Summary:
The series is primarily set in Tokyo, and centers around Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prodigy who attends Seishun Academy or Seigaku (青学?) for short, a private school famous for its strong tennis club and talented players. Ryoma quickly defeats numerous upperclassmen shortly after entrance to secure himself a spot as one of the team's regulars. In pursuit of their ultimate goal of winning the National Middle School Tennis Championship, members of the team make new friends while learning and mastering increasingly complex techniques. Ryoma also begins to develop his own style of tennis, and eventually realizes what the sport really means to him.
My review:
Anime is about friendship, how to never give up, to chase your dream or sometimes finding another, to always aim high because there are no bounders. "Fly high and Sky high" as one of the opening songs is saying. It is very inspiring. Loved it. It is very funny and even if you are not really into sports anime genre I'd recommend to give it a try. Prince of Tennis or PoT as fans call it is one of those anime I want to watch over and over again.

Highly recommended
