Togami played Alexis Lebrun in July I believe (or late June) and missed all those lobs. So clearly he did his homework. Which means there may be hope for him.

Togami was on his way to saying I adapted.... then Alexis showed up... Togami still falling in love with his power and needs to keep enough quality spin to control the point without letting Alexis in. I don't envy Togami if this goes to 2-2.

And if Togami and Shinozuka show up in singles?

Harimoto raised his level but it didn't matter. Felix seals the match pretty much. He has to learn to cut off angles and take a step back. You can't hold the table with that level of speed on the other side. Harimoto can play like Fan a bit more, he just needs to practice.

This end of the table Felix is on after the switch has favored both players. Harimoto will have to raise his level on the other side to win the match.

Because your strength is habitually your strength, even if your opponent is stronger at it.

All that said, massively impressive performance by Hari-boy so far.

I feel that with a different draw, France would have had a good chance at silver and were the second best team in the event. That's part or the reason I feel Japan has no real chance.

Not at all, it is in some ways a reminder of the fact that Gauzy has been good and leading France for a long time and from a young age.

The movie will be far better than the reality lol.

Germany will have to get the ABC team for her to have a good chance of playing Shin Yubin. That is what we should be hoping for and even then, she would still have to beat Lee Eunhye, which should be a given with the level displayed so far, but no certainty in TT as this tournament has revealed...

Oh she is here to stay in terms of the German team. She also won bronze at the WJTTC last year if I remember correctly. But the level she is showing now is top 10 maybe top 5 and that can be a flash that disappears for a true top 15/top 20 player.

Did you really have to answer his ridiculous position? When does getting a medal for your country become selfish because your country can't use you in the team event for which your country would still be a medal favorite without you anyways? She already proved that she is still better than the...

The real question is whether she can maintain this level after the Olympics. One tournament magic is real even if we think otherwise.

Your creativity in finding ways to put down Hayata is astonishing.

Miwa is going to win this, SXN is too slow in general at her current age and Miwa will adapt.

Yeah. I didn't expect this but I don't think people were giving her enough credit.

Nothing to do with pressure. Watch the Kaufmann matches and the results. Thr girl beat lily 3-0, Batra 3-1, Akula 3-0. All high level opponents. Most games under the score of 6. I give Japan credit but it was clear that if Kaufmann was Asian, the hype would have been off the charts. But...

He will only get Truls if China changes its order and I cannot see why it would be worth it to do so since Sweden has a strong doubles team.

I don't know the specifics but pretty sure the first two matches will be Wan/Shan vs Hayata/Hirano and Kaufmann vs Harimoto. After that, depends on nuances.
