26th Asian Table Tennis Championship

[zeio]

Interesting insight from Tanaka on 3-2 WCQ. He expresses his gratitude to his physiotherapist 香川英信/KAGAWA Hidenobu for body maintenance and bench coach 李龍飛/Li Longfei for game plan. On perfectly handling WCQ's shovel serve at 12:12 in G2, Tanaka says that in the MT match between Harimoto and WCQ, he learned that the shovel serve was mostly topspin, and while he was prepared, that turned out to be case in the match. He is glad that intel proved useful. Even though he wasn't as confident in the rallies, they were easier to handle than he imagined and that gave him confidence. (Interestingly, Togami felt the same about WCQ after WTTC 2021.)

■田中佑汰選手のコメント
　もちろん王楚欽選手を倒そうと思って試合に臨みましたが、本当に実現するとは思っていなかったので本当にうれしいです。
　いつも帯同していただいている香川（英信）さんに体のメンテナンスをしていただいて、李（龍飛）コーチにベンチで作戦を立てていただいて、サポートしてくれるメンバーがいてすごい心強かったです。
　今の王楚欽との試合で一気にオリンピックに近づけたんじゃないかと思っているし、慢心せずに、次戦のアチャンタ（インド）は以前負けている選手なので、頑張りたいと思います。明日は3試合あるので、ベスト4まで一気に駆け上がりたいと思っています。
（2ゲーム目のジュースで王楚欽のエースサービスの巻き込みサービスに見事に対応されましたが、どのような準備をしていたのですか？）今回、団体戦で張本選手が王楚欽と対戦していて、巻き込みサービスはアップ系が多いと聞いていたので、準備はしていましたが、実際にアップ系が多かったと思います。その情報が役に立ってよかったです。
（打ち合いでも互角以上でしたが）自信はそこまでありませんでしたが、思ったよりもボールに対応できたことは自信になりました。

How is LYJ losing to ML again??? Can't see the match, only the scores, but this is not looking good...

Why is that surprising? ML has always been the better player.

Can't complain about ML vs FZD final

ML is a papa now, he is supposed to be making way for the young ones. And LYJ won their last match! The final will be another boring FZD win...

Serving long match point down... really????

Some of the players could be saving it for Asian Games.

ML has always had a hard time against LYJ and Harimoto, if you will.

https://mytabletennis.net/forum/for...eam-chinas-race-to-paris-2024-singles#1143073

The draw was favorable to China at Tokyo 2020, had Ovtcharov faced FZD and LYJ faced ML instead, the results could've been very different. Ovtcharov and LYJ haven't been exactly the same for the Paris 2024 period but the former has beaten FZD and the latter has beaten ML, and on top of that Harimoto and the Lebrun brothers are set to become the next obstacles, ML is no longer the go-to choice.

The fact that Harimoto revealed in an interview after WTTC 2022 that he wanted to play ML shows he is not afraid of him (WCQ is the one he has the hardest time).
