I thought QTY was going to pull it off against WYD, but she loses 3-2,13-11. Always seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough, but can't quite do it. Nonetheless, she's got Contender Taiyuan next week to look forward to.
Odo solved the Szocs problem from Fukuoka. Now she has a bigger task with ZYL who's been beating up the JNT. ZYL's anticipation seems to be as good if not better than when she was on the CNT. Her active blocking skills are sublime so Odo is going to have to find the angles and force her to move. Odo does seems to get better each time she plays someone (vs. Szocs and vs. SYS, for example) so hopefully she can break through here.
But the big matchup I'm looking forward to is the battle of the young stars Miwa vs. KM. KM is 2-0 H2H, but it's been a while (2023 Contender Zagreb).
In Men's Singles, looking forward to wild card, Sora Matsushima, take on one of the most skilled and smartest players, LYJ.
