"The whereabouts of the ball which determine the victor and loser!?"

Today's Wimbledon final between Raphael Nadal and Roger Federer was maybe the best final in that tournament's long history (the classic Borg/McEnroe final of 1980 was possibly better).

Anyways, here's a page from Takeshi Konomi's 'Prince of Tennis' manga. It ran for 379 chapters (42 volumes, which sold over 40 million copies in Japan). There's also been an animated series (178 episodes), a theatrically released animated movie, a live action movie, more than fifteen stage musicals (!), a radio show, numerous video games, etc.

CRAZY.
