Chapter 182: A First Look at Australia

Due to time zone issues, the plane landed at Melbourne International Airport at 08:30 local time (06:30 Aurora Standard Time).Fan Yilun is not a seeded player, so naturally there will be no Australian Open organizing committee responsible for arranging pick-up and drop-off.But fortunately, Fan Yilun's tennis team is world-class, they have already booked a hotel for the group, and at the same time sent a coach to receive Fan Yilun and Sun Ping's group.

Fan Yilun obviously lacked sleep, and continued to wear an eye mask to catch up on sleep after getting on the tour bus, while Sun Ping began to check the local news on his tablet.Like New York in the United States, Melbourne in Australia is a very typical immigrant city.At the same time, because the local government is committed to building a tourist city, the local public services in Melbourne are also supported by Chinese.However, this is not an obstacle for Sun Ping. With the help of the system, Sun Ping is proficient in Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and other languages.

Because Fan Yilun received a lot of bonuses and advertising revenue last year, his team booked a whole floor in a five-star hotel.Sun Ping and Fan Yilun are naturally luxury suites, his main team are executive suites, and the rest of the support staff are standard rooms.In fact, Fan Yilun's style is considered small. If he is really a top player like Federer, he will even bring his own drinking water and ingredients, and even specify the decoration and bedding in the hotel.Although it is a bit difficult, the stay of such guests is publicity for the hotel itself, so most hotels will still work hard to cooperate.

Just as Sun Ping went to his room to put down his luggage, he heard a knock on the door.Sun Ping opened the door and saw the hotel manager enter the room with two waiters.

He smiled and said: "I don't know that Mr. Sun is here, but we couldn't go to the airport to meet him. It's because we didn't entertain well."

The manager's Chinese is extremely standard.But thinking about it, the Cathay Kingdom on this plane is more prosperous than Huaxia on the earth plane.Even on the earth plane, tourist cities in East Asia and Southeast Asia all have Chinese services, because everyone knows that Chinese people are the big bosses.Regardless of whether I look down on the Chinese people or not, the RMB in the pockets of the Chinese people is still worth kneeling and licking.

So Sun Ping was not surprised that the hotel manager of this plane is good at Chinese. You must know that Melbourne is one of the key cities for overseas travel of Cathay people.The street signs outside are basically bilingual in Chinese and English. It is easier for the manager of this star hotel to understand Chinese.

"This is our famous local seafood and fruit. I want to come to Mr. Sun after a tiring journey, so I specially offer free food and wine. I hope Mr. Sun will be satisfied."

After speaking, the waiter put the food from the dining car on the table in the living room of the suite, and then the hotel manager left with the waiter.

Melbourne is a coastal city, and Australia's seafood is famous internationally, so the seafood delivered by the hotel manager is simply luxurious in Aurora. With the addition of fruits and flowers, it seems that the hotel is still expensive. A lot of hard work.I glanced at the sparkling wine in the ice bucket again. It was obviously a local Australian wine brand.As one of the representative countries of New World wines, Australian wines have always been famous all over the world for their high cost performance, but their top wine brands are still comparable to those of Old World countries such as France and Italy.

Just when Sun Ping was about to take a bath and relax, Fan Yilun came to him.Seeing the food on the table in the guest room, Fan Yilun exclaimed: "Wow! Teacher Sun, why did you deliver it here, but not mine? It's so unfair!"

"Whenever you are on the VIP list of these five-star hotels, you will have this kind of treatment." Sun Ping smiled, "If you want to eat, you can eat some first. But seafood And wine, you are not allowed to touch! But those desserts and beef, you can eat a little bit. By the way, you can share one point for me, and give two-thirds to your coaches. I will take a shower first, and I will finish the shower later After that, I plan to go out for a walk. You seem to be going to participate in adaptive training in the afternoon? Remember to listen to the coach."

The advantage of a star hotel is that it has a very comfortable bathtub, and it is guessed that the traveler is tired, so the water is put in early.Essential oils and bath salts have been adjusted in the bathtub, scented candles are lit beside the bathtub, and a bottle of red wine and wine glasses are placed aside.What satisfied Sun Ping the most was that the light natural music was playing in the bathroom, which sounded very comfortable.

The nine-and-a-half-hour flight made Sun Ping feel a little strange all over his body, and at the same time, his muscles were a little sore from being fixed in one position for a long time.Fortunately, the plant formula added in the bathtub has the function of soothing and massaging muscles, and Sun Ping enjoyed it for half an hour lying in the bathtub.By the time Sun Ping came out after taking a shower and changing clothes, Fan Yilun had already eaten most of the food.

Looking at Sun Ping's surprised eyes, Fan Yilun immediately said: "I gave nearly four-fifths of the food to the coaches, and I didn't eat much of it myself."

Sun Ping gave Fan Yilun a blank look, he knew too well the nature of his apprentice, he was simply a foodie.Of the three disciples under his own name, Ma Mingyu is a natural vegetarian and has a natural aversion to meat, so Sun Ping had no choice but to instruct Ma Mingyu to drink milk for three meals and a boiled egg for breakfast every day, otherwise Sun Ping would still I'm really worried that Ma Mingyu won't grow up tall.

Although Jin Weijia is not a picky eater, she is born with a small appetite. Have you ever seen a [-]- or [-]-year-old boy who is in the puberty period eat only a small bowl of rice per meal?As a result, Sun Ping had to order him to eat more high-protein foods such as beef, and then specially took him for a medical examination, and asked the doctor to prescribe some additional dietary supplements for him.

As for Fan Yilun, Sun Ping had never seen such a good appetite.Although Fan Yilun claims that he is in the development period, so he eats a lot.But Sun Ping expressed serious doubts, especially the diet of athletes is very strictly restricted, so Fan Yilun's mouth is the most strictly controlled.However, if he indulged occasionally, Sun Ping felt that he should not be too harsh on a child.

"You said it yourself. Don't blame me for exceeding the standard when the coach measures your body data." After speaking, Sun Ping went out by himself.After greeting several coaches, the car that Sun Ping asked the front desk to rent also arrived.

When traveling in Japan, Sun Ping applied for an international driver's license, so after checking Sun Ping's passport and international driver's license with the staff of the car rental company, he signed a car rental agreement with Sun Ping.When Sun Ping took out his Citi Platinum Card, the car rental salesman's eyes lit up even more.Although the Citi Platinum Card is not as famous as the American Express Centurion Card, it is also one of the internationally famous black cards.A young man with such a card must be rich and famous.

So the salesman opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Sun, I wonder if you are interested in the 'Freedom Knight Card' service of our car rental company? We are an international car rental company, whether it is America, Europe, Oceania, or even Asia and Africa There are all our service agencies. Our free knight card is the top membership card of the bank. With this card, you can enjoy priority car rental service in all branches of the bank, and at the same time, there will be a [-]% discount on car rental prices. In addition, the The card is also co-branded with the member club of "Mobil Travel Guide", and currently you can enjoy preferential treatment in internationally renowned hotels and restaurants with this card."

Sun Ping was not very interested in this card at first, but he became interested when he heard about the member club of "Mobil Travel Guide".There are three major rating lists for restaurants or restaurants in the world, namely Michelin, Mobil and Forbes.Among them, Michelin is only for restaurants, but Mobil and Forbes are also for hotels. The member club of "Mobil Travel Guide" can enjoy the reservation service of many hotels and restaurants, and even many top restaurants have special "Mobil Designated Seats".

Therefore, Sun Ping, who claims to be a gourmet, is quite tempting, but Sun Ping has never found a chance to join the membership club in China, so he put it aside.Now that he heard that the freelancer card of the car rental company and the member club of "Mobil Travel Guide" are jointly signed, Sun Ping immediately became interested.After Sun Ping read the service agreement and confirmed that it was correct, he signed and paid to get a Freedom Knight Card.

After saying goodbye to the excited salesman, Sun Ping drove to Melbourne Tennis Park to see the venue.The venue of the Australian Open is now fixed at the Melbourne Tennis Park in Melbourne, and there is indeed an atmosphere of the Australian Open early on here.The usual Melbourne Tennis Park is free to enter and exit, but most courts are charged.During the Open, the park will be closed for entry and exit by ticket.Fortunately, it is not yet the competition period, so Sun Ping and other tennis lovers went to this holy place of tennis for sightseeing.

The No. 15000 court in Melbourne Tennis Park is called the Radwolf Stadium, which can accommodate 10000 people and has a closeable roof; the No. 7 court is called Hisense Stadium, which is invested and built by the Aurora Enterprise, and can accommodate 2000 people. It has a roof; and the third court is the original No. [-] court, named Margaret Court Stadium, which can accommodate [-] people and also has a roof.Except for these three stadiums, the rest of the stadiums can roughly accommodate about [-] people, and then they are all open stadiums.

The hard surface of the court is made of material, which is the hard surface material that was later relaid in the Australian Open.Because of the original slow court material, the Australian Open has not been intense enough.At the same time, because the material will become soft and sticky under high heat in summer, which directly affects the speed and rotation speed of the ball, it has been criticized by many athletes.After switching to the material, the speed of the ball is much faster, and it is also more suitable for rotation, which leads to a lot more visibility of the Australian Open.

However, because tennis is not very popular in China, most hard courts use slow court materials that are worse than this material.Ordinary people think it is good, because the difficulty of tennis is reduced.But for professionals, it's like playing in the dirt.What's more, the current major hard-court tennis tournaments in the world, the US Open and the Australian Open, have given up this kind of slow court. Fast hard courts are already an international trend.Now, except for a small number of ATP250 or lower events where slow hard courts can be seen, most of the hard courts are already fast courts.So many hard court players from the Cathay Kingdom are treated as if they are abused when they play games in foreign countries. There is no way, who made you not familiar with the court?

Fortunately, Fan Yilun's coaching team rented Fan Yilun high-speed hard courts. I think this kid will not be uncomfortable with this kind of court.Just as Sun Ping was shuttling through various stadiums, he happened to bump into the Japanese reporter on the plane.At this time, the Japanese reporter was chatting with a foreigner.

Sun Ping glanced at the logo on the reporter, it turned out to be a reporter from espnasia.Sun Ping immediately knew why the reporter was so arrogant. After all, ESPN is the world's number one professional sports channel!
