Hirano seems to be in better shape than Ito for Singles?
I think 2019 FZD is an entirely different beast from 2018 FZD.
While FZD seems to be putting his game back together with a few new parts he's worked on, given the CNTs bias towards experience and general risk aversion, he needs to put his game back together very quickly if he wants an Olympics singles spot.
Lucky for me, your shitposting is absolutely in vain. Pot meeting the kettle.
TV rating for the Men's QF b/w Japan and Germany is 3.8%. Roughly 3000 spectators attended.前日7日に男子準々決勝などを地上波中継したテレビ東京の平均視聴率は、3・8%(関東地区、ビデオリサーチ調べ)の惨敗ぶり。裏番組のボクシング世界戦(フジテレビ系=15・2%)、世界野球「プレミア12」(TBS系=11・6%)に完全に食われたが、「視聴エリアが限られるテレ東さんにはその分、ユーチューブで生配信したりと、すそ野を広げる協力をしてもらっている」と意に介さない。
キャパ6500人の会場にも空席が目立ち、3日間で最多だったこの日も3000人止まり。それでも「全日本選手権やジャパンオープンに比べたら認知度が低いですから」とどこ吹く風だ。
Japan is lucky to have won the draw as the ABC team. Had they been the XYZ team, Baba would likely have put Ishikawa for the 4th match instead of the 3rd as she did against Romania, in order to keep the ranking points even between Ishikawa and Hirano.luckily JNT was able to hide Ishikawa in the decider game. Just image her meltdown with the pressure to play the last game in an important tournament in front of the home crowd.
tomorrow I guess JNT will put her on a possible game 5 again to hide her the embarrassment. Ok if I saw correctly tomorrow Ito has to play a potentially game 5. So Ishikawa biggest hope is that they dont even reach the 4. game

Ok after watching the match, i agree with you on the FH topspin. I didn't actually watch the match when i posted my previous comment, just inferred that he played really bad after seeing the score.i don't agree at all, FH away from the table is now world class. He can win rallies against the best Chinese, he showed it today.
The main problem i have seen, especially against Pitchford, is his tendency to choose too often a power-loop for an opener with a very low arc. He has missed many of those, it is too risky. He need to improve his consistency on this shot or choose to do something else.
