True but still the best strategy against her is to wait until she start missing risky shots. I can see most of her opponents do it. When they see she is on fire and every risky shot lands on the table they are trying Just to play more spin and wait until Ito starts missing. Most of cases it happens.Ito showed growth in this match. After game 1, her BH lost the edge. By game 4, she was already stepping around to use her FH as much as possible. If it were not for the unfortunate event, there's a good chance she could've taken game 6.
His father.
Not sure what the shelf-life is for Mima's style but I suspect that she'll be good for maybe one more olympic cycle before she's completely figured out/age catches up. Chen was exploiting angles and making Mima run around like no other chinese player has done so far, and the last two blocks were very reminiscent of how Fukuhara used to lose to the chinese.
TH vs MF: ff that's a flawed FH, than I'd like to have such a flawed FH.
