Miu Hirano vs Satsuki Odo | WS QF | #WTTAstana 2026

On her first serve, but she'll warm up, don't worry. What a serve receipt! She's got to get into the rally and try and limit then the damage that Odo can do early. Like this. First point on the board for this. Again, second point earned. Easier said than done. We'll just wait for one of the clean in ball kids to get back on the stool. Oi! It's like Hashimoto! What?! Not even Odo could get to that one! That is a ridiculous... That's heavy spin. Odo, you are going to eat something big. So you gotta face the storm and try and... Serve that's won us so many points outright. First game on the board for Satsuki Odo. Makes that serve for the first time. And that's the issue. There's the width. Again, it's the width. Ooh! Odo went either a door or a baby. Oh, it might be a child. Miyukihara. Who won earlier on. Comeback victory over Honoka Hashimoto. Bonge Di versus Li Yunjun. Did a great matchup as well. But Odo's just... That speed is incredibly fast, but he's just catching the ball with such good feeling. And look at this. And she's targeting the crossover. Game points now. Oh, that is a wonderful backhand. Back within... So hard once Odo gets forced back there. This is... There we go. Odo with a tricky serve as good as the challenge was. The late surge from Hirano. Odo away from the table and also open up space down the line. This tricky server and Odo as well. Super aggressive when she's played backspin over the table. She's not played anything passively. She's absolutely loaded it like that. But again, it's the width around the tape. Serves under a spell as well. She's got to watch for the long, heavy backspin push. There it is. And then when you serve... And even that time. Yeah, and Odo immediately... Semi-final. There it is. There's the width. The fast one that's coming away. However much spins on it. It's either loaded or it's not. She got caught. Yeah, she taps the forehead. It was the wrong thing. She should have... Just watch Odo's racket. She predicts what's coming her way. Yeah, it's way too good. The tornado defeats the hurricane. Satsuki Odo.
