The Strongest Player in Sports

Chapter 711 : Three major competitions in the world of tennis (4/6)

“Coach, can you explain everything about professional tennis for me?”

Zongshen looked serious.

Since you want to enter the professional tennis arena, it is natural to understand it.

If you don’t even understand, you will shout to become a professional player, and you will only make some jokes in the end.

“Um.

Kurobe Yukio nodded, and he muttered for a while and said, “Well, I will start with the three major competitions.”

“Um!”

Zongshen nodded.

And Duke Watanabe on the side also pricked his ears,

He is also aspiring to a career path.

If the strength meets the requirements, he may be transferred to a professional player.

“There are three major associations in the world!”

“The first is the Association of Tennis Professional-the International Professional Tennis Federation.

“It’s called ATP for short.”

“The second type is WomensTennisAssociation-the Women’s Tennis Association.”

“It’s called WTA for short.

“The third type of InternationalTennisFederation-the International Tennis Federation.”

“Abbreviated as ITF.

“The three associations have the same role.”

25″ coordinates the partnership between professional athletes and Competition, and is responsible for organizing and managing professional athletes’ points, rankings, and bonus distribution.

“And work such as formulating match rules and granting or disqualifying players from participating in the competition.”

“The professional competition is also named after the names of the three major associations!”

“It is also commonly referred to as the ATP Men’s Professional Competition, the WTA Women’s Professional Competition, and the ITF Junior Tennis Competition.”

Kurobe Yukio explained each competition.

“So the U-17 World Cup is a kind of ITF Competition?”

Duke Watanabe asked curiously.

“Yes!”

“ITF is the lowest in the professional competition, and all participants are underage.”

Kurobe Yukio nodded, then turned to look at Zongshen: “If you want to enter the profession, the next one is the ATP level competition!”

Zongshen nodded, his expression more serious.

He estimated his own strength.

It should be able to rank between 110-130 in ATP.

This ranking is not low.

The tennis player is in his golden age at the age of 19 and will retire at the age of 33.

The ATP ranking is for all players from 19 to 33.

A total of 14 years in between.

How many masters can the entire world have in 14 years?

No one ever counted!

However, from the current U-17, we can see how many strong players enter the professional tennis arena every day.

After 14 years of accumulation, you can imagine how many masters there will be.

The ATP ranking is a ranking that integrates all the masters in the past 14 years.

Zongshen can squeeze into the top 150 of the ATP at the age of 14 this year, which is enough to be called horror.

we can even say.

Anyone who can be ranked in the top 200 of the ATP has world-level professional strength.

There may be some salted fish in the low-level ATP Competition.

But once it reaches the high level of Competition, I am afraid that even the world’s top-level masters can only be the bottom of the existence.

“If I change my job to a professional player, what kind of competition should I participate in?”

Zongshen said solemnly.

He changed his job to a professional player naturally in order to become stronger.

The way is to fight with other professional players.

“Do you think you can participate in the match?”

Mifune entered the Taoist sneer, and said mercilessly: “If you say match according to your current product, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to report it!”

“Forehead

Zongshen frowned.

“Let me talk about the level of ATP Competition first!”

Kurobe Yukio said: “The highest Competition is naturally the Grand Slam, the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.”

“Followed by the Masters, the Gold Tour, and the International Tour.”

“In the beginning, it was basically impossible for players to participate in the four major open competitions and the Master Series Competition.”

“Even the lowest level of the tour is not available.

“Because these competitions involve bonus awards, the number of entries is stipulated.”

“If you don’t have ATP points, you won’t even be able to claim your name.”

“So for ordinary professional players, if you want to participate in these professional competitions, you can only participate in a match without a point regulation and start accumulating points.

This word came to Zongshen and Duke, making them look at each other.

I thought that I would be able to participate in the international competition if I changed my career.

But now I find that this is not the case at all.

A white Zongshen, let alone participate in the four Grand Slams, even the lowest level of the tour can not participate.

“Is there any other way?”

Zongshen asked in a deep voice.

He remembers that Polk participated in many international competitions in the original book.

So there are definitely other channels to participate.

“As long as you get a wild card, you can directly participate in the high-level competition!”

Saitō Itaru on the side said something.

The International Network Federation has naturally considered a similar situation.

Some genius teenagers are obviously capable, but they are unable to participate in high-level matches.

So in every big game, there are wild card players.

Players holding wild cards can directly compete.

“If you are Zongshen, it should be easy to get a wild card!

Tsuge Ryūji also spoke.

Zongshen is only 14 years old now.

At the age of 14 he has world-class professional strength.

If you get a wild card in the competition, I’m afraid no one will dare to say anything.

“Then how do 660 get the wild card?”

Zongshen asked again.

“Before you get the wild card, I still advise you to sign a professional club first.”

Kurobe Yukio shook his head.

If Zongshen really wants to enter the profession.

The first priority is not to get the opening, but to sign the contract.

Because professional match is not as simple as imagined.

A series of procedures are extremely troublesome.

If you only rely on one person, don’t think about rest and training before the match.

“Coach Kurobe is right!”

“Although there are some restrictions on signing clubs, there are definitely huge benefits.”

“Helping you get wild cards, promoting packaging for you, receiving endorsement ads, and maintaining the reputation of players can help you solve many things!”

Saitō Itaru nodded.

Professional players also have to live.

In other words, most people become professional players in order to be famous and make money.

Of course there are some purer people.

Like Echizen Nanjiro, he really loves tennis and wants to be the number one in the world.

But when he played tennis, he also won a lot of bonuses.

At least in the original book, he lives on his previous match bonus.

So whether it is for love or for other reasons.

In the end, there is no escape from making money and being famous.

If Zongshen really likes tennis, he needs to sign a club.

Because only in this way can we save a lot of effort and train wholeheartedly. .
