In table tennis, there's this unwritten rule that you don't win by 11-0 for any one set - at 10-0, you contrive to let your opponent take one point before trying to win your final point.
That's a bit of "merciless" here, perhaps lack of sportsmanship? Perhaps Nozomi could just serve into the net, at least, once, no?
