Not necessarily. Both are good attackers and Hashimoto is a better player so she might force the offense a bit more. But whoever thinks it makes more sense to conserve energy might just push until expedite so yhat the match is on expedite throughout.
He was upset with being faulted on his serve and banged his blade hard onto the table to the point of damage. Got disqualified. They have to replace the table for the next match. He then proceeds to kick the barrier creating a hole in it and was shown a red card.
I swear i also heard him say “puta madre” not sure tho
I watched the last two sets (well only one set and 2 points because he got defaulted after being down 0-2 in the fifth). He was called repeatedly for his toss. I don't see anything wrong with his toss. He tossed it up and hit the ball on the way down. Yes you can complain that the height is not high enough but if you use the net as a reference (you have to toss at least 6 inches high and the net is 6 inches tall), then his serves are legal. The ball definitely dropped at least 6 inches from the height of the toss to the time he hits it with his bat.
The problem though is that people sometimes measure this by ball separation from the palm and this makes the serve look bad when the palm goes up a little with the ball. It is why Timo often gets called out for low tosses even though he almost always passes on computer review. Same with Dima.
