Terunofuji (Y) beat Kinbozan (M5)
Leader: Terunofuji, Meisei, Asanoyama (7-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Endo (M2). Knee injury. Doubtful to return this tournament. If he doesn’t, he will be the only top tier rikishi to finish winless. That would mean a big drop in the rankings-he’ll stay in the top tier in July but I’d knock him down all the way to Maegashira 12.
