    Synopsis:

    The National Tournament marks a pivotal moment for Ryouma Echizen and the Seishun Academy tennis team. After navigating rigorous preliminary matches, they now face formidable opponents vying for the championship. Their first challenge comes in the form of Higa Middle School, an underdog team known for unconventional strategies that prioritize victory above fair play. This encounter compels Seishun to defend their commitment to honest competition.

    Advancing to the quarterfinals, the team encounters Hyoutei Academy, a school seeking redemption after a disappointing regional performance. Hyoutei's presence at the Nationals is viewed with skepticism, and they are determined to prove their worth. The series explores contrasting philosophies of tennis – emphasizing skill versus unconventional tactics – as Ryouma and his teammates navigate intense matches and confront familiar rivals in their pursuit of national glory.
