As Takkyu predicted 4:1 to LSW. Ishikawa lacks the firepower to tackle CNT. Had expectations from Hirano but she too was blown away by DN.

Hirano needs more variety in her game, she has only plan A, which works against most players, but not the Chinese. But she will get it. and lets not forget DING Ning may be the GOAT. Even LIU Shiwen and the other CNT members can't really win against her when it matters, LI Xiaoxia used to , but she's retired and had been overcome for a while.

So, probably HIRANO needs 1 or 2 more years to get stronger, and then I think she will beat all the Chinese. Even DING Ning, if only because she'll get older.

The injuries of Zhang Jike are such a shame. It is great for the sport with ZJK going far in the events, it will increase the fan engagement to. What injury is it ZJK suffering from exactly does anyone know?
Based on the ttd member's description of his alleged excessive interaction with fan girlz, that might cause one to wonder if he is repeadedly getting a penile fracture...

NIWA is a showman. When he was told the ITTF stream was down, he wasn't interested in winning anymore
and he was wearing a Tshirt supporting LGL, that was this match was censored ...
