Ito 4-3 Yamamuro Saya (-7, -6, 6, 6, -7, 11, 5)
G6 109, 1011, 1111 dead net for Ito, 1311
G7 42, 43, 83, 84, 94, 95, 115
Ito escaped by the skin of her teeth. Her win streak against choppers may come to an end in the near future.

Sato 4-0 Hirano (3, 4, 6, 8)
2604
Hashimoto 0-4 Odo (-3, -6, -5, -7)
2605
Ito 1-4 Yokoi (-7, 11, -3, -7, -4)
G5 06, 16 TO for Yokoi, 46, 47 TO for Ito, 411
2607
Kaneyoshi Yuuka 0-4 Nagasaki (-5, -5, -3, -8)
Nagasaki arguably plays choppers even better than Ito. I think she was down 0:5 and won 10 or 11 points in a row in G2 and then she was up 6:0 or 7:0 in G3.

I wouldn't consider Sato in R6 and Hayata in quarters a good draw. I'll be pleasantly surprised if she makes the semis.
I actually thought Hirano had a high probability of beating Sato in R6, but boy was I wrong.

Mima Ito is being dominated right now by Yokoi
Ps it’s over 1-4

Odo crushed Hashimoto
When she's locked in, that backhand of Sakura Yokoi is one of the prettiest and at the same time devastating shots in the women's game. She wants back in on the National Team.

Tanigaki has a deceptive pendulum serve, giving Togami a really hard time.

Yeh not sure why but it’s working. 4-2 G6 11-6 Tanigaki takes it and it’s largely 1-way match

How did Hirano get pummeled so badly by Sato.

Did you watch Sato at the Star Contender? Zhu Yuling was the only one that gave her a match. You have to be in form to play Sato and Hashimoto.

I did not see this coming, but Sato is now the best modern defender in the world. I hope Honoka finds her best form, and that they will pair up in doubles a lot more!

I would still put Honoka, who beat Zhu Yuling 4-0, ahead of Hitomi, but both are great.
