New Prince of Tennis Chapters 8 & 9 Recap
It seems that the All-Japan representatives who fought against America in the previous series Prince of Tennis will still be strong candidates in the U17 Selection Camp. The only quite a bit unexpected scenario was the match-up of Yukimura Seichi versus Sanada Genichirou. Although it was pretty obvious that Yukimura will win for the simple fact that we haven't seen much of him as opposed to Sanada, I still think that Sanada's elimination will be reconsidered with a hint on Chapter 9 regarding the coach's reconsideration. I also though Kamio would lose against his former teammate.
Other match-ups are pretty obvious with team captains winning against their former teammates and players who've shown a lot of potential eversince the manga began like Choutarou.
Overall, chapters 8 & 9 took us to a flashback of Rikkai Dai's journey towards becoming two-time champions before losing to Seigaku. Atobe will be the next feature in Chapter 10. I wonder who he will be battling but I think Kabaji Munehiro will be his opponent.
You can read the full chapters here. Enjoy!

Prince of Tennis National Championship Finals: Sanada vs Tezuka
Prince of Tennis National Championship Finals Summary
by Shindo Hikaru
Summit Showdown!
Sanada, Yukimura and Tezuka's past is revealed. Ryoma Echizen is missing and Momoshiro is out there looking for him together with Atobe riding in a helicopter. Sanada and Tezuka battle it out at the Singles 3. Sanada used the following techniques to answer Tezuka:
Swift Like the Wind
Fuu - Wind, Rin - Woods, Ka - Fire, Zan - Mountain
Quiet Like the Forest
Invade Like Fire
Immovable Like a Mountain
Strike Like Lightning
Unpredictable Like a Shadow - Sanada's sealed ultimate techniques that leaves no trace of weakness and gives off multiple behavioral patterns so that opponents would not be able to read his movements.
Fuu - Wind, Rin - Woods, Ka - Fire, In - Shadow, Zan - Mountain, Rai - Lightning
Meanwhile Tezuka used the following in order to answer Sanada:
Tezuka Zone
Hyaku-Ren Jitoku (Pinnacle of Hard Work)
Saiki Kanpatsu no Kiwami (Pinnacle of Great Wisdom)
Zero-Shiki Drop Shot
Tezuka Phantom - Tezuka Zone with an opposite effect
Sanada explained that Hyaku-Ren Shitoku no Kiwami was defeated by Lightning and Saiki Kanpatsu no Kiwami was defeated by Shadow which triggered Tezuka to use the Tezuka Phantom. He used the technique until the end which caused his left arm to sore while Sanada used the Fuu-Rin-Ka-In-Zan-Rai which caused Sanada's legs to sore when he was down 4 to 5 in favor of Tezuka. Atobe, Fuji and Ryuuzaki-sensei both said that Tezuka is sacrificing his left arm again for Seigaku's dreams. Ooishi fell into his knees and began to cry. Yukimura explained to him that for Rikkai Dai to win its third consecutive title, he must stop using his ultimate technique and throw it away for Tezuka to not be able to predict when he will be using Fuu-Rin-Ka-In-Zan-Rai again. However, upon leading the game, he brought it up again to have a head-on challenge against Tezuka because it would be against Rikkai Dai to win without using his sealed technique.
Sanada recalled Rikkai Dai's second consecutive championship win in which he was defeated by Tezuka and told to himself that he won't be able to defeat Tezuka ever. In the end, Sanada won the game 7-5 with Tezuka's shot falling short of the cord ball using his Tezuka Zone.
