  2. Japan Open 2017

    another day, another defeat for ISHIKAWA against a Chinese player... 1-4 as usual... she lacks that extra bit of power... she was agressive and tried her best (risky) combos but too many errors, and after the 1st set the Chinese player could get back those attacks which became a bit too...

    Kasumi ISHIKAWA now playing WANG Manyu, she got the first set but the Chinese girl is ahead in the 2nd Ishikawa lost the 2nd and 3rd set rather easily. in the 4th she was down 7-10 but saved two set points with style, WANG called Timeout, but Ishikawa made a strong 3rd attack that she had...

  12. Japan Open 2017

    well I had the match only on the background. The score shown by ITTF was wrong at the time. CHEN Ke is winning. She's got the 3 sets to 0 lead. The 3rd set was a 14-12 deuce where the Japanese had some chance to win this set. 4th set is deuce 11-11 now, HAMAMOTO was leading 8-3
  13. Japan Open 2017

    she's a bit older, 20 I think. She is already a member of the JNT, i think she played at the World Team TT last year. Among the young Japanese, she is one of the more athletic, taller than the others. But she is not as consistent the the very best ones. Her strokes have the potential of being...
