Nice play by Ito, but she still needs to work out mentality. She misses some easy balls which are quite crutial and that makes her mood down and start playing 50%.

I think you’re referring to the flat kills missed in the last game (or two). If that’s the case, I would question that classification of easy. Placement and spin made them more complicated than they seem, I think. They were possible, that I agree, but no walk in the park.
And didn’t she recover? I didn’t see liss of confidence or effort afterwards, quite the contrary.
Fanboi spectacles, maybe, but I’m just not seeing this.
The same goes for that high kill that Mizutani missed entirely. The backspin on that ball was extreme, its bounce and flight after the bounce tricky and awkward. Doable? Certainly. Easy? No.

I am talking about earlier performance in set 2. After the come back she was smiling all the time and looked like they can finish chinese in 3 stright games, every shot she made was there, she was the leader of the team. After that she totally lowered her level and Mizutani had to play more agressive.
IT is not only the kill shots, also few blocks and pushes.
Those kill missed by Mizutani was extremely hard to execute.

Dima seems to lose these Chinese up and comers. For me this is the biggest match of the year for me to believe he is fundamentally sound again.

Agreed, but he has moments when he gets it workable and moments when it is not. But when he loses to these up and comers, it reminds me that his game is just wrong. In fact to me, how he plays against them speaks more loudly than how he does against the top A-players.

The plastic ball has just exposed Dima much more than ideal. The opening no longer has the extreme value it does, so his backhand opener is more devalued, his serve spin is not that devastating and the balanced rallying isn't there. All of this is level relative of course.
Lol.

Translator to ZZH: You played very beautifully today. Was it luck?

Harimoto's BH has been reworked some. It's shorter, more explosive and he can now switch b/w a spinny drive and a punchy drive seamlessly in a point.
G5, 6:2, 13:11.
Kudos to Takuya Jin for reaching this far.

funny, Mizutani's coach is GC Foester
I've seen him quite a few times in amateur tournaments in Tokyo, I've not played against him yet (he'd crush me of course), but my teammate played against him once (and lost)... and he coached a buddy against me, but i won
