These 1800 Japanese players are really tough.

It looks like that because it isn't extremely powerful on most shots but if you take a slightly different perspective and look at where his points come from, you might see it differently. Qiu Dang wins a lot of points of blocks and backhand counters, but Chen actually likes to open over the...

Agreed. I would argue that his forehand is actually extremely high level and his backhand is adequate. Just not powerful. But his spin level is tremendous especially on forehand.

How old is Kuo now?

Yes, but it isn't so much the aggression (Darko is not even that aggressive, he is also very much into control despite his bomba backhands and third balls, and neither is LJK who just spins the ball but takes advantage of his physical ability to do it with more quality than most) as in that Tomo...

Overwhelming Harimoto with power is not something most mortals can sustain, the people who can do it (WCQ, Hugo). And he reads spin to well for Gauzy's variations to work. It's just a bad matchup for Gauzy, he can't play with enough placement and precision at high speeds to make it work for a...

Miyu needs a pivot movement on serve that would have made the match an easy 3-0.

The umpire is useless...

Well Miyu has to do a better job of not Xunyao go full power forehand. That's why she is always going long to the backhand. She knows she will usually get a chance to launch the forehand.

Nagasaki's ball striking is so picture perfect. Makes you wonder why she doesnt have 3 world championship titles already lol. She has already made Butterfly take more of my money. Miwa, Tomo, learn from Miyu how to use your blade lol.

Togami felt sorry for him lol...

I watched the match highlights and his problem was that Robles plays the exact same style as him lol. Huang likes to overwhelm you with slow spinny attacks with spin drives mixed in and Robles is a specialist with the same style. In the beginning, Huang had the upper hand and a big lead in...

Be nice, he turned 22 today. Wish him Happy Birthday at least before repeating the same old stuff...

It's crazy that Yang Haeun is only 31. I think she came to Philly for 2016 Women's World Cup.

How did Robles beat Huang lol?

Togamii excited that Harimoto is in the next round lol... bringing his A game....

He needs 09c, @TensorBackhand has spoken!

Well watching the Harimoto play against Lim and Shin tampered my enthusiasm for the blade a bit lol.

Andre is box office, he is easily the most exciting German player to watch with his mobility and physicality. Here's hoping it translates into a very long career...

Yeah, he and his sister have growing pains as but I wonder who will pick up the forehand slack.
