Kenta Nishimoto ( 西本拳太 )

In my opinion, Kenta Nishimoto has improved quite a bit, when he took G1 convincingly from Angus Ng, I thought he would cruise to victory, but, I somewhat underestimated Angus who, admittedly, has improved even more under Du Pengyu's tutelage (and sparring, I supposed).

I don't think so. The peak of Nishimoto was in 2018, in Kong Hong Open.

At that time he played like Momota's style and can reach 75-80% Momota's performance.
 
I've just heard that Nishimoto left Tonami club at 31 May, does anyone have any information more ?
From what I gathered, it's just a very short announcement on Tonami Badminton website (http://www.tonami-badminton.jp/news/news20200601.html). He will go independent as Okuhara had done, and continue chasing the ticket to Olympic as before.

Hmm then Tonami only has Kanta Tsuneyama left as a (reliable) singles player in team competition :confused:

I hope it will be a good choice. Nishimoto need something new for his career.
 
Nishimoto lost at the first round.

I'm quite disappointed, but I think his game is ok.

Nishimoto should treasure every single point.

He lost 2-3 points unfortunately by mistake (clear shoot was out or wrong in-out judge) and this can lead to win or lose a game.
