CCTV-5+ and Yangshipin are streaming the WTT Finals men's singles semifinal match between Lin Shidong and Harimoto Tomokazu.

This match follows a best-of-seven format, and both players are now competing in the first game with the score at 0-0.

This match is a critical challenge for Lin Shidong’s caliber. Throughout this season, Lin has been defeated by Harimoto multiple times. Their historical head-to-head record is 1-5 against Harimoto, placing Lin at a disadvantage. Currently, Lin Shidong is ranked second in the world, while Harimoto Tomokazu is fifth. I believe Lin has the technical and tactical skills to beat his opponent, but he seems to struggle with key points and shows signs of psychological instability. I look forward to Lin defeating Harimoto and overcoming this challenge.
