Final Score 3-6 |
Fuji initially struggled in this match because Itsuki hits cord balls, countering his triple counters that require spins. However, Fuji figured that if a cord ball hits the net, it would give enough spin to perform his triple counters.
The audience to this match commented on how Fuji and Eiji worked so well together in doubles despite never having being paired up. They were classmates and new each others play-style well.
