Wang Hao reads Mizutani like a book. No wonder Fan Zhendong has never struggled with Mizutani especially with Wang Hao as his top coach

Wang Hao - best style of all Chinese Top-player.

Mizutani defends in not right time, makes block and steps back, it's clear sign for opponent to attack, he must continue attack.

If mizutani works on his forehand and short game, he could totally attack a lot more and really pose a threat to the top chinese players

王皓王打球很美。

3 levels above.

@iLaugh1ng I agree. Mitzunani has to become the attacker in order to beat the very best. He has a good defense but needs to balance his game style between defense and offense.

mmmmm Joo actually attacks more than Mizutani

it's not about the rubber. wh switched to skyline 3 #21 type blue sponge. he still beating ppl like before. if u've ever used skyline 3 #21, control is nice, spin is great close up but lacks power compared to hurricane or tenergy. it's perfect for light touch but slow for mid to long distance

-.- the heck keep the cam steady!

He wins rare top3 chineese and he is Boll :)

@iLaugh1ng That is a technical problem...not mindset A lot of problems are simply technical problems...Wang Hao's control is better so Mizutani cannot top spin first. Also, the first top spin from Mizutani following the backspin is not powerful enough. In fact, being able to execute the first top spin following the backspin with much more power is the definitive character of Chinese players..

Ma Lin is not in top form now, i meant top 3 chineese

这就是差距吧，水谷隼一直都很刻苦努力但是自大的态度、极端自恋的性格以及没有打磨成炉火纯青的技术让其最终难以在中国乒乓面前获得胜利。就算有也是昙花一现。

@Vladimir1354 That's why he has already beaten Ma Lin and Hao Shuai^^. Maybe their nationality should be withdrawn ^^

@FengQQ 希望啊...可是王皓遇到張科科還是有危險!

@citylida 支持王皓ko張繼科!!

@lesckh U sleep and never wake up

I think that Mizutani changed his serve/serve style, could affected on his whole playing style..

水谷的教练好像是吉田海伟？

:)

@Kayres9 agreed! it's so annoying!-.-

Não vejo que o jogo do Mizutani é defensivo. O que acontece que o estilo chinês é mais ofensivo prevalecendo-se no jogo. Neste jogo Wang errou pouco no ataque.

@iLaugh1ng I'm tired of hearing Mizutani has a defensive mindset...He did NOT voluteer to defend

水谷隼要加油

王の方が一枚も二枚も上手だったな

too much grunting

JM FH is to weak to win chineese
