The Prince of Tennis: From Data-Driven Tennis to the Pinnacle of His Career

"The third match begins. Yamabuki and Rikkai will each take their third singles matches."

"Kagura, it's all up to you now."

Gu Jimu Xin patted Kagura Yiren on the shoulder, his face full of solemnity.

Yamabuki is currently leading 2-0, which seems like a great situation, but only they know that Yamabuki has already played all their cards.

This match between Kagura and Yiren will directly determine the final outcome.

"Don't worry, senior."

Kagura Ijin smiled confidently at Tani Yoshiki Shin, picked up his racket, and strode confidently toward the referee.

His opponent this time is Genichiro Sanada from Rikkai University.

"A decisive game, Sanada serves."

"Kagura, we haven't officially fought yet, have we?"

Genichiro Sanada looked at Ichijin Kagura across from him with a complicated expression.

Rikkai were completely outmaneuvered by Yamabuki in both doubles and singles, clearly indicating that their opponents came prepared and aimed to end the match in the first three games.

Rikkai University has now been forced into a corner, with no way to retreat.

"no."

Kagura Ichijin shook his head.

Genichiro Sanada's target has always been Kunimitsu Tezuka; he has no interest in him.

He was the same way; if he wanted to challenge someone, he would go directly to Yukimura Seiichi.

If they hadn't met in this competition, the two might never have had the chance to face each other face-to-face like this.

"Then let's settle this once and for all."

Genichiro Sanada pulled down the brim of his hat, his eyes becoming unusually sharp.

To give Mori Jusaburo and Yukimura Seiichi a chance to play, and for Rikkai's glory, he absolutely could not lose this match.

"Yes, it's about time."

Kagura Ichijin turned and walked towards the receiving area. Neither he nor Sanada Genichiro could afford to lose this match.

"Bang!"

Genichiro Sanada tossed the ball high into the air and then immediately used the Swift as the Wind technique.

His swing was so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye, and the tennis ball flew to the other side in an instant.

"15-0!"

"Such a fast swing speed."

Kagura Ikjin was slightly startled.

Although Genichiro Sanada's serve speed is just over 200 km/h, his extremely fast swing speed makes the ball's trajectory unpredictable.

Genichiro Sanada has grown a lot; he's much stronger than he was a year ago.

"Swift as the wind!"

After the serve, Genichiro Sanada saw Ichijin Kagura running towards the ball's landing point.

"Bang!"

The moment the racket made contact with the tennis ball, a heavy force was felt.

Kagura Ichijin gritted his teeth and forcefully headed the ball back.

"A great opportunity!"

Genichiro Sanada decisively moved to the net, leaped high, and delivered a powerful smash to score the point.

"30-0!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Kagura Ichijin directly hit the ball back with both hands.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"30-15!"

After more than ten rounds, Kagura Ichijin scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"I've adapted so quickly..."

Genichiro Sanada felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Kagura Ikjin is indeed not simple. He neutralized Ji Rufeng so easily. It seems that he has to get serious now.

"Swift as the wind!"

After serving again, Genichiro Sanada stared intently at Ichijin Kagura, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

After more than ten rounds, Genichiro Sanada delivered a powerful smash to his opponent.

"lie!"

Although Kagura Ijin managed to catch the ball, his racket was sent flying by the enormous impact.

"40-15!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Genichiro Sanada resorted to his old tricks once again.

"Bang!"

After applying spin to the ball to reduce its force, Kagura Ichijin was able to return the ball.

"A great opportunity!"

Genichiro Sanada decisively ran to the ball's landing point and hit a short ball directly.

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 1-0!"

"They're so difficult to deal with."

Looking at Kagura Ichijin, whose expression remained calm, Sanada Genichiro frowned.

Although he won the first game, he could sense that Kagura Yijin was quickly adapting to his rhythm.

"Sanada, that was swift as the wind and aggressive as fire, right? What about still as the forest and immovable as a mountain? Let me see them too."

Kagura Ichijin smiled slightly. Although Sanada Genichiro's moves were exquisite, they were not invincible.

As long as he doesn't expose too many openings when returning the ball, it won't be so easy for Genichiro Sanada to score.

"Okay, but only if you can force me to use it."

Genichiro Sanada snorted and walked to the receiving area to assume a defensive stance.

"no problem."

Kagura Ijin took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, bent his knees, and then swung his racket with all his might!

"15-0!"

"It was indeed very fast."

Looking at the still-trembling barbed wire behind him, Genichiro Sanada's expression turned solemn.

The ball's speed has exceeded 215 km/h!

Even he felt a lot of pressure, but fortunately he had a way to catch such a high-speed ball.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Kagura Ichijin carefully observed Sanada Genichiro's movements.

"Immovable as a mountain!"

Genichiro Sanada caught the ball steadily and returned it.

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

The battle raged on for dozens of rounds until Genichiro Sanada hit the ball into the corner on the other side, bringing the tug-of-war to an end.

"15-15!"

"Is this what they mean by 'immovable as a mountain'? The defense is indeed impenetrable."

Kagura Ichijin sighed inwardly.

With his four tactical forms of "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain," Genichiro Sanada is already on par with those national-level players.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Kagura Ijin adopted a defensive stance, showing no intention of launching an attack.

He has decided to fight a protracted war, which is currently the best strategy.

Genichiro Sanada's unyielding stance is unbreakable. Rather than launching an offensive and revealing a weakness, it's better to wait and see how the situation develops.

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Bang!"

After several dozen rounds, Sanada Genichiro looked at Kagura Ichijin, who hadn't even broken a sweat, and his heart sank.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer. Kagura Ichijin was skilled in data tennis, and once his opponent was completely familiar with his playing style, he would have no chance of winning.

"Aggression burns like fire!"

Genichiro Sanada decisively changed his tactics and launched an offensive.

"Bang!"

After applying spin again and returning the ball, Kagura Ichijin smiled slightly.

Although Genichiro Sanada had already realized his intentions, changing the situation was not so easy.

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

……

"Bang!"

After more than twenty rounds, Kagura Ijin decisively rushed to the net and used a volley.

"30-15!"

"hateful!"

After Kagura Ikjin seized the opportunity to score, Sanada Genichiro's expression turned extremely ugly.
