@cillbosby I dunno, it was at least forecasted that he'd go check out the table tennis area if he had a chance. It looked like they were starting to take their break between soccer matches, if not sometime around now then when? Still coincidental timing, but it's a couple of coincidences stacking on top of each other, such as this idiot being spotted by the soccer area but heading back. That would've reminded Ueno to go check on the table tennis group.

Some side of me is quite happy with that predicament, because that'll take the heat off Tabata a bit.

You know, I have to say I don’t like people that talk about who would make a good couple or try to force people together. If you’re in one of those insanely omniscient positions where you know without a shadow of doubt that both parties mutually like each other in a romantic sense and want to date one another, but are just being idiots, then by all means. If you’re someone wingman/woman and just trying to be a good friend, then go ahead. If you’re a just a meddlesome third party that hardly knows either individual, then go sit in the corner and think about why you’re a terrible person. It’s extremely shallow, superficial, rude to people’s personal freedom, and forces you to make a lot of assumptions about two people you hardly know (about their sexual preferences, tastes, likes/dislikes, etc). Not to mention it puts a lot of pressure on everyone involved and coerces people to act a certain way or like a certain person or not try to get with someone just because of the baseless assumptions made by the strangers around them who at this point should know more than to just make a decision about other individuals based off of appearances.

Oh and actually about the chapter. I think the development we ended on is fine. It forces her to talk more with him and clear the air

One thing we should perhaps remember: He's trying to get that other girl for himself (because he is unrealistic). So, he wasn't trying to meddle for the sake of meddling, nor was he trying (and failing) to be a wingman, at least not for its own sake. He wants Yousuke to be taken so the other girl can't have him so he himself will have a chance with her. So he's being sort of callously manipulative, except he totally sucks at it.
But it's sort of a compliment to our heroine that she strikes him as the best shot at pairing Yousuke off.

Well, shit.

To make matters worse, Tabata's low self-esteem will make her think that Ueno's reaction comes from a place of disgust by the mere thought of going out with her.

No, you've got it exactly right.

Keep to your leagues, people.
