WYD was 6-0 vs. Adriana prior to today. They had a close one at the 2023 Champions Macao with WYD winning 3-2,11-8. Adriana had fallen off the rankings (WR#22), but this should give her a ton of confidence.
She played the way someone who is taking their best chances exactly should play. Took some risk to disrupt Wang's game and the probabilities worked out in her favor. Of course. Wang's inconsistency will be a part of the discussion but I think anyone watching the match would be very impressed with what Diaz actually did.

Hmmm.. I know what you mean but I don't think many would agree with how you describe it - I have had similar arguments with people comparing Quadri's forehand to Truls's forehand. What I like about Oh's game is that he moves more than his father does, but he has the same ball control instincts and incredible anticipation.

Who is his father?

Oh’s fh is just way stronger than Togami (his physique too). I was thoroughly impressed. It felt like Togami was trying to catch up the entire time.
Oh’s FH is one of the most beautiful FH’s that I saw in the last years.

no forehand Harimoto is no good
Like most of the times…always too late, except the last several months. Then there was some progress. Looks there was something wrong with him.

I think it was after /during the last match with Wang. Ever since then he has gone back to his old game and has been slow again, even at the last tournament before this. He can beat some people playing that way but not the best or tactically aware Asians. Hopefully he will heal enough soon to continue his progress.

He meant what he said and I think there is justification for his position even though there is clear and strong grounds for disagreement.
Well I'm talking about what was on display in this specific match not their forehands overall. I'd be curious to hear any analysis on how Oh dominating on the forehand side was the story of this match in particular.
