Just when I think I'd get the D09C, FZD brings me back to reality. An edge to end the match? I don't accept it.

Now I seriously suspect Ito asked Hayata to let DN through so that she could beat her down.

...wrongly chosen...

CNT's maid should ditch the BS H3. Utter waste of natural resource.

Hayata: Learning from my idol...

It doesn't end there. Folks in China have to pay for this crap quality. It's fine if they do the transfer properly. But no, these *bleep* just *bleep* grab the *bleep* Laola1 stream and re-stream it, which is subjected to another *bleep* compression.

Ya, guess I pushed NHK too hard. They decided to strike me 3 times in a row on the same day. It was a fun experience, though exhausting at times. I learned a lot during the ride. For the time being, I'll take a break and see how I'll proceed next.

Even the coronavirus is helping LSW...

Just so you know, Hayata is often called by Japanese netizens as 和製丁寧(Japanese-made Ding Ning), which is quite fitting as Hayata's idol is none other than Ding Ning. Ding Ning is also highly regarded and recognized in Japan, partly for the reason that her Chinese name, which means "calm and...

Not too far off.

Interesting post-match interview where Hayata talks about the task/problem/issue of risk and consistency in top-level contests.

Yes, by Japanese standard. Think of Armstrong vinyl tiles where you could wear from top to bottom and it looks and feels the same. ESN has closed the gap in the last decade but still not there yet.

It's a known secret many on the women's team have trouble playing choppers, despite the fact that ABS makes it easier than ever now.

He won't be playing doubles in Tokyo. The pairings should've already told you they're using the doubles for tune-up.

ZYL got a red card for stalling(?) at matchpoint.

I have reason to believe Taipei pulled a fast one on Japan here. The farce was merely a smokescreen.

Anybody still insist XX will play Olympic singles?

At least she's trying a new serve windup.

This is one of those matches where the player is in tip-top shape but performs poorly. FTW is not a veteran for nothing. Knowing she had no chance in the rallies, she turned to the first 5 shots instead, and Hayata fell right into it. Well, onto my idol's revenge match...

Hayata vs FTW 7:6, 7:10, 11:10, 11:11, 12:11(FTW's suicide serve), 12:12, 14:12. Hayata has gotta work on her serve-n-attack. She still drops too many points on her turn. 1:0, 1:2, 2:2, 2:3, 3:3, 4:3, 4:4, 5:4, 6:4, 7:4, 8:4, 8:7, 11:7. 1:0, 1:1, 3:1, TO by FTW. Hayata's shot quality is...
