Chapter 171: career path

"Match Point(

Can NCAA players play professional games?

The answer is of course yes.

There is no doubt that NCAA players can not only participate in low-level hopes and challenges, but also participate in the top Grand Slam events.

Macdonald had already won a Challenger Championship before going to UCLA.

So, what is the difference between NCAA players and professional players?

In essence, there is still a gap in strength.

NCAA players can only be regarded as a stage between amateur players and professional players. Many NCAA players will take advantage of the gap between seasons to participate in some hope and challenge games, hoping to play against professional players and polish their abilities. In the end, I still have to return to the NCAA to complete my studies and competitions.

Former world No. 1 Jim-Courier (Jim-Courier) won four Grand Slam titles in his career, and he is also from the NCAA.

Courier said, including myself, 99.9% of players are not real geniuses. They have already touched the ceiling in the NCAA and should not be transferred to the professional arena.

Because Courier's performance in college was mediocre, he didn't show enough strength and ability until he was about to graduate from college, which gave him the confidence to challenge his career.

In other words, 99.9% of NCAA players should not turn professional.

Of course, "should not" does not mean "can't".

So, why can't you play the NCAA and participate in professional competitions at the same time? Don't many players do this?

Bonuses, that's why.

According to the regulations, if you participate as an NCAA player, the ATP, WTA and ITF prohibit players from withdrawing the game bonus. Just like McDonald, the championship bonus of the challenge has always been stored in the ITF account. The money can only be withdrawn by giving up tennis.

Similarly, the NCAA will also disqualify players from winning college scholarships for sports specialties after officially changing careers after professional organization registration qualifications-but players can still continue their college studies if they are willing.

In simple terms, the NCAA is amateur tennis, and they and professional events are two systems, so both sides prohibit players from getting two "salaries".

For NCAA players, once they turn professional, it means that there is no support and no assistance. Not only do they need to form their own coaching team and training team, but they also need to pay for the participation fees for global travel. Without the support of sponsors, huge consumption It's enough to take your breath away.

Without enough self-confidence, NCAA players will not turn professional rashly.

Therefore, it often happens that NCAA players participate in professional competitions and become dark horses with glossy dark colors. They have achieved good results in the Grand Slam. Considering the huge bonus, they officially leave the NCAA and turn professional after the Grand Slam is over. Use the winnings as your first start-up capital.

Not uncommon.

Of course, the NCAA and professional events are also happy to see it, because it also means that professional tennis has added another competitive player. They all hope that this player can increase his competitiveness and prolong his career. Exercise is a good thing.

Hearing that Gao Wen wanted to challenge professional competition, Martin was slightly surprised.

But when you think about it, it's understandable.

Martin nodded slightly, "Indeed, you should now enter the professional game to open your eyes and see how professional players control the rhythm of the game. This will be good for you."

Gao Wen is a typical player who plays with his brain. His batting style and line combination are very spiritual. He needs to learn, and he needs to compete with real masters. It doesn't matter even if he experiences some failures.

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Agreeing to agree, Martin still felt a little surprised.

"Or is there too little homework?"

Gawain was amused by Martin's joke, scratched his head and explained.

"After the national championship game, there will be a group of players who need to face choices. I hope that when it is my turn to make choices, I can understand myself better."

In fact, it was because of Saramento.

Gao Wen knew Saramento's strength, even though it was difficult to become a top player when he turned professional, he still had no problem occupying a place in the professional circuit; however, Saramento still chose to turn around and leave.

For Gao Wen, the impact is very direct.

Of course, thanks to the help of the system, Gao Wen is confident about turning professional, but he also knows that he needs to adjust his position and recognize his current strength, so it is very necessary to try to enter the professional arena to hone his skills—

He will never admit that he is greedy to slap wool on those professional players. More intense confrontation and more difficult games are all good opportunities to slap wool. No, no, no, why would he think so?

Martin lifted his chin slightly, showing a knowing expression, and then nodded again.

"Let's prepare for the singles competition first. I'll help you take a look at the professional competition."

Hope match, challenge match, tour match, what level of event, what scale of event, and what level of masters to play against, these are actually very particular.

But the problem is that players without world ranking points basically have no right to choose, and can only play from the lowest level of competition one by one. If the college coach helps to contact and get some wild cards or qualifying wild cards, things will be much simpler for the players. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Martin still had a partiality for Gawain.

Grant gave Martin a meaningful look, so that Martin coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Coach, what do you do if other people know?"

"...Of course I treat everyone equally! I'm an impartial person, huh?"

"Yes, yes, the coach must be so."

In this compartment, Gawain had already trotted all the way back to Macdonald's side. He noticed his friend's gaze, and before asking, Gawain spoke directly.

"I asked the coach if he wanted to play professional games after the season."

To ask for the coach's opinion, on the one hand, it is to see Martin's thoughts, and to examine whether Gao Wen's strength has reached the corresponding level from the coach's perspective.

On the other hand, it is because of the summer training. If you participate in professional competitions, the school’s training will definitely need to be adjusted. This is the case from the pre-preparation period to the actual competition period. Gao Wen does not have a professional coaching team. Comments from Martin et al. are needed.

Macdonald's eyes lighted up slightly.

"Ha! I'm also thinking about participating in one or two hope competitions this summer and seeing the training results of the whole season."

"Huh? Is that so? Then after the U.S. Championship, we will train together. I think Klay and Marcos seem to be considering whether to turn professional. Maybe we can still train together."

"Okay, okay, this is the best. If you go to participate in the competition, you can also go with a company, otherwise it will be really boring to compete everywhere by yourself."

As they talked, the eyes of the two people brightened, and they couldn't help jumping and cheering eagerly. The laughter surged in their chests, stepping on the last ray of sunset that was about to disappear at the edge of the sky, rushing towards the splendor of the night among the magnificent.
