Wasn't it 3-1?

Yup, it was 3-1 and that 1 was quite one-sided too before the tides turned.

I watch on YT using VPN pointed at Europe.

Youtube with VPN pointed at Canada. It might be on ESPN3 in the US, but the only reason I bought VPN was to watch WTT matches so I am already paying subscription fee in my head given their (WTT's) complete inability to think about their fans when making these stupid decisions around licensing broadcast agreements.

If Jorgic isn't jet-lagged, Alexis has gone up a level for sure.

What was funny that it started off just "free" on YT but w/o sound. Then the broadcast went off a few times still without sound. I finally just switched it offf from my Ipad and started watching it on smart TV. The sound came back and we were able to watch the Timo match. However, all streaming disappeared if I tried to use Ipad/Iphone to look for it (but the smart TV streaming had been on since the beginning so it was still playing w/o VPN). Very odd.

Togami: I can't be fixed...

and being a JNT core, it's even crazier to think that either nobody in the coaching staff has pointed out this deadly mindset, or Togami himself is too stubborn to change. Somehow being the core member with the lowest adaptability doesn't even alarm him one bit.

Recently, I've watched more of Tanaka's game, he's like a slower version of Harimoto (clear loophole on fh, construct his game mostly with his bh). Though his matches are not as please to watch, he has a clear serve/receive strategy and fluid adjustment between defense/attack

Lily up next vs. Yuan Jia Nan.

I'm using Opera Browser -> VPN -> Europe in case you're geo-blocked.

Woah. Zhang just blew 4 match points including a sitter on 10-9 that she sent off the table.

Then was down a match point on her own and I thought for she wouldn't be able to get her mind back in it.

Instead she wins the next 3 pts for her best win in a long time. Great match and mental fortitude from Lily who has been improving a lot this year!

 

[dingyibvs]

Wow Lily took it to Yuan! She played so well!

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

As long as Lily was able to handle YJN's serves, she was winning a majority of the rallies. And clearly her backhand was superior to YJN. Had to keep her composure at the end after going from up 10-6 to deuce. Great win for USA's own Lily Zhang!

 

[turbozed]

Assar playing on God mode in that 2nd game against Harimoto. Never seen him so in the zone. HT couldn't get a ball past him no matter what he tried.


The rallies in this match are insane. Really entertaining stuff!

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Fraser mentioned that both Lily and Adriana have been accepted in Chinese Super League. I think they also both played in India's UTT League last season.

Riley is still poor at discerning which way the match is heading.

 

[zeio]

In G2, Hirano played too many shots to Meshref's BH, the quality of which was just right for the latter to rip right back to Hirano's wide FH. From Zhang Cheng's gesture, he likely told Hirano to send more shots to Meshref's middle, which she did in late G2.

 

[Cordell]

SHW looks completely lost in G3, that's just sad after how close G1 was.
