Ying Han vs Mima Ito _ WS QF _ #WTTFrankfurt 2025

And that would make it very, very tricky for Han Ying to play the chop with her short pips. And this one right down the middle. Really an Ole moment. Moving around well, hitting the corners. Tomahawk from time to time as she plays it more square. And so creative in many ways, Ito. And a little bit of fortune here, and it's the first towel in Mima Ito 143. Ten years ago. Come on! A break, please. This is unbelievable. Think about how many players... In the edge of the table, she's racking up those IOUs, Han Ying. Ito's first major international senior title. Not only that, she shut down Patrisa Solja from yesterday, not new to the game. And as much spin as she generated there, it was perfectly read. Mima Ito sets up seven game points. Rare to see Han Ying not even move, but it's happened twice already this game. And a ball that dies at the baseline of the table. So, with about four IOUs in her pocket, Han Ying is going to be looking for more than cash. This is what the comment section on YouTube thinks you should do against lobs. Wow, tough to reach. Hasn't been able to get into it here. If you were a mother, Don't be so competitive. Plays that right. Just for fun, that's perfect insurance right there. Just in case Mima Ito returns to her than most attackers against attackers. Oh my God. Completely opens up the table. Han Ying was about five feet to the right side of the forehand side of the table. And Mima, with authority, crushes that down the line. A little bit more hesitant with the opening topspin. Curious to see if she tries to get attacks into play. With a ball that high, to not finish. Rare escape from Han Ying, but encouraging. How does she do this? It looks so low. Mima Ito is playing such a heavy topspin, that then the chop of Han Ying is popping up. Can she float the chops a bit quicker, Han? Aggressive early, and it worked. I'm a little bit puzzled, and I'll tell you why. Han Ying, typically, would attack to finish the point. An opportunity for Han Ying. Such speed as well, Mima Ito's pushes. But even when Han Ying, ish, maybe. That's the shot. Can you recall one other shot like that? Serves, jumps like nobody's business. A kangaroo off that second bounce. Springs out at the chopper. Top, and the follow through. Chop deep to the middle there. Subtle. That's back to the Mima we know and have seen for the first three games. Slow spin. Wow. The body language almost looked like she had given up. How do you even get into that bag? Can't. Security's too tight around it. The pain. The look from the point before where she was looking up to the sky as if to say, Why me? Get ready for another twiddle. There it is. Black back on forehand, and it doesn't matter. Kill shot with the backhand. What feeling, the brushing backhand. It's really, truly incredible. Out of all the players who were good against choppers, Timo Boll. Ooh. Very interesting. Seven serving ten. Shredder continues shredding. Mima Ito, right on top. And I just can't wait to see the time this match took. This could have been the length of two games against Chunxing Tong, and she's one of the best in the world. Three, five, six, seven. There it is. Those are the numbers on screen.
