FULL MATCH | Sato / Hashimoto vs Qian / Chen | WD SF |

[@MoritzLenz]

What a game, love a successful, defensively playing pair. We see this quite rarely these days, but it's awesome to watch!

[@plddad]

The best Table Tennis games I have seen in years. I was amazed by the recovery rate after offensive hits followed by defensive chop

[@chosett]

What a match, the Japanese duo have done it again, defeating another Chinese pair. Sato and Hashimoto are so underrated but they are currently the world's best doubles players.

[@tobiasdrees9924]

i become an absolut Fan of these two ladys, Sato and Hashimoto for their defensive play at its best. so beautiful to watch.❤🥰. never watched table tennis in this intensity before.

[@Peace123-sp1ej]

They could also counter-attack and when they did, they won most of the points!

[@tobiasdrees9924]

@@Peace123-sp1ej yeah, that means you have to have much feeling for the shots, the racket and the ball. i think with a fast racket it is much more difficult for the offensive player to reach that level of feeling and touch

[@robertrowles5450]

This one is even better than the last victory, because Chen and Qian had a plan, and were a lot more patient than Wang and Sun. Bravo Sato and Hashimoto. Irresistible chopping and attacking. Please win the tournament.

[@markusp.7333]

I think I've finally found my favorite Team 🤩 Incredibly strong performance by the ladies Hashimoto and Sato 💪 I would never have thought that “choppers” could play so great 👏

[@dolores7589]

Omg these ladies are everything. So enjoyable.

[@kolasong8350]

感謝 Sato / Hashimoto的出線，讓世人見識到原來桌球(乒乓)競賽，可以是如此兼具力量、韻動、默契、與頑抗性的藝術美感。衷心期待她們可以奪冠，(大藤組 亞錦賽剛拿過 )。 如果Sato / Hashimoto能拿下這次年終賽冠軍，也許能"鼓勵"她們再堅持奮鬥四年至2028奧運期，畢竟倆人都26歲"高"齡了。

[@英豪杜-o9m]

奧運無女雙項目

[@Altal794]

These 2 japanese pair are unstoppable 😮😮😮

[@codigobase.]

Honoka Hashimoto Spectacular player🏓👏🏻🇯🇵

[@Noorlander-ji1ok]

How can we not regret the almost disappearance of high-level defenders when we see the expertise and spectacle offered by these two fantastic Japanese players?

[@robertrowles5450]

Don't say that to the ITTF, they'll change the ball again.

[@matthiaskruger556]

wow, amazing game! love watching defenders 🔥

[@user-me4ds5mc8e]

Love watching Sato/Hashimoto so much, where are the pimple haters now? There serves must be so hard to read too apparently. Beating the best Chinese players as defenders is an amazing achievement.

[@tcejorpdiculdominations3109]

such a classic matchup. attack vs defense

[@MASA-qx8ud]

佐藤選手と 橋本選手のフォアとバックの攻撃は とてもカットマンのものとは思えない。

[@tensinoper4226]

Thanks Adam

[@てんちゃん-m5q]

日本が誇るダブルカットマン。各々が相棒の立ち位置を確認しながら自陣の守備範囲全域を満遍なくカバーする。ペアを組んで長いので、息が合っている。

[@いたジイ]

完勝でした…！❢素晴らしい!!相手ペアはアタマの中がグチャぐちゃぐちゃでした…？？!!!

[@ほりっち-p5m]

HASHIMOTO🇯🇵SATO🇯🇵🗾

[@piing-poong7650]

Hat down for this chopper pair. Sensei

[@jigangjin7818]

這是迄今為止，最精彩的一場球。

[@xonx209]

These choppers are playing an ideal strategy: use chop to cause your opponents to give you a slow return, then attack back.

[@佐藤輝行]

眞に芸術的な卓球で感動しました！佐藤/橋本ペアーをこれから応援して行きます。 今の技術とパーフォーマンスを維持して行けば、今後の世界卓球、五輪の金メダル が見えてきますね！！！

[@plddad]

When I watched their last match againt Sun and Wang, I thought it to be the best. But this match reached a new level.

[@siegmars.450]

In my opinion the last game against Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi was much harder and even more breathtaking! However - this congenial japanese pair is unstoppable - I really love them 🤗👏🏼😀

[@flaviosouza4449]

Great rallies😮

[@Nikolay_K]

Qian очень очень огненная девушка! Не оторвать глаз....)

[@theinfinityruler]

The choppers who were actually the attackers😂

[@siegmars.450]

this is their fascinating secret and we are not allowed to leak it 😅

[@s.h.n.6231]

Sato with long pips and Hashimoto with short pips?

[@SkyreeXScalabar]

Google says they both have H3N National fh and Nittaku DO Knuckle short pips on bh, but commentator did mention they used short and long

[@harpiaamazon]

I wanna be a chopper!

[@XizelSF]

Unfortunately, Qian was clearly the weak link here. A lot of mistakes and played a few balls too passively.

[@kolasong8350]

even we get a couple of Sun/chen or sun/wang revised tactics , it is still clear that no team can stop the sato/Hashimoto today.

[@英豪杜-o9m]

昨天孫王輸球尚可說是應變不及 今天錢陳輸球那就是一籌莫展了 看來未來4年的大滿貫及年終賽的女雙決賽 都將是這2組日本女雙的天下

[@benjaminli7861]

Why do choppers always use backhand postion to serve? Very few offensive players normally do it. The only one I can recall is Li Ju (李菊）

[@aa-zz1pm]

It's easier to reposition themselves for the defensive shots. Choppers usually don't need a wide open forehand area to go for a forehand 3rd ball attack.
