Is it possible Fan Zhendong tanked the 2nd game of his match to give the home Sweden crowd some hope ?

That was the only game lost by China.

I really don't think so. Xu also came close to losing his second game and it was anybody's game at one point. I would give the Swede's credit for taking a game off Zhendong. To the best of my knowledge and experience competitive players do not offer up games. They come in to give their strongest performance and dominate, and to do it emphatically if they can. I used to be a sports correspondent for many year as well and I never came across a top level team or athlete ever being "magnanimous" in this way.

That would be the great defender Jill Parker, formerly named Jill Hammersley.

Ito never used the towel once. Should've used that to slow down the pace in the 2nd game. She's forcing it in the 3rd game.

4th game, Ito's objective is all-out 3rd ball attacks. And she took it!

Ito 1:5 to 6:7, 6:8, 6:9, 7:9, 8:9. Ito smiled there. 8:10. LSW knew Ito would step around. Ito kept pressing on 3rd ball. 9:10. 10:10! 11:10! 12:10!!!
