Boll seems so off form
I think his backhand got worse after switching to the other blade
Boll: 10 < 810-time All-Japan Champion Mizutani vs 8-time European Champion Boll
4:1, 4:2, 5:2, 5:4, 6:4, 6:6, 10:6, 10:7, 11:7
0:1, 1:1, 1:3, 3:3, 3:4, 5:4, 5:6, Mizutani took off his glasses, 5:7, 6:7, 6:9, 7:9, 9:9, Boll is waiting for Mizutani to miss. Not working. 9:10, 10:10, 10:11, 11:11, 11:13
1:0, 1:1, 3:1, 3:3, Mizutani missing many FH winners, 4:3, 4:4, 6:4, Mizutani exploiting Boll's wide FH, 6:5, 7:5, 7:11, 6 in a row. In return, Boll exploited Mizutani's FH.

I think your right.
He needed that win – hopefully he can take some confidence from that
Well, if Franz doesn't finish it I'd say Dima will.
Appears so. Least Japanese have given bigger fight to that of Chinese Taipei.
Hopefully if Harimoto pulls it off Koki can really put up a good fight against Dima, got to a point where no shame with the outcome for either team
Harimoto: Me behind LYJ? What he can do, I can do as well!Harimoto vs Franziska
2:0, 2:3, 3:3, 3:4, service warning for GER, 3:6, 4:6, 4:7, 5:7, 5:11. Rosskopf: Here's how to beat him, Patrick. Just slow him down.
0:6, 0:3, TO for JPN, 1:6, 1:7, 2:7, 2:8, 5:8, TO for GER, 5:9, 6:9, 6:10, 9:10, 9:11. Too big a hole to fill.
1:1, 2:1, 2:2, 3:2, 3:3, 4:3, 4:4, 7:4, 7:5, 11:5
1:0, 1:1, 2:1, 2:2, 3:2, 3:3, 3:4, 7:4, 7:8, 10:8, 11:9
Decider before the decider?
2:0, 2:1, 5:1, 5:2, 6:2, 6:6, Franziska is going for Harimoto's FH after switching ends, 7:6, 7:7, 7:9, 11:9

Uda is a lefty. They should've gone for Togami. He's right-handed and the only one who took out Mizutani at the ATTC 2021 trial. Uda lost badly to Mizutani and Sora Matsushima in the group.Niwa isn't good enough to win against Ovtcharov, I doubt they can win against Korea. They should have selected Uda or Oikawa. Niwa was losing almost everything in the last 1-2 years, bad decision in my opinion.
Well done to Japan on honourable loss, even Chinese Taipei I was too harsh before. German team is nothing short of amazing and takes big effort to take them down
Yes, Germany is a really strong team. Chinese Taipei played really well, it is unfortunate that their doubles team couldn't deliver the way they hoped it would given their previous WTTC success. But this new team fixture pairing system has made doubles extremely relevant and unfortunately, the change in ITTF ranking system while keeping the same selection criteria hurt Japan's ability to send the best team. At least, we got to see good table tennis regardless.
