Reporter Inoue and Saori Shiba, who were also sitting in the audience, met everyone from Seigaku and sat side by side.

Inoue looked at the crowded stadium with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Even if it's an international friendship competition, a competition among junior high school students, it's a bit too exaggerated to be like this, right?"

As a reporter who has personally interviewed Baker, Shiba Saori was not surprised at all. "I think with Richard Baker's style, it is very likely that he could do something on such a large scale."

A guy who talks about money, performance and traffic all the time!!

Houchotaro sat between Jiro and Meido, "At the press conference, the blond player who made the remarks to Senior Jingguang and Echizen, Kevin, will also be present, right?"

Meido Ryou nodded, "Of course, that guy is the captain of the West Coast Youth Team. I wonder if he will run into Kagemitsu, or maybe Atobe. That guy likes to be the last to appear, doesn't he?"

Mukaito shook his head to show that he didn't know. "But I heard that the list of players for this competition was decided by Coach Sakaki. Atobe and the others didn't know about it."

Jiro Akutagawa didn't sleep either, but looked at the court excitedly, "What kind of lineup will they use to play? I'm really curious~ Hehe~"

Houchotaro looked expectant. "It will definitely be an exciting match. Seniors Yukimura, Atobe, Kagemitsu, Oshitari, Fuji, and Sanada are all well-known figures in the tennis world of Kanto and even the entire junior high school."

I just don't know how they will be matched together.

On the other side, the Qingxue people were also discussing.

Oishi Shuichiro turned around and looked at Senior Inoue behind him and asked, "Mr. Inoue, have you heard anything?"

"I heard that the lineup will not be announced until before the game."

"ah??"

Everyone looked shocked.

Is this how you play?!

Half an hour later, the athletes from both countries, led by their coaches, left the lounge and headed to the competition channel.

"It's finally about to begin~" said Fuji Shusuke with a smile.

"Yeah." Ryoma Echizen, who was standing next to him, lowered the brim of his hat and said.

At the entrance for the Japanese players, the staff waved and said loudly,

"Then let's begin the entrance. Contestants, please prepare to enter."

"OK."

Sakaki Taro responded to the staff, then turned around to face everyone and nodded.

The eight contestants present nodded in response, saying nothing more.

Captain Kevin, who was standing on the far right side opposite the net, stared fiercely at Ryoma Echizen and Kagemitsu Atobe, repeatedly.

"Terry, here~ look at me~"

"Tom, you are so handsome~"

Kikumaru Eiji asked curiously, "Wow~ What's going on? It seems like there are a lot of people cheering?"

"I didn't expect that they have fans."

"Just like an idol star,"

"They are so handsome, no wonder women's weeklies and teen magazines love to interview them,"

Mr. Inoue obviously knew more. He explained to everyone, "Of course, it's not enough to mention the strength. We also have to have a firm grasp of the contestants' personalities and charms, and then promote the contestants based on these characteristics. This is what the father of stars, Richard Baker, has always done."

In front of the VIP seats,

Mr. Nakamura led the sponsors to sit down, and then stood at the front steps. "Today, please watch carefully what kind of tennis will the American West Coast Youth Team, who are known as the rising stars of the tennis world, show you."

Facing the crowd with a smile, he said, "After this competition, we will hold a press conference for the major companies that have been scheduled to sponsor them in the future. I hope you will come and support us then."
