Swedish Open 2019

[Janard]

Well, his current run will not last forever, I’m sure. But I’m enjoying it immensely while it lasts.

Yeah, but the way CNT is fielding him in all the events for every tournament is clearly taking a toll. XX himself said in an interview yesterday that the recently concluded Asian Championship has sapped all his reserve energies.

It is his punishment for losing to Gauzy.

The perils of having a kid exposed too early to the grand stage. Frankly they should take Harimoto out for sometime and let him concentrate on 2024 instead.

Mizutani's wife will be rooting for FZD

 

[Garrison]

Harimoto out, good that Lin still let's us test our speakers...

 

[Danny21312]

This might be the worst tournament of the year so far for non chinese players.. I'm hoping the German Open will be better since both LYJ and Calderano will play so there's a higher chance for upsets

 

[drunix80]

Ok Franz takes 1 after 0-3 down. Time for his comeback magic now..

No comeback this time.But Franz is the brightest European hope for the future. Lin was too solid today.

Lin is hard to play if you can't get him to back off your serves. Fran will do better next time.

 

[Loopadoop]

Lin reflexes too good for Franziska.

Maybe but he is still a top 10 player - we just want a bit too much from him. Time will tell.

Is Mizutani's wife having an affair with FZD ? No wonder why FZD was not on song for last few months....

 

[puyol]

His body language was miserable right from the start, couldn't make myself watch the whole match - who knows what's wrong... Perhaps Swedish sauna just don't work his muscle as well as the good old Japanese onsen.

[Loopadoop]

Rumor - Mizutani's wife is going to restrict his mixed doubles play.

Yeah. Many here seem to have a linear development path extrapolated in their mind, and to benchmark against that curve.

Growth and development are not linear like that. Sometimes it’s the tango, sometimes the paso doble, but there’s also periods of in-place mamba before exploding elsewhere. Or collapsing.

 

[Sali]

Mizu play really good, I like his aggresive mode, probably not enough for FZD. First two sets was close

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

yes during the 2nd set, Mizutani was really on fire, I haven't seen him like this for a long time

but it wasn't enough; Mizutani missed too many opportunities

FZD kinda loves playing him.

By the way, am I the only one that enjoys the fact that Liu Fei is a true chopper? I watch her matches waiting for the once in a blue moon counterloop or even loop and she just wants to fell the trees and ignore me.
