Episode 12 Plot: After defeating Miyagawa, Eiichirou returns to STC for some training that will make him better in 1 day. Eiichirou is teamed up with a Coach Mike from Florida who specializes in psychological training. Mike is envious of Eiichirou's notes and points out his notes will help him recall his shots faster, and that he only has 20 seconds to recall his best memories. Eiichirou is able to master this basic training of Mike, and in round 4 he defeats the 16-seed Terashima with relative ease. A broken string forces him to go to the tennis shop where he meets his quarterfinal opponent, 3-seed Iwasa Hiromi. Hiromi doesn't seem to have any interest in Eiichirou. After Hiromi leaves, the shop owner explains that Hiromi doesn't get to know his opponents in advance. Instead he learns and draws an image of them while they're playing on the court. Eiichirou is confused by this and wonders how someone can draw pictures while playing.
