[CoolPug7]

Cha Hyo Sim has been pretty good lately one set with Miu Hirano is 11-3

 

[Sali]

great fight by Kihara Miu, I am really impressed how fearless she is against top players.

Men Singles R32 Upset

Slovakia Lubomir Pistej 4-2 Woojin Jang Korea

Upset on paper, but I don't find it much of an upset really

 

[PatriciaPinheiro]

Mima is "losing it", 2 grotesque service errors and no TO left

come on, girl!

 

[Danny21312]

I was about to say how disappointing the Japanese female players have been in this tournament, but thankfully Mima Ito changed my mind.

Liam did it!

Really don't know what to make of Pitchford as a player, In WTTC he barely won against Afanador while here he had a comfortable win against ZQH. He's just so up and down that you can never expect what kind of a performance he's gonna bring during tournaments.

Table 1 stream down

What is going on with Fang Bo? Injury?

What is going on with Fang Bo? Injury?

more like lack of motivation and level going down

It might depend on the type of table used. He may feel more comfortable on certain tables.

I do. Pistej is great but what has he really won? JWJ is a CNT tier 2 threat and Korean #1/2. It is not an impossible result and Pistej is in great form as his victory over Fang Bo shows, but this is an upset.

 

[Xylit]

Samsonov losing from 9-9 three times in a row against Liang. Bad luck.
Gauzy defeats Lee 4-1 with some very entertaining rallies.
Ovtcharov vs Walther also quite intense.

Awesome table tennis hours

Dima and Walther in game 7 after Dima had 4 match points - wow...

At the top level how much of a difference can the table make?
I'm a bit skeptical about it being that much of a difference, to which he'll beat ma long and harimoto on his prefered ones but then lose to somebody well outside the top 50 on another table.

 

[Simas]

Mattias Falck lost to Yu Ziyang 3:4 ....

Liam over HT - anyone agree?

 

[NextLevel]

3 lefty-lefty matchups (TB-JM, J-JG, XX-EL) and one lefty-righty (MY-LGY) matchup in one set of matches.

Liam over HT - anyone agree?

Definitely possible, has happened before, but HT is still the favorite to me.
