* Takeshi Konomi himself is so aware of this that he actually ''parodied'' the trope in canon. [[Mistaken for Gay|Just watch Yuuji and Koharu.]]
** And one of the biggest wank sources in the fandom? How the fan-made [[Aloof Big Brother|Tezuka]] x [[Stepford Smiler|Fuji]] couple got quite ''more'' fanservice in ''both'' manga and anime than other couples. {{spoiler|Three-episodes anime match [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|chock full of typically shoujo symbolism]], like [[Cherry Blossoms]] and [[Together Umbrella]]? Check. Said match finished by Tezuka and Fuji practically hugging and smiling? Check. Manga match between Fuji and Niou where he sees Niou ''as Tezuka''? Check. Fuji kinda flirting with Tezuka after the finals? Check. Tezuka ''smiling'' at Fuji and asking him to not tell anybody? Check. Inui saying Tezuka's "so naive" in a tone that sounds almost like he's [[Shipper Onon Deck|their fanboy]]? Check.}}
** The image songs make some duets sound just So. So. GAY. Inui and Yanagi's duet is all about them being reunited after years and planning to take over the world together, in example. Makes some sense in the context of both being the [[Genius Bruiser]] type, but ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|still]]''...
** Oishi and Kikumaru are another popular slash pairing because they play doubles together. They obviously care for each other as partners and it can easily be interperted as a romantic relationship. Same goes for Ohtori and Shishido, also Niou and Yagyuu.
