WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

What can you see in the dark? Awful quality

its actually not dark if you at the table.
The problem has to do with the camera filming. It is placed "in the dark" and shining into the dark and onto a bright space.

I'm not an expert in this, but i'm sure there are means and ways to sort out this issue.
Otherwise, they should just change the whole black theme and make it viewable.

Ah you're right, that makes a lot of sense!

yeah
and honestly speaking, one shouldn't take the mixed team world cup too seriously.
the match format doesn't allow what you would do in the OG

Liang/Yuan vs Togami/Matsushima has some fire rallies, sadly the JPN pair made too much mistake and the CN pair ball quality was superb even when being pushed away from the table

Fan Zhendong cs Franziska on table 4. Way to promote the sport though to be fair, it is still on TV.

FZD hitting some disgustingly good backhand winners with ease.

Lastly, we've got ML/WCQ cruising. It feels like it's been forever since ML has played doubles. I know he played one set in the mixed teams event, but that was just one set. I wonder if the CNT is trying to see if he can be more useful as a doubles player as he ages since it can cover for his weakness in recovery due to simply not being as quick as before.

ATTC 2023? ML/WCQ has been playing since WTTC 2019.

This guy with his phone next to the mic needs to be kicked out.

Duda 2-3 ML (-4, 9, 7, -7, -7)
Duda got duped by ML's body language in G4, especially after coming out of the TO at 5:3.

KM 2-3 Grandma Ni (-2, 5, -7, 6, -6)

Polcanova has been in a slump since mid-2023.

Sora Matsushima is close to a big upset here against Harimoto, he is looking really stable in rallies and exploiting Harimotos forehand


EDIT: Matsushima wins 12;10 in the 5th set. wow

 

[NextLevel]

wow... down goes Harimoto....

 

[zeio]

Harimoto 2-3 Matsushima (8, 4, -9, 7, -10)
I think this is the first-ever win for Matsushima, domestically or internationally.
Harimoto was cruising through the first 2 games and was trying out new things like playing farther behind the table on the FH, then he stopped somewhere in G3 and...

 

[tackyfh]

Matsushima took all of his frustration from the MD match and put it on Harimoto, what a comeback.
Now he has gotten both of the japanese top players on his resume

 

[zeio]

Good thing Matushima is not going to WTTC 2024 and Paris 2024 after what he said before WYC 2023 and what ultimately happened.

Another teammate killer in the making.

That forehand drive to win the match was a beauty. Looks like perfection - spinny, speedy, jams the opponent, placed deep in the backhand, forces an error.

 

[NextLevel]

Harimoto now a training partner only at this event lol...

I can't watch matches in such poor quality. Thanks guys for the news. How do you view it?

I understand that these are problems with filming. If there were problems with the lighting in the hall, the players would simply not be able to play, which apparently is not happening. I'm wondering if this quality of broadcasting was done intentionally to “popularize” table tennis or are there other reasons?

so you saying they could be purposely making it dark and difficult to watch as that difficulty will make table tennis more popular??

You are probably overthinking this. This is likely due to poor planning

 

[Gtsnake]

Didn't they just have a different tournament there? So they probably just kept the same equipment in place.
