FISU World University Games 2025

Amazing play by Kotomi! She has a fiery personality, but I can't believe how calm she was when playing YYY. Even we she missed a shot, she did not get down on herself. Just nodded and kept cool. Japan for the first time ever beat China at the FISU games. Kudos to Kyoka Idesawa for keeping Japan in the team match.

i'm very pleased with her performance
she only started her international career 4 months ago (in March).

next up for Taiwan to win!
2 more of my players in the team, go go go!

The China men’s team is now looking to prevent China from being shut out of the team titles here.

For TPE, Feng is playing 1st & 4th, Kao is playing 2nd & 4th.

7 straight points for Chen in the 3rd game against Feng keeps him alive

Feng puts TPE up 1-0

Sun won 8 in a row after Kao was up 5-0

 

[dewnyc]

Sun beats Kao 3-1 to make the team score 1-1. The advantage seems to shift towards China, at least to me.

Sun Zeng was super stable, and Kao was at a power deficit. Huang.Yan-Cheng takes game 1.

 

[dewnyc]

Huang beats Zeng 3-1 to put TPE back up 2-1, and now the team has 2 chances to win the gold.
Among the China men players here at this WUG, Zeng is who I've seen the most (which is not much) in WTT action.

You can tell that Kao is feeling a ton of pressure. He doesn't want to go down as the top player losing 2 matches. Hopefully, he can get his focus back.

Edit: He tends to go for too many all or nothing shots. Just need quality.

 

[dewnyc]

Kao loses his 2nd match in this tie.
Either Feng or Sun will have to win a 2nd match in the decider to win the gold.

Early timeout for Feng Yi-Hsin up 8-7 in game 1. Better stability and quality from Feng than Kao.

I think Sun Zheng is better than Zeng Beixun. Extremely stable and just as much if not more power than ZBX..

 

[dewnyc]

Sun playing very well

Gold coming down to a deciding game

Feng on fire in the 5th game of the 5th match

beautiful!!

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Feng Yi-Hsin played like a superhero! At times changing the pace. At times going all out. Add in great placement. This guy played with an extremely high IQ. What a match !

 

[dewnyc]

TPE wins gold!
The first time China's men's team failed to do so, after winning it 9 straight times.
China also got shut out of both team titles.

Feng is absolutely insane when he is on. Very hard to get past him. Kao sure didn't look like he was feeling the gold medal after losing both his singles.
