Great match by the Japanese duo! They deserved to win! Unfortunately made a bit too many unforced errors in the mid-part of the last game. Lapse of concentration, or nerves maybe?
Thank you very much!! I have always wanted to see this match! If you have also other interesting matches with Matsushita or Shibutani, it would be great to see them.
These two choppers, playing one of the best pairs in the world, in an era of speed-gluing and fast balls, nearly reach deuce in the decider. There are no defensive players even close to this good anymore.
