    And so, Hayata will finish the year with the impressive and consistent record of taking at least 2 games against anyone. Yup, anyone.
  4. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Zhang Cheng is to blame for the defeat here. Matsuzaki called TO in G2 when Ito trailed at 6:7. That was a good call as Ito needed that game. Hirano then had match point at 10:8. Zhang Cheng should've called TO at 10:9. He didn't and Ito had all the momentum after that. It was a lost cause...
