Dang Qiu vs Oh Junsung | Extended Highlights | MS QF | #WTTYokohama 2026

Even in his early career trajectory. Let's find out now. Best of seven, remember. In the match, nice and early. Don't let Dunn get on top of him. I think it's important, but he's got that long. He just has to feel his opponent out. He has to get the grips with the match early. Doesn't necessarily need to win the first or second game, but he has to develop his game plan. He has to see what's working and not working early in this matchup. He's got a great all-around game. So solid, Dunn. Now when we talk about Deng Chao, I remember thinking back to his speed around the table is impressive, but he always just seems to look like he has a lot of time on the ball. We know how quick the ball is moving, but look at him. Prime example. Deng Chao plays with speed out to his backhand and he just looks unfazed. There's a backhand. The thing about Deng Chao is that there's a consistency of performance. That's what you've got to get past because he's going to give you nothing. That came to an end at the hands of Felix Lebrun. That's not even considering the other side of the draw where we know Felix Lebrun won in Chongqing. And that one does not find the playing surface. I love the way Deng Chao is wearing those long socks, compression socks. It's a compression play there just to be secure in those lower limbs. Not much time for Ojun Sung to breathe. Deng Chao, soon as he goes back from the table, you can see him just gone. He's busy, is Dunn. Is that quicker to react? Wow, it looks as if he might just... Jun Sung is what you might call a... For a two-game lead for Deng Chao, which he gets a little bit of a skid there, but he's all right as he pushes off. All that before you get to the middle of October. Yeah, this is our purple. Foot down a little bit more. I think there's a fine balance between what he needs to do now. Most importantly, keep the ball on the table. Trying to figure out what he needs to do here. And sometimes in the corner, it's important to, you know, pour out the negative. No way does that one come back. He's almost out the door there, Jun Sung. And this is what Deng has done so well, literally and figuratively. And he's not just... The game. And there it is. Maybe we are seeing a shift. It's the sort of putting we heard on the footwork. There's a better feeling about that one. Yeah, always progression to this quarterfinal. Kick up the proverbial pants just to get himself going. And there's certainly something to be said for having a difficult route. Easy for Oh Jun Sung, but two 3-0 victories needed a few difficult moments. All the way to the wall so many times in his career and he fights. Oh, under the table from Oh Jun Sung. And it had a little bit too much secret sauce on it for Deng Chao. And that sees us all square after four games in this topsy-turvy quarterfinal. Took him two hours for that. A little flick there. Oh, beautifully done. I love the way he sways so comfortably side to side. As a brief has to all the umpires to keep up the pace of play. The pace of play, not being quick enough. While he still has the lead, just to try and maintain it. Well done, but it's done. But this time he comes through and this time it's the German camp that takes a flick off the net from Jun Sung there. And as a result, wrong footed his opponent. He likes a little hand change halfway through a point. We've seen that a couple of times from him now. No games dropped, John. We notice Oh Jun Sung was part of that famous five you mentioned. Yeah, it looks unlikely, doesn't it? Just such is the caliber of the competition here. If you do and you win it, good luck to you. And that would be an impressive performance. Becomes three. Into the table he goes. One of the more aesthetic shots to watch, I would say. Oh, that was a good one as well. Difficult ball to accept going by you from your opponent. Again, yeah. Just wanted to avoid that prospect, but he can't because that is played nicely into an uncomfortable area. In the seventh. Typically does better. 61% success rate to only 41% for his opponent if they're in a final game. Oh, it's in. Oh, that could be huge somehow. You're gone. I predict it goes down to the wire. I think we've been at the wire for a while in this game. This is turning into a must make one of these serves at least. Oh Jun Sung, he knows how big this little run is. Seven of the last eight points, Gavin, at this stage. Finally, that run comes to... But well played, Oh Jun Sung. The young Korean. He gets a ball in there. That was fascinating. Dunn keeps buying into this. Points back to back. Say something about down to the wire. He's missed it. And that's two points dropped on serve. It's match point to Dan Cho. To pull out when you're staring at a match point. That is what this young man is all about. Talk about bravery. Look at the angle, the speed. 3-0, 10-0. Is what it sometimes takes. Personality personified. Dang, putting in all the work with the footwork here. Running around with a forehand, but nonchalant backhand finish from Oh Jun Sung. A young man with a bright future ahead has just produced three or four at least sublime points.
