Swedish Open 2018

I don't care if people complain. They're wrong. For it to be fair then we shouldn't have separation. Separating them is the unfair part. Then you can't have draws where for example Chinese knock each other out early. The draw becomes artificial and not a reflection of abilities.

Yeah, I agree with this. The draw should be randomized and not intentionally keeping players from the same association apart.

I think that's Waldner talking in the background of the live-stream cam of table 3 Fan Zhendong - Zhou Yu

Yes.He must've been sitting just next to the mic. I've heard him nonstop during some of the streams.

Waiting for FZD vs LJK, XX vs JW. XX will be seeking revenge for Korean Open loss.

Just retire.... Queen of hearts? What's going on there? (Edit: seems you only need to invoke zeio's ghost to reverse the game.)

This was Ishikawa's best chance to beat DN. She wasted her opportunity to take a 3-0 lead and that's what turned to match around.

I did the same mistake yesterday when she started losing 2 games, but was just warming up, rn I think she's the best in China again, adapting quite well to the one ranking system that made her work her butt out a lot this year... But honestly, if she lost to Ishikawa all CNT would choke dead

Ishikawa wasted two game points up 2-0 and 10-8 and never recovered from it

As soon she lost this set I couldn’t watch the rest

 

[Brs]

Mimia Ito v LSW, my two favorite players. At least one of them will win and play DN, but I wish it was the final.

 

[jawien]

Ito Mima walking in and holding hands with this taller kid looked pretty hilarious ...

 

[PatriciaPinheiro]

If the win doesn't come today at least she'll go home with a bf LOLOLOLOL

Seriously talking now, hard to tell who will take this match and any outcome is a win for us anyway, but I'm for MI this time

At the WTTTC, LGL couldn't stress enough that LSW needed to pin Ito down to her short FH in the commentary. Here at the Swedish Open, it's getting clear why LSW didn't, as keeping Ito b/w her deep BH and middle is way more effective.

How rare to see Ito taking a towel break at 6:6 in the 7th.

 

[Atas Newton]

Liu Shiwen chokes again, completely fell apart.

 

[Loopadoop]

Mimo Ito 4-3 Liu Shiwen

 

[Ioiettino]

Darn Ito wins against LSW, some fantastic points and she's so creative. Got lucky at crucial moments though.

Hard to pick a favourite between them, I was glad to see Ito come back but really hoping for LSW to finish up. Women's TT is better than ever and still changing quite a bit, it's just great.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

I’m cumming when I see Mima Clito

 

[Danny21312]

Liu Shiwen chokes again, completely fell apart.

Or maybe Ito was simply better overall than her in this match? Or is your chinese bias just too strong to admit that?
