Harimoto wins the point: CHOOOOLAAAAAYYYY!!! Harimoto wins the point with net: sorry, I am very sorry mister

By shouting after every point Xu Xin is actually honoring Harimoto. It's saying he's treating him as an equal.

I still believe HARIMOTO can win... He's all in, committing every shot, and he's not afraid of anything, certainly not of XU Xin's TCHOLLAYs...

 

[Ilia Minkin]

Tchooolllayyyy

Haha I wonder if Qin Zhijian explicitly instructed him to tcho.

 

[Persistence TT]

xu xin trying to distract annoy harimoto with some ma lin receving mind tricks? he suddenly stopped his pre receiving routine and harimoto served anyway

 

[sanavasaraja]

Harimoto... ice cold... what are my eyes witnessing!

Xu Xin is in serious sh*t and you can see it lol, he is trying everything in his power to interrupt and disrupt Harimoto without getting a yellow card. Dirty! What are you doing you bully, the boy is only 13

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

come on HARIMOTO, TCHOOOOLAYYYYY !!!!!! 11-6 !!!!!! YESSSS you can win it !!!! I believe in HARIMOTO !!!!!

 

[yoass]

Yes, he can win, that Harimoto.

1:1 w0w0w I wouldn't have believed Harimoto to win a game here, some months ago at India Open he got demolished by Ovtcharov

Ovtcharov was very hot on that day and Harimoto a bit nervous. But he's had several big games now, and his confidence and abilities keep going up week after week. I believe he can get XU Xin today, with the crowd behind him

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

only because LIN played against XU Xin in the previous round and ZJK played despite being unfit.

It doesn't matter to me how it happened. It is better than having 5 or 6 CNT members in the top 8. It makes things much more interesting.

Go Harimoto!!!

gg wp. Fan too strong for Koki. Harimoto is going to throw everything he has at XX, but he shouldn't really stand a chance. Anything else would be insane

Unbeliever! Hold his beer! ...oh wait

 

[allencorn]

XX seems much better on touch shots. Harimoto misses a lot of the soft ones, unless he crushes it.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

HARIMOTO will win it !!!! absolutely no lack of power against XU Xin, he can hit hard enough to put him meters away from the ball !!!

 

[Tiktian Chan]

Chinese commentary says Xu Xin's rhythm changes in the previous set were quite key.

I noticed he seemed to hit some soft, offspeed stuff that Harimoto missed badly.

he changed the key of his tchooley, he's throwing a lower pitch so he can tchooolay louder...

 

[Persistence TT]

haha XX eventually has gotten to bookstyle TT short fh position and then toy with harimoto, harimoto's reach because of his height is definitely a disadvantage

 

[yoass]

I kinda sorta think XX's sideway shuffle celebration upon winning great points looks cute and cuddly.

As it should be. Part of the reason of Harimoto winnings in his career is that their rivals didn't consider him a threat because it was a kid...until it was the last game and at that point it was too late to win.
