The eighth episode of "New Prince of Tennis U-17 WORLD CUP SEMIFINAL," a sequel to the TV anime "New Prince of Tennis U-17 WORLD CUP," based on Konomi Takeshi's popular tennis manga "New Prince of Tennis," entitled "Spain Representative, Echizen Ryoga," will be broadcast on TV Tokyo and other networks on November 20th.
In another block of the semifinals, America's representative Ralph is being pushed into a corner by Ryoga, who now represents Spain, in a one-sided match. Ryoga's technique is to "devour the tennis ability of his opponent." Ryoga weakens Ralph's tennis, and Spain advances to the finals. The D1 (doubles swan) match between Japan and Germany, between the Kirihara & Tanegashima pair and the Bismarck & Siegfried pair, begins.
