Wang Chuqin vs Sora Matsushima _ SF-MT _ 2025 Asian Team Championships

We've seen this before in this competition but left-hander versus left-hander. How different is this? How different was quite a start. It's going to be speed and twist and turns will be the defining element. Very very difficult. But say a right-hander facing left-hander of course that's a challenge for the right-hander. Oh what a shot. You can see some patterns already forehand to backhand. Now it's currently back. So yes you know it's so different now. Left-hander versus left-hander. Oh he went. Such high-level tournament that generally players warm up. Sometimes somebody receives the serve, misses the serve. Sometimes forehand. And that was a point that... Oh well it's the best plan for the job. Keep the mind, they know the pattern. If you can just focus on the fact that don't get too many left-handers to practice against. How do you prepare? Yet Wang to serve 8-6. What a hit. I would still say that Saura has a pretty good backhand as compared to Wang. Such look that Chuchin has. Saura to serve. Oh just climbed on him. Point there Sachin. A beautiful strawberry by Wang Chuchin. Oh it was a beautiful... Hits the net and Wang Chuchin has won the first game. The world number And you got to put for your nation and something what Wang Chuchin is doing this time right. A forehand dominated match on both the winners coming of both forehands. Wang to serve. Oh they got to put them deep in the backhand there. This kind of deficit in this match. And that deficit grows bigger. Oh it was a much more younger to him. That was a heavy duty four and backed up by the heavy duty four. Because it's got the stars. A galaxy actually here at the Kalinga Stadium. Fans and Dong. And he's obviously played with them. Won the team event at the Olympics alongside them. Making the score 7-4. You can hear. This time it was game. Oh that was intelligence at play. Now here's a chance for him to equalize. He equalizes. He equalizes. They are now 4-11. So he was down after three games 2-1. And then he bounced back 11-8. Team mates and the coach. There's something wrong. Well not for very long. Using his experience to come up. Oh he was back to a piece. It had taken the lead yet again. Into the net. He doesn't take a risk there. Puts the ball in the center. Too much of grunt for this one point. With that right a challenge that has been thrown towards the world number one. Oh and that's gone up the serve. Yes it was a different one. This time though. That was decisive. Oh he blocked three backhand. Timeout. He gets that point. A spin. Cool down a little bit. Because he's got to play the fourth match of course. What happened there? He wanted to go for the fourth. Absolutely and with that confidence. I would definitely with so much. And Tora has three game points right now. I'll hold you to that. Let's see. They have opted not to go for the timeout. There was a signal earlier. And now it's a deuce. Signal for timeout. Wow. You would notice that we're just watching this match. Tora has got this game point and he's done it. Japan are leading 2-1 in the second. Missing on to that. Soft receive. Wang came back. Could be costly. Like Wang who more depends on the forehand in the initial part of the rallies. Oh beautiful block by Tora. Right into the body. Incredible match right here. And I've got to tell you this Sachin spot here. Quickly. Because he's getting a standing ovation. Difficult to predict. What happened yesterday with Benyamin Farazi. Anything is possible. Emerged from the anger. Tora missing for that timeout. You didn't take it in that last game. All right he won. But now he gets to the Wong. I could expect in this particular game. Wong needs that support. He's just raising his spirits a little bit. But at the moment the hunter that would arrest him. How are you questioning my dominance? Okay whatever the rank is doesn't matter. Both the Japanese players receiving yellow cards. This time Tora is going to serve. Wang Chuqin. All this game out of Tora. Tora looks disappointed. He knows that he is a challenger. We've got our breath back. And now we are ready to be enthralled again. This was the surprise exactly. The long serve on the forehand. One all. If you ask of a player even if marginally ahead makes the difference. The temperament has dwelled. But what a winner. Two all. It's two all now. He misses. Gone out. Matsushima at 3-2. This time Matsushima misses the forehand. Three all. Wong to serve. So the Japanese contingent that's present in the VIP stand. They do get off their chairs. They will get off their chairs again for that one. I still think there's more fire in this contest. Well at the moment there's one man firing and that's Tora. Wong without a timeout there. Forget the timeout. If this is happening why would you want to take a timeout? The great entertaining show that you are putting up here. Wong just nested the champion team. The leaders of the table tennis world. And he misses the forehand. Misses the forehand. Misses the forehand. Is that player knows what is he doing. You can see so absolutely on to the toes. The Japanese contingent is yet again on its. It's beating faster. You don't know what's going to happen. And it's going to be match point. The youngster from Japan has triumphed against the world number one.
