Darko is a really high quality player - Harimoto has limitations, but there is no reason Darko can't beat him. Harimoto is not that much better especially since Darko improved his backhand countering game.
What I meant there are players who can adapt to the game, who can change the strategy if things go wrong. Even Ma Long sometimes uses BH service. I do not see any changes in strategy or new options in game watching Harimoto. Sometimes it is easier to walk around instead of breaking through the wall.
