Actually, it was recently reported that the CNT is in the midst of selecting the final 5 players – from a pool of 23 comprising names like Wang Chuqin (yeah apparently still in the game but clearly fell out of the core team for now), Yan An, Fang Bo, Sun Wen etc. – to make up the Marvellous 12...

Ito was MVP of entire match. LSW was stable but hasty at times to finish the point. XX was slightly off-form at the start. Mizutani played above his usual standards IMO but not enough to carry. But this Mizutani/Ito pair might not make the Olympics with Koki in Singles. Will probably get Maharu...

Lol at that awkward handshake between LSW and ZJK.

Feels like... Korean Open Finals happening again!

ML and LJK - table hoarders causing this major overtime.

The one hotly discussed in this thread and NextLevel's favourite empirical example... Z...J...K...!

Harimoto might need to go talk to LSW on how to get over this psychologically-scarring loss.

But I remain skeptical if WYD can handle Ito's variations, particularly since she flails so badly against choppers who try to dish out different spin variations for a living.

Lol but she's still living in the shadow of LSW who holds the title of three back-to-back WTGF gold.

Lol LSW ran out of gas towards the end. I guess LSW vs Ito continues to elude us.

LSW and CM both deliberating if they wanna risk their Olympics chances by taking on Ito lol. Although CM has like almost 10 nets favouring her??

Maybe JNT is now regretting opening up two singles slots for Olympics haha. It seems the trio of Ito, Nagasaki & Kihara might be the real deal.

I see, though that makes little sense to me. Maybe it's time for ML to bring his Beijing backhand serves out. That's textbook visible right hah.

Omg how can ML's challenge be unsuccessful? The point of contact was very visible from the replay.

South Korea?

He did say XD is the priority for this tournament. In one of the recent interviews for STIGA, XX also spoke rather favourably of ZZH, saying that the latter just need more confidence and plays like a modern penholder.

CNT: But Sato is not going to the Olympics so we will still send DN.

DN looks like she can collapse at any moment.

To be fair to Ishikawa, she had a better mentality/attitude towards this match than LSW (too hasty and impatient). Sad thing is, a LSW who made many mistakes is still above a performing Ishikawa.

37 more points to go. ITTF wants to see your head as a stool. Lol so many nets for ishikawa.
