Master Hand clared his throat. He looked at the entire audience and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, with 7 mini-courts being created within this stadium, and enough wide-screen projectile screens, we will be able to show you coverage of all the seven tennis matches. The results will come after the 2-Game, 1-Set matches are complete." He then banged on the nearby golden gong. "Now let's get ready for tennis!"

The audience cheered louder than ever as all the 14 competetors appeared on each of their seven courses within the stadium, the Lakitus hovering around the courts, turning on their cameras. For each seperate course, a Miniceratops appeared in the tall chair as the judge.

"Let the seven 1st-Round tennis matches...BEGIN!!" Master Hand announced, and seven tennis balls were released for each seperate course.

The first round of the Dinosaur Land Tennis Tourtament has finally begun.

"First Serve!" Shouted the Miniceratops judge, as Yoshi tossed a tennis ball into the air and served it. Koopa padded it back, and Yoshi ran to the front and padded it back. Koopa did a power shot, and got a point. Yoshi frowned, and he grabbed another ball, padding it. Koopa padded it back, and Yoshi then shot with a speed shot, which Koopa didn't have any time to react.

Peppy tossed his tennis ball into the air, and used a power shot, getting an service ace. Bronto gritted his not-so-sharp teeth as Peppy grabbed another tennis ball and used a power shot on it. Bronto replied with his own power shot, while Peppy spun to the front and padded the ball, which resulted into another point of the yellow Ankylosaurus. Bronto growled and whacked the tennis ball he held at Peppy. Peppy simply padded it back, but Bronto used a speed shot, and managed to get a point. Bronto did a victory cheer while Peppy had his jaw dropped in disbelief.

Dr. Hoshi tossed his tennis ball into the air, and served it at Shy Guy. Shy Guy attempted a pad, but he missed instead, resulting in a point of Dr. Hoshi. He grinend as he served another ball, but the Shy Gu managed to repel with a speed shot. Dr. Hoshi whacked the ball, and the Shy Guy jumped into the air and STRUCK the tennis ball down on Dr. Hoshi's side. Dr. Hoshi ran in and simply padded it back. Shy Guy did a power shot, which made the ball hit Dr. Hoshi in the nose and resulted in a point for Shy Guy. Dr. Hoshi sighed, but he managed to keep his cool, and served another tennis ball, this time with a speed shot. Once again, the Shy Guy attempted to pad it, but was too late as Dr. Hoshi got the score. The Shy Guy dropped his tennis racket and angrily stomped on it while Dr. Hoshi chuckled and served another ball, getting a point again as Shy Guy couldn't pad it back.

Birdo served a speed shot, with Shelia responded with a power shot. Birdo padded the ball back, and Shelia ran up to it, but tripping and falling on her face. Birdo scored a point, and she cheered as she got another tennis ball and served it with a speed shot again. Shelia got up and padded it back, which Birdo also did. Shelia then responded with a power shot, striking Birdo in the stomach, and getting the female yellow Stegosaurus a point for her own. Shelia smiled while Birdo shook her head and sighed, getting another ball and serving a speed shot. Shelia quickly responded with a pad, and Birdo struck with another speed shot, getting a point as the ball went past Shelia.

Boshi smirked as we served the ball and padded it. Chad the Charmander ran closer to the net and served a defensive shot. Boshi ran to the left and responded with a power shot, hitting Chad in the head. Boshi chuckled as he took out another tennis ball and served it, coming closer to CHad. Chad responded with a shot to the air, which Boshi responded with a simple pad. Chad then used a power shot, but Boshi simply padded it back. Chad sighed and padded the ball back, but Boshi swiftly responded with a speed shot, getting another point. Chad cursed and angrily clenched his green mask while Boshi laughed victoriously.

Heppy grabbed a tennis ball and padded it to Ptery. Ptery struck back with a speed shot, which Heppy responded to with a pad, which hit the net. Heppy cursed while Ptery grinned as he got another tennis ball and struck it with a power shot, getting a point as it passed Ptery. Ptery frowned, and he responded with a defensive shot as the ball approached him from a pad of Heppy's tennis racket. Heppy ran closer to the net and did another power shot. Perty used a speed shot, and the ball hit Heppy in the eyes, knocking the purple Ankylosaurus down. Ptery did a victory dance as he scored another point.

Zirdo gulped as Petey Piranha served a power shot to her. Zirdo responded with a simple pad, which petey also responded back with. Zirdo then used a speed shot, which Petey struck back with a power shot, hitting Zirdo in the stomach. Zirdo moaned and whimpered in fright and pain as she got up, holding her stomach with her right hand. Petey then launched another power shot at her, and Zirdo replied with a defensive shot. Petey padded the ball back, which came in shortly. Zirdo ran to it, but was too late as Petey scored a point. Zirdo covered her eyes as she looked down at her feet while Petey did a victory dance. Zirdo growled, and looked back up as Petey struck back with a power shot. Zirdo used a defensive shot, and Petey continued with another power shot. Zirdo then twirled around and used a speed shot, watching in delight as the ball went past Petey. Zirdo cheered while Petey growled and slapped his head with his tennis racket.

After a few minutes, all of the seven matches were completed, and the audience eagerly awaited for the results.

Master Hand cleared his throat and announced loudly to the entire audience, "Game, Set, and Match! We have ourselves seven winners and seven loser!" He then pulled up a results chart, and the results were:

Yoshi: 1 Win, Koopa: 1 Loss

Peppy: 1 Win, Bronto: 1 Loss

Dr. Hoshi: 1 Win, Shy Guy: 1 Loss

Birdo: 1 Loss, Shelia: 1 Win

Boshi: 1 Win, Chad the Charmander: 1 Loss

Heppy: 1 Loss, Ptery: 1 Win

Zirdo: 1 Loss, Petey Piranha: 1 Win

Yoshi, Peppy, Dr. Hoshi, Shelia, Boshi, Ptery, and Petey Piranha all cheered and gave each other high fives (except for Boshi, who folded his arms and chuckled, Petey Piranha, who did a victory dance, and Ptery, who smiled for winning for the first time in his life), while the losers of the 1st Round - Koopa, Bronto, Shy Guy, Birdo, Chad the Charmander, Heppy, and Zirdo - all sighed and frowned as they looked at each other and patted each other on the back, commenting that they at least had a good match.

"Now that Round 1 is finished," Master Hand started again, "We shall have the following contenders to face each other in Round 2!" He said, as the audience cheered loudly, "We'll be right back in ten minutes!" And with that, he swiftly disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

The fourteen contenders looked at each other, smiled and nodded, and all turned to the small black doors as they headed down to the tennis locker rooms.
