Book excerpt: 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. His skill is matched only by his attitude--irking some but impressing all as he leads his team to the Nationals and beyond! Practice games soar to a new level as the Seishun Academy intra-squad games get underway. Meanwhile, the semifinal match between Fudomine and Yamabuki at the City Tournament is put on ice when word reaches Kippei that his teammates were involved in a car accident. But the real fun begins when Seishun's Momo steps onto the court to play Yamabuki's Kiyosumi Sengoku. Momo sure wasn't prepared to face a player who uses a racket with an unusually low string tension...!
