Nope, I don't mean that Momota has a small, fixed syllabus. It's only targeting at Momota's defense. The issue is, if you couldn't attack Momota and attack his predictive defensive shots, it's very hard to win against Momota. Momota executed a different strategy against Axelsen, but observe his defensive shots again. Chen Long plays like a robot most of the time. You have to be better than a robot to win Chen Long. That's where some of the more creative players have an advantage against Chen Long, e.g. Viktor Axelsen, Lin Dan, Lee Chong Wei, Kenta Momota

Of course she can pronounce it easier. Many European languages will do the same. Chinese is vastly different and graded as one of the most difficult languages for an English speaker to learn.
Not looking good for Nishimoto. Make or break for Japan. If he doesn't win this, even if MD2 wins, CHN will eventually win in the end.
Jp shots to back court haven't really reach back court. Lots of lift end up in mid or mid-back court around double service line. He will need more control of force if he doesn't want to end up being smash again and again by SYQ
