Tiebreaker-Style Elimination Match[]
Sanada asks Yukimura not to hold back during their match, but Yukimura just replies that Sanada never holds back to begin with.
Yukimura serves first. Sanada returns the serve with FuuRinKaInZanRai's Ka and approaches the net. Yukimura comments how Sanada's playing the same as usual and casually hits the return past him. Sanada catches up and returns the shot with Rai. While he acknowledges Rai as troublesome for breaking the racket strings, Yukimura uses the handle to hit it back instead. The spectators are in awe and say that this match is on an entirely different level.
While the other two matches have finished, the one between Rikkai's captain and vice-captain is still on the first point. However, Shishido comments that Sanada's movements have become strange. Sanada himself realizes that he can neither see nor hear any more, the Yips has started to affect him. Finally, Yukimura scores the first point.
The match between Sanada and Yukimura has become one-sided. Since Sanada is unable to see the ball, Yukimura quickly scores two more points, extending his lead to 3-0. As they continue to play, Yukimura remembers how much he owes Sanada for leading the team in his absence. The score is 5-0 now, Sanada keeps swinging his racket around and the spectators comment how he's trying to suppress the Yips with pure willpower.
Suddenly, a shot soars past Yukimura's head. Nobody knows what's going on, but Sanada is engulfed by a black aura. For a moment, Yukimura is shocked and scared. He then says that while he wanted to enjoy playing tennis today, it apparently won't be possible. In the end, Yukimura wins 7-1. Sanada walks off the court without accepting Yukimura's handshake. From the stands, Oni, Irie and Tokugawa comment how it's unfortunate that Sanada is forced to leave the camp, but that the coach makes the decisions.
