Dainton: Please tell China that Australia is through with Trump. Let's be friends.
As a ITO fan, i'm not too disappointed. Even against SYS, ITO was clearly experimenting. It didn't work out. She did surprise a bit SYS who reacted well to her new strategies, but clearly ITO was not mastering those as well. Yet ITO sticked to her new plays instead of trying old things, and she should be praised for that.
All in all; SYS seems to be the player with the best overall skills, but even in a so-so day, ITO gave SYS a good challenge, and took 2 sets out of her. ITO is playing a high risk game, and i believe definitely in a good day she can beat SYS or even CM, but she is still the underdog.
Mima is still young, and working to find new ways to improve. I believe she can make it, one day, and hopefully become a world or olympic champion

Ishikawa: Me can't even take 1 game being up 5:1...
This time around, let's check out some comments on TV Tokyo youtube community.

Sat down and messed around with the spaghetti table after a long time. Could be wrong.

making fun of ISHIKAWA is just a meme. We all love her, Zeio included.
I'm a fan and supporter of ISHIKAWA but yeh i think she's useless against top Chinese players. not just by a lack of skill but because of mental problems because ISHIKAWA has just lost too many fights already.
If I was the Japanese coach i wouldn't let her play in a team event against China. I would try a young player. or if I don't have the choice at least i would put her #3
Would it kill Ito to learn to rally and defend? That might actually give her more opportunities to execute her famous attacks. She just seems to force everything at the third ball. Not only is it inaccurate, it's predictable.

Participating in 3 events for the first time, "I felt so difficult to win medals." In particular, from becoming the target for team China to being named the "Great Demon King" by the Chinese media in advance, and losing to the same-aged Sun Yingsha in the 3rd round of singles and hence failing to medal. "China has studied hard and come up with countermeasures together and I felt that the entire team came to defeat 1 player. I felt that "I won't get even 1 point" from the 1st game."
"I could play to 70, 80% of my ability (in a losing match), but I cannot win without 100%. In order to win steadily like a Chinese player, it is necessary to be able to win even at 60 to 70% of power." "It's more important to improve one's strength with high-quality practice than China measures. I feel that I am still not there yet, but I think that I can go further in the future".
Hirano Sayaka pointed out that the shot of the top Chinese players and those of the Japanese male sparring partners are different in rhythm and strength. For Mima Ito, she can only adapt and get used to it in the competition, but because there has been no competition for more than half a year and training is insufficient, it does have an impact on Mima Ito.平野早矢香指出,中国顶尖选手的球和日本男陪练的球在节奏和力量上都不一样。对于伊藤美诚来讲只能在比赛中去适应和习惯了,但因为半年多没有比赛,训练也不足,确实对伊藤美诚有影响。
平野早矢香还提到伊藤美诚发球上的变化。伊藤美诚动作和准备时的握拍、抛球高度、路线都有变化。发球也会影响到接球和第三球的旋转,所以很难改变,但伊藤选手的特点是可以不断改变。另外,对于稍微浮起的球,增加了扣杀的次数,可以看到她积极攻击的姿态。伊藤美诚变强了。
中国女队主帅李隼也指出,“孙颖莎和伊藤美诚的这场比赛很有代表性。莎莎在整体实力上略高一点,但是单个球的变化上不如伊藤美诚。还是要看对大势的把握,对战机球的把握。”
