In Doubles 1, Saeki and Itsuki teamed up against Fuji Shuusuke and Kikumaru Eiji. While Saeki and Itsuki initially have the upper hand due to Saeki's motion vision being able to mark Kikumaru's acrobatics, Eiji manages to duplicate himself and Rokkaku loses 3-6.  
In singles 3, Aoi got Kaidou Kaoru as opponent. While he seems to lose at first, dropping 4 games, he quickly makes a comeback with his pressure tennis style and manages to turn the tables, before ultimately losing 7-5 after running out of stamina.

Saeki appears first after Aoi mistook Echizen Ryoma helping Ojii for bullying an old man, appearing from an alley. When the mistake was cleared up, they invited them to go to Rokkaku's school grounds, where they fraternized. To hone his dynamic vision, Saeki practiced kendo.  
While Aoi's position remains the same as singles 3, he instead plays Echizen Ryoma instead of Kaidou Kaoru. His playstyle is changed to the point that he can hit accurately at one corner, and his racket has hexagonal strings which gives him more power. Nevertheless, he still lost. In the anime he is shown to be a very loud person, as Echizen Ryoma remarked.  


==Playstyle==
==Playstyle==
Aoi Kentarou is an agressive baseliner, whose tactic relies on losing the first points on purpose, so he can make a comeback under the pressure. His pressure playstyle allows him to draw upon his 'hidden strength'. Due to his shortness, he's bad at the net, as was focused on in 'Higa vs Rokkaku'.
Saeki is an all rounder.


===[[Cord Ball]]===
===Kinetic vision===
Aoi's signature move is the cordball, which he can hit when he's under extreme pressure. He hits it from the baseline and as it skims the net, it usually drops before the opponent can react.
Saeki's personal skill is "Mark", where he marks his opponents using his superior kinetic vision.

Saeki Kojirou (佐伯虎次郎(さえきこじろう)) is a 3rd year student at Rokkaku Middle School. He's the vice-captain of the tennis club, and is the most popular guy at Rokkaku.

Appearance

In the manga, Saeki's hair ranges from dirty blonde to light brown, with brown eyes. In the anime, his hair is grey-silver, with black undertones. He also has dark blue eyes that light up when he uses his motion vision. In the video games, his hair is beige and sometimes platinum blonde. In the trading card game it's blonde. In the musicals it's dark brown.

Personality

Aoi Kentarou seems like he can’t stay calm and gets carried away easily because of his energetic behaviour, but actually he’s a patient and hardworking guy who knows how to take responsibility for his team.

He is good at complimenting others and making friends, but secretely believes that he's the best, although this side doesn't come out often. He tends to overestimate himself, because of that hidden pride, which led to his defeat by Kaidou eventually. He is shown to not be ambitious or conceited but genuinely curious when it comes to wanting to beat strong opponents.

Aoi has also been called a pressure junkie [1] in reference to his tendency to let his mental pressure build up so he can concentrate better and in general perform better. This part isn't only restricted to tennis, it also shows in various other activities, like grilling Yakiniku and gathering clams.

Another aspect of his personality is his longing to become popular, mostly with girls. He seems to be unsuccessful though. [2]
