Harimoto already won the junior competition without losing a single set in 6 matches. This is super impressive for an 14 years old boy.

semifinal:

Miu Hirano　vs　Takako Nagao
Mima Ito vs Kasumi Isikawa

 

[thomas.pong]

I'd like to see Tomo and Mima Ito win, but I think Jun Mizutani and Miu Hirano will take the crown this year.

 

[ttpshot]

And he's done it! Beaten Mizutani to become the youngest national champion!

Semi Final Men/Women

Jun Mizutani vs Kenta Matsudaira 4-0 11-5/11-8/11-8/12-10/
Masataka Morizono vs Tomokazu Harimoto 0-4 7-11/8-11/8-11/8-11/


Miu Hirano　vs　Takako Nagao 4-3 9-11/11-5/11-2/9-11/11-13/11-5/12-10
Mima Ito vs Kasumi Isikawa 4-1 7-11/11-7/11-8/11-6/11-9

Final Men/Women

Jun Mizutani vs Tomokazu Harimoto 2-4 9-11/5-11/11-8/2-11/11-6/5-11

Miu Hirano vs Mima Ito 1-4 7-11/9-11/3-11/11-5/6-11



Insane stuff from Harimoto, he dominated this event. In six matches he lost only 4 sets, two against Mizutani.

 

[drunix80]

Waiting for Harimoto vs FZD sometime soon. Will be insane !!

 

[v100ev]

Watched the finals(both).. It seems to me that Harimoto's style is much more plastic ball oriented than Jun's (cause he's much younger of course). You can see the same thing in the women's part of the championship too.
