Dammit!
A jumping smash!
Its over, Oishi!
Dammit !
There!
Kikumaru!
Yo! Kikumaru!
Hes recovered?!
I cant believe it... They threw away two games for this?
I thought it would be too late.
Awright! Lets take this game back!
Gotcha!
Right here!
Here we go!
Hes still able to move that fast?!
Wow! Thats great! Seigakus Golden Pair!
Their feigned sleep attack is the best!
Theyre really going all out, arent they?
Theres no guessing the outcome.
Wow! Theyre great!
Kikumaru hardly moved at all during the two games
And Oishi covered for him just so that he could get his second wind?
But it was match point!
How reckless!
Ill sinkem again!
So sorry Too bad Try again next week!
Forty - Thirty
What a guy!
Kikumarus amazing! Hes too amazing!
Its all-out acrobatic play!
Just go for it!
Oh, Kikumaru! Youre wonderful!
Oh!
He makes for a great picture that Kikumaru
Oishi is amazing, too.
They fooled not only St. Rudolph, but everyone else here as well.
Its no wonder theyre called the Golden Pair.
They couldnt do that without the trust between them.
Yes!
Were nicely pumped up, Eiji. Lets go for another one.
Yup! Another one!
Boy, its hot.
Its still our match point. All we need is one more ball
and well win!
Fault!
Double fault
Deuce!
Hurray! What luck!
Two more points and well be even.
Im sorry to do that at such an important point.
Dont get flustered, Kaneda. Were still in the lead.
Yes
What are those guys doing?! Theyre so close to winning.
It must be a strain for St. Rudolph.
Yeah. Psychologically, theres nothing harder than to get caught up to
after youre practically assured of a win.
There!
There he goes again!
Diving volley!
Advantage, receiver!
I cant read their moves at all.
They come back with such unexpected shots that our attention gets distracted.
Such power. Seigaku has so much latent power!
Theyre getting quite flustered.
Theyre caught up in Seigakus pace.
At this rate, its going to be a battle of wills.
This isnt good. At this rate well be playing at their pace!
Out of the way, Kaneda!
Captain!
Its the blur shot!
Right!
His eyes are closed!
There it is!
Oishis Moon Volley!
Hes setting up for a Moon Volley! Get back, Kaneda!
Okay!
You wont catch us with the same trick!
A drop volley.
Game to Seigaku. Six games all!
I knew it! They did it! They caught up!
The setup?
Yeah. The clatter of the racket before his Moon Volley
That had no meaning at all, I guess.
He did it! He did it!
Good job, Oishi!
Theyve finally caught up!
Oishi is the greatest!
Okay Just a little more.
Yeah
Theyre finally at a tiebreaker.
Its so exciting, isnt it?
Damn
ST. RUDOLPH DEF 6 SEIGAKU 3 6
Good for them for bringing it to this point.
Twelve-point tiebreaker. Seigaku, Oishi to serve.
Say, whats a tiebreaker?
Beats me.
Basically, a 12-point tiebreak means whoever gets 7 points first wins.
However, if the score is 6-6, they must keep playing
until someone gets two points ahead.
Keep playing?
Dont worry. Those two will take seven points in no time.
Thats right. Theyre flaming hot, arent they?
I hope so.
Service starts with Oishi, which means
The Australian doubles formation!
In a tiebreak, the first point is crucial.
One-zero to Seigaku.
St. Rudolph, Akazawa to serve.
Huh? The serve changes?
From here on, so that it wont be unfair,
each side will serve two balls each.
Oh? Oh.
Damn
Kiku
maru!
What?!
Beam!
Two-zero to Seigaku.
Hurray! Yes!
Amazing! They took two in a row!
There we go!
Theres no stopping them now!
Amazing! Theyre just amazing!
This is crazy! I cant believe it.
What kind of players are they?!
How do you like it?
Our boys have made your data worthless, havent they?
Games are fun when you cant predict the moves, dont you think?
Theyre strong. So this is the pair that went all the way to the Nationals.
The St. Rudolph pair seems to be quite discouraged.
Three-zero Seigaku.
Hurray!
Keep going! Way to go!
Only four more!
Hey, Kaneda!
Captain
Dont give up till the end.
Are you going to make me play singles again?
Im sorry, Captain!
We can still turn this around!
Yeah
Go! Seigakus Golden Pair! Keep this momentum up!
Actually, they should have ended the match before it went to a tiebreaker.
Heres your chance, Eiji!
Okay!
Oh! Huh?!
Oh! Aah
Oh! Oh!
Three-one to St. Rudolph.
Sorry
Are you all right, Eiji?
Yeah, Im fine. Im fine.
Oh
Kikumaru!
St. Rudolph is playing with more spirit now.
Inui What did you mean, earlier?
What did you mean by
they should have ended the match before it went to the tiebreaker?
Youll understand soon enough.
Inoue, do you understand?
Game and match to St. Rudolph.
You played well
Im sorry, Ms. Ryuzaki.
What are you worried about?
You two did very well.
Oishi
This is so frustrating!
Its too bad, but Kikumaru just didnt have enough stamina
to take him to that tiebreaker, much less through it.
He really came to a screeching halt, didnt he?
Yeah.
Whod have thought theyd give seven points in a row.
My batteries ran out.
Tough luck.
Sorry, guys. We leave the rest to you.
Yeah. We got it.
Right.
Captain We finally won!
I cant believe it. I thought it was the end.
Yeah.
Actually, we won by luck.
But, Mizukis scenario was great. He even predicted it would end at 7-6.
Mizuki
To think that Oishi and Kikumaru, the Golden Pair, would lose
No way Seigakus Golden Pair lost?
St. Rudolph? Amazing
Were lucky to have won, but
the Australian Formation and Kikumarus rebound
Too many unexpected things happened.
Even #2 doubles!
Kaidos Boomerang Snake and Momoshiros dunk smash
that keeps getting stronger
And besides, there was that loss by default.
These were never in my scenario!
What? One win and one loss?
Yeah
Mizukis scenario never missed ever since the District Matches.
Oh!
If it doesnt go according to the scenario,
that means were slacking in the final stage.
Wow!
It bounced up and
Whatever I cant lose to Seigaku.
Not to Seigaku. AndI wont disappoint Mizuki.
Huh? Huh?
Shusuke Fuji!
Hey, your kiduholder brother
Oww!
Yuta, Im going on ahead. Dont be too late.
You seem well, Yuta. Are you getting accustomed to dorm life?
I was sure you were going to be #1 or #2 singles,
and I was looking forward to playing you.
Dont lie! If you want it, Ill take you on.
That 7th grader who beat Inui for a spot on the regular team
hell do as my opponent.
Ill use my whole body and soul to defeat that 7th grader!
I dont care if you get beaten into the ground by Mizuki.
Then St. Rudolph will win.
Never mind me. But that rookie wont be that easy to beat, Yuta.
We wont know until I play him.
Thats the ball Yuta hit. That technique
Mizuki?
Ryoma
Huh?
Ryoma Uh
Uh Doubles Uh
Seigakulost
I wonder where Ryoma went.
He was here just a minute ago.
Hes so much trouble
Of course, hes probably somewhere taking a nap.
#3 singles Its the most important match.
You think Echizen is ready?
Who knows?
Hes gone somewhere to do his own style of meditation.
UhRyoma
There are a lot of strong players in the Metropolitan Matches, arent there?
Seigaku seems to be having a hard time.
I wonder if Fudomine and Yamabuki Middle School
will advance to the semifinals.
Will you have to play
Fudomine again?
There are lots of strong players in the Nationals.
Stronger than you?
Why dont you find out for yourself?
Then Echizen
Why dont you become the pillar of Seigakus team?
I challenge you allto come at me!
Hey, #3 singles is starting. Lets hurry.
We will now begin the #3 singles match between Seigaku and St. Rudolph.
This is St. Rudolphs Mizuki.
Indeed you are the Seigaku tennis team for playing beyond my expectations.
And great job, Seigaku rookie Ryoma Echizen, at provoking Yuta,
but Yuta is not called Lefty-Killer for nothing.
Next on The Prince of Tennis: Twist Spin Shot
Enjoy Yutas Lefty-Killer.
