After defeating Miyagawa, Eichiro returns to STC for some training that will make him better in 1 day. Eichiro is teamed up with a Coach Mike from Florida who specializes in pyschological training. Mike is envious of Eichiro'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. Eichiro 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 Eichiro. 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. Eichiro is confused by this and wonders how someone can draw pictures while playing.
