Xu Xin vs Tomokazu Harimoto | 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals Highlights (1/4)
...Moto to start with the serve, love to all.
The same response.
The Shu-Shin show has begun!
Kurashima in the corner.
Serving for Shu-Shin down.
...the way he started.
Absolutely amazing.
We'll be playing the Aung Jin Quynh in the next round.
...he's tough to deal with.
Very tough to call without a camera.
The umpires have a very bad view.
...where there's...
...top players make it look easy.
Keeping top spin on with a short...
...for him versus pretty much any foreigner.
...help off the top of the net...
...instantane...
...will be introduced to the game.
Bottle challenge serve...
...racket in the whip of the wrist.
...step ahead of time.
What's likely to happen?
Oh, shush!
...go cross-court.
...still would take a lot.
...table's been quite effective against many.
...wrong side of the table this...
...break...
...more clever...
...spin...
...second serve.
...game point for Shu-Shin.
...of the hand holding the racket...
...the racket.
...not easy.
White bowl...
...and the timing early enough...
...5-0.
...far from the table.
...longer side of half-long...
...the long serve does it!
Fast and long to the forehand...
...barely edging that last one out.
...15-13.
...the backhand side to bring Shu-Shin back in.
Oh, inside-out forehand!
...knew that.
...gonna be tough.
...be able to come close against Shu-Shin since 2017.
...top of the net quick.
...do the right thing.
...is gonna have to play bold.
...over the table.
...on the table.
...game.
...has him in the lead.
...avoid rallies with Shu-Shin.
...4-1.
...the quality of shot coming in.
...can't play over the table for the kill.
...just half-long.
...seated down.
...patriotic in terms of being a team player.
...Moto is still one of the great threats to the Chinese dominance.
...and the backhand dismissive.
...11...
...Kazuharimoto on the back of an 11-3 victory.
...Tennis World watching, wondering,
is this the day for Tomokazu Harimoto?
...still possible.
There's the...
...up a little bit again.
Shu-Shin, tough to receive.
Oh, double...
...tight.
We're gonna see a bottle challenge serve.
Again, staying on top of the bounce crucial.
One spin, softer ball, and that's the opportunity.
...Moto against home crowd, 7-5 in the lead.
Big backhand to get back.
Perfect setup.
Harimoto...
...Moto to go up 3-2.
...expect the scoreboard to look the way it does now.
Shu-Shin down 2-3.
Double happiness one.
...well under pressure.
...comes out and he performs.
...near the table.
Keep Shu-Shin behind.
...shot to make sure the ball comes down.
Fast and aggressive...
...love to tie it up now.
Right into the body, hits hard.
...shirt.
Just down by three.
Second serve here for Shu-Shin.
It's always tough being distracted.
...only the hook and shot after the...
...short side...
...Cloudwalker.
Fast long serve and...
...with the serves, love all.
Quick backhand...
...meaning worse off than Shu-Shin.
Harimoto...
...can get more arm...
...rather than wrist on the ball.
A lot of work here...
...to pull it out.
...step around it...
...tough to handle.
World number five.
Good setup and...
...Kito, where you at?
...side one...
...what a save!
I thought for...
...serves well to set up the third ball.
But not the same here...
...the parallel receive here...
...second-deuce point.
...five.
