Ma Te & Wu Yang, such a refreshing pair. Chop chop chop. Bye Bye top seeds.

G2, Harimoto 0:5, 11:9 Zhu Linfeng. His FH is holding up well.

Samsonov is getting toyed around by Tanaka.

Aggressive TO from Kurashima at 9:5.

Zhu's FH seems mediocre. Failed to put away so many shots.

Commendable in the 1st 3 games. Harimoto just didn't miss much.

It's looking like another first round exit for Harimoto unless he's back in good form since for the last couple of months he's been in very poor form.

LOL the Chinese player got home with 0-4 against the in-poor-form Harimoto

The good thing about making crazy predictions is that no one takes you seriously until they come true. Then you sound like a Nostradamus.

Niwa losing 0-4 to Freitas. At this point I wonder if we will see him in the Olympics.

Harimoto is #1, Mizutani even if he's far from his peak, i believe he's still #3 at least. But who else if not Niwa ?

Other players have been very inconsistent as well

Kazuhiro and Maharu Yoshimura are in the distant 4th and 5th. If Niwa doesn't make the singles, there's a good chance either of those 2 will get picked instead for the team. The issue of having more left-handers than right-handers on the national team - Harimoto, Niwa, Mizutani, Masataka, and Kazuhiro.

According to Chen Szu-Yu, there's a flu pandemic in Bulgaria right now and quite a few players have fallen ill and pulled out because of that.
