Australian Open 2019 [Platinum]

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

tournament already over for Hayata 8=(

 

[Michal_Z]

Looks like neither Hayata nor her trainer knows what to do ....

Just cut down unforced errors..
Hayata played wayy too many too ambicious shots that ended nowhere..

 

[zeio]

The problem with Hayata right now is the same for Ito and Hirano - focus.

They all lose their focus when having a comfortable lead. Hayata led 8:4 in game 5 and as usual her mind drifted, probably thinking about game 6 already. She recovered in time to take it 11:9, but the momentum already shifted back to Li Jiayi.

They're too used to playing catch-up, and so they play better when falling behind. That has gotta change. They have to get rid of that mentality. They look lost and often self-destruct when leading.

 

[Michal_Z]

Two penholders on table 3!
One "from" Germany ;-)

 

[Janard]

Someone must have cursed Hayata to face Chinese players all the time. But Li Jiayi is really only Tier 2/3 in the CNT so, hmm.

 

[zeio]

Yet, they took Hayata so seriously by having Li Sun in the seat.

 

[Michal_Z]

Sathiyan roars due to his victory over chinese Xiang Peng, when he took the game 4 20:18 and won 4:1 after taking 11:8 game 5.. NICE!

 

[Loopadoop]

Charlotte Carey Wales, a bit of a blond dark dark dark horse, exited early also.

 

[zeio]

You know how hard it's to beat China when a 26-year-old and roars like Harimoto after taking out a 16-year-old.

 

[Michal_Z]

Darko Jorgic doing well so far 11:9 in the first over Ma Te!
And the chinese Dang Qiu representing Germany doing well against Zheng Peifeng, 2:1 lead!

 

[Vlad Celler]

It's a shame not so much that Hayata lost now ...
Li Chiayi in this tournament will play two more, well, three games .... And will disappear again from the international arena for a long time ....
However, this is more likely a victory of the Chinese coach over the coach Hayata here .....

 

[Michal_Z]

Wov Jorgic easily 4:1 over Ma Te.. Very uncommon he used BH spin for most of the table, dealing with the backspin better with the BH than with FH
Peifeng beat Dang 4:2, too bad, Dang could win there..
Samsonov 1:3 down to Seungmin..

 

[JesperStef]

Darko Jorgic doing well so far 11:9 in the first over Ma Te!
And the chinese Dang Qiu representing Germany doing well against Zheng Peifeng, 2:1 lead!

Dang is actually BORN in Germany, son of coach Qiu Jianxin (known for working with the JNT - especially with Mizutani but now he’s apparently coaching Ishikawa as well).

Is it just me or is the audio really bad?

JPN v CHN matchups for Preliminary Round 3

Nagasaki Miyu v. Zhang Qiang
Hashimoto Honoka v. Mu Zi
Kato Miyu v. Qian Tianyi

Zeng Jian v. Hamamoto Yui (just kidding)

I wonder how many will make it out alive.

 

[laistrogian]

JNT left Jin Ueda hanging to dry, he didnt have coach for 2 sets

Meanwhile Pitchford is coaching Groth while Flore is coaching Robinot

That's normal. He's playing in this Open on his own expense.

Heck, the chinese head coach was watching upstairs as well watching.

Baba was also watching upstairs

 

[Michal_Z]

Pištej got the first game of Xue Fei!

 

[laistrogian]

Is he still part of the JNT anymore?
