At the hospital, a gloomy Medanore looks at Nanjirou, who is showing no signs of improvement. As he leaves, he tells him to wake up.
Outside, Ryoma is confused and messing around with a keyring. Ryoga approaches him, gives him a soda, and asks him what it is, and his brother replies that their dad was holding it when he collapsed. Once again, the elder brother complains that Nanjirou really doesn’t want them to duke it out, and Ryoma points out that it’s because of Ryoga. The latter agrees, but he says they shouldn’t fight now and should instead check out Nanjirou. As they move, they see Medanore walk away.
Back to the match, Silva’s Parkour forces Japan to break their defense, and Julio scores with this opening. The score is now 2-1.
As Mouri is about to serve, we get a flashback from last night:
[Mouri wanders in the hallways, he needs some sweets before he goes to bed. He notices that the coaches are having a meeting in Ochi’s room. Saito tells him that the coaches have been approached by scouts who are looking for pros. The sponsor wanted a responsible player who had a healthy lifestyle and no attitude problems in order to work in a team, and Ochi fit those conditions the best. Some risk their lives or take others to hell, and those are not fit to be professionals. Also, playing overseas would mean constant travel by plane.
The coaches then ask if Ochi is interested, and he remains silent while Mouri gets happy for him for this offer.]
Back in the present, Kimijima comments that Mouri seems more enthusiastic than usual. Mouri tells himself that he won’t let the Spanish get in the way of Ochi becoming a pro and scores to make it 2-2.

Tezuka points out that the Japanese are in perfect sync and can maximize each other’s strengths to keep their serves. Bertie wonders why Japan hasn’t used this pair at all until now if they are that good. Bismarck proposes that perhaps they were being hidden for the finals as a trump card. After QP says that whoever gets the lead first will win the set, both pairs keep their serves reaching the score of 4-4.
The Spanish kick up a gear and have a perfect opportunity thanks to Silva’s erratic movements that not even Amadeus’ Dark Side could seal... but Mouri counters this with his Sleep Tennis and scores!
Yanagi explains that, by sleeping, Mouri can fully concentrate and enter “the zone”. This allows him to recognize any ball instantly and, since he’s such a natural talent that utilises his body to its fullest, he can hit any shot the way he pleases. A miracle play that only Mouri can do.
Spain is not discouraged by this and remains aggressive. As Julio jokes with Silva suggesting singing a lullaby to copy this, he recognises Sleep Tennis and how the speed and rotation of the ball has significantly increased. He manages to find a gap in Ochi’s defense and seemingly scores... but Mouri reaches the ball and makes it 0-40!
It’s revealed that Ochi trusted Mouri so much that he dared Julio to make that shot. Oishi observes that his seniors managed to quickly force mistakes in the world’s top doubles, and they have enough power, creativity, technique, and adaptability to win this match.
The high-schoolers are more pessimistic, however. They point out that Mouri has never used his sleep mode so early before, and had no choice but to take a risk and attack first because Spain’s pace was too strong.
Byoudouin says that they cannot afford to hide their trump cards, since they are fighting for the top of the world. They are always fighting on the edge, looking for opportunities to win.
Japan breaks Spain’s serve and the score is now 5-4.

The Twin Towers receive praise after breaking their opponents’ service game, and now it’s Ochi’s time to serve.
Ochi aces with 2 Machs. Oni points out that, even if they manage to return it, Mouri is preying at the vanguard, so the only way out is to aim at his body and slow down the rally.
“Of course... masked man J”
“...I thought you had him beat? Masked man H.
Julio approaches the serve but its trajectory suddenly changes. It wasn’t a Mach, but a Warp!
Byoudouin explains that Ochi added a sinker spin to the serve, which changed its trajectory. Tanegashima points out that this way he can protect Mouri.
Ochi aces Silva with a Mach. His service is now even better now that he can use different techniques. Japan wins the first set, 6-4!
Silva notices that Julio is leaving and wonders where he’s going. The latter approaches Ochi and is seemingly mentally assassinated.
Medanore and Romeo point out that it was a pity since Bambieri had aligned himself perfectly to return a Warp, he just didn’t guess right.
Mares tells his teammates to forget about the first set and start over. He’ll be cheering for their best doubles. He then whispers to Julio, telling him that they seemingly have the timing right for both Mach and Warp. The training really helped.
Julio is thankful and proclaims that, from now on, Ochi Tsukimitsu won’t be able to hold his serve again.
