Right
between
the two,
good work.
2, 0.
That's a good finish.
Robbie mashed that.
4, 2,
8, 5.
Not managing to get that back.
So this
is over.
12,
0.
Oh,
couldn't
finish
it off.
Oh, played that late.
I think just a bit of miscommunication there.
Oh,
good
shot.
Just got bunched up together.
15, 16,
18, 17.
That's a good shot from Wang Chieh-Lin,
that sets up two game points for the Chinese Taipei Pair.
Very quick to pounce on that,
Wang Chieh-Lin, and so they take the very,
very tight first game, 21-19.
Yeah, good
attack
from the
Japanese.
Had a look at that line, didn't he?
Yumashita,
good redirect.
That seemed to
take Wang Qilin
by surprise,
Okumura's shot.
An easy finish for Wang Chieh-Lin.
Still can of course,
but sometimes
you just give
that little opening.
Good shot there
from Joe.
Crucial point
this one you feel
in the context
of the second game.
And no surprises. It's our longest rally in a while
and Wang Chieh-Lin, excellent work from him.
Does he got that in?
He has. Wang Chieh-Lin
with that backhand
down the line,
but that is well out. So
Wang Chieh-Lin had been instrumental in that comeback.
Well, the concerning thing from the perspective of
lead a fight back
like he did in
the previous game
with Chou Shang-Chieh.
Five in a row.
Well, a little broken string is a
small price to pay to end that run.
13.
Snapped up
there, Qiu.
Good
defending.
This is a great rally.
And it's the Japanese, they come out on top, Wakamura,
the finishing touch, it was all Yamashita before
that, easy finish, and it sets up match point,
what a brilliant third game it has
been for Wakamura and Yamashita, well half
of this pairing got to the final last year,
they've been excellent since they've
been paired together earlier in 2026,
and the Japanese public would love to see one
of their own, a pair of their own win.
A men's doubles title for the first time here, the Kumamoto Masters.
