Oh, it's a brilliant rally. Starting us off, Hinaki Ata.
Oh, she did so well, Hayata, to pick that off.
Hayata, she recognized that the ball was going to be coming in slower.
You have to be brave.
Yeah, there it is. Couldn't go any wider than that.
Seven from the forehand side, both wings.
She has one game point here.
Oh, different shots being used, the heavy spin.
Her jojo takes game number one here
in this round of 32 clash against Hinaki Ata.
Three, look.
And she's starting to dictate.
Forward, bring your feet forward.
Eight.
Lights.
Four, nine, six, ten.
Not done yet.
Use less spin.
And now it's ten all.
Should she do the same again or a short serve?
What a game of table tennis.
Tactics at the highest level, technique at the highest level.
Two points for her.
It's a real mix of side spin.
It's difficult to know where it is.
Oh, was that a head or a side?
Hayata immediately apologized.
Seven.
To the table.
And it gives her now a two games to one advantage.
Let's see, a timeout call sometime soon.
One, two, three.
A change of pace is a thing of beauty there.
She bounced at all.
She did so well, Hayata.
She understands the patterns that she's making.
Seven.
And it's the serve.
The side spin serve, short to the forehand.
And we're leveled up.
Two apiece.
But it's a good change of pace.
Four.
Everything she had.
Speeding up the play.
The disguise on this forehand.
A match where neither deserve to lose.
But it is Hina Hayata, the number 10 seed.
13-11 in the decider.
Who shows her class.
Who shows her mental strength.
