Early the next morning, Fan Ju had already gotten up early, black Africa seemed far away, but the time difference was actually only 5 hours of time difference, it was not troublesome to turn upside down, but it was a little late at night, Fan Ju estimated that he would be able to adjust it almost one day.
Stretching a big lazy waist Fan Ju can't be idle, he and Matata's plane today is 9 o'clock in the morning, the ticket with a mess of those expenses add up to a total of 12o US dollars, his tour guide's ticket has to pay for Fan Ju, but for the sake of cheap tour guide fees, Fan Ju is impossible to go to a place and change another tour guide.
In fact, the total cost is quite fair, the employment fee negotiated by Fan Ju is 28o US dollars for 14 days, according to the qualifying competition time notified by the competition is July 5th, and the competition time of the main competition is July 8th, plus the round-trip distance and the reserved time to adapt to the environment, the 14-day employment days are almost just right.
Of course, during the period, Matata will be responsible for all the outings and hotel ticket bookings and vehicle time arrangements during Fanju's stay in Kenya, so this money is not easy to earn, not to mention that in addition to the large expenses such as air tickets, Fanju needs to subsidize himself, and other accommodation and meals during Matata's tour guide are not responsible for Fanju, which can be described as the best example of good quality and low price.
After a day in Nairobi, Fan Ju didn't stay long except to take a few photos along the way, but when he got on a plane and flew to Mombasa along the vast East African plains, the more Fan Ju felt that his trip to Kenya would end well.
Of course, he didn't forget what he promised, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely take Yan Ximu here to spend a good vacation and enjoy the wild natural scenery here, but it is unimaginable on the plane, Kenya is not only the natural scenery of the grassland to see.
"It's so blue! The sea here is so beautiful, and it is enviable that your country has such a beautiful sea. "The sea and the sky are the same color, the blue sea rippling blue sea, the intersection of different shades of sea water is like a jewel-like brilliant color, and the clear sea water is the ** that makes people melt into the sea, the word beautiful may be born for this moment.
"Mr. Fan Ju, your country is also very beautiful, and I also hope that one day my country will be as rich and strong as your country."
Although Matata's personality is lively, he also has ideas and ideas, and he is very proud of his motherland, but he also knows that it is not enough to have beautiful scenery, on the contrary, he is very envious of China's industrial strength, which can build his own sound planes, huge ships and rocket satellites to fly into space, which is exactly what his motherland lacks.
Entering the city along the seaside, the huge ivory gates that line the streets, the old European buildings left over from the Ottoman and even Portuguese maritime periods, the comfortable sea breeze and the pleasant temperature, not to mention the wild nature reserve just a few hours away, this is undoubtedly a great place to visit.
However, Fan Ju did not have time to linger in this holy place for long, after completing the check-in of the hotel, Fan Ju rushed to the official institution of the competition, today is July 3, tomorrow at 12 noon will be the last time for registration, and at that time, as long as the players have not arrived at the stadium to register, they will be deemed to have given up the game.
"Sir, here is your player certificate and accompanying accompaniment card, please go to the Mombasa United Tennis Complex tomorrow at 1pm for the qualifying draw, please be sure not to be late." The staff were very enthusiastic when they saw someone registering, as if they were afraid that the Asian would turn around and leave if he was dissatisfied.
When he was in the tennis center, he had been listening to Coach Li say that there were so few people in this game, how easy it was to enter the main match, and even as long as he was not too unlucky to meet a master, as long as he could win a point in the main match, he would be sure.
But Fan Ju, who has learned about the situation of the Hope Match, has always felt that the coach is blowing nonsense, if it is so easy, why didn't I see you sending people out to compete? As for the desperate struggle for these domestic places?
However, as soon as I learned about the situation in Kenya, I really misunderstood the coach, and this is really the way it happened.
Matata, who was accompanied by the side, was holding the escort card at this time and looked through it excitedly, Rao is that he has received so many guests, but he is still very happy to get a certificate to watch all tennis matches for free, you must know that he has seen the price list, a ticket for a qualifying tournament has to cost 1o US dollars, and each match in the main tournament is a ticket of 2o US dollars, how much money do you have to save with this certificate!
Regardless of Matata, who was counting the value of this small card with his fingers, Fan Ju was still digesting the news he had just received from the registrar.
"There should be 32 people in the qualifying tournament of a hope tournament, but now I have only added myself to the ninth, and the list of the main competition is also 32 people, and there are 19 people who signed up to participate in the competition directly, and 4 people have already announced that they have given up the competition, even if the other people are all on the list of 15 people, plus the 4 people who are wild cards, there are 13 promotion places in the main competition, which means that if those people have not arrived in the future, as long as they play one qualifying round, and then they can advance regardless of winning or losing, this is too easy, right?" Fan Ju was almost dumbfounded when he saw the number of people, no wonder the coach said that as long as you are lucky, you can only win one game, which is a big truth that has no water at all.
However, there is still a lot of time for the qualifiers to be reported, and there will definitely be a lot of local players to report, and as long as the number of qualifiers exceeds the number of promoters, then the qualifiers will definitely be played, of course, if the signing luck is better, there may be a chance to advance directly after the bye, and even if you lose, you will have the opportunity to draw lots to advance, anyway, as long as you have good luck, a qiē is possible.
"Mr. Fan Ju, are you going to the beach? Mombasa has a lot to offer. Although Matata lives in Nairobi, he is not only familiar with the seaside port city of Mombasa, but also very familiar with it, and many tourists choose to come here to relax and soak up the sun after enjoying the natural beauty of the East African savannah.
Fan Ju thought about it and nodded in agreement, even if he wanted to practice alone, he couldn't find a sparring partner, and besides, tomorrow it was just a draw and no competition, so it was good to go to the beach for a while, and I don't know if there will be a black girl in a bikini basking in the sun on the beach?
Without Yan Ximu staring at Fan Ju and bold, of course, it is impossible to find an affair to accompany him, but it is no problem to get over the addiction, compared to the conservative swimming pools and bathing beaches in China, Fan Ju is more looking forward to going to those foreign seaside beaches to play, not only beautiful scenery, but also cool beauties can be eye-catching, it is really comfortable.
Time flies exceptionally fast in a beautiful place, soaking on the beach for an afternoon, although there are not many beauties to see, but the comfortable environment does make Fan Ju relax a lot.
The next afternoon, Fan Ju and Matata appeared at the lottery venue half an hour early, and this habit of arriving early made Matata feel a little strange, wondering if it was a Chinese custom?
Fan Ju will tell him that he is actually purely waiting for himself, don't look at Fan Ju's calm appearance, but after all, it is his first professional game, and he got up early this morning and found a wall in the hotel to fight for more than an hour, and the training effect is enough to warm up, but it attracted many tourists in the hotel to watch, which made Fan Ju feel embarrassed.
"Mombasa, the next thing we will do is the draw for this Mombasa International Tennis Hope." The chairman of the local ITF Tennis Association presided over the draw, and Fan Ju also felt that the other party attached great importance to it, after all, there is only one international tournament that can be held in a year, and even the participants in this one are almost dissatisfied, and the tennis environment is not even comparable to that in China.
The Organizing Committee is relieved that except for the four who gave up, the other players finally arrived on time, although the number of qualifiers was indeed a little smaller, but among the contestants, the organizing committee was pleasantly surprised, not only some common African players and European and Indian players, but also a Chinese participated.
Although Fan Ju has neither a world ranking nor a record of ITF tournament results in the past, it is a great achievement for the local ITF Tennis Association to have Chinese players come to Mombasa to "brush up points", at least this means that local tennis competitions are recognized by more and more countries, and it is a strong proof that the tournaments held in Mombasa have enhanced their international influence.
Every country has such a group of yy utopians in their heads, Fan Ju came to Kenya purely to meet, but speaking of this group of people's misunderstanding is not without benefit to Fan Ju, under the arrangement of a group of common interests, Fan Ju's draw made some small arrangements, and this arrangement can not only ensure that he enters the main competition, but also allows Fan Ju to get better results in the main competition.
Fan Ju didn't know it, he didn't even know that he had been unspoken rules, I have to say that for a small tennis country like Kenya, it is enough for players from their own country to be able to get a professional point by playing the game, and it is not the first time that they have preferential treatment for international players and domestic players on the schedule, they are very naïve to hope that they can rely on their friendly actions to enhance the popularity of local competitions in Europe and even the world, perhaps it seems unfair to do so, but for countries with weak economies and tennis, But it has long been a way out.
