Singles 3

Seigaku vs. Jyousei Shounan

Kaidou vs. Wakato Hiroshi

 Before the game starts, Wakato does his Changeover move, where he uses the playing style of a famous tennis player.  Kaidou serves first, and takes the return stance of a famous tennis player.  The first play style he imitates is Lleyton Hewitt known for forehand with giant swing, two-handed backhand, and leg strength to reach any ball.  Wakato and Kaidou rally until Wakato wins the first point (15-0).  Wakato continues to win the next couple points (40-0).  Kaidou decides to lob, but Wakato catches up to it and returns it with his back to the net.  Kaidou tries to return, but he hits the ball into the net.  Wakato leads (1-0).  Wakato serves and another rally starts another rally between the two until Wakato does a top spin return.  Kaidou does his Snake to return and win the point (15-0).  Wakato serves again and rallying continues.  Wakato tries to drop volley, but Kaidou successfully returns it for the point (30-0).  Wakato does another Changeover.  Wakato starts playing in the style of Pete Sampras known for his sharp serve and all-round play.  Wakato serves with the two hitting each other’s returns until Kaidou leaves himself open to Wakato’s smash similar to Momoshiro’s Dunk Smash (15-30 Jyousei).   The game progresses and Kaidou tries to return a ball, falls short, and lands on the ground (30-30).  Wakato serves again and moves up the net for a serve and volley.  Kaidou manages to reach the net, but returns a chance ball that Wakato dunk smashes (40-30).  Wakato serves again and Kaidou’s return is returned with a Dunk Smash.  Kaidou moves to the net to score the point (deuce 40-40).  Wakato serves again the two continue to rally.  With Kaidou at the net, he returns the ball easily and scores another point.  Wakato continues his service.  He thinks that Kaidou is moving to the net, but realizes mid-return, it is a feint.  Kaidou does his Snake to win the game (1-1).

 

Just before Kaidou’s service game, Wakato does another Changeover.  Kaidou serves, and Wakato easily returns.  Kaidou barely manages to return the ball, but Wakato succeeds in winning the point (0-15 Seigaku).  It’s revealed that Wakato is imitating the style of Andre Agassi, a return specialist with a powerful compact swing.  The two rally until Wakato does a “Rising Shot” to win another point (0-30).  The two start another rally with Wakato easily returning even Kaidou’s Snake.  The two continue to rally until one of Kaidou’s returns lands out (0-40).  Both rally with Wakato winning Kaidou’s service play (2-1).

 

Before his service, Wakato does yet another Changeover and switches the racquet to his left hand.  He serves and gets a service ace.  This time he’s imitating Goran Ivanisevic, a top left-handed tennis pro who plays serve and volley style.   Wakato serves again and returns Kaidou’s return shot for another point (30-0 Jyousei).  Wakato ends up winning another two games (4-2).  In Kaidou’s service, Wakato does another Changeover into Gustav Kuerten.  The two continue to rally, during which Kaidou realizes he has played all the different play styles from playing his team mates.  He wins the points (15-0).  The two continue to play until Kaidou pulls ahead (6-5).  Wakato does yet another Changeover into Kaidou!  The two rally until Wakato does a Snake winning a point.  Wakato wins this game (6-6), putting the game into a tiebreak.  The two rally with return Snake shots.  Wakato wins the first point in the 12 point tie break.  Wakato serves and the two rally until Kaidou does a Snake shot winning the shot (1-1).  Both rally varying between regular shots and Snake shots with Kaidou using a running Snake shot.  The rally continues until Kaidou does a Boomerang snake winning a point (2-1).  Game progresses with another Snake shot war.  Wakato wins the next point (2-2).  The Snake Wars continue until Kaidou does another Boomerang Snake (3-2).  Kaidou starts using Echizen’s strategy against him in the spring ranking matches, where shots are made deep to the baseline taking away an opponent’s stamina.  Wakato finally realizes this when Kaidou does a Boomerang Snake which Wakato attempts to return with a Boomerang Snake.  However, he cannot do it because he does not have refined wrist technique like Kaidou.  Kaidou wins 7-6.  Winner:  Seigaku
