Part of the reason. Ito has mentioned how she would observe her opponent during the interval to pick up clues.

That should be obvious.

Table Tennis Kingdom picked it up today. They also speculate it is the work of Liu Yanjun.

The Japanese crowd is very reserved when it comes to that. I miss those bam bams at the WTTC 2014.

Courtesy game granted.

Welcome to the club.

Wallpaper quality.

Shout requrest: "Please retire, Ishikawa!"

Harimoto got overwhelmed by his nerve. His BH absolutely short out after game 3? Nonetheless, he opens with the diagonal chiquita to the wide FH much more frequently now. Got him so many points.

Tons of misses from Harimoto's BH. He gets more points using his FH. TO by FZD at 9:8, 9:9, FZD misses a lot on the FH, 11:9, Harimoto missed 2 BH chiquita in a row.

He was leading but was visually nervous. Same thing for FZD. Both are nervous af. I would've taken a TO at 6:4 or 6:5 when Harimoto still had the lead. Same script for game 4. Leading early on and then blowing it. TO at 6:7 by Harimoto. Too late in my opinion.

Harimoto having a hard time with his BH here. Nice long reverse pendulum at 7:8. The next one at 8:10 went long. FZD 2-1.

FZD is having serious trouble handling Harimoto's FH.

Harimoto vs FZD. 11:6. Harimoto has the upper hand on FH? WTF? 4:7, 5:7, 6:10, 6:11. FZD fares better on BH, mostly due to Harimoto's misses.

Game 6, 10:5, 10:8, 11:8. That's why ZYL doesn't get to play singles at this WTTC. OTOH, this is the best showing I've seen from Hirano in a good while.

Nice swatting by Hirano at 6:10.
