Just retire, Ishikawa.

7:7, 2 games apiece. DN got 2 points off her tomahawk serve. Got 2 more at the start of 6th game. 2 more at 2:2. She's using that serve exclusively now and it works wonder. Count the points she got in 6th game alone and tell me that's not effective.

Excerpt from the interview after Team World Cup 2018 by magazine Table Tennis World ML - Most impressive opponent? ...I have always felt that Pitchford of England has a unique game. I played him at the Rio Olympics. It was very tight in the last two games. I was behind and it was awkward...
