sora faulted on first serve of the match. Umpire said inside the end line. My first time seeing TTR being used at these Worlds - nothing shown on video screen and no suspenseful music (which is understandable in a multi-table setting), it seems
(Edit: the result was later shown on screen, at least on the stream)

If Sora doesn't pick his ahh up, Japan is not winning this match
Not just Matsushima, JNT men have always had this poor habit of losing track of their surroundings, always CHN, CHN, CHN. JNT women used to suffer from that several years back.

These are the show tables, so it makes sense they have TTR. Even tennis tournaments with very very few exceptions don't have hawkeye on every table.

At last, I’d say. My pleas have been heard. This is the second time I’ve seen TTR award a point for this. Now we just need to see this applied to many others.

GER 3-2 JPN
M1 QD 3-0 Matsushima (12, 3, 3)
M2 Duda 2-3 Harimoto (-4, 10, -8, 8, -5)
M3 Togami 2-3 Franziska (5, -1, -9, 5, -5)
M4 QD 3-0 Harimoto (9, 9, 10)
M5 Duda 3-1 Matsushima (5, -6, 8, 7)

Such a memorable 19th-birthday present.

Now, the prospect for LA 2028 for the 3 of the golden generation is pretty dim. Therefore, the argument about age is no excuse for not playing up to expectations, especially when Matsushima is using the resources/influence of the Harimoto siblings. Once again, there is no guarantee that Matsushima will definitely improve far beyond his current self at 21 and 25 when he displays world-weariness at 17.

didn't watch because i didn't know how to get the stream from JNT matches (from which country can you watch with WTT stream ?)

but what a shitty result. I can understand QD is on fire, but losing 3-11 twice? wtf is Sora doing ? and beaten quite hard by Duda....

fortunately its only a group match with little consequence. and its better to lose now and receive a huge warning. maybe this defeat will turn out to be a celestial gift. (coping)

huge consequences, it is the only way to confidently avoid getting seeded in the same half of the draw as China.

In Spain you can watch the WTT stream on yt, it's strange it can't be watched it in other countries

When I saw how Sora won the 2nd I thought he was taking the match... But Duda played really well in the last games

France should beat GER, so if JPN beats FRA, they can still finish 1st of the group in a 3-way tie

but i root for FRA of course !

Can watch in the US, it is probably Japan protecting their streaming rights, nothing special.

Fine, Duda is underrated, lol. Let's focus on only the results that support zeio who is having a fairly good day mocking his usual targets.
Duda is just doing his thing. Like Boll, it's become a recent German tradition that their men play better in team events.

The issue here is still Matsushima's mentality getting exposed now that he is in the spotlight, something that Harimoto has also not completely solved since WTTC 2018.
