India Open 2017

Harimoto played very well, Ovtcharov was 100% prepared and focused for that final. But came 4-0 ahead. But the kid did fight very well, especially in the 4th from 3-9 to 12-14, saving 3 match points, and showed us why he is already a (junior) world champion, and ITTF U21 World Tour winner at 13 (Japan Open !)

If the bookie odds are good, i'm ready to bet on Harimoto next time he plays Ovtcharov because if he has some specific training on how receiving that tomahawk and BH serves, it won't be that easy for Dima !!!

Just no chance for Harimoto. It will be at least 3 more years before he can beat Ovtcharov.

Looks like Ovtcharov's training with the Hurricane 3 has paid off!

Yeah, Oshima is quiet and cool...Morizono also, right?
Just to quote someone respected: table tennis isn't Go and he is only 13.

dima's serves were the difference in the final. It was quite evident that he studied TH's game, never really gave the kid the kind of balls that he likes to pounce on. His serve, attack, counter loops and service returns were much better. The kid is going to be a world champion someday.

I used to remember getting excited about young Mizutani's progress when he was 15 and had a world ranking of 200 ish.

It's quite scary how Harimoto has acieved so much more as 13 years old kid. My only wish now is that I'd like to see few more of these prodigies spring up from European region!
