Non Surprise winner of Mainichi Tennis Tournement

[Steve Bildermann]

In a truly remarkable display of power, speed and sheer aggressive play their Imperial Majesties Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, the supreme rulers of Japan won the Mainichi tennis tournament held here in Tokyo this week.

Even more remarkable was the identical score by which they won all their games 6-0 6-0 6-0 their opponents failing to even gain one point.

Interviewed later his Imperial Majesty Emperor Akihito noted that he regularly bested all the palace staff, the imperial household and every visiting dignitary. His unbeaten streak of 40 years remains safe. I'm just too good for them he added
