Technical Strategy: Adjustments and changes of Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
Throughout the match, Tomokazu Haramoto dominated his steady backhand attack, while Hayasuke Togami showed a proactive attacking style. In the third game, Tomokazu Zhang has been in a passive state, winning the lead through the opponent's active attack. In the fourth game, Hayasuke Togami shook off the score 8-5, but a service error at a critical moment allowed Tomokazu Zhang to pull back a game. Throughout the game, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's adjustments and changes were an important strategy for counterattacks.
The Road to Counterattack: Tomokazu Zhangmoto's winning streak.

The difference between brother and sister: Zhang Benmeihe's regret and growth.
However, compared to Tomokazu Haramoto's victory, his sister Miwa Haramoto failed to achieve victory. Against Hina Hayata, she was swept 4-0 and failed to win a single game. Zhang's shortcomings are mainly manifested in the opponent's defensive counterattack, and she seems to be unable to deal with the opponent's stalemate. Although she has a longer room to grow in the future, her current regrets are also embarrassing.
Hina Hayata's preparation and dominance.
Hina Hayada was well prepared ahead of the match, and she mentioned beating Miwa Harimoto in November 2023. Although she was diligent, she looked restrained in the face of Hina Hayata's defensive counter-attack. Hina Hayata's dominance and adaptability have made her a standout performer in this tournament and a natural choice to win the Women's Singles title.
The power of foreign aid: the rise of Mittram and Lebrun.
In the WTT Goa Star Challenge, Germany's Mittram successfully defeated South Korea's first sister Shin Yubin and reached the final. She eliminated two main Korean players in a row and became the favorite to win the championship. France's Lebrun also made a name for himself in the tournament, beating his opponent 3-1 to advance to the final. The strong performance of these two foreign players indicates that the strength of foreign players will be greatly improved as the Olympic Games approach, which should not be underestimated.
Ending and reflection: Tomokazu Zhangmoto's return to the top.
In the end, Tomokazu Zhang won the championship in the decisive game 16-14, and the moment of sealing the king made people cheer. However, compared with the sharp style of play in the past, Tomokazu Zhang is now more defensive and counterattack-oriented, and he no longer looks sharp. He said after the match that he couldn't believe he saved eight match points, and the victory was clearly not just a technical victory, but also a mental victory.
On the whole, the competition for the men's and women's singles championships at the All Day Championships presented a fierce and exciting scene. Every player worked the field and showed a high level of technical and tactical literacy. The rise of foreign players has also made the competition more international. Tomokazu Haramoto's counterattack and Hina Hayata's dominance were impressive, while the emergence of foreign players added more variety to the game. In this moment of fierce competition, the hard work and efforts of the athletes are worthy of our deep thought.
