Fair Play first
LYJ went to the concert as well, but he was cruising through. FZD is somehow going through a crisis. Maybe he was simply releasing his stress at the concert. Hope he can get over it.
I took the written umpire exam today. I'm gonna tell the examiners to include this as a question next time.The next installment of can you shout during a point brought to you by Pavade and Sawettabut... https://www.youtube.com/live/bwP05XbNk34?si=rNGuYaDu7CplGVMx&t=12764
I feel that Harimoto has improved over the past months inspired by LYJ's win at Frandfurt championship. It is too early to say that Harimoto will lose to LJK.Excited for the upcoming matches. We might get to see a patented TBH appearance following a Harimoto loss to LJK!
No one knows the future. But people who post here regularly understand the joke I am making.I feel that Harimoto has improved over the past months inspired by LYJ's win at Frandfurt championship. It is too early to say that Harimoto will lose to LJK.
Wait till someone deciphers his serve - his weakness in terms of stability in the topspin rallies will be exposed.WCQ has not lost a single set. How is he so fast on both wings. He almost has no weakness
It is clear to me that he needs to switch to Hurricane on both sides to reconnect with his destiny and fulfill the original prophecies of the TBH.MS R16
Harimoto vs LJK

G2 88, 810, 910 TO for LJK, 1010 high toss long serve from Harimoto, 1412 high toss long serve from Harimoto

Harimoto still can't get over his tendency to play safe when he has the lead, taking risks only when he is trailing.

Hirano vs Ito

Late timeout for Hirano, should have called it at 8-5. Looks like she plans to secure her Olympic seeding the same way she secured her Olympic singles spot.MS R16

Hirano pushes many of Ito's backspin serve to her short FH into the net. Must be very spinny.
G3 01, 31, 32, 42, 45, 65 sideline edge for Hirano, 75, 76, 86, 87 dead net for Ito, 117 Ito changed to pendulum serve
Ito is starting to run out of options.
G4 10 Hiano is serving a lot of half-long backspin hook serve to Ito's BH and Ito tried to FH steparound to no avail, 40, 41, 51, 52, 62, 63, 83, 86, 96, 98 TO for Hirano, 108, 1011, 1111, 1112, 1212, 1213, 1413, 1416
G5 04, 14, 111
Hirano eased a bit after 83, dropping the next 3 points fairly quickly, 2 the same way by being moved from side to side. Should've called TO there.
