Nice to see one off these nail-biting matches end with a brilliant shot instead of a bad call. Good on both of them!

おめでとう　渡辺さん　次も楽しんでね

[@rockokodude]

excellent play and sportmanship from satomi..... perry needs to work on her fitness, at this rate she can hurt herself easily in court

[@jamestalintyre7713]

SJ is sooooo slow like a hefffalump always has been but good racket skills unfortunately movement and speed wins at squash

👍

[@jackredden3982]

What's going on with these commentators? Asking if one has ever seen a samurai sword in real life? Because one of the players is Japanese? Describing Perry as barking when she yells?

[@DaveNeve]

It's painful as always to watch Perry physically. She could barely get up after she'd fallen down. What are her coaches doing? She'll be handicapped if she goes on playing like this. Either she has to retire from top squash, or they have to work on her suppleness. But she must not continue like this !

Perry now past her sell by date. Slow and sluggish round the court.

[@Orbituation]

She has been slow and sluggish for a long time now. But yet even with the incredible form of Watanabe, it took going all the way to the finish line just to edge SJP, which is really testament to her racket skills.

@@Orbituation Perry had skill and great volleys but now she’s lost it , hope she regains it however she’s 33 so times not on her side

[@Orbituation]

@@kaiwoodman4323 I think we can agree to disagree that she "lost" her skills and volleys. I don't expect her to be winning platinum events soon, but she's still a gatekeeper to top 10 because she can still control rallies against these young and fast players.

[@kaiwoodman4323]

@@Orbituation I’ve watched her match and she isn’t as confident and precise with her drops and volley drops , whether it’s an injury or confidence I don’t know but at this rate she will be out of top 10 very soon

[@Orbituation]

@@kaiwoodman4323 Tbh I'm still surprised she's still top 10, because every tournament's been very inconsistent for her. She sometimes gets knocked out in early rounds, but for some big tournaments she can reach QF, so she's more of a Willstrop competitor for me. Don't expect too much, but hope for magic when she really shows up.

Oh dear poor old SJP out classed again
