Congrats to Togami and Shinozuka. I was skeptical they could win the final but they proved me wrong.

 

[NextLevel]

Oh congrats to Sun Yingsha as well, I thought Wang Manyu would get her again in the final but boy was i wrong. Wang showed her strength but Sun matched it and surpassed it at the critical moments.

Wang Hao job is on the line tonight.

Wang Hao had to coach Fan Zhendong to win Olympic Gold and now he has to coach Wang Chuqin to win the World Championships. His experience in winning 2009 is now necessary.

Alright, let's do this! Time for Hugo to make history!

 

[banbekas]

OOT but what happened to Liu Dingshuo? I thought he was a better player than WCQ back then and he'd be the future main man of CNT.

 

[Robin0910]

Deja vu

 

[travelt123]

I want Hugo to win but don't underestimate WCQ's ability to stay stable under massive pressure in World Championships against foreigners. Remember, he had to win crucial matches 5th game matches in team events for China and only lost to Fan Zhendong in Singles throughout his run.

 

[banbekas]

Losing the first set is bad for Hugo. First set is always crucial to impose your game.

 

[Robin0910]

WCQ is unplayable he’s playing so well

 

[JackJohnson]

I don’t think Hugo is winning this time.

 

[banbekas]

WCQ is unplayable he’s playing so well

His confidence is surging because he took that crucial first game.

 

[d3nium]

WCQ in beast mode. I can't see anything but a 4-0

 

[baotran]

Hugo lost focus in first set is just an evidence for his tiredness. Hard to win against Wang now.

 

[banbekas]

Whatever the end score is, I have prophesized it long ago. I am now a prophet, lol.

 

[Robin0910]

There always are crazy points when Hugo plays but man this point at 4-8 in the third set

 

[quanghuysk]

Hugo needs to keep up with short game and his chance will come

WCQ in beast mode. I can't see anything but a 4-0

It's a good job I'm not a betting man 😅

 

[Persistence TT]

Hugo lost focus in first set is just an evidence for his tiredness. Hard to win against Wang now.

He literally gave the set away to WCQ, two very hasty backhands went out and he made more unforced errors

He has to realize that he has nothing to be jealous or fear against the chinese. His performance lately proved that with the current chinese pot of players his playing level is equal. A few polishes maybe and he is good to go

 

[NextLevel]

I think Wang though is handling those first three balls consistently better so Hugo will have to work harder to stay in this.
