NOVEL WEB Chapter 159
"Enter the professional tennis world?"
Akutsuma narrowed his eyes slightly.
He must enter the professional tennis world.
The prize money for the champions of the four major tennis open tournaments is generally around 30 million US dollars.
It is far more than the income that the national competitions and the world competitions can bring him.
In the future, he will definitely make becoming a world champion his biggest goal.
Calculating the time, now is the time.
After playing against Switzerland, the expedition points will basically be enough.
There is a weighted mechanism for obtaining expedition points, that is, the stronger the team is defeated, the more expedition points are obtained.
As the top four teams, the Swiss team, the points obtained by defeating it are enough for the Neon team to enter the main competition.
The start of the world competition will have to wait until October.
During this period, he has to find things to do by himself.
As for entering the professional world, In the tennis world, participating in the four major tennis open tournaments with high prize pools is obviously a good choice.
The four major tennis open tournaments are collectively known as the Grand Slam tennis tournaments.
Arranged in order of season, they are the Australian Open, the French Open, the (British) Wimbledon Tennis Championships, and the US Open.
The Australian Open is usually held in January every year on a hard court.
The French Open is usually held in May every year on a clay court.
Wimbledon is usually held in July every year on a grass court. The
US Open is usually held in September every year on a hard court.
Now it is mid-May, it is the expedition period, and we have to play against a Swiss team.
It is too late to participate in the French Open at the end of May.
June is the European U16 Youth Challenge.
The national competition that has already been signed will start in August.
July in the middle.
It is just the right time to enter the professional tennis world and participate in the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
"After the European Junior Challenge, if possible, in addition to entering the professional arena, I would also like to compete in Wimbledon."
Akuzumo replied
"Wimbledon? Are you going to use the wild card to enter Wimbledon, or do you plan to play in the qualifying rounds?
If you play in the qualifying rounds, your current points situation is very serious."
Christine said.
Akutsume nodded:"Indeed, if time is not enough, I will find a club to get the wild card qualification."
As one of the four highest-level Grand Slam tournaments in professional tennis, naturally not everyone is eligible to participate.
There will be a total of 128 participants in the Wimbledon main draw.
104 players will automatically qualify for the main draw based on their ATP world rankings.
ATP stands for the Association of Tennis Professionals, the International Professional Tennis Federation.
Its ranking system consists of 4 Grand Slams, 9 Masters, 13 Gold Tournaments and 18 of the best results in 38 tour tournaments.
It is an extremely authoritative ranking.
8 players will qualify for the main draw through wild cards issued by the organizing committee.
16 players will advance to the main draw through qualifying.
There are also requirements for ATP points to participate in the qualifying tournament.
Akutsumo's ATP points are still zero now, and he must participate in Masters, Gold Tournaments, and Tour tournaments to accumulate points.
As Christine said, the situation is indeed very serious.
"It's a pity that the French Open main draw has already been confirmed, otherwise I can get you a wildcard spot for the French Open."
Maupassant said.
Wildcard spots for major tennis tournaments are not issued by the ATP, but by the organizers.
The organizers of the French Open naturally tend to give wildcard spots to French players.
As the most popular young player in France in recent years, it is no problem for Maupassant to get two wildcard spots.
Sartre is now ranked outside the top 1,000 in the world, while Maupassant is already ranked around 300, and the future situation is very good.
Unfortunately.
The main draw spot has already been confirmed in mid-April.
So Maupassant has no way to help Akutsumo
"It's okay. The U.S. Junior Challenge Championship has already allowed me to directly play in the ATP series of intermediate events.
I will play a tournament later to collect points.
If I really can't catch up with the French Open, then I will set my sights on the U.S. Open."
Akuzumo looked calm.
"Haha, I am also going to participate in the French Open this year. After today's game, maybe we will meet again at the French Open."
Christine smiled lightly.
Now Christine's world ranking is slightly higher than Maupassant, ranking more than 200.
If she can get more points, she may not be unable to participate in the French Open. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Maupassant remained silent.
He will not participate in the French Open.
His current strength is still far from the top 128 in the world.
Even if he gets a place in the main competition, it may be difficult for him to win the first round.
However,
Akutsumi who defeated him and the mysterious Christine have a certain hope of winning the first round.
"What a pervert."
Maupassant said to himself.
Normal people who enter the professional tennis world will basically wander around in the low-level ATP events in the first few years.
Like Sartre, who is currently ranked 1000+ in the French team, Allen, who is ranked 900 in the German team, and Polk and Amadeus in the future, they will all take this path without any surprises.
But Akutsuma set his sights on the four Grand Slam-level events right from the start.
This is a tournament that none of their five main players can currently participate in through non-wildcard quotas.
Sure enough.
Strong strength means being willful enough[]
"Focus on the game.
The game is still going on, but you two captains are not paying attention to your own players.
This is not appropriate."
Akuzumo smiled lightly and pointed to the game on the field.
Maupassant and Christine turned their eyes back to the field.
People with similar strengths tend to get together.
Although Camus is strong and Polk is stronger, in their opinion, they are still a little short of the mark.
Only Akutsumo is considered to be a player of the same level by the two.
Naturally, they will focus more on Akutsumo.
The three of them focus on the court.
On the court, it is Camus' turn to serve.
