This is why I love Mizutani!

In my opinion, the common camera angle most videos have take away from the magic of the game. Severely. Every time I see a match at an angle like this i watch it no matter who it is. Love it. 

Superior performance from Mizutani!
Elder as style players like Legout are great masters too, always nice to watch, but they will be best for their time only, not and today. It is visible he can't read even the Mizutani's plans on the table.
At 40 years age or more.... players have not the same reactions, their body is different.
You must be from another planet to play equal with the current masters at this age. Like "The One".
Congrats for Legout, he is still very brave, has a good power in strokes and nice footwork, but that's not enough to win a game today. May be he has realized it by himself yet.
Many people asked me during the past some months why the most expensive blade today is "wearing" the name of that Japanese player. On this video they have the answer, definitely.

Jun Mizutani is just the best, I have seen this video many times now! 

MJ improves very much in 2014, his attacks are earlier than before.
I hope he could challenge CNTs in the near future.

Don't mind my last comment I saw now that he plays with T05 and T64

the point at 11:10 in the ML WH match.. ML hits the net and the ball barely trickles over. WH throws his paddle at the ball, and the ball appears to be hit by the paddle and go back over the net. ML gets the point anyway. Was that an illegal shot? I've wondered about that sometimes, when there is no way to reach the ball but to throw your paddle at the net and hope for a miracle..

what if the blade touches the net slightly, but does not affect the play. I think in all of those situations the blade will slightly touch the net..

It's illegal as by the rules you have to hold your bat in your hand to be able to score a point. From the rules book: 2.05.07  A player strikes the ball if he or she touches it in play with his or her racket, held in the hand, or with his or her racket hand below the wrist.
