So far, Hayata surviving a dangerous opponent.

Interesting comments from Harimoto - maybe with a different scoring format, the comebacks in game 2 and game 3 may not have happened.

She is young and has played and trained TT as a full time student all her life. The pro life is her dream and she is living it right now, not in rush to grow up and go crazy after playing a good match.

The back up books also specify things like visibility throughout the toss and height and angles and vertical extension of net posts etc. I know you like Odo, but this ball hiding needs to stop. Maybe they can get back to just visibility at contact because of TTR but the reality is that the...

Diaz has a nasty backhand serve - she is so used to illegal tosses on her forehand serves she has to serve backhand to remain legal and serve aggressively.

Took them long enough but they got it right. All these ball hiding servers need to be cast out into open like roaches and rats under flashlights.

These reviews are crazy, Diaz is clearly hiding the ball with her head, and they are reviewing the toss height - seriously?

The rule as written argues for visibility regardless of angle. But players have pushed back against this forever and you obviously support them. I don't.

Surpass complete.

She hides her serve, that's not even controversial. Any camera angle will show that.

Haha - Han Ying getting the service faults on Odo lol...

I was about to say that Shinozuka has clearly surpassed Uda - then the end of game 2 happened... so I might have to wait to be sure of it...

The rules were originally written in the context of 3 or 4 person groups when you could have 2 wins and 1 loss or 1 win and 2 losses and tie with other people. The first tie breaker is head to head results determined by match (well those are usually tied when 3 players have 1 win and 2 losses...

Han Ying: I have beaten members of the male national German team in practice. Odo: I practiced vs Hashimoto - you are slow to me.

They said Groth was through last year too. But he knew better just like Wang Yidi knew better. She would have celebrated if she was through.

It's so sad that ittf creates this confusing format and doesn't make sure the commentators fully understand it. Because even the standings will show the wrong results like it did last year for Groth and Harimoto.

Because they didn't follow what happened last year with Groth and Harimoto, unless the rules have changed for this year.

Even if she wins the next two games, she has a 5-5 tie with YJN and the tie breaker is head to head games and points, so she is done.

It would have depended on the points in the match , Harimoto has won the first two games at plus 5, with no deuces so at a minimum, HYZ needed plus 6 with no deuces. If they had a perfect tie, thr likely Harimoto's edge against Elbeiali would havr seen him prevail.

That was heart stealing right there!
