    It's Tsuneyama in French Open last year.

    Back in the times when Momota keeps defeating Victor , I predicted that Victor is more dangerous than Anthony Ginting.

    Because I could see that Victor's problem is not his skill, his physical power, his defence, his attacking, his foot work, his tactical awareness. It is just his patience and mental strength.

    Patience and mental strength can be worked on. But physical damages and limitations is hard to overcome.

    Has Momota's body (internal and external, Incl eye movements) become more fragile as a result of the accident? It will take time to discover. Recovery is another matter. This is a journey he must go through alone and perhaps with those he trust.

    Problem is the longer he takes to assess the state of his physical body, the harder it might be for him to get back. But most of all, I hope Momota will keep his love for the sport and his belief that he can become a champion.

    Nishimoto's problem is also his patience and mental strength. But Nishimoto has another issue. His ability to tolerate pressure and to make quick decisions.

    These are things that can be worked on.

    I really think Nishimoto can achieve a lot more if he is willing to work on a few things.

    Will be interesting to watch the next match between Momota and Nishimoto.

    Badminton is Momota, not vice versa. No Momota - no badminton. I hope he will realize it someday. Better sooner than later. Better later than never.

    No, this is the new video today. I watched the video clip already.

    But, I cannot post this here.

    WOW!! Litterally says 2022 right there, guitar Jones knows all the chords!!

    What a catch! Where did you get the original video if I might ask?

    So cool to see Momota returning to what works well for him. That jersey not only looked bloody rock and roll but the racket will probably help him quite a bit.

    The 77 Pro looks more orange and the red/orange doesn't extend all the way down to the bottom.

    Somethings sketchys going on I tell you that - They were also testing a demo "zforce II" a month or two ago FYI!!!.

    It seems to me that it is 77 Shine Red. (look at the red color that prolong to T-joint)

    You are indeed very much right. Looks like the 77 Shine red.

    From the very secret movie terrynguyen121988 inboxed me, it feels like KM has indeed adapted and set his heart ablaze (as Quentin11 puts it).

    HIGH PROBABiLITY THAT RETIREMENT PLANS ARE HALTED!?! :D:D

    In Japan the S/J League season commenced yesterday, with corporate teams battling out for the top spot in the nation. As suspected, Momota has given priority to playing in the League, rather than participating in the Hylo Open. Yesterday's match will not have troubled him, but today he is slated to face Nishimoto Kenta of the JTEKT Stingers, a totally different level of opponent altogether.

    For anyone in Japan, S/J League matches are livestreamed on JSports. Some, no doubt, will find their way onto YouTube.

    First time I hope Momota win Nishimoto.

    About the video, I hope we can see it on youtube. Because video belongs to Jsport so that it's not suitable to post here. So sorry.

    Nishimoto beat Momota in straight games, 21-18 and 21-16. As it was a three-match contest, though, NTT-East prevailed over the JTEKT Stingers, in that the corporate team won both of the other (MD) matches. Unfortunately, this particular tie-up was not livestreamed on JSports, hence, I have no idea just how well or badly Momota played.

    The highlights of yesterday's match against Sato Yuki of Marusugi are available on YouTube at the following site. Momota features in match no. 2, at around the 1:35 minute mark.

    I don't think an incoming retired person will change his racket.

    He was trying something new, just to match with the color on his clothes ?

    No, clearly, when he was in white clothes, he didn't use 99 pro white to match.

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    His clothes was 7.

    The racket was 77.

    Coincidence ???
