As Alex is starting to surpass his past with a more powerful forehand and backhand attacks, Eiichiro is starting to surpass his own tennis style as well.
Synopsis[]
Even when Eiichiro manages to read Alex's moves, it seems to be not enough to get a point against Alex. On the other hand, with his improved backhand, Alex has starting to utilize the usage of his forehand. Alex manages to get the break from Eiichiro using a forehand return.
Eiichiro needs to break the next set in order not to lose in the second set. He makes his plan simple - not to let Alex hit the forehand easily. Instead of remembering what was on his data, Eiichiro focuses on the data in front of him - and manages to get a point. Eiichiro wonders the reason behind and notices that his body is reacting faster than his brain.
