Xu xin looks really exhausted. I think they lut him in too many matches. Doubles xdoubles week by week. He is not 20 years old anymore
I think Timo ripped a couple of shots.. And continued playing the shots stronger cause he had nothing to loose. And those went in and then they went in Jun's headWith due respect to both players, I think it was Jun that bottled the win rather than Timo that created his 'magic', Jun kept going for those long serves and attacks combos that Timo read very well and always made Jun out of position, I guess the pressure was a lot but Jun didn't vary anything at all in those last 10 points, It was as if Timo had gotten into his head, was kinda depressing

Apparently this guy is Mizutani’s new coach?

Also, super important win for FZD over WCQ.
This match was absolutely insane. Incredible exchanges. Glad FZD made it through !!
Hmm I've just watched that match, and despite it being quite spectacular, i'm even more worried for FZD.
FZD was still incredibly passive during the early parts of each rally. Overwhelmingly, it was WCQ who successfully initiated the attack. FZD just 'got away with it' because he is insanely good on the counter attack game.
A couple of years ago I feel like FZD's style was incredibly similar to WCQ's now, (not in terms of their strokes because they have very differently shaped bodies), but in terms of timing/rythm. It seems like FZD was simply much better with that style than now.
FZD needs to stop being so passive, he's not Ma Long, he's not actually coming out with the first attack in these exchanges against high quality opponents. I hope these big wins don't further entrench him into what seems like a dead end.
FZD was egged on by everyone to be a more complete player rather than the one-dimensional player who could never get past ML. In the process, he tweaked his game. He is trying to play a high percentage game, improving his defence and going for full power on sure shot kills. In the long run, if he gets it right , it might be actually beneficial for FZD.
@zeio
LGL and his players always say they are a real team.
so I have a question
When the CNT tier2 players play against TH, JM, Ito or Ishikawa...
do they always play their "natural" game , or do they always try new tactics - decided on purpose by the main CNT coach [not just that player's coach] - that would suit more the main CNT players (not necessarily the player on the pitch) for their benefit in future matches ?
its cool to see that those players are humans and can talk (in interviews) but alas there's not much to get from them apart from their emotions
They always keep their tactics for them. Its natural they don't wanna tell the other guys exactly what they did. But for thats also the most interesting thing for us viewers
