Ito is the weak link of the Japanese pair. She's missing too much. Hayata is playing rather well. A Hirano/Hayata pair would present more of a challenge to the Chinese.

I think Ito's game is too weird, she's already peaked. Hayata has better prospects as a singles player and I expect her to be in the JNT main team while Ito will be sitting on the bench

The Chinese won easily that match without too much problem.

The final of the most pretigous competition between the two representatives of their generations. They both joined CNT A squad from the age of 16. Today, will we see ML defends his champion or FZD opens his account for a grand slam title? 20 min to go...

The lady translator is so fluent bilingually, speaks impeccable Chinese and English.

Update: Her name is Emma LI

She is new to interpreting though. I cringe everytime she uses third person to refer to the interviewee. That's interpreting 101, speak in first person, try to be invisible :p

If FZD wins over ML, he should finally overtake him in the world rankings, right? -- considering the 3x points + points depending on how far you get in the tournament.

Right now FZD dominating!

More importantly FZD will tremendously gain his confidence against ML because he never beat ML at international stage :)
