Farewell To Our P-Class Warrior

This young man named Rintaro started nearly a beginner and within two years he climbed all the way up to the performance (P) class. Rintaro is best known for his ability to observe the opponents moves and display tremendous feel with the racket especially his drop shots. Not only a good tennis player but a bit of comedian as well. All the very best back in Japan!! We will miss you Rintaro.
