Can I watch the whole final match somewhere?
Women's Final: Solja Petrissa vs Ito Mima
I think you confuse with her sister Amelie Solja who plays with anti.Petrissa's strokes are full of spins. Wonder what type of rubber she uses on her backhand. I thought she used to use something like short pips/anti but not sure about her current setup.
Isn't Mima Ito sponsored by nittaku? I would say it was Moristo SP.
Hi harveyaquino ! I see you're from Japan so I ask again a question I askes before in this thread. Maybe you'll have an answer.Ah yes. I've read in another forum that she uses Moristo SP. If she is sponsored then I see no reason not to use the Moristo. She is a very talented player.

"Once thing I don't understand is why Hayata has so few opportunities ? She is good, has the same age than Mima Ito and Miu Hiarano, she beat them in this tournament and before this year but it's the only tournament she participated this year (including Junior and Cadet Opens) and she won't be in others tournaments later this year (so far). For example, she will be the only japanese women player who participated here and who won't be in the next Spanish Open while Ito and Hirano have so much more opportunities and will participate in WTTC 2015."
Ok thanks, no problem.That I have no idea. Sorry. And I am not from Japan, my location is rather below that country, somewhere I don't want to reveal to internet. Sorry for causing misunderstanding.

For Petrissa, here are pictures of her racket from last year. I don't know if she has changed since:

To me this tournament was absolutely breathtaking!
Petrissa Solja made this her tournament by winning the U21 competition and by being runner up in the senior one!
Mima Ito was absolutely amazing, really, being 14 years old, winning the main competition, wov!
Funny thing she lost in the U21 competition in round 2 to (already discussed) Hina Hayata.
And about Samsonov, well! Beating one Chinese and leading 3:0 over Zhang!
Listen, these two I think played just 2 times. Both times Samsonov was in the lead. In the OG I think he was 3:1 up. Also lost. But not sure about the matchpoints, I know he had one this time..
In the final, well, I felt confused. Its like Zhang changed his mind over winning. When he couldnt win it 4:1, he kind of gave up. Changed playing style, slowed down his moving, he wasnt so fast anymore.. You cant win against Ma Long playing like this. Who knows what happened. But I am sure Ma Long will not be able to beat Zhang at WTTC, there Zhang will not stand back..
Its too bad Samsonov didnt beat Zhang, I think Vladi was the only one able to beat Ma Long in this tournament. Very very impressive touch and intelligent game, wov!
I hope ha can do some really serious upsets in the WTTC ;-)
