Very nice video thank you for sharing. Itoh, Knono, and Hawsegawa all had very differing style of play-Khono the pips out hitter, Itoh the power spinner, and Hasegawa the great all around attacker. Amazing spin for a guy his size probably from his unorthodox grip...never hurt him any...

Thank you for the video. I have never reviewed japanese Hasegawa's play. I vaguely remember how he played when he was one of my heroes at my young age. In your video, he does not disappoint me even if his back hand was not at all what I imagined.

At 7:14 one can see Stellan Bentsson, the guy that won the single in this wttc. He was only 18 yrs at that time.
