A gentle mix of dense population, mysophobia and mass psychology, perhaps exacerbated by an actual viral epidemy?

Ito VS Hayata
The poorest opening imaginable for Hayata in game 1, with Ito winning the next 8 points after a 2:0 lead. Closed the gap but still dropping 7:11.
Game 2 was tight and IMHO was vital to Hayata. Despite all that, Ito still tested a new serve but sent it right into net and Hayata had a chance to make it 9:7 serving at 7:7, but missed one crucial FH winner. 9:11.
Game 3 proceeded in favor of Ito. Hayata kept playing the catch-up game. 7:11.
Game 4 is the one Hayata and fans alike were expecting. Still, Hayata missed her initiative, again serving at 7:7. 9:11.
Ito 4:0 Hayata. No contest.

Kihara played like an 18-year-old, despite being 14 only. Silenced loud af Sakura Mori after dropping game 1. Amazing consistency in adjusting her play on the fly.

What better way to win the game than an ace? Harimoto missed two serving at 8:8.
Harimoto totally shut out in game 2.
Returning the favor in game 3.
Huge comeback for Oshima after trailing 4:8 in game 4. Kept serving long to Harimoto's deep BH to prevent the chiquita. TO at 8:6 didn't work for Harimoto.
Very close to defeat for Harimoto in game 5, after trailing 6:8, only to take the next 5.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Game 7. Harimoto trailed 1:4, and then 1 or 2 points. Managed to take the lead at 8:7, but at 8:8, Harimoto couldn't pull ahead on his own serve. Oshima stuck to his long serve and all FH tactics.

Anyone other than Harimoto is going to lose easily to Mizutani. Good luck to Oshima if he is up to the task of upsetting Harimoto but he shouldn't be.

I didn't see the match, however I do know that Ishikawa has, on other occasions, looked passed opponents by not taking them sufficiently serious. I do not know the head-to-head record between them, but I'm quite sure it very strongly favors Ishikawa. Ishikawa, thinking about the match up with Ito for many months, likely wasn't ready for an improved Hayata and thus Hayata rolled.
All praise to Hayata!!
