■The semi-final, scheduled for the fifth match at Kinoshita Group Arena, was moved to the Colosseum due to the cancellation of the final match at the colosseum. At the colosseum, packed with spectators, he faced veteran Sanada, who also competed at the Paris Paralympics. "I was so excited.”

■Perhaps Oda's excitement made him a bit stiff in the early stages of the match, as he made noticeable mistakes. However, he gradually improved his form, and in the end, defeated his opponent, ranked 12th in the world in a one-sided match, demonstrating the power of a Paralympic gold medalist. At match point, he pushed back hard to return Sanada's lob and caught it near the fence. When Sanada returned it with a strong shot, he hit it back with his backhand and won the match. Oda was met with a huge cheer of "Woah!". "It was so much fun. When I got to the arena, they asked me which one I preferred, the colosseum or the arena. Obviously, I answered the colosseum. It was unexpected." Oda's voice was cheerful even at the press conference after the match.

■His opponent in the final will be Gustavo Fernandez (Argentina). It will be a repeat of the semi-finals at the Paris Paralympics. Oda won the Paris match 6-2, 7-5, but he is focused, saying, "You never know who's going to win unless you really go for it. I want to concentrate from the beginning.” He also expresses his confidence, saying, “From the Paralympics, I have a good image of getting aces on the returns and winning rallies.” He concludes "It will be a better match than today. I think a lot of spectators will come, so I'm looking forward to it.”
