Thank you handsome @Friss for the RAWs!

Sugi's aura appears behind Mares. His dad's favourite player, the Japanese player that won doubles at Wimbledon: the beautiful Reika Yakusugi.
Sanada asks if the rest saw an old lady, and a scared Kirihara tells him to stop saying weird things.
Mares' flashback: Nanjirou sent him to Japan to meet Sugi. Sugi wonders if he's really a man, since he looks exactly like Atai when she was younger(?). Mares nods and introduces himself as Mares de Colón. Sugi tells him that it doesn't matter, anyway. "Follow me, Marco!".
In the present, Seda tries to hit a volley... but Mares gets to the ball first and scores! 40-30!
Mares has started to play one-man doubles, taking the ball away from his teammate just like Sugi used to do. Nanjirou points out that no one is better than Mares.
Kin notices that Mares is using the White Flame, and it feels like he's fighting against a hare. Right after this, Mares jumps off Seda's shoulders and scores with a smash. Advantage, Spain.
While Kintarou and Mares are playing doubles in a similar manner, the Japanese has a clear disadvantage since he's covering Ohmagari. Now Spain is on set point... but Kintarou is still smiling?
Tooyama thinks about Sugi, how she taught him tennis and handed him the racket he still uses to this day. He's right where he aimed to be all along! His serve is even stronger than before and sends Seda's racket flying... but the ball, despite looking like it was going out at first, starts to bend in. The rainbow aura has returned!
As it's about to land right in the corner, Kintarou hits back... only for Mares to hit a volley at a seemingly empty court... except for the fact that Ohmagari was right there!
Ohmagari's flashback: He was from a small school and never made it to the Nationals, but since he had never lost a match he was invited to the camp. There, he easily lost against Tanegashima and was immediately sent to the mountains. It felt like being hit with a hammer, and grew frustrated at the situation he ended up with.
At the top of the mountain he met Byoudouin, and they bonded because of their strong spirits. Byoudouin had planned to go to Chiba to meet with Ojii, Mifune's master, so Ohmagari decided to remain at the mountain cliff and continue growing with the other losers. He then suggested that, once Byoudouin returned, they all went back to the real camp and challenged the winners.
Byoudouin liked the idea of a revolution and agreed with the plan. He returned from his training as a different person, and the revolution commenced. It was a total success, eliminating not only members from the camp but players who had been selected to be a part of the National Team.
"Next, I'll revolutionise the world. Follow me, Ohmagari Ryuji!"
Ohmagari knows that, despite not having a huge talent, he's still in the finals. He's ready to show Kintarou the spirit of the underdog!

Ohmagari's return scores. Deuce!
Kintarou wonders how Ohmagari came back so quickly, and the latter replies that it's all because he was saved by a hero of justice... though his shoulders are a bit stiff, still.
The Spanish were hoping to win the set before the Japanese's return... Seda then tells Mares to focus on one, he'll take care of the other.
Both teams go on the defensive on a long rally. Ohmagari noticed that Mares cannot hit his strong shots if the ball goes low and fast, so he constantly hits slices at him. As this clearly worked, he instructed Kintarou to do the same.
Seda sees his teammate struggle and... has a flashback.
Every person that Seda ever met had kept themselves at a distance... except for Mares, his sister, he was different. When they met, Mares asked him to play doubles together for longer than a month. Seda rejected it every time. At one point, he told Mares that he couldn't play doubles and that he cared about what people could think if they saw them together. Mares told him that he was proud of how he lived his life, what he did, and what he stood up for, so he couldn't care less about what other people thought.
Mares, then, said that it wouldn't be normal doubles. He was aiming for a doubles where he would constantly compete for the ball with his partner. Seda then admitted that the idea was interesting.
Back in the present, Seda hits a drop shot. This forces Kin to dive and hit a high shot, perfect for Mares' Sniper. The Spanish rep hits his bread-and-butter shot, and Kin's arm is paralysed. This also set up Mares to hit the Smash version of Sniper at the net, Francotirador (literally Sniper in Spanish).
Ohmagari stares thinking there's no way he can reach that shot... but Kin is there, and as Ryoma points out, he plans to return the ball even with a paralysed arm!
Kintarou thinks about Sugi as he hits the ball. He'll be the best player in the world!...
...but then his racket completely breaks.

Kintarou stares at his racket, granny's present and his most prized possession. Spain has just won the second set, 7-5, and the crowd chants expecting a comeback.
As Ohmagari picks up the pieces of the old racket, Kintarou tells him that was the only one he had.
Flashback to Shitenhouji, all members gather money for a present for Kintarou.
-Hitouji is the first to hand 3000 yen.
-Konjiki says he won't attend his comedy show this month in order to afford this.
-Chitose feels bad because: since he lost at the Nationals, Kintarou didn't get to play Echizen.
-Everyone is surprised that Zaizen joined too, but according to him he makes a ton of money with his blogs and videos.
-Koishikawa reflects that Kintarou is finally a Japanese National Team member.
-Kenya says he's the treasure of Shitenhouji.
-Gin says that, with Kin's power, his racket may break at any time.
-Finally, Shiraishi says that this will do in case of an emergency. They'll need to carefully think what kind of player Kintarou will be, and buy him a racket that fits him before departing to Australia.
At the present, Shiraishi hands Kintarou the racket, as a gift from everyone at Shitenhouji.
Seda is about to serve. While Mares thinks that Kintarou will take a while to get used to the new racket and that they should focus their attacks there, the MSer disagrees and thinks he'll adapt immediately... and he's right, as Kintarou return-aces him. They then admit that Kintarou is out of the ordinary.
Kintarou is really happy noticing that the speed and power of his returns have dramatically increased and that the racket feels extremely light. Nanjirou then notices that, since Tooyama always used a heavy racket, Sugi perhaps intentionally held him back this way to train him.
Somehow, both teams do manage to keep their serves, and the score is now 2-2. At first sight, it may seem as if Kintarou is dominating, and at full throttle, but Ryoga points out that Seda, the troublemaker, has started to make the most out of Mares' tennis.
Both teams attack head-on. The Japanese feel lucky that they are still in this together.
