Mizutani said Harimoto was a deserving winner, but promised to come back stronger.
“I’m frustrated to end without offering everything I can, but I think he’ll carry my share of the load as well (at the rest of this tournament),” the 27-year-old said. “I couldn’t find any openings to exploit from start to finish.
“He was genuinely strong. It was the first meeting but each of his skills was at a higher level than I expected, it was a comprehensive defeat. I need to develop further for his progress too, I can’t retire for some time.”
