphael was surprised.

As contestants, they all stayed in this hotel. The hotel is very large, with complete facilities and luxurious decoration. Not to mention the comfortable stay, there are many friends and opponents on the court here, training, chatting and exchanging feelings together , everyone has never gone out.

In any case, the people here are all well-known tennis players. It would be inconvenient to go out. Now is the time for the French Open to start. Fans from all over the world gather in this area. If they are recognized, they will inevitably have a lot of trouble.

And Echizen Ryoma ran out of the hotel regardless!It's really hard to say what to say about him.

"What a brave boy!" Peter exclaimed.

Raphael smiled, "This guy... he has a game tomorrow!"

"Tezuka, your junior is really amazing!" Peter patted Tezuka on the shoulder. "Young man now! I feel old!"

"He won't settle down until the game," Tezuka said.

The men of the Echizen family are all such a headache!Whether it's Nanjiro, Ryuya, or Ryoma!

Raphael packed his tennis bag, "Let's go."

There were not many people in the restaurant, but the four of them attracted all eyes as soon as they walked in.

"Tezuka!" Anthea was with several female players, and when she saw Tezuka walk in, she greeted him with a big smile.

The other men looked at Tezuka and smiled ambiguously.

Tezuka frowned slightly.

Anthea ran up to Tezuka, "Tezuka, you went to training? I haven't seen you these days, how are you?"

The male and female players of the French Open stayed in the hotel. They lived in two areas. The men's area was separated from the women's area. It was only connected to the restaurant in the lobby. Male and female players could occasionally meet here.

Tezuka didn't come to the lobby very often. He usually ate in the restaurant in the men's section. Only after training like this would he occasionally come over to rest and chat with other players.

"Anthea." Tezuka greeted lightly, "Congratulations for qualifying in the first round."

"Thank you!" Anthea smiled sweetly. "Tezuka, you have to work hard too!"

Tezuka nodded lightly.

"We are resting, come together! You know, they admire you very much!" Anthea turned to look at the female companions, who smiled and waved to everyone.

The few men present were either married or already had girlfriends, but generally speaking, they would not refuse an invitation from a lady, which was polite.

It was not easy for Tezuka to refuse, after all, they came from the same club.He signed a contract with the club for five years, which means that he will stay in the club for more than a year. It is not a good thing to have a deadlock with teammates in the same club.

Although this is what he said, Tezuka is not slow, he knows that Anthea still has a good impression of him now - in the case that he already has a girlfriend, and Anthea already knows, if he still does this, let him He felt something was wrong.

Tezuka Kunimitsu has always only liked Rukawa Sakura.Others may not know it, but the person concerned has always been clear and clear in his heart.

"You look good!" Peter frowned at Tozuka.

Muster and Andre both smiled.

Muster said: "Tezuka has also reached the age to have a girlfriend~"

Andre retorted, "Don't make yourself sound old."

Raphael didn't make a comment, but just smiled at Tezuka.Tezuka was the youngest of them, and he was next.Of course, the weirdness of Echizen is not counted. The 16-year-old kid stays where he is cool, and it is fortunate that he went out.

Tezuka still had a paralyzed face without any expression, and walked over with everyone.

"Tezuka, what do you want to drink? I'll help you." Anthea asked Tezuka enthusiastically.

"No need, just mineral water."

"Ah, I didn't mean you, Tezuka, you have such a personality? You look cold, but you only drink mineral water!" Peter was surprised.

"Oriental rigor?" Raphael wondered secretly.

"No, I've been drinking ponta since Echizen." Andre corrected.Although that kind of drink doesn't meet the athlete's specifications at all, it can't stand other children* drinking it.

"You are really plain, Tezuka." Muster shook his head.There is really no character at all!

Now he would like to have a cup of tea and eat some snacks made by Rukawa Sakura - but it is impossible.

Tezuka looked at the water with some ice cubes added, his eyes softened for a moment.

Others didn't see it, but Raphael noticed it sitting next to Tezuka.Compared with the enthusiastic personality of the Spaniards, Raphael also has keen insight and is a delicate person.

"How's the situation on the women's tennis side?"

"Fortunately, our lottery is ideal."

"However, Anthea may not be easy to deal with. Her opponent in the second round is Shirley."

"Ah, the Swiss is famous for his excellent forehand and great strength. It will be very difficult for Anthea to deal with it."

Compared with the ladies here, the men here are all in the top ten ATP rankings, either they have been famous for many years, or they are newly promoted kings, and Anthea is just a novice who has just set foot on the professional net, although she is better at playing tennis It's been a year, but she hasn't become famous yet, and her female companions are not very famous.On another level, if you are not well-known, you are not strong enough.

The men are very polite, although they are not on the same level, but they don't mean to underestimate each other.In fact, just looking at the best-of-five-set system in men's tennis and the best-of-three-set system in women's tennis, it can be seen that the gap between men and women is huge.

Andre, Muster, and Peter have all been famous for many years.

Andre and Roger are players of the same era. Before Roger's rise, he was the well-deserved champion of the ball, and the ATP men's singles ranked first in the world.It's just that the waves behind the Yangtze River will always push the waves ahead. Although he set foot on this road earlier than Roger, Roger still surpassed him.It's just that he, who is passionate about tennis, has no plans to retire. He declared to the world that he will play until his body can no longer support the Grand Slam.

Therefore, even though he has not reached the semi-finals for many years now, people still love the former world number one.His persistent attitude towards tennis has always been appreciated and admired by everyone, whether playing or watching.After all, he is already old, and his years of professional tennis career has brought him a whole body of injuries, but he has never given up.

Muster was once the king of clay.The Austrian has won 44 tennis singles titles so far, [-] of them on clay.His best results in the other three Grand Slams are only runner-up, and there is only one time so far. Presumably this will also be the only time in his life.But on the clay court of the French Open, he is invincible and is the greatest enemy of all players, and he can be called the "King of Clay".

In contrast to Muster, Peter was the king of Wimbledon, arguably the best grass court player ever.The American is the youngest men's singles champion in the history of the US Open. He rose to fame at the US Open and then won his own world at Wimbledon. At the age of 19, he defeated Andre on the grass court of Wimbledon and became a figure comparable to the king of the ball.

Therefore, even though Tezuka is the youngest gold slam in history, he has never underestimated these seniors.Although, it has always been the virtue of Tezuka Kunimitsu to be humble and not complacent, and to respect his predecessors.Now he may be standing on top of these seniors, but there is no doubt that these seniors are much more powerful than him.He just took the first step, and these seniors have been working on the job network for more than ten years.

The same is true for Rafael, who has always been known as the "Spanish prodigy". Even though he entered the professional net at the age of 15 and won the Grand Slam championship at the age of 16, he is younger than Roger, but he has always been a figure comparable to Roger. ——He also respects these predecessors, although the etiquette of Westerners may not be as obvious and onerous as Tezuka.

Now, the three seniors were chatting with the ladies, and Tezuka and Rafael listened quietly, interjecting occasionally—of course, the enthusiastic Spaniard talked much more than the rigorous Tezuka.
