ikr he had so much potential when he was young... junior champion beating Lin Gaoyuan all the time, beat Ma Long in 2012, then entered the senior tour and beat Xu Xin, after that, he stopped playing well at small tournaments, but still gets good results in cups or championships.
Wow! Koki Niwa looks awesome here!!! He's so fast and so strong! And the serves look much better!!! Hope he can keep it up for the rest of the tournament!
Yeahh I'm so happy. Both players were great and I'm glad to have seen so many winner shots. Finally Koki Niwa wins a crucial deuce to get that 3:1 lead, and wins the match as well. The best of him since wc2018 against Liang.
ITTF, what's wrong with you? From a match to another, the view of the table is different. In addition, why not putting real Full HD 60fps videos while we're in 2019? Finally, microphone is set at the wrong place (hearing the crowd more than the show) and camera is shaking like it was not set on a stable tripod. Seriously, put some minimal effort and respect to this sport.
I think if Koki Niwa could forsake his habit of hitting some random shots during his play, he could be a really tough opponent for the toughest players including Chinese coz I really like his creativity and mental calmness. He’s truly an authentic player in his playing style.
Idk but i felt that Koki Niwa has lost his unique play style, i am not saying he should entertain more but as one of his fans, i really miss the older him... Good job reading Falck serves tho!
Koki adapt to a slow pace speed to counter his opponent. More of a defensive move but with offensive tactic. Opponent will find it tough to break his tempo.
Niwa actually has poor footwork. He also overcommits himself to stepping aside to forehand loop or hit from the backhand. He compensates for this by smart placement of the ball. Falck was unable to exploit the gaping holes that Niwa left open.
I feel like when Falck twiddles his bat after serve it throws off his grip comfort just a split second too long leading to unforced errors. I wonder at what point did Falck swear-off inverted rubbers on his forehand and decide to stick to short-pips? Maybe the chicken-wing type of short-pip, loop-slap he uses is easier on his body/back health...i dunno.
Nothing against Harimoto but his chant is kind of irritating. If it disturbs me, what more for the players. There should be a regulation to shouting. I understand shouting after victory, but not every point.
TBH koki Niwa didn't really play well. He's moving very slow and making easy mistakes. He won simply because he's the better player and Mattias made a lot of mistakes himself.
Koki Niwa, when properly motivated, is a most innovative and entertaining player. I hope he keeps his form in
the later rounds.
Yes totally agreed!!
Agree
Agree
Agree
Agree
Harimoto is everywhere. I can hear his chole in every video.
ha ha ha ha ha. you are right . that kid scream a lot instead of manage his energy to play well. i have enough of his screaming
dima won in r(16) from harimoto
Haha😂
Yes me too lmao fuggin kid won't stfu
What do you mean?
Whaaaat last celebration by Koki niwa was so cute!!!
He says like Yeeeeah I did it guys!
Yeah ikr
Yes seeing him try is quite refreshing!
I still hope Koki can return to his 2015-2017’s form. For some reasons he has been much slower now compared to his oldself.

Even in the celebration he saves energy xD
@fayedisc A lazier world class athlete that is... typical lazy people wouldn't be athletes

This is prolly the first time i ever seen Koki win 😂😂 and I've been following ITTF for a year
yeah this is his first time making it to QF in like over a year, which sucks cause hes a really creative player
0:47 lmao I could hear Tomokazu yelling even if he wasn't on the screen
5:48 around the net shot
It's like koki niwa is sleepwalking and not at all serious.This guy is so gifted.
I haven't seen a chop block in a long time. I remember some months ago that Koki was so down that he did like 7 chop blocks in the last set.
I love to see Koki WIN!!!
Thanks to Mattias and Koki for awesome game
Niwa has some amazing serves, among the best in the world. He probably scored 15 points from his serves.

Yeah, good highlights
yes, yes the rallis of the match
今回の対戦を見て思ったこと。
たしかに、卓球の才能をボールタッチとするなら、これ程才能に恵まれた選手は世界でもそう居ないかもしれない。しかし、持って生まれた才能を体格とするなら、丹羽選手は外国人選手に大きく引けをとっている。その体格差を埋めるために、テクニカルでトリッキーなプレースタイルを磨いてきたのだろう。逆に言えば、体格的にパワー系とかを目指すのは厳しかったのかもしれない。自分の長所を活かすスタイルと、たゆまぬ努力で世界と戦う姿は本当にかっこいい。尊敬しかないです。これからも頑張ってください！
Me: oh Cool, Koki Niwa vs Falk, I'm gonna watch a quiet match...
Harimoto: CHOLE YOO!
niwa is brilliant
Рад за Коки Ниву! Давно не видел от него такой уверенной игры.

Damn, I didn't expect them to be this evenly matched. Could've gone either way honestly

Was that earthquake? ITTF do you feel it?
Koki Niwa on form is like watching silk in the wind. hope he is heading to form again.
Great Koki!
WTF..harimoto is everywhere...I can hear his voice 😂 ..So much fun yr.....
Idk but i felt that Koki Niwa has lost his unique play style, i am not saying he should entertain more but as one of his fans, i really miss the older him... Good job reading Falck serves tho!
And making Falck fail to receive his serves!
Koki Niwa: ‘Falck you!’
Niwa is back.
Is there anyone who can tell me Why Koki was in the around top 10 and then suddenly disappeared for awhile?
コキニワがこんなに声出してくれて嬉しい
I love when the camera shakes distorting the already garbage image. You get to guess by cho's who wins the points.
Why was the score on 11? Was it 10 before or they changed it?
11:24
Great match!
koki niwa celebration is cuteeee🥰🥰🥰
even harimoto was rooting for koki niwa in this match
what a CHOOOOOp block from koki!
Damn, Falck likes to slap that ball
Short pips forehand. So slapping and hitting is the play style. Looks spectacular when it comes off.
Нивыч молодец, такого кабанчика завалил :)
short pip is still hard to control at the similar consistency level as reverse rubber..
0:50 WTF Harimoto
Koki adapt to a slow pace speed to counter his opponent. More of a defensive move but with offensive tactic. Opponent will find it tough to break his tempo.
That crazy Falcker was having so much trouble with that old school serve...it's so easy to return from my computer chair...
no u
00:47 perfect timing
koki niwa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the difference of their heights lol!
What a bad angel!
Another beatiful match ruined by Official ITTF Channel bad quality... Shame...

I think it’s the first time I ever saw koki cho
サーブめちゃくちゃ上手い

Harimoto celebra el punto de niwa 00:47
0:50
I thought that was koki niwa is screaming when he got this point lol
流石
0:49張本
I wonder if Koki could see the contact point of Falck’s serve
He was definitely serving illegal. He still got tucked by koki's legal shovel serve haha
Falk looks like a giant
I really do not like the roaring from the next matching tables! I even hate it.
Ugh! Screamoto in the background from the other court against Dima! Needs to be muted!
I heard some crazy noise from another table.Sounds like a mad dog having seizure.
サーブ強い
見る度サーブ変わってる気がする
Falck a bad sport..hardly apologises for lucky balls .. screams..and bad attitude.
Why can't Niwa play like this all the time?
Kiko Niwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Nothing against Harimoto but his chant is kind of irritating. If it disturbs me, what more for the players. There should be a regulation to shouting. I understand shouting after victory, but not every point.
丹羽孝希最近めっちゃ声出すな
Non-human screaming of Harimoto
丹羽T2ダイヤモンドでの雪辱を果たせたね
泥娃打的好，加油小巨人！
yesssssssssssss
10:16 illegal serve
Harimoto is everywhere. Why is screming???
TBH koki Niwa didn't really play well. He's moving very slow and making easy mistakes. He won simply because he's the better player and Mattias made a lot of mistakes himself.
M. Falck does not get dominated by speed but good spin and placement
it is like near by Noisy moto and Sexy Dimitri
harimoto very noisy, he needs to learn to chill
"chole ho" Falk annoying aswell
The sound of this very annoying voice of haremoto can be heard in this match like a pi** on the bed
Like or dislike Harimoto screams is going to be legendary !
纯粹靠手感打球
丹羽抓住了机会
cute
