Chapter 584: Full participation, career advancement
"Haha~"
Brand chuckled, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in his laughter, and then he continued.
"You should all be aware that the Swiss U-17 team is currently the biggest star in world youth tennis and has become a thorn in the side of many other national teams."
"They might be wary of Abei's strength, but that may not be the case for the rest of you."
"So, we have to continue to deepen our training."
"I'm sure everyone has heard that we're going to Australia."
"The purpose of our trip is to participate in this year's Sydney Cup Professional Challenge in Australia."
Having said that, Brand paused and swept his eyes over everyone's faces one by one, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.
He continued, "Of course, this competition itself is not mandatory for everyone to participate, so there are no hard and fast rules. If anyone doesn't want to participate, they can tell me in advance."
Brand stared at everyone with burning eyes. After saying this, he waited quietly, as if fully expecting someone to stand up and say that they didn't want to participate.
He tilted his head slightly, a faint smile still on his lips, his hands hanging casually at his sides. He seemed relaxed, but in fact he was nervously observing everyone's reactions.
However, after a few minutes, everyone looked calm and showed no intention of withdrawing.
Some players shook their heads slightly, while others looked at Brand firmly, their eyes revealing their desire for this game.
Seeing this, Brand slowly began to explain to everyone.
"Perhaps you may not be aware, but the Professional Challenge will not only feature talented players from around the world, but also many professional players."
"If you can seize this opportunity, perhaps your strength and combat experience will be greatly improved."
"Imagine how much you can learn from playing against those experienced pros."
As he spoke, he demonstrated the batting motion with his hands, trying to make everyone understand more intuitively.
After Brand finished speaking, everyone present remained calm on the surface, but deep in their eyes there was a glint of uncontrollable excitement.
In fact, except for Alexander Amadeus, the training of others has basically been carried out in the relatively closed environment of the training camp.
Although the days in the training camp were fulfilling, they were also a bit monotonous, and they longed for a wider world outside.
The biggest tournament they have played in so far is the U-17 World Cup, and that's only one at most.
After that, he never participated in any larger world tennis tournaments.
Therefore, this Sydney Cup Professional Challenge is undoubtedly a brand new high-level event that everyone has never encountered before. It is like a door to a wider world of tennis that is slowly opening to them.
Thinking about facing masters from all over the world, everyone's heartbeat unconsciously quickened a bit, and their hearts were filled with tension and anticipation.
In fact, even Byodoin Phoenix, who was originally in an extremely depressed mood, couldn't help but feel a little interested in it after hearing about this event.
He knew in his heart that the former Swiss captain Alexander Amadeus was of equal strength to himself.
However, he really couldn't beat the current captain Beichuan.
But he didn't dare to risk losing his tennis career by continuing to challenge Kitagawa. Doing so would undoubtedly put a shackle on his own growth.
The emergence of this professional challenge was like a timely rain, solving his urgent needs.
In this arena, he can compete with players of different strengths and improve himself without having to face the mountain of pressure from Beichuan.
Seeing this, Brand smiled and said, "Since everyone has no objection, then let's happily decide."
At that moment, Brand decisively finalized the next itinerary and arrangements.
The assistant behind him immediately took out the small notebook he carried with him and quickly wrote down some important matters, muttering from time to time: "Flight booking, hotel arrangements, training plan..."
However, these young people who are not well-versed in the world still do not realize the huge difference between professional challenge competitions and the regular competitions they participate in on a daily basis.
The so-called professional challenge is a comprehensive competition that brings together professional players, ordinary players and amateur players.
Perhaps many people find it difficult to truly understand the profound meaning of this phrase just by looking at its literal meaning.
But in fact, this kind of event has a fatal attraction for many people who have dreams of playing tennis. It is like a treasure emitting alluring light, attracting countless people.
The key point is that you can earn ATP points by performing well in this kind of event.
For professional players, ATP points are crucial, as they affect their ranking and future development.
However, many top professional players do not look favorably on events of this level as the Sydney Cup Professional Challenge.
Because of the existence of this kind of competition, it is very likely to become a tool for some professional players to cheat their scores.
Some stronger professional players will choose to win easily in such events and accumulate points quickly.
Although this kind of competition has its pros and cons, it does not affect the batches of ordinary players or amateur players who come to participate without hesitation with their dreams and aspirations.
It can be said that this kind of event is absolutely tailor-made and extremely suitable for the current Swiss U-17 team.
Here, they can not only compete with ordinary players or amateur players from other countries and exchange skills, but also have the opportunity to conduct in-depth learning and exchanges with professional players currently active in the field.
This is definitely a near-perfect opportunity to hone the team's overall strength.
Team members can learn advanced techniques and tactics from professional players and improve their game experience and psychological quality.
Another point worth mentioning is that competitions of this level are actually very common in the world of tennis.
Before the U-17 World Cup officially kicked off, many national teams were actually keen to choose this method to improve the strength of their team members and lay a solid foundation for achieving excellent results in the World Cup.
They know very well that only by constantly competing with players of various levels can they truly discover their own shortcomings and then conduct targeted training and improvement.
The Swiss U-17 team also hopes to use this Sydney Cup Professional Challenge to allow the players to receive all-round training and shine in the future U-17 World Cup.
