MATSUSHIMA Miku vs NAKADA Umi|Girls 2010 final|Eurominichamps 2023

Описание: Miku Matsushima (Japan) beat Umi Nakada (Japan) 3-2 in the Girls-2010 final. The opponent seemed to know her playing style very well.

Actual match starts at 00:01:58.

Note: The hall looked a little bit dark also for the bare eyes. The darkness of the video is not the fault of the camera!

This was Miku's first and only real match in the tournament as the points in the 11 previous matches were pretty clear:

1,0,5
6,2,7
5,6,7
3,3,4
2,5,5
7,2,9
8,5,4
6,1,5
3,3,4
5,2,3
2,7,5

She only played seriously when it was needed. For example, two last sets of this match. Miku started to play table tennis at the age of 2. She became in last October the youngest pro-league player at the age of 9. Previous record holder Miwa Harimoto started at the age of 10. Miku turned 10 this June.

Miku has said:

"I’m still not good enough, but it’s frustrating to lose. I want to become stronger and win a gold medal at the Olympics in the future."

Miku has also said:

"I don’t want to be number two. I always want to be at the top."

This was clearly seen in the end of this match!

But perhaps a couple of serves did not obey the 16 cm rule?
