give a break to Hirano. You've all noticed her knee. Its been there for weeks.
Thats why she played in 3 in the final, to avoid 2 matches and maximize her chance of winning that match.
its tough for him... he had 3 match points in G4 at 10-7 and was playing superbly at the time
His losses to FZD in Tokyo OG SF and to Dima in the Bronze Medal match are painful memories
Very little celebration for Miwa and the Japanese team ?
yes its not the Olympics, nor the World Champs, but still ! its the Asian champs ! its almost as good !
biggest mystery today
Mima will be given a chance to redeem herself for 4 years of bad performance with this one match if Miwa loses
but odds are thin even WYD will ALSO almost be in a similar situation (relatively speaking)
in G1 , i could see SYS missing some heavy underspin balls from Mima like she did against India. she probably had some bad memories from yesterday. But after G1 she was too confident and it was soon over
oh no... bad luck for Mima, she did play well G1 , was behind almost all game, but managed to be 10-9 ahead but didn't convert and lost 10-12 with SYS a bit lucky at 10-10
