  5. Japan Top 12 and WTTC 2019 Trial, 3/2-3

  8. Japan Top 12 and WTTC 2019 Trial, 3/2-3

    actually there still could be a Deus ex Machina if Sato has a (diplomatic) injury or illness, I think it is still time for JNT to be allowed to call another player. Wouldn't that be convenient ? Not very likely, but in Japan, group always come first. so if the staff is 100% convinced this is...

  11. What kind of playstyle you are more/less effective to play against?

    generally speaking, i'm more effective against weaker players, and less effective against better players, whatever their style LOL I feel I am rather good in rallies, and my weakness relative to my overall level is my own serve game, although i can of course be struggling on receives as well...

  18. Any tips on dealing with dead balls?

    dead balls are actually easy to play, but the main reason for missing that, is that - well they're dead - so the timing is different, and you have to adapt your footwork.
