Jia Nan Yuan (袁嘉楠) vs Satsuki Odo (小塩さつき) | ITTF World Cup 2025

Well above par performance for Jianan to have got this far. She's 4-3 up here in the first. Right down the line but apparently... Undisputed winner. You wonder sometimes whether it will ever... Game point now. Now here we are in the knockout phase. Taking the first game against a much higher ranked opponent. Nice. Just soft hands. Concentrate. There's a lot of attention on what's going on on the men's table. Three point. We're in the third game. Really get into a rhythm here. Frustrating for the player that's trailing because... There's not much for you to get your teeth into here. See if she can claw her way back to parity. We'll get this second game. Short rallies. Lots of errors. Final stage of the group. Choki Oda. Player to play against. She's got a pretty good breakaway. Third game but it was mightily close. I've seen. Just as likely as her challenge. Galaxy Arena here at Macau. Wishful thinking. Lovely change of direction. Two games each. See you tomorrow over the weekend. Semi-finals and final. Must be around the loss we've had in the tournament. There were, as I said, a couple of games similar to this yesterday.
