LYZ 2-3 SXN (-7, 9, 9, -9, -13)
G5 72, 73, 83, 87, 97, 98, 108 dead net for LYZ, 1011, 1111, 1112, 1312, 1315
Inexperienced vs Experienced.

Very tight LJK group. If LJK wins against Dima he need to have a PW/L of 2 more than dima as their current ratio is that LJK is only behind on PW/L by 1.8 points.

So there is a chance that even if LJK wins he will not go through unless he does well in PW/L

ZJ 3-1 Bergstrom (7, -12, 5 8)

The outlook for choppers looks a little grim, with LA28 still over 2 years away.

Polcanova 3-0 Jocelyn Lam (2, 2, 3)

I miss the lighthearted dialog from last year.

I can understand Cantonese but I still don’t understand what they were asking Leong to do. Something about the Tibhar Logo on the back of her pants needed to be covered? But why?

LJK just keeps sliding.
Some of the results he has had are very surprising, especially considering how well he was playing just 2 yrs ago and also the quality of opposition/training partners he has.
It leads me to conclude he has lost his hunger for it and is very close to finished right now

 

[joshmak10]

Ruiboooooo! That match vs Ouaiche prolly the most entertaining I've ever seen!

My GOAT WCQ doing well against Ionescu too, but what on earth is happening with LJK? At this point, send Chen Yuanyu to London lol

 

[Lando]

Was so sad watching Kanak lose. He seemed to hit the net on so many points.

Franziska 3-1 Kawakami (-7, 11, 8, 9)
This is what Matsushima should've been a few years back...

LJK please retire

You mean "Please go play MLTT"? 😂

You mean "Please go play MLTT"? 😂

God i would love to see how that goes down especially as he is so upset prone

The points won't matter, it's game win rate first and they won't land on the same one.

Dima is the only 2nd seed with an advantage though thanks to Cifuentes.

With a 3-1 for LJK he is at 5-4 and Dima at 4-4, with a 3-2 for LJK it's 5-5 for him losing out to 5-4

nice one for Darko

Hayata 1-3 Qin Yuxuan (-8, -5, 5, -9)

Something wrong with Hayata's FH after 2:0 of G4. Time bomb (1, 2, 3) going off.

Kaufmann: My left ankle...

It could've gone the other way if not for Hayata having more nets and edges throughout...

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Hina unable to rally with QYX. For some reason she didn't change her serve after QYX repeatedly got the advantage with the chiquita. Only in the final game did she use the BH serve (and it was effective). But it was too late by then.

 

[zeio]

So many nets and edges with this Ownwin seamless ball.

JWJ 3-1 Uda (-5, 10, 7, 9)
G2 70, 78, 98, 910, 1210
It still came down to the difference in coaching as told by Mizutani and Tanaka, besides the handling of shot selection.
