If Ito plays at this level consistently, CNT will no doubt be in trouble for years to come. Only 3 players have ever won 3 titles and Ito is the 1st one to do it twice in a row.

Kihara's coach wasted the TO at 11:10 and hence the game. But anyway, very intense game 1. Kihara had 2 game points but Ito saved them. Kihara came up short after saving 3 game points. Ito has the upper hand when push comes to shove. 3 back-to-back titles in the bag? Not so fast! Ito...

I can't wait for a repeat of WTTC New Delhi in 1987 at the upcoming WTTC in Hungary. Practically everyone got the stomach flu.

In game 1 only, though.

Mizutani was telling the truth. He doesn't like playing against lefties.

Mizutani's face.

What better way to win the game than an ace? Harimoto missed two serving at 8:8. Harimoto totally shut out in game 2. Returning the favor in game 3. Huge comeback for Oshima after trailing 4:8 in game 4. Kept serving long to Harimoto's deep BH to prevent the chiquita. TO at 8:6 didn't...

Kihara played like an 18-year-old, despite being 14 only. Silenced loud af Sakura Mori after dropping game 1. Amazing consistency in adjusting her play on the fly.

Ito VS Hayata The poorest opening imaginable for Hayata in game 1, with Ito winning the next 8 points after a 2:0 lead. Closed the gap but still dropping 7:11. Game 2 was tight and IMHO was vital to Hayata. Despite all that, Ito still tested a new serve but sent it right into net and Hayata...

LGY, shorthand for deja vu.

Utter domination. Ito wasted multiple championship points. Shibata doing her best to keep themselves in. 2 back-to-back titles(XD, WD) in the bag for Ito now.

Painful upset.

This marks the 1st time in 12 years that Ishikawa fails to make the QF. Whatever the case, it's about time for Hayata to step up. Li Sun actually commented at the ATTC 2017 that the CNT viewed Hayata as having the most potential.

Yup, Yuuki Matsumoto. WD Final up next.

MD "Final" It was all Harimoto's effort in winning game 1. Weirdest high 5. Haritmoto was shorter than Kizukuri not just long ago.

Live now... Absolutely destroyed.

The match against Tazoe was nothing. It was the previous round against Ryotaro Ogata where Harimoto was down 1:6 in game 7 that had people on the edge.

Only One Outcome: REVENGE
