Samsonov's predictions are correct so far... can he go all the way?

anyone know mizutani's record with freitas? I'm praying my main man mizu gets bronze
According to ITTF's head to head statistics... 6-0 in favor of Mizutani.

After watching the whole match between Samsonov and Ovtcharov, there are a few things that really strike me:
1) Samsonov had some luck in the last set, but Ovtcharov was up 8-4 and made 4 unforced errors, so it isn't with luck that Samsonov won
2) Dima looked nervous, played nervous and didn't display any smart tactics that were apparent to me (if I am wrong, please correct me)
3) Samsonov clearly suffered from his injury: he didn't move as well as he normally did. SO, Dima losing this match is even more a surprise.
4) Samsonov displayed some brilliant tactics here: pushing to the deep FH of Ovtcharov, as to force him to open the rally up and then putting pressure on him. Also, staying out of the longer rallies and Dima's BH on first notice. Letting Dima move from the deep FH all across the table, which is a weak point of Ovtcharov. Lastly, Vladi didn't use the banana flick often to open the game, as to break the rhythm of Dima, which worked fantastically.
5) And to end, the thing that surprised me the most was the performance, or even better, lack of mature performance from Dima. ALWAYS going full power, seemingly without thinking what he wanted to do during the point. Giving Vladi the opportunity to turn the tables in his favour, using the speed from Dima against him. Dima displaying MANY unforced errors during the match.
I am really dissappointed in the way both Timo and Dima played in the Singles Event. Both top 10 players ( Boll out of the top 10 atm, but certainly top 10 worthy). Both their performances and level of play were not what you would expect from them. Timo visually struggling with his movement and Ovtcharov really not playing as number 5 in the world would play in such an important tournament as this. His match against Li Ping was in my eyes also not the best. Consistency wise it was pretty shaky to say the least.
I do really hope that they can both learn from this, adapt, and redeem themselves in the Team Event.

Dima overpowered everybody in ETTC 2015, probably he thought that he would get away with that this time.

mizu definitely playing smarter now, his short game and decision making for when to attack are better than marcos. good to see freitas trusting his BH more, he used to always pivot and lose the point

yup he relies on his rallying abilities but what else can he do he probably knows he cannot outwit jun in the opening phase/short game flicking. he is super aggressive, win some lose some it think it all boils down on how jun handles the game
