A tennis prodigy leads his handsome tennis club to victory at the national tournament. Four-time consecutive U.S. Junior tournament champ Ryoma Echizen comes to Seishun Academy to further his reign as The Prince of Tennis.

And when Seishun Academy's Eiji succumbs to exhaustion, their chances of securing the crucial win over St. Rudolph's fades with each drop of their hard-earned sweat. Then, Seishun's setback turns into an even more daunting situation when their team equalizer, Ryoma Echizen, treads unfamiliar ground in his match against the infamous lefty killer Yuta. With Yuta's impressive win-loss record of 16-0 against left-handers, Ryoma's in for one tricky match….
