Up till 2018, Hirano had always been Ito's Kryptonite.

Looking like Ito Mima-chan vs The PLA unless Hashimoto Honoka-chan pulls off this fightback

Both Hashimoto and Sato have improved their attacks quite a bit this year. Great time to come for Japan in the next Olympic cycle.

I had a great evening with the above picture symbolizing the funniest moment of the evening. I got a text from RidTheKid asking for a close up of FZD’s “Stiga”. I took the photo as a joke and one of the kids who was a ball boy on break (I’m friends with his dad) asked me what I was doing. I told him about my friends request and he was “your friend is wrong. FZD uses a Stiga now bla”. I showed him the TTD thread and he looked so violated/offended/lied to. HAHAHA!

Everyone playing any event on the weekend is CNT or JNT except Dima and Gauzy.

Aś I wrote before Liu fei is very good player, she is totalny different from wu yang. It is not about Choping but understandind the spin and what you can do about it. I am not dissapointed by Ishikawa performance because there are not too many players who can easily beat Liu fei.

Harimoto is just not a surprise anymore. Same game as always and when the pressure is on his shoulders he falls apart. Maybe when he becomes taller and bigger with more muscles and longer arms and legs, we gonna see a new player but who knows.
So for all events still playing are 21 CNT, 5 JNT, 2 rest of the world. Total domination.

Niwa vs Gauzy was a cracker, lots of fun points as you would expect:

yes it was a great match. I enjoyed watching LJK v CCY as well. Point of the day is the last point of their 4th game.
Hashimoto v Sun was a great attack v defense classic game to watch. Hashimoto has really improved a lot, she's the most promising defense female player for me.
Ito v Hirano has insane rallies. Both players are really quick and find incredible angles. I still feel when watching those 2 that they terribly lack power compared to their Chinese rivals.

I think it's not so much a problem of him being exposed to the grand stage early. So much as expectations either the JNT place on him or he/his father places on himself.
The problem is the looming 2020 Tokyo Olympics. TH excels, maybe is even the best in the world, at certain aspects of the game, but the rest of his game is full of holes. For his long term developement, he should be working on making his game more complete and filling those holes.
But... with the Tokyo so close, it seems like they are understandably weary of overhauling his entire game (which is what he needs).
Purely on his own terms, 2020 is probably not a good time for him to be trying to tie down a medal (maybe even looking at gold). There's just too much of his game that needs fixing. But after 2020, when the timing would be better for TH, the Olympics are almost certainly not going to be in Japan again in his career. So he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I think that china has the best players analysis, so they studied Harimoto last year, the same as Ito and Hirano. Probably now they are studying lin Yun Ju.
I remember when Koki started playing was also very promising he beat ma long. And now....
