Matsushima blames his MS loss to LSD on participating in 4 events.
【卓球】松島輝空「足に力が入らずふらふら…」疲労困憊で力尽きる 中国の世界６位に２―４で準々決勝敗退…アジア大会

Matches ranging from the third round to the quarterfinals in men's and women's singles, as well as quarterfinals in doubles, took place. Matsushima Sora, a top player for the Japanese men's team, defeated a Singaporean opponent 4–2 in the morning's singles third round but fell 2–4 in the afternoon quarterfinal against world No. 6 Lin Shidong (China). Returning from the match looking utterly exhausted, the 19-year-old slumped his shoulders and said, "I think my opponent was playing at about 120% of his capacity, whereas I’m not sure I had even 10% or 20% focus. I couldn't concentrate at all. I have regrets because I think I could have won if I’d been more focused in the early stages."
He is competing in a maximum of four events at this tournament. After helping the Japanese men's team win their first gold medal in 60 years on the 24th, he faced a grueling schedule: four matches on the 25th, and another three matches—including two best-of-seven contests—on this day. "When you're in 4 events, this kind of schedule is inevitably tough; it was hard mentally as well. My fatigue level probably went beyond 100%. I was so tired I couldn't put strength into my legs and was wobbling during practice, so my approach to the matches had to change. It was a struggle because I had to go into the games while already at my limit," he said, straining to speak with a face flushed bright red.
On the 27th, he has a men's doubles match coming up alongside Togami Shunsuke (Imuraya Group), who has reached the semifinals. "Since I'm playing doubles with Togami, I want to give it my all and aim for the gold medal," he declared with determination.)
