That was unfortunately too easy after the first game. First game gave a lot of hope too...

Yeah Diaz got smoked in game 3….

Same kind of match as the last time they played: 9,5,3 -> 10,6,2

The stories are beginning to have too predictable endings again... someone needs to upset the apple cart!

Odo/Yokoi 3 - 0 SYB/JJH. Firepower from Odo/Yokoi just too much for JJH to keep pace.

Sakamoto girls are too strong and JJH must be injured still?

After G2, WH told LGY he was the one who lost all the points by forcing shots after shots but he still kept at it (Dumb Hayata should take note). Told him to switch up his serves and receives and let Jorgic loop to his content (and he ended up being 7:2 down in G3 LOL before the TO which got him to 7:5 and then Jorgic called his own).

Yay, Jorgic finally wins against a top lefty, and a CNT one at that!

JJH is in half-retirement mode (more interested in live streaming on TikTok/Douyin than playing). SYB is probably still recuperating.

What is this? Free stream in youtube not available in Finland. Why? Behind the paywall of some streaming service here, I guess.

It's that way in most countries for the major WTT events, see here. VPN to UK/NL works for youtube.

What a big win & comeback for Dang, thought he gave it away after LYJ got to match point first with 4 in a row, that was nervewracking

Lin Gaoyuan comfortably defeated by Darko, great win for him.

LG seems to be really struggling, he needs to spend less time in the barbers and more time in the training hall imo.

It must have been tough for Hayata to lose in front of her home crowd in Kitakyushu. She didn't look like she fully recovered from her injury and I think she might have rushed her recovery to be able to make the event... Sadly for her, it didn't work out in her favor. Szocs played a good game though, so congrats to her for this victory!

On another note, I'm really bummed for not being able to watch this event live... I was living in Fukuoka for the last 7 months and I just came back to Italy, only a few days before the start of the finals! What a crappy timing on my part!

Hayata was hard to watch. Her arm / elbow is obviously not ready for competition yet. I guess she just played for the competition points or because the tournament is held in japan.

Forhand was somewhat fine, but she couldnt play one backhand topspin, counterspin or banana with her backhand

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Yeah, it's obvious Hina has not fully healed. Hard to say no though when the WTT Finals is in your hometown. She has some time off now so I'm hoping she heals 100%.

Congratulations to the guys from Singapore on such a confident victory !!!

Tomokazu´s game is still developing. I never saw him step around so much and with great quality. Especially for the first attack and as a combination after a hard backhand hit.
