Acceptable results for the Harimoto sibling. They have been playing non-stop for over 1 month, flying across the most time zones, from the T.League (no Ito so no excuse) before China Smash 2024 and then both team and individual events at ATTC 2024 (even core CNT players fell left and right at...

Too many nets and edges for Felix. Harimoto pushed his shots in G3 after easing in G2, but that's where the experience gap between him and LSD showed, he managed to adjust in G4. Not easy to get that done when you're so far behind and playing against the homecrowd.

A little convenient to forget how bad she lost to Batra at ATTC 2024. Nervousness was a factor but as I noted, she peaked at the wrong time. I remember WCT said in an interview some time after getting World Cup 2016 bronze that he failed to peak for Rio 2016.

Yup. Fatigue was a definite factor for Harimoto's loss but the way she pushed herself in G3 and went her out of breath in G4 tells me her game still needs more polishing. This final against Odo shows the same problem. It's bo7 and she still pushed herself in G4 when she should've regrouped...

Too many nets and edges for Odo. Harimoto pushed really hard (honestly too hard) in G4 that she was catching breath. Turning to the reverse pendulum after the poor start in G5 shows she knew she had to stop. You can only push supercompensation so much. F Harimoto 2-4 Odo (-4, 9, 9, -11, -7, -4)

LSD's absolute territory got sealed in the same manner as in the MS F match against Harimoto at ATTC 2024.

Harimoto gave a textbook demonstration of 扛住 in G5. Endure Duda's wrath and wait it out. And his trademark blink from his junior days is back. That's a dangerous sign.

Now, that's meaner than telling her to retire. Jonny Cowan: You handled her like an amateur tonight. (The interpreter followed standard protocol and skipped that part.) 【インタビュー】黄金世代連破の大藤沙月 伊藤美誠を破って準決勝進出「作戦は頭に入っていた。向かって行くだけだった」｜WTTチャンピオンズモンペリエ2024 [url...

Exactly what I warned about. Now she doesn't even know when she can return and perhaps she won't be able to play anymore. There is this thing called "compensation pattern." https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/paris-olympic-games-2024.34358/post-471420...

For JPN? Have a look of the Olympic Charter. Per Rule 6, Hayata did it all for herself. https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/International-Olympic-Committee/IOC-Publications/EN-Olympic-Charter.pdf

Was wondering yesterday what ZYL was up to.

Yes, way longer than she expected. She thought it would only take her 2 or 3 weeks to recover but it's been more than 2 months now.

Her ATTC 2024 WS silver (3-1 Chen Xingtong) also puts her just behind Hirano's ATTC 2017 gold. Heck, I'd even rank DHK's bronze here (3-2 Shi Xunyao, 1st win) higher than Ito's bronze and Hayata's ATTC 2021 gold.

If she were alone, then maybe not, but Hirano was always there as a companion. As some 5ch users point out from time to time, the golden generation originally referred to just Hirano and Ito. Hirano's debut in major events was actually even earlier than that of Ito, at the Asian Games 2014...

Another instance in which one can clearly "hear" the edge but both players think the ball drifted long. [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/xindsvE4blE?t=51[/url] @うんぽころこ-r8f 5 hours ago 伊藤、勝った時と負けた時で最後の握手の差がすごくて草 (Ito, the difference in the final handshake between when you win and when you lose...

3rd time is the charm (or 11th if counting domestic encounters).

Jiang Jialiang retired at 25 and Deng Yaping at 24. Zhang Yining and Li Xiaoxia have also said on video record a few years ago that Ito would peak and then drop off around that age. There is a reason CNT ditched the short-pips style. p.s. While we are at it, that's why I wrote that Hirano...

Harimoto has cut down on his use of the chiquita from 6:10 down in the 5th against Kallberg and it continues here against Franziska. He is walking the talk for real and learning from his losses.

Read my post again. LYJ should have it better with WCQ and Harimoto worse. The reality? LYJ has 3 wins only against WCQ versus 2 for Harimoto. Harimoto is up 3W1L against LSD whereas LYJ is 0W4L. Lastly, the winning percentage on their own serves paints a different picture.

A very ugly loss and revelation. Solid proof that Ito goes deeper into the draw more often than Hirano just because of her WR. Her tricks that got Odo at ATTC 2024 2 weeks ago failed miserably here. Like Hirano, Ito tried in G1, and changed it up in G2 but still was forced to give up...
