Information[]
Despite a young history, the St. Rudolph tennis team has consistently been one of the Best 8 from Tokyo. This year, under the new management of Mizuki Hajime, the team received a new facelift and a boost in quality. Five of the current seven regulars are new recruits who transferred to St. Rudolph. These players belong to a "Reinforcement" program that emphasizes on their training regiment and provides them with flexibility on their academics. During the Tokyo Prefectural Tournament, Mizuki's calculations overestimated St. Rudolph's chances, as they suffered losses to both Seishun Gakuen and Hyoutei Gakuen. Their sixth place standing ended their run at this year's tournament. St. Rudolph is a Catholic institution with its own dormitory.
