If the comment was made on a Chinese forum, people would actually laugh together about the all-Asian bracket and feel for the rest of the world.

No one would give a dime about political correctness. Han Ying is politically a German and ethnically(birth, origin) a Chinese. Nothing wrong with that.

This whole PC crap is turning the Western countries into an allergic af society as a whole.

Career ending match for LJK.

Slap, slap, slap for Ito. 7:5, 7:7(overly aggressive), 9:7, 9:8(DN's dribbling net), 10:8(Ito's jab serve), 10:9, 10:10, 10:11, 10:12.

DN knows what to expect this time. The key here is to endure the first few strokes until she can take a step back.

Mentally she's not there yet. Ito looks even frustrated that Ding is giving her problems. No mental agility in her approach so far.
Weird to say it but Harimoto is much more matured in this aspect of the sport. He fights in every match, Ito seems to lack the enthusiasm at some point.

DN is so much sharper after the closed training.

Those 2 games were deflating for Ito.

Ito's expression so lost.

Kudos to Ito for hanging on after game 3. WTTC next.

I think everything was like the last time they met until Ding came up with new service at the end of game 1 and 2. Those crucial moments frustrated Ito since she was little bit better in those games.

DN's mental toughness really shines in critical moments. After two close losses, Ito kind of broke down.
It's hard to recover from such tough losses.

What about pairing him with ishikawa instead of their retirement ? Your dreamy mixed double pair .
