Xu Xin vs Tomokazu Harimoto I 2018 ITTF Austrian Open Highlights (1/4)

[@theviniso]

Xu Xin is my favorite Chinese player and I love to see him winning, but Harimoto deserves more credit. That boy is crazy talented.

[@lovefootball9271]

Viniso absolutely true!

Aurelian Tihi 你大爷还是你大爷

[@WellMefisto]

And people still say this ball has no spin.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Aurelian Tihi, You are right. This obnoxious kid is going to be really good. The first 2 games, Harimoto handled Xu Xin's service correctly. But he could not adapt to the service variations and I would say that he got to learn to steadily counter instead of trying to kill every shot. He over pressured himself to attack Xu Xin's serves.

[@nw4101]

Many lucky balls to harimoto during the match but last one, belongs to xu xin😂

[@MKWKezer]

Xu Xin‘s strategy was quite clear: He played many slower, high-arcing topspins and forced Harimoto to many direct errors with that.

[@WellMefisto]

Yeah. Harimoto still has problems with these shots far from the table, especially against Xu Xin, a specialist! Nice match though.

[@hillsideonly]

He actually wanted to fight head on and blow to blow with Tomo but Tomo's aggressiveness and two wings play was prevailing and after the second set that he almost lost, Xu Xin changed to the high arc style

[@hillsideonly]

@@jeanetteyan5420 I think he played well, He didn't have a good start but he was able to stay strong in the second set to win, and changing his play to more short pushes and more spin on his loops made it difficult for Tomokazu , And I know he was antsy in the Sixth set when Tomokazu cut down the big advantage but who doesn't need luck , At least Harimoto had lucky edge points in the earlier sets, Xu Xin's one lucky point came at the right time

That was a beautiful game

[@jojihue5777]

Never liked Harimoto. As a player, I respect him. I have watched some videos of him training and I can see that he is working really hard to achieve his goals. His screams are indeed annoying. But this isn't the reason we dislike him. His desire to win is too strong, so strong that I feel like he never learns to appreciate the game and his opponents. Probably due to his age, and also the fact that he was brought up with such a mentality... I have watched him play a lot but I can't say I respect him as an athlete. There were many occasions where his opponents made some beautiful shots, yet instead of being congratulatory, he looked more deflated. Like if his praise and applause were only reserved for himself. I guess this is what contributed to his crazy screams. (as a comparison, see how Gauzy reacted when FZD played a superb shots) But it is hard to put the blame on him. Maybe this is really the way he was brought up - growing up with high intensity trainings and always put under competitive environment. And not to menton the attentions he receives so much from the media and the intense pressure and hopes from his country people. My lord, He is just 15! He is so young and already so successful. Who are we to judge? But I just hope one day he realises that most people in table tennis don't see him as an enemy, but instead a buddy to play and improve with, a place for healthy competition, not a war zone. Your scream would be much likeable, if you can scream for someone's beautiful shots too.

It’s not “so much hate for harimoto”. Excessive screaming and gestures are: a. Disrespect to your opponent b. Interruptions to other players in the arena c. Making watching the game painful. Being young is not an excuse for bad behavior.

[@Skrippykrotangler]

The problem with Harimoto's incessant screaming is that there are usually other matches going on. You think other pro players want to hear that in the middle of any important point? I don't think so. At my club I maybe do it once or twice in a night and we play for 3 hours, and thats only after I win an amazing point or long rally. Otherwise, I stay quiet. It's about respect.

[@abstractexchange5057]

About Harimoto screamings, there is no problem. He can scream more as he likes. It should be accepted in sport. But by the other reason, I think that administrators should warn Harimoto, that the volume of screamings is needed to small enough. The problem is not in Harimoto matches, and is not trick of annoying opponents. Once, i watched youtube ITTF clips of matches without Harimoto. But i frequently heard exactly the screaming Harimoto, very clearly. At first I was so surprised. After some minutes, I find out, that these matches were recorded at places, which are near to the other matches of Harimoto at the same times. So i think, that, Harimoto screams in off-game time, does not bother his opponents. But sometimes, others players plays in neighbor tables to Harimoto, can be affected. Because it is on-game time in others tables.
