Many sports anime follow the route of starting a story with the main character from being a bad player to being the ace of their sport. But in the case of Tennis no Ouji-sama (The Prince of Tennis), the main character started as a prodigy player but got forced to push the limit even after being the best player. It left the fans of the series to wonder how the character will progress even after being the best of best. Using this kind of route helped Tennis no Ouji-sama become more popular among fans who started watching the anime in the early 2000s. While it has a unique story, the show also uses other regular shounen elements like friendship and expected victory of the main character, which is not bad in general as anime is not supposed to be like real life.
