The Japanese chopper doubles duo used to turn me off with their screams but I have actually become a fan of both of them now. They just keep fighting, even in the face of the Chinese loopers that would drive most teams mad.

I'm really enjoying this match, too.

In fact, at times it's the Chinese that are driven mad.

2-2!

I never saw a chopper in doubles (I know there is), it's really enjoyable to see 2 playing together

Quite a nail-biter. Two matchpoints. Ouch.

Fang Bo has pull out of the doubles and singles. Apparently he is sick

Thought he would have a decent chance to go far this time...

Chen Meng on intergalactic level, strong favourite to take the title.

If it even comes close to their epic encounter from last years Czech Open, then YES

Gnakesaryan is part of Ochsenhausen team- muramatsu, hugo,dyjas,geraldo,gauzy(main team), szudi, akkuzu, majoros,szudi,angles, robles ( different team but they are training with them ) so when he is going on tour then he is in good shape and i dont know his main club but coaches threat him like ghost and he really have different style from normal european player

FML, no Adam Bobrow. Instead the commentary is gonna be "okay, so 5-5, Miu Hirano to serve. And 6-5. And we're tied at 6 all. Beautiful, 7-6. %goes missing% And the first set goes to Hirano"

If Japan is to win gold at Tokyo Olympics, Ishikawa will have to step aside. She is gonna be a dead weight.

Hirano played so bad in the 2nd half of game 2, squandering her lead at 7:5 on her serve and it still took Ishikawa this much trouble to take that game.

3rd game onward, Hirano took it down a notch, increasing her consistency. Ishikawa should've put up the pressure, but she tagged along for the ride.

4th game is the 2nd game reloaded, Hirano led 6:3 and then served into net again. She has this weird "black-out" period from time to time when she leads. It happens without warning.

Adam just broadcast from the event, just some humor so far:

Looks like ITTF sold the rights to the semis and the finals to Turner Sports for the US, who have no links to watch it or pay for it on their website

can you watch it on ITTV or it won't let you? Ludicrous if not.

No, it won't broadcast on ITTV in the US, definitely ludicrous. Looks like Ted Turner paid ITTV and then shut it off, so maybe they got a new coffee machine in Switzerland.
