The newbie tournament begins. Ryo plays Matsuda in the individual event singles finals. Ebihara advises them to consider each other's strengths and weaknesses as they play. Finally, the match begins. Ryo utilizes the tenacity he possesses that Matsuda lacks, but Matsuda's skillful shots outperforms his strategy. As Matsuda's lead widens, Ryo begins to panic. Unable to find an opportunity to counterattack, Ryo feels increasingly cornered...
