if i'm being honest, Sora gave me the biggest ick amongst pro tt players nowadays, absolutely no killer intent and fighting spirit. He has been like this not only in this match but in other matches in the past especially doubles

Togami started to handle his backhand serve a bit better and Jorgic got impatient, his hot head cost him the match

Props to Togami, this is his 1st win over Jorgic right?

1st set holding 1 game point, 3rd set holding 2 game point and still can't convert is normal Togami behavior now. Watching his match is fun but painful, yes he's improving but he has to work smarter, don't just try to bam bam the opponent

man, the best forehand in japanese tt history, too bad this dude had to grow in a backhand-favored system

he can't, his forehand is just too big of a loophole, thus he mostly relies on his bh to score, the same can be said for Yoshiyama. These bh-oriented type players are only dangerous in pace and placement, once their opponent adapt to their pace they'll start losing their advantage quickly. Uda...

Shinozuka, Tanaka and Yoshiyama all gone after 1st round lmao what is wrong with them?

Her WTT path is comprehensive, choosing the Feeder series as a training ground to build consistency, then fight the Contender to get experience with higher level player, then back to Feeder to train.

At these moment it'd be great if Togami can lend Harimoto his forehand

Watching Harimoto vs Anton, his forehand although improved still look strained and awkward, but there's a certain threat to it. While Togami dishes out attacks on both wings none other JPN men can but you still don't feel like he has the upper hand on the opponent. Harimoto is like a skilled...

nah, it's the old Togami for the whole match, three first set he started overwhelmingly with at least a 3-4 point lead but then just get out of steam by the later stage (2 set point in 1st, a set point in the 3rd and a 9-5 lead in the 2nd). Luckily his rally skill was sharp today so we had a...

Out of all CNT fandom that blew up recently in Vietnam, those "Shatou" fandom is dead annoying and ignorant. I actually like WMY/LGY cp fans and especially Fan ZD fandom, much more lenient and informative.

there's just not much to say about the game, Cho got trapped in Togami's rhythm but Togami were lucky that his success rate were just enough to overcome his errors. Almost no attemp in close table push, just reckless attacks from start until the end. I think next year Harimoto might have a 3rd...

Beside Harimoto can alternate between blocks and counter which makes Lin unable to increase the pace as he wish to. This was the same case we've seen when he's dealing with Fan ZD, but Fan was able to overcome by pivoting while Lin can't. Trying to rally like Togami and he'll push Lin out to his...

Rewatching the match, it seems that this level of Togami is on par with his 3-1 win in their last encounter, but what have changed is LSD has learn to defend better and to slow the pace down when needed, which in turn invite Togami to make more mistakes. If he could learn to vary his pace rather...

He had a lot of of 5 set matches in this tournament, I think it partly improve his strategic thinking

nah, dumb ahh Taiwan coach can't even take off his hat to see the flow of the match. It's clear that in set 3 and 4 Wang's ball quality has risen and the original strategy of suppresing the back then go for the forehand kill doens't work any more. He should've called TO for Lin at 10-8 but dude...

this is the best Miwa I've ever seen, I hope she can fight steadily in this last 5th set

Japan is just barely breathing against Korea, all those year teaching your youngs to play fast backhand now their forehand is helpless

one crucial detail I noticed from Ri and Ham Yu Song, they lack a clear snapping action of the forearm which prevents them to have an advantage during short countertopspin exchanges. They overhit a lot of forehand loops from Alan and Kiril
