And whoever wants to kill the point. Harimoto tried various means and still came up short on multiple match points due to spin quality. Will probably take another year or two.
Another way to lure misses is probably the slower timing of European players. Got her many points but she didn't try...
WS QF
Harimoto (5) 3-4 CXT (3) (9, 11, -3, -10, -9, -15)
G4 69 TO for CXT, 99, 910, 1010, 1012
Another confirmation of CXT's tendency to play safe. 李大成/Li Dacheng told CXT during the TO to up the shot quality and kill the point when there's an opening and send a kick serve to Harimoto's BH.
G5...
MS QF
F. Lebrun (5) 2-4 Harimoto (3) (5, -4, -5, 4, -9, -9)
Both are going through technical changes, where it's due to physical factors for the former, and philosophical factors for the latter. Painful times for both here.
Other than the one above, the other 3 QFs were rematches of WTTC 2025.

Catching up on Uda's wins over LYJ and Moregard at China Smash 2025.
In an interview with 成都商报谈资/Chengdu Commercial Daily Tanzi, Uda revealed that Qiu Jianxin started coaching him back in 5/2025. His style has started changing and his form has also improved a lot as well. He further added...
Looks like Hirano has been chilling after CTTSL 2025.

"...won (the race to) match (point)..."
JWJ has match "game" first this time, unlike the last.
MS QF
Moregard (4) 1-4 JWJ (-5, -7, 9, -3, -10)
G4 08, 38, 311
G5 41, 42, 52, 53, 83, 84, 94, 98 big net for Moregard and JWJ saved it but still lost the point, 108, 1012
True to what Harimoto said...
WS QF
WMY (1) 3-4 HY (-6, 4, -7, 10, -4, 8, -6)
Looks like her arm and lower back are a factor.

Table Tennis Kingdom reports similarly on WMY's lower back and right shoulder, referring to her as "Ace of Glass"...

The backstory of Tamara Boros, former WR2 and a European player that posed substantial threat to the CNT in the early 2000s, is a little complicated. See her documentary in the MyTT link below...
Right. Look no further than South Korean players that have a tradition of producing upsets handing out 4 defeats in 8 encounters to Felix in 2025.
Both single-wing and double-wing styles command technical and physical abilities. It's just that single-wing directs both into the FH and footwork...
At all levels, whenever a player knows how to exploit AND is capable of taking advantage of the inherent weaknesses of the old-school styles.
It's just that those meeting both qualities are more spread out and hence appear few and far between at the lower levels. As you go up in levels, they...
Well, I have a soft spot for Pucar ever since his loss to Niwa at WTTC 2019 and ML named him specifically.
Pucar 0-6 LYJ
Calderano 1-4 LYJ
Ovtcharov 4-7 LYJ
