Sticking to singles:
I think this umpire got suspended. I haven’t seen him for the whole day so far. I think there was another umpire as well in the same match as that umpire and he too I have not seen for the whole day. Maybe two umpires are currently suspended. One for purposely damaging rackets in the envelope and two for messing with WCQ table tennis match balls.another umpire call by racketgate umpire

Flaming our does nit mean what you think it means. You should be looking ar someone like Yu Ziyang if you want to go thar route though even in his case, it is more he didnt get chances to play on thr CNT. But again you would have to ignore all lot of medals that Harimoto has won to make your flameput argument, the issue is at most the gap between expectations and reality and hardly any flaming out.
Last I checked, WCQ and LJK are entered in this tournament so not sure how you consider him a "favorite to win". Sure, he's been one of the top players in the world for those tournaments but that, or one's earlier successes as a child, don't make you a "favorite to win".
If you checked out that thread, that's exactly why I made that meme. Please read through what others wrote before jumping the gun.
It's a ... tough argument: SYS was leaning maybe half of her arm on the bottom line. What's making me wondering is the lack of english language understanding by SYS, it's WCQ that had to show her the problem explained by the umpire, even if it was... maybe questionable, but not that terrible.another umpire call by racketgate umpire

Then why were his records in the World Championships including this one and Olympics abysmal so far then especially with many early round exits? Isn't that what choking as a favorite in a major tournament is?
You wouldn't have posted it in the first place if you'd read through my post. Smarty.
So is the pressure he is failing under due to the magnitude of the tournament or the strength of the field now?
It's both. Harimoto doesn't have the advantages against underdog opponents who play really well against him in the big tournaments so far.
Actually, with this new racketgate, I discovered that WCQ speaks a proper English.
Her difference is however very dramatic lol probably because she is naturally very thin
The umpires' English skills are more of a problem than the athletes'. That was the point. Once they try to discuss anything with the umpires you see the issue.
Asian athletes especially from China, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, have a tendency to express how they played in their native language, but they are fine with communicating in broken English. The current generation of Chinese players speak better English than their previous counterparts who had to use hand signals to communicate, especially with umpires.
Then what age was ML at WTTC 2015? ML didn't even win his first World Cup until 2012 (ZJK gave him his spot) when he was 24, whereas ZJK was already a grand slam holder also at 24.
