[Tennis]Ayumu Yanokawa of Lucent Athlete Works wins the “Brain ATHLETE Tennis Tournament.Vol.2”! | Lucent Co., Ltd. press release

After the first-round and second-round matches, Yanogawa said, “I was able to enjoy myself and play my own way.” In the second set of the third round, I had an accident that caused both of my legs to cramp up, but I managed to come out victorious. In the semi-finals that followed, they struggled against their opponent’s serve and volley, but were able to win points at important moments.
In the final match, when my opponent was starting to improve, I rushed my attack and made a series of mistakes, but when things started to slow down, I made a series of serves and regained my composure. He continued on that path and won, placing him at the top of the 32 players who participated in the tournament.

After the match, he expressed his joy at the victory, saying, “I’m happy to have won.I’m glad I was able to improve my serve rate and play.”

Yanokawa will continue to practice further in preparation for the 39th Japan Tennis League (First Stage), which he is scheduled to participate in from December 5th. Please look forward to the success of the Lucent Athlete Works team, including Yanokawa.

At Lucent, we support our athlete employees who give their all to both work and sports. In addition, Lucent’s “Mid-term Management Plan 2024-2028”, which we announced to everyone on December 18, 2023, the parent company Showa Holdings Co., Ltd., the Japanese sweets manufacturing sibling company “Asukano”, and the industrial rubber manufacturing sibling company “Showa Rubber” same As stated in the “Medium-term Management Plan 2024-2028” announced on the 1st, hiring such athlete staff is an important way for the Group to maintain its competitive advantage in human resources employment in Japan, where there will continue to be a labor shortage. I think it’s a construction.
