Quadri shouldn't feel too bad. Sora Matsushima has been playing really well beating players like a surging Freitas, LSS, Cho Seungmin, and Dima.
Quadri was up 1-0, 10-7 in game 2 and proceeded to lose 5 points. He is going to feel bad enough.

Close calls for Hayata and Harimoto both winning by the minimum in the 5th game.

Hayata timing looked a bit off. Maybe these back to back to back tournaments taking their toll.

Harimoto had to take an injury timeout and was really speeding through the 5th game. Showed off a limp after the game was over. Whatever was bothering him at the Asian Games appears to be back.

Even though he's so laid back and doesn't look engaged, Matsushima was easily the best player of the four out there. His placement was excellent and plays within himself allowing Miwa to flourish, and poor Hayata was often on the receiving end of his loop bombs. If he keeps this up, why not consider him for the 3rd player to play doubles in XD and Men's Teams doubles in Paris.

I hope I'm wrong, but Hayata seems tired to me. I guess the thinking is there's just a few WTT tournaments left in the year, and she probably won't be entering Paris Trial #6 so she's got nothing to lose.
