Okay, so Chinese MD took the first match. The Japanese MD were too nervous in the third game and therefore led to their self-destruction.
ZN/FHF is good, but i don't think they can beat setiawen/ahsan in Rio. Even against LYD/YYS, it's 50:50... I think it best that ZN just concentrate on XD only.
Every time JPN scores a few consecutive points, the umpire allowed CHN's request for breaks and JPN losses a few more points.
The service judges have been mostly accurate, and I'm really glad they are brave enough to call the fault. It's been a long time coming. So many illegal serves I've seen over the years that have never been faulted.
IMO, the 2 misses at the net in G3 cost the japanese dearly.. it should have been a winner but well...
It's tough for them playing against the opponent, the crowd, the umpire and finally the service judge. Officials, lately have more say of the outcome of the matches.
