"It was really difficult after 0:3. Thinking I had nothing to lose, I then gave it all I had. I felt I had a chance after 3:3, so I began looking for some good angles to induce errors continuously from the opponent," said Ito after the match.
Kurashima said the key to Harimoto's breakthrough on Ma Long, the "absolute king", was to use clever high-toss serves to induce frequent errors. He revealed that the idea of this tactics started with the Qatar Open. “He came up to me and said he wanted to work on this new serve. Now that it really worked in real life, he has the advantage with a variety of serves.” Kurashima emphasized that in the future it must be guarded against the Chinese team’s thorough study of Harimoto’s game. “So his skills and strength must go a step further. Otherwise, if he maintains the status quo, he will certainly not be able to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics."
