"I didn't let it hit you in the face." He says. The vaguely!evil streak in Yukimura makes me giggle so much! It borders on being playful and blunt all at once and just showing off to Sanada like that amuses me. And it is a good point he makes there. :D
"I'm sorry..." Yukimura says coldly, "Did you just say that defeat was acceptable?" This is Yukimura. And to me, Yukimura has always been Rikkai. This is what philosophy he has toward everything, especially tennis. Defeat is not acceptable - "we will always win" as compared to "we will never lose" (there is a difference, even if it's slight, and not just in the wording, but in the way you hold those promises true) not to Yukimura, and he believes it should apply to the rest of the team. I love the way you write him.
"Even if I was calm about it, it wouldn't make you lose it." Sanada says almost sulkily. It makes Yukimura smile a little, despite everything. Sanada! A sulky child. Yukimura always calm even when he's facing the scary and unknown. It's beautiful and it shows them so well. Sanada, afraid for his captain and friend and the team and Yukimura, trying to being strong for everyone. I started crying there. :/

And now for the other lines I dug up. Which are, surprisingly, Fuji/Tezuka lines :D
It is the first time he sees Fuji's dark, secret smile. There's someting abou this that sent shivers down my spine, even rereading it. The promise of what is to come, the darkness between the two of them.
It is that fact that makes Fuji ten times more mysterious and compelling in comparison... I love the reasons why Tezuka is drawn to Fuji and this is just one of them. He's not boring or an open book, and people have to dig at him to figure him out.
One hand draws you closer, and the other pushes you on from behind. Actually it's that entire paragraph but I'll settle for this. It's a dance between them, pulling and pushing and neverending because there are so many depths to them both.
And another Yukimura line: It involves crossing a line he had never considered crossing before, but the decision is as easy as taking in breath. Okay I have to admit I kind of weep for it not being Yanagi (for there to not even be any hints!) but I love this line. It says so much about their relationship, how easy, how natural it is for them. Even if Sanada is oblivious to Yukimura.
Sometimes, the lightest of touches from Fuji can cause the most delicious pain This is just beautiful. It. I can't even find words for it. It sent shivers down my spine too. It's another facet of their relationship - and I love that it's Tezuka who is the one thinking that.
he did not stop their match because there was a selfish want inside him that knew Echizen just might be able to pull out Fuji's greatness, and he wanted to see it Hehehehe, Tezuka and wanting to see Fuji's greatness and everything. I love that fact.
The endings of both last sections were so beautiful. Yukimura promising Nationals, Fuji contemplating how they'd grow and change together. It's so touching, in ways that shouldn't be touching, but are. I loved it. And although the SanaYuki sections were my favorites, I loved the Tezuka/Fuji ones too. It's all so wonderfully done.
