What was the medical emergency for? With this victory, Doo > Top 3 Chinese Players or it shows the extremely high risk game of Ito's play?
I don't think Mima Ito can keep up her consistency from last week for the whole tournament this week.
I'm not sure either. From Ito's recent interview, her game is specifically tweaked/adapted against CNT players. She is trying to adopt a high-risk game to induce errors from her opponent while keeping own down, since CNT players don't make unforced errors if she plays safe. That's a double-edge sword, as we've witnessed here.
FZD loses first set then turns on the afterburners. My goodness that was a destruction after that.
Shane about Ito but her game will blow hot and cold due to her style.
But Samsonov is great grandfather & Boll grandad gen .Others can be considered getting old.The older generation is falling: ma long, samsonov, freitas, mizutani. Boll is last hope but seems also going to loose.
To be fair, DHK has the best wide forehand game I have seen vs Ito.
Boll pulling his old tricks again
I heard an interview where he said that he stopped practising because it caused a lot of injuries and now he just want to play for fun.In recent interview interview Boll said that he has one workout per day. I assume 2 hours. Pretty amazing how he can stay in this physical shape
