See that's what's stupid. preparing for LP or antispin is a full time job. You would need months of preparation and training to really understand every detail of how the rubber responds. But they may face 20 different players. There's no way to prepare for every version of unusual rubber. Fundamentally the demand is just unfair.

They have their advantages, but don't forget their disadvantages, the simple inability to create spin. Look at how WMY is handling Batra with a simple push/loop cycle or a continuous attack if blocks are poor quality. Batra can't attack a push to her BH side, and she can't attack a spinny loop even if it's too high either as long as it's not short, and that's a big disadvantage, the reason these rubbers are not mainstream.

In the mean time, Hayata is still expecting her first win...

Hayata 0 H2H 12 SYS

Hayata: Sample size is mysteriously strong only when playing against me!

Alright, now do SYS vs all of women from India and you can talk about how previous results means the recent result was actually impossible and acutally coudln't have happened.

You really should drop the sample size thing because anybody with any statistical leanings, or even your casual bettor knows that a sample size of 12 is absurdly small.

I read all your posts because you post some really interesting bits of information and compile them very well. But it's pretty clear you've done no actual serious work dealing with probabilities in trying to forecast future events. And it's pretty childish of you to keep bringing up the issue in a snarky way. But I suppose you don't have actual serious arguments in your favor so there's really no other choice.

Unfair? If you can't deal with your own spin, that's on you. I am saying that as a double inverted player.

Yeah I agree. But this kinda leads credence to the theory that @NextLevel and @Tony's Table Tennis have been saying about the CNT in that a lot of their success can be attributed to how well they are prepared for a specific opponent. When playing in a very large tournament with a ton of different variables, they have to be more strategic with how many hours they devote to a specific player, and sometimes their immense talent isn't even able to overcome the loss of strategic focus.

SYS is still far and away the most talented (almost supernatural) in women's TT. The fact that she can lose a match this way is a big argument for the importance of opponent specific preparation in this sport.

Malaysia ( aka Albino Unicorns ) is now leading two games versus Canada. MAS player won both MS#1 & MS#2.

CAN MS#1: Edward Ly.
CAN MS#2: Eugene Wang.

its not unfair. pips player can't play powerful super spinny topspins.. its a compromise.

In the mean time, Hayata is still expecting her first win...

Hayata 0 H2H 12 SYS

Hayata: Sample size is mysteriously strong only when playing me.

And Batra managed to take 1 game off of WMY.

Hayata: 1 game is so far away.

CHN vs IND
SYS 1-3 A. Mukherjee
G4 42, 46, 66, 67 SYS served off the table, 68 dead net for Mukherjee, 611

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

wow Akula is like Mima Ito with a real forehand...

India is gonna be world champ !

 

[Colin Ksh]

do you guys know where can I watch T1 matches in US? It’s not streaming on wtt yt channel. I can’t watch it on wtt website or app as well.

 

[turbozed]

Akula takes first game off WYD too.

Out of the new crop of Indian stars, she's been the most fun to watch recently.

 

[turbozed]

do you guys know where can I watch T1 matches in US? It’s not streaming on wtt yt channel. I can’t watch it on wtt website or app as well.

I think you can watch T1 by signing up for a streaming account (free I think) on the WTT site. If that's too much of a hassle, you'll have to VPN out to a different country where it's available.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

WYD down 0-2 against Sreeja Akula! Is China having another Moscow moment? It's getting really interesting.

 

[zeio]

Fans: Arbitrary selection system not fair
China: We will play by the book
India: Hold my beer
Fans: 年輕人不講武德

CHN vs IND
SYS 1-3 A. Mukherjee
G4 42, 46, 66, 67 SYS served off the table, 68 dead net for Mukherjee, 611
WMY 3-1 Batra
G4 76 TO for WMY, 106, 107, 117
WYD 0-3 S. Akula
G2 62, 76 TO for WYD, 78, 88, 810, 910, 911
G3 28, 58 TO for Akula, 59, 109, 1010, 1011 Akula saved a slight net and WYD missed the popup, 1111, 1113

 

[driversbeat]

Chen Meng: This stinks

 

[dingyibvs]

Akula's play is amazing! WYD has no adjustments thus far. How many times does she have to push into a winning loop-drive? She should try attacking everything, and attacking the middle and BH more.

 

[jfolsen]

Ma Lin is going to get fired at this rate.

 

[Colin Ksh]

Thanks guys. I can now watch from one of the Japanese sports channel from yt. Need vpn tho. Btw an jaehyun being a xiom player is using a w968 obviously at the current match 😂. I thought he’d be using a TMXi instead.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Akula is like Mima Ito but with a real and deadly forehand.... 3-0 to Wang Yidi !!! She wins G3 at deuce

it could have been even easier is she didnt miss an easy kill at 9-8

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Go India!

 

[turbozed]

3-0 for Akula vs WYD. Looked like WYD was starting a reverse sweep down 3-8 in the 3rd and bringing it back to 9-9. Credit to Akula for keeping her cool and finishing the job.

More fuel for the fire. This thread gonna heat up soon lol
