Lily Zhang vs. Gu Yuting live now on table 1. Game 1 Lily had several game points but lost 16-18. Game 2 Lily was up 6-1, lost 7-11.

OK, Lily lost 0-4 but played well being able to mostly keep up with CNT speed and consistency. Good future for her, no need to retire just yet

Good effort, but there will be no Cinderella story for Lily this tournament. GYT's shot quality was just too much for Lily. Lily can produce some amazing rallies, but GYT was in control of most of the points.

Hina Hayata vs. Liu Weishan on table 14. *Sigh*.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

From what i saw from Lily's recent matches is that her rally abilities, especially her BH are top-class but her serve/receive game is way below the top player's. She has to improve there if she wants to get to the next level

 

[Sali]

I think everybody now from main draw is praying not to face Wang Yidi in first round

 

[karupinkun]

harimoto / niwa double was a great feat! One cant play doubles and the other chasing idols instead of playing tabletennis the last couple of months

 

[zeio]

Define Niwa and Ishikawa in one letter.

U, for useless.

Yea, Gao Jun mentions that as well in the latest interview with ITTF.

Miyu Kato destroyed in game 3 vs. Miyuu Kihara. Now down 0-3.

Miyu Kato destroyed in game 3 vs. Miyuu Kihara. Now down 0-3.

Kihara is very talented young player. I think in 3-4 years she will be one of the top 3 japanese players.

 

[zeio]

G7, 2:2, 4:2, 5:3, 7:3, 7:5, 11:5.

It's been a while since the last time Hayata won in G7.

 

[zeio]

G5, 10:5, 11:9.

Yoshimura could become the 3rd player.

 

[Vlad Celler]

G7, 2:2, 4:2, 5:3, 7:3, 7:5, 11:5.

It's been a while since the last time Hayata won in G7.

And it is this fact that pleases me the most ..... Hina Hayata - with all my heart I congratulate you and good luck tomorrow, just a little luck .....

 

[karupinkun]

I take bets where Hayata get drawn to in the bracket. For sure not in spot 1-8. My bet would be 10-14

 

[Vlad Celler]

Doo, he,cxt ?


(I can imagine with what excitement Hina Hayata is waiting for the results of the seeding .....)

 

[zeio]

In a way, this has proven to be an invaluable year for Hayata. She's got to play so many CNT players, practically from the core members to the sparring partners.

Also, Ojio caught my eyes roughly 2 years ago. She turned 14 roughly 3 months ago. Could become like Sato and Hashimoto and perhaps achieve more.

Poor Miyu Nagasaki. Beats a CNT player (Sun Mingyang), is up 3-0 on Chen Szu-Yu, but loses the next 4 games. ZYL breathing a sigh of relief.

Ishikawa: Please draw CXT, Hayata...
