Li Ching's sideline coaching saved game 4. And they don't speak Cantonese in Taiwan! So handy! Li Ching: Sweet! Li Ching: 1st class! Li Ching: Beautiful loop! TO by TPE at 2:5... Li Ching: So strong! 2:6...4:6...5:6, TO by HKG 6:6...7:6...7:7...7:8...8:8...8:9...9:9...9:10...9:11...

So many 7-gamers here in Linz. Boll was beat after 10:7...

German tank keeps on marching forward.

Li Ho Ching, Ng Wing Nam and Doo Hoi Kem were brought up by Li Huifen(Seoul 1988 WS silver medalist) who used to be a penhold shortpips fast attack player. That helps against Ito's style.

XX: I eat curry for breakfast.

I'm not sure either. From Ito's recent interview, her game is specifically tweaked/adapted against CNT players. She is trying to adopt a high-risk game to induce errors from her opponent while keeping own down, since CNT players don't make unforced errors if she plays safe. That's a...

Li Ching: 啱喇！！(That's it!!) Li Ching: 一流呀！！(1st class!!) Li Ching: 心平呀！！(Keep a level head!!)

ZYL made it out alive.

Table 1, 3 and 4 are overrunning...feels like the WTTC.

Hirano still blacks out at times, losing 5 in a row after 6:7 in game 4. She's stubborn here, still jumping over the edge knowing full well it's a dead end. ZYL is still recovering from the shock, struggling at the moment against a chopper that she'd have breezed through otherwise.

In case someone at ITTF is following this thread, the audio for Table 2 feed is like a second behind the video.

Seeing the JTTA has published the criteria at the start of the year, where the 2 highest world-ranked players will play in singles, and Ishikawa is as high as she has ranked now at World No. 3, and the mixed pair is selected from the 3 men and 3 women players, I wonder how they feel about the...

How ironic Japan is turning into China to prohibit falling in love with your classmate.

Exactly what happened at Korea Open led to his boycott.

Ya, I mixed him up with FZD and LGY. They needed 2 stops. ML showed up even injured most likely because of the penalty policy. Late cancellation gets you a "forced 0 points" in your best 8 results. https://d3mjm6zw6cr45s.cloudfront.net/2018/01/WR_penalties_2018.pdf...

CNT members losing at the Open is not that unusual. They haven't really been that focused on the Tour, though that's changing now. But still, it's the majors that count.

Yes, it does. He needed these 2 stops to qualify for the grand finals, and he does now.

Mizutani coming back strong from 1:3 deficit against Walther. Went to deuce in game 4.

Poor Hayata, she's turning into Ishikawa during the crucial moments. Held a 2-point lead at 5:3, and 6:4... It's all but confirmed now Hirano and Ito have this interesting quality/ability, where they actually play better when trailing and harden up(often described as "awakening" in Japan) when...
