Kay Stumper vs Shunsuke Togami | MS R32 | #WTTSaoJose 2026

In the world, it's his best ever result. The challenge is always, this place was absolutely rocking, but Shunpa stayed nice and calm. First two points go in the way of the German. Incredibly fast rallies. A blur when he really gets going. That is a world class point. The Japanese star, Togami is just a year older. Armand whipped it back. 64, so this is his first match action in the singles event. He's got six game points here. And he's responding so well. Shunpa funded it back, so... Oh, there's the fan in backhand, but again. Yeah, he's targeting now. From the body, and he did it there, and he's frustrated himself. To cover this one. Because when he's... Flick of... Reload and ready for another attack. But very good here against the world number 14. Being a lot of fun. Whoever gets through. Togami now has five game points. And he does it in style. And he's made the storm early here, I think, in this third game. Yeah, he's just reacting so... And even when the ball flicks the net, like... Getting one point on the board here. Just start with that. It's now seven unanswered points. Make that... Oh, no. Till he gets to ten. Oh, we don't. Saves the bagel, at least. That'll make him feel a little bit better. Oh, he is fast off that backhand. Six matches. Forehand flick. Three seed in control of this one. Flipped the net as it went over. He apologizes. Firstly, he's got to start predicting the shot to his crossover. Because he's good. Actually, put a forehand on it. Commit to the forehand and crunch it. First time that... Flick of the net again. Just watch the placement from Togami here. Does he go straight into the backhand? Does and he goes into the forehand wing. Said it, he's ranked outside the top 100. One, two, three. Forehand flick of his own. 7-1 up here and this must win. And again, number three seed from Japan. Has eight opportunities. And again, that backhand counter. 14 in the world. The German ranked at 123rd. But make no mistake about it. Finally, it was at 9-0 at one point to Togami. But he's absorbing. 80% success rate on the forehand flick for Togami. Saw the amount of side spin that was on that one of the other German national team members. But what a time to join it. All the glory goes directly to him. And that's what I said about Togami. Played it a million miles an hour. The end of this epic German team spearheaded by Timo Boll. Patrick Francisco was a ourselves in a tug of war in the decider. Tiptoe towards the finish line. And look at the placement. Didn't want to go down. Four points, but he's down to three now. Listen to the roar from Shunsuke Togami. The world number 14 knows he was in a battle there. What a timeout called. Because from that point on to the round of 16, where he will face off against Hong Kong China's Wang Chunting. Brilliant rally to finish this off. Look at the footwork from Togami. Slow spin. Look at the hands. But Togami gets it.
