I didn't knew, so I wrote both best of 7 and 5 games' anticipations.

actually I've doubled checked, the 4 first rounds are played best of 5, and from there its best of 7

So, to be more precise, in the first 3 (qualifying) rounds, there are no seeded players. In the 4th round (best 64), the 32 seeds meet 32 qualifiers. All those games are best of 5.

Then round of 32, 16, 8, QF, SF, final...are best of 7.

Link to the live streaming.

It's hard to locate as the web site is in Japanese. Today is the second day so click on 2 at the top then choose which ever table(up to 24) you'd like to watch. Seeded players will be playing from day four so you'll mostly see junior and doubles events until then.

Basically he had difficulties to attack this serve with his FH, so he tried Chiquita many times, but success rate went down under pressure, and he was exposing himself too much.

Also, his opponent Miyamoto caught him wrong footed a few times with some long topspin receive putting the ball a few times opposite where Harimoto was waiting. a bit surprising.

Harimoto didn't have the chance to play many BH/BH rallies where he excels.

Miyamoto's one of the hardest working player in junior TT right now so really happy for him to beat Harimoto. I guess winning Japan junior natinoals is harder than winning worlds.

As for the analysis, it'd be great to see USA players in finals with their superb analystic skills and strong forehand.
