Huge win for Sakura Yokoi 3-2 over SXY !

She almost bottled it too, should not have gone 5.

Great day for the Japanese women. The only Japanese woman not making it through was Miyuu Kihara, and that's because she was playing a compatriot, Saki Shibata. Two Chinese women were ousted by Japan: Zong Geman by Hitomi Sato and SXY by Sakura Yokoi. But Chen Yi and Kuai Man are through to the next round.

Togami (12) 2-3 HYZ (8, 7, -7, -9, -9)
H for hopeless. Despite his determination, Togami is unfixable...

 

[NextLevel]

Togami short game being exploited again... but more seriously, is Togami the new Lin Gaoyuan or is Huang the new Liang Jingkun?

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

wow... what a comeback

 

[Walalang]

Damn, another 0-2 to 3-2 comeback by Huang Youzheng. He's improving fast

 

[fore.n.back]

MS R32
Togami (12) 2-3 HYZ (8, 7, -7, -9, -9)
N for no hope. Despite his determination, Togami is unfixable...

That 9-8 point at the 5th set was too reckless, instead of trying to slow block Huang's shot to the backhand, Togami just had to moved in and try to punch it down, this guy still doesn't know how and when to defend

户上输给了黄油 (Togami lost to Butter)

卡罗兰特 这个日乓二号除了会打张本，其他的一流外协一个都碰瓷不了，现在连黄油都打不过了，打个团体赛二单各种输，一分都凑不上。
洛杉矶松岛替换掉他是大概率的

(Besides knowing how to beat Harimoto, this Japanese #2 can't compete with any of the other top-tier foreign players. Now he can't even beat Butter, and in team events, he lost left and right as the 2nd singles player, failing to even score a single point.
It's highly likely that Matsushima will replace him for LA28)

(Togami's form actually improved before and after the WTTC, but after being swept by KOR Oh at the ATTC, he returned to his old ways.)

(My assessment of Togami's playing style: His game is very rough, and is brave but reckless)

Nice spot about Fei and Harimoto. I didn't realise he had won their last TWO encounters so convincingly. I will be watching out for it 👍

Sometimes, the gods do answer our prayers!

Xue Fei vs Harimoto!

Xue Fei (Joker): You complete me.... where would I be without you.... I need you...
Harimoto(Batman): You have bad De-Zyres. Time to show you that crime doesn't pay...

He was injured when I last heard. Unfortunately, Tony has not been around to give us any insider updates on Team Taiwan.

但高承睿的腿傷復元狀況卻不如預期，原本只是右腳受傷，現在卻連左腿也拉傷，還無法練球，只能進行一些簡單的肌力訓練，所以只好放棄排名資格賽。

隨著高承睿退賽，也意味著他將失去明年的國手資格，等於無法參加名古屋亞運，高承睿雖覺得可惜，但現階段當務之急還是盡快讓身體恢復健康。

He hasn't featured in Germany either so I suspect it isn't purely about failing to make the national team.
