They already showed they were ready in Singapore. That said, if Hariboy had bought the same sense of urgency to game 1 and 2 that he brought to game 3 and 4, he would have had a chance but his ball placement is sometimes too inaccurate.

It seems Miwa handled critical moments pretty well, winning the last set 16-14!!

It wasn't as obvious before, but Paranang has beefed up her physique in the past 2 years.

Hayata 3-2 Paranang
G1 50, 56, 66, 67, 87, 811
G2 10, 15 slight net for Paranang, 16, 26, 27 that FH flick receive totally blinded Hayata, 28, 68 TO for Paranang, 69, 109, 1011, 1311

She was playing someone she was supposed to beat, no? Isn’t only China supposed to matter lol?

Hayata falling apart...

 

[NextLevel]

That is how you fix a capsizing ship lol.

 

[NextLevel]

Paranang is playing precision high risk table tennis and it is working. Hayata is struggling massively to return her serves tightly.

 

[NextLevel]

Paranang couldn't keep it going though to be fair, Hayata also started containing the angle of play better. Nice match, hopefully we will see more like that.

Harimoto needs to train a BH loopkill against underspin. All the point patterns where he loses dramatically are basically ppl pushing long to his BH to invite his slow weak opening loop, and then counterloop it with heavy af spin to get the advantage in the rally.

I remember that he used to have a really early timing BH fast opening loop which drove everyone nuts when he first started out coz it was taken so early. But now he waits, but it is always a weak slow ball.... just why???!!!

There's no guaranty. Zhu had been a good player btw

Jang Woojin just lost to the young upcoming Feng from chinese Taipei.
this tournament is full of upsets already

 

[piligrim]

They should also have a rule (for world events) in doubles & mixed doubles that only one of the two players can be from Asia or Europe (& cannot be made of 1 European & 1 Aaian players). And both players on a team cannot be top 10 or maybe top 20 ranked

Also they shouldn't be from same planet

 

[NextLevel]

They will invite Noshad to Superleague lol...

 

[Janard]

Wow the point from 8-5 to 8-6 in G5.

Wow the point from 8-5 to 8-6 in G5.

You aren't going to see better matches than that often

CNT: Wanna play?
Alamiyan: Yip(s)!

 

[longle]

Alamiyan vs WCQ is the best match till now, that Iranian guy's insane BH can match both WCQ's 2 wings

 

[TTLOVE]

Noshad Alamiyan has an incredible touch and playstyle, just imagine if he had a decent forehand.
Probably the best serve, receive and block in the world.

The Alamyian brothers bring the heat the first few games. Will be interesting to see how Nima plays HYZ after he took OJS so close
