Japan over India, match 1 Kawakami and Bhattacharjee will be important in how deep this contest goes, but I think Kawakami takes it and it goes 3-0 Japan. If Bhattacharjee wins, probably goes to match 5 because I think he would also beat Yoshiyama in match 4.

I like an underdog and newcomer and I actually think Italy pulls it off in U15B.

Timeout called at 12-11 in the first game of Bhattacharjee/Kawakami - clearly they know the importance of this match too.

Italy beat China and Japan - remind me why they are an underdog again...

Ankur lost two 10-7 leads yesterday against Kuo - I am sure they must have discussed something even if it didn't work.

ITA 1:0 TPE
Superb Trevisan gameplan. Stay tuned!

Wow kawakami takes the first match, bhattacharjee had a 7-3 lead at one point but it slipped away. some great forehand attacks by kawakami

Sachi Aoki takes down Zong Geman 3-2,11-9. Could it happen again in U19 GT? Yuna Ojio is up next against Qin Yuxuan.

 

[NextLevel]

Tough loss for team India as Ankur couldn't close it out 2-2, 10-7 and goes down 11-13.

 

[NextLevel]

Faso might lose for the first time...

 

[NextLevel]

Interesting how the losses of Faso and Ankur just completely changed the tone of the matches lol...

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Cocona Muramatsu started off the U15 GT finals well with a 3-1 win over highest ranked U15 player in the world, Heo Yerim.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Sachi Aoki is singlehandedly keeping Japan in the U19 GT. She beat both Zong Geman and Qin Yuxuan. Whether Japan wins or lose, Sachi has been amazing!

Not sure what you mean by the tone of the matches but India never stood much chance in match 2 and 3, Ankur winning the first so he could take 2 was key here, and hoping for pressure to go in their favor in match 5

They didn't stand a chance but I think that they would have played harder had Ankur won.

Chinese Taipei it is interesting that Cheng is so good today and Chen so bad today...

Cocona Muramatsu started off the U15 GT finals well with a 3-1 win over highest ranked U15 player in the world, Heo Yerim.

Good win for Cocona, but Heo Yerim cannot be serious with ranking🤣🤣🤣
2nd in U-19, so she should be able to beat every youth in the world except Miwa?

Better win U15 singles to prove her worth but loosing twice in Teams final is already a joke

Italy loses in a valiant effort - I guess they were the underdog after all (analysis based on result lol).

Amazing match - Zong Geman probably has turned her skin to steel now - fighting through red card and two deuces to take it for China from down 0-2 - we keep our sponsors!
