Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 92 The Tedious Serving Practice (Seeking First Subscription)
Jiang Hong patted the tennis ball with his hand and then tossed it into the air!

At the moment the racket strikes the ball, it suddenly slices down from the upper left of the tennis ball, with the wrist rotating inward.

The next moment, the tennis ball appeared in the opposite half of the court.

Upon landing, the spinning tennis ball bounces and flies outwards.

However, Jiang Hong's mission progress is still completely blank.

While getting the ball into the box wasn't a problem for Jiang Hong, controlling the exact landing point of this kind of outside spin serve was not so simple.

It seems that this suggestion reward isn't so easy to get!

Wu Qiang, watching from the side, thought Jiang Hong's spin serve was absolutely perfect.

However, judging from his shaking his head, he was clearly not satisfied.

No wonder he's currently the top male tennis player in China; he really has high standards for himself!

In reality, Jiang Hong was thinking to himself if there was any loophole he could exploit.

In the end, Jiang Hong obediently started serving.

Flat serve!

Topspin serve!

Inside spin serve!

Offspin serve!

Inside spin serve!

Slice serve!

The sound of Jiang Hong serving echoed continuously inside the tennis court.

Even with Jiang Hong's stamina, he couldn't complete all the serving tasks in one go.

They took a short break before continuing to practice.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Jiang Hong finally finished serving.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Intermediate Serve Point +5!]

Although it took a considerable amount of time, Jiang Hong was very satisfied with the tangible results.

After eating and resting for a while, Jiang Hong was about to begin his physical training again.

Jiang Hong never stopped practicing forehand and backhand drills, or net play.

Now that I have training recovery potions, I should make the most of my time.

With the start of the China Open drawing ever closer, Jiang Hong certainly cannot afford to relax.

Holding the barbell, lift it overhead, then fix your upper arms and bend your elbows to lower the barbell to your neck. Then, return to the starting position.

Barbell curls and behind-the-neck triceps extensions were Jiang Hong's last training exercise today.

After the system notification ended, Jiang Hong, panting, put the barbell back down.

He picked up the towel hanging nearby and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Alright, that concludes today's training. It took quite a while, so thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Hong turned to look at Wu Qiang and said.

"No, no!" Wu Qiang immediately shook his head and said seriously, "I feel happy as long as I feel like I haven't really left tennis."

This isn't something Wu Qiang made up; he personally loves tennis.

Being able to work as an assistant alongside a professional tennis player now brings me a little closer to my dream of becoming a professional tennis player.

Jiang Hong didn't say much, just that he would give out more bonuses later.

After taking a few steps, Jiang Hong felt his legs trembling.

Well, looks like I won't be able to go home tonight!

Jiang Hong found a hotel near the tennis club.

Although I was exhausted, I wasn't quite at the point where I could go straight to sleep as soon as I got to my room.

I took out my computer and opened the tennis match video that I had downloaded earlier.

This time, Jiang Hong wasn't watching Federer or Nadal's match.

Instead, I selected some match videos of players ranked 10-20, because the strongest player is not necessarily the best fit for my current level.

For example, many beginner amateur tennis enthusiasts tend to choose the technical style of professional female tennis players.

There's a barrier between professional and amateur, and there's also a barrier between men's and women's tennis. Amateur players rarely possess the physical attributes of professional male tennis players, and attempting to imitate them can even lead to injuries.

Conversely, women's tennis is more beginner-friendly.

The tactics employed by professional women's tennis players, such as rallies and line variations, are more similar to those used by amateur players.

The fast-paced, aggressive, and powerful style of men's tennis is very difficult for beginners to imitate.

Another reason for watching these videos is that Federer and Nadal will not be participating in the China Open.

For the time being, I won't be able to meet these superstars.

However, it's not certain for those in the top 10; the China Open will invite a few to enhance its prestige.

Just as Jiang Hong was about to take a break after watching the match video...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Young man, are you asleep?"

Jiang Hong frowned and asked suspiciously, "Is there something you need?"

"Open the door, Auntie needs to talk to you about something!"

ha?
Jiang Hong was completely flustered. He had only stayed one night in a hotel and suddenly this happened.

Turning his head, Jiang Hongcai saw that the door was locked with a bolt, and he felt relieved.

The person at the door left, grumbling, after hearing that there was no more movement inside the room.

Jiang Hong then took the recovery medicine and began to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Hong left the hotel.

Given his current training pace, it's clearly unrealistic for him to go back to school every night.

However, staying in a hotel feels awkward because of what happened last night.

So he asked the club's staff to rent an apartment for Jiang Hong in a nearby residential area.

Jiang Hong's life returned to normal!
Every day consists of training, browsing online forums, and resting—a very regular routine.

Time slipped away silently.

[The US Open officially begins on August 27th, with Federer and Nadal leading the charge!]

Jiang Hong watched the news; this year was precisely the time when Djokovic was beginning to shine.

He won the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Masters.

He was eliminated in the fourth round of the Australian Open by Federer, faced Nadal at the French Open, and lost to Nadal in the Wimbledon semifinals.

He recalls reaching the US Open final but ultimately losing to Federer and finishing as runner-up.

The era of the Big Three is about to begin.

Jiang Hong was not content to be just a spectator; he also hoped to participate.

I want to participate in a Grand Slam tournament by next year at the latest.

Jiang Hong set a goal for himself.

While the US Open is in full swing, another sports news item has dominated the headlines in China.

[A Miracle in Lane 9: Liu Xiang Shines at the World Championships, Achieving a Grand Slam]

They ranked 5th in the semifinals and were drawn into the worst possible lane, the ninth lane on the far right.

Ultimately, they withstood the pressure, created a miracle, and won the championship, becoming China's first men's champion in the World Athletics Championships!

Jiang Hong certainly wouldn't miss the race, and that night he saw Liu Xiang cross the finish line from his room.

This is what a man should do!

I absolutely must participate in next year's Olympics!

Jiang Hong clenched the water glass in his hand, silently making up his mind.

However, instead of relying on wildcards from the national team, he will directly qualify for the Olympics through his ATP ranking!

Jiang Hong shut down the computer. "Go to sleep. We'll continue training tomorrow morning!"

I took training recovery medication...
