Toorak Manor Hotel.
The guest room was a villa hidden in the park. Zhang Jing had the master bedroom to himself. After a short rest of four hours, Barbie knocked on the door.
Hotel breakfast delivered to your door.
The food was corn chips, sausage, ham, pancakes and fried eggs, waffles, cold milk.
After eating and drinking, the four people and one dog walked less than a kilometer to the Melbourne Sports Park, where the Australian Open will be officially held tomorrow.
It should be noted that Katie was able to qualify for the Australian Open because she defeated the former Australian Open and French Open runner-up and third runner-up many times in the previous games, and her total score ranked No. 1 in the women's singles world rankings. 90 people.
In her first professional match in Seattle, she defeated her former Australian Open third runner-up. At that time, Zhang Jing witnessed her sweeping her opponent.
After that, she participated in some competitions one after another, in which she pushed her opponents to the ground and beat them violently. She was very strong. If the time was not shorter, her ranking would be higher.
"Oss, long time no see."
Katie also stayed at the Toorak Manor Hotel at night, and the cost was naturally paid for by Zhang Jing. Since there was a competition today, she went out two hours in advance to warm up.
Zhang Jing hugged the blue-eyed girl, and it took him a while to notice that she was wearing the slogan and logo of Leopard Beer.
The logo is a black panther with a pair of deep eyes.
The slogan is, "Leopard Beer keeps moving forward."
"Long time no see," Zhang Jing chatted, "I came to see you win the championship."
"Yeah," Katie raised her chin proudly, "I think so."
Zhang Jing smiled and liked Katie's strong confidence.
"Hi," a strange woman in tennis uniform came over and put her arms around Katie's shoulders. She asked with a sunny expression and a face full of happiness, "Who is this? Katie, please introduce me."
"My OSS, Zhang Jing," Katie introduced, "Lu Ning Osborne, is also from California."
Because he does a lot of exercise, Lu Ning looks strong, his shoulders look broad, and his white skin is tanned to a wheat color.
"Hello," Luning Osborne stretched out his hand, "You are very discerning. Sponsoring Katie will be the most important decision in your life."
Zhang Jing laughed in his heart, feeling that Lu Ning was not as sunny as he looked on the surface, and was even a racist who refused to shake hands.
Katie also realized that there was something wrong with her friend, so she removed her arm from her shoulders and reminded her friend: "You need to apologize, otherwise I will make you lose your body completely on the field."
It turns out that today's friendly match is between Katie and Lu Ning.
"Ha!" Lu Ning looked disdainful, "Did I say something wrong? Why should I apologize?"
The brief exchange ended on bad terms.
"Oss," Katie apologized, "I didn't know there was anything wrong with Lu Ning."
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Jing told Katie, "beat her to tears on the field."
Katie clenched her fists, "I will!"
Because tomorrow is the official match, there are many people coming to watch tennis today. Zhang Jing, Milika, Barbie, and Edja sat in the front row.
"I'm sorry oss," Barbie sat next to Zhang Jing and said softly, "I apologize to you for my compatriots."
"It's okay," Zhang Jing shook his head and said it's okay, "I know invisible discrimination is everywhere, and it's not that fragile."
This is like Zhang Jing taking little Dilin to take the elevator, and an African-American walks in. It is purely subconscious that Zhang Jing will pull Dilin to his side.
For people of African descent, this is also a form of invisible discrimination.
Others include chocolate, watermelon, banana, monkey, white pig, red neck, ghost, nigger...etc.
Everyone will encounter discrimination. If the psychological quality is not strong enough and if there is no spirit, you will only suffer the loss.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the game started, with Katie and Lu Ning in the first round.
Tennis tests a person's comprehensive physical ability, including endurance, reaction, arm strength, skill, etc.
wait.
At the beginning of the first game, Katie@ started with the first ball. After three rounds, Lu Ning lost the first ball without any ability to fight back.
In the next twenty minutes, Katie won the first set 4-0 with great fanfare, while Lu Ning didn't score a single point!
The audience gave a warm performance, which was a tragedy for Lu Ning, but the audience enjoyed watching it. Katie was almost beaten, and it was very enjoyable to watch.
After adjusting the court and resting for two minutes, the second set begins.
This time it was Lu Ning who served first.
An accident happened suddenly. When Katie struggled to hit the ball back, the tennis ball did not bounce back from the ground, but slammed into Lu Ning's nose.
Lu Ning instantly knelt on the ground and covered his face with his hands, looking in agony.
The emergency doctor who had been waiting nearby and thought he could play soy sauce all day went to Lu Ning for treatment, but found that the bridge of her nose was broken. Not only was she unable to play today's game, but she was also unable to participate in subsequent games.
Zhang Jing and Barbie looked at each other silently, Katie didn't do it on purpose, right?
It didn't look like it was intentional. After all, the referee didn't say anything and just treated it as an accident.
With her opponent gone, Katie returned to the backstage to rest while other contestants came on to continue the game.
"Why did you break Lu Ning's nose?" Coach Swiatek asked his disciple in the backstage lounge.
Others don't know, but Swiatek knows that Katie is not a natural talent in tennis, but she is improving every day. One of her great strengths is her strong sense of ball control.
"I didn't mean to." Katie explained.
"I don't blame you for hurting her," Swiatek looked angry. "Her opponent tomorrow is the famous Druid. If Lu Ning withdraws from the match, it may be you and Druid!"
Xiaode is forty years old and of African descent.
She also has a sister, Dade, both of whom are among the top 40 women's singles players in the world and are very strong.
"It's okay," Katie didn't care. She packed up the golf equipment and chatted, "No matter who it is, I will beat them up."
Swiatek was silent because it had already happened and it was too late to regret. Too much pursuit would only affect Katie's mood.
"Where are you going?" Swiatek, who has a record of winning 33 tennis matches in a row, asked concernedly when he saw his disciple carrying a tennis bag out.
"The oss is here, I'm going to accompany him."
Swiatek was speechless, doubting that Zhang Jing had saved the solar system in his previous life. Otherwise, why would Katie, such a good athlete, give up?
In fact, Swiatek was wrong. Although Zhang Jing was important to Katie, Ding Jiaqi also paid a lot behind the scenes.
Zhang Jing is like a rainstorm that comes and goes quickly.
Ding Jiaqi is like drizzle, moistening things silently. A word of concern, a birthday gift, and remembering a person's name can win people's hearts.
What needs special explanation is that some of Ding Jiaqi's habits come from compulsory constraints. When compulsion becomes a habit, it becomes a virtue.
For example, remembering people’s names, especially foreigners’ names, if it wasn’t particularly important, who would remember it?
Ding Jiaqi will deliberately remember the names of everyone on the farm and call them out by accident next time to impress them.
When these small touches accumulated, she not only gained prestige, but also gained a solid position that no one could take away.
For example, Zhou Manmiao seemed to be her real girlfriend when she was at the farm, but she never thought about cleaning up the harem, nor did she take the initiative to meet Jennifer and Wang Sisi.
Ding Jiaqi was different. She took the initiative when she came up and clearly defined everyone's position.
Everyone should guard their own one-third of an acre of land, know clearly where everyone's position is, and everyone knows what they should do and what they shouldn't do.
The one who benefits the most is Zhang Jing. There is no need to worry about them tearing each other up, which is really good.
