Synopsis[]
Eiichiro plays a one-set match against Ike. He remembers his 10-minute match with Ike and all he did was to earn a point from Ike. Ike manages to earn a point even though Eiichiro hits his best shots. He lost in a one-sided match. He initially feels that all his hard work was for nothing but he changed his view point, noting that he appreciates how incredible Ike is because of how much he has improved.
After the match, Eiichiro returns to the courts where Atsushi and Alex are. Atsushi mentions that it is a good thing that Eiichiro managed to have a match against Ike before leaving the place. Coach Kevin asks Alex if he can have a three-set match against Eiichiro. Eiichiro thinks that Alex will decline because Alex declined the match against him on the first place. He took him a surprise when Alex accepts the match.
