Provoked by Atobe, Chris finally attacks, but as he strikes the ball it turns out that he's lost his sense of touch during the extended rally. There is a flashback of the Australians discussing their tactics for this match, but in reality Chris is unable to hold on to his racket when trying to return Sanada's Black Dragon. In another flashback, Yukimura and Sanada are mounting a comeback in the match they played as kids. The result isn't shown, but back in the present they've won 7-5 and Japan celebrates.
