Sad, she was a pretty good player

Ueda's interview with Butterfly on how he and Togami struck a partnership.

Even Ueda doesn't understand why Togami can't beat Ovtcharov and Moregard. LOL And he says that Harimoto, Shinozuka and Matsushima have better touch (ball feeling) than Togami.

FUJII Hiroko thinks Hayata's BH will be targeted.

「ディフェンス」と「バックハンド」が超進化！早田ひな 弱点克服で5月に中国撃破ヘ！
https://friday.kodansha.co.jp/article/417446

卓球元日本代表で解説者の藤井寛子氏は、早田の″弱点″が克服されていたことを見逃さなかった。

「得意のフォアハンドに比べ、穴になりやすいと思われていたバックハンドと守備の精度が向上していました。ブロックショットでしのぎ、バックハンドでカウンターを繰り出す。そこからフォアハンドにつなげる、隙(すき)のないプレーができています。昨夏のパリ五輪で左腕を負傷して以来、早田選手がバックハンドに不安を抱えていることは、ライバルたちも認識しています。そこを狙われることを見越し、強化を行っているのでしょう」

 

[zeio]

Even though Red Elf had no chance of winning even with Hayata given those teammates, sitting out (was she even there?) is another troubling sign of her chronic injury...

p.s. All right, she didn't play enough matches to participate in the playoff (8 matches minimum). As of 3/8, she had still not recovered from that fever back at Singapore Smash 2025. That's not good...

早田ひな、今季最後のＴリーグで白星締め　「チームだけでもプレーオフに」苦境で貫いたエースの覚悟
https://hochi.news/articles/20250308-OHT1T51355.html?page=1

　昨夏のパリ五輪で負った左腕のけがは回復途上だ。昨年末に本格的に復帰して以降は、３連覇を飾った全日本選手権や国際大会が続いた。２月上旬のシンガポール・スマッシュの大会期間中には体調不良にも見舞われ、帰国後の２月２４日のＴリーグを欠場した。その影響でＰＯの出場試合規定（８試合）に届かないことが確定していた。

　自身はＰＯのコートには立てない。体調不良もまだ完全には回復していないという。早田はそれでもこの日の試合に出場した意図を「（欠場した試合で）自分の体調を優先したいと伝えた時に、それをさせてくださった村上（恭和）監督への感謝の気持ちもあった。自分はこの状況ですけど、チームだけでもそこ（ＰＯ）にいってほしいという気持ちがあって出場を決めた」と明かした。

　チームのＲＳ最終戦となる９日の日本ペイントマレッツ戦は、ＷＴＴチャンオピオンズ重慶大会（１１日開幕・中国）参戦のため欠場する。今季のＴリーグはけがの影響や国際大会の日程もあって、単複７試合で２勝５敗にとどまったが「試合数も勝利もあまりできなかったけど、チームのみんなが状況を理解してくれていて、『そこにいるのといないのでは違う』と思ってもらえていたことが頑張れる源になっていた」と振り返った。

　ＰＯに向かう仲間に思いも託した。「全日本選手権のダブルスで（笹尾明日香、麻生麗名）が優勝したり、みんな個の力がついてきている。一人ひとりが自分を信じて頑張ってほしい」。自身は「来季はもちろん、今季以上に試合に出たい」と意気込み、「明日から中国の（ＷＴＴ）チャンピオンズに切り替えて頑張ってきます」と誓って会場を後にした。（林　直史）

Uda has gotta be the MVP here. After helping TT Saitama win the playoff SF while playing with a cramp in his right thigh yesterday, his 3-2 win over Shinozuka in G4 of playoff F secured TT Saitama the T.League trophy for the first time.

Hachioji is a bit far from Central Tokyo, too bad... maybe one day if there is an opportunity to go there the day before a tournament in that area for example

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Tleague finals live now

Yokoi-Odo 2-0 Kihara-Nagasaki
Hashimoto 1-3 Miwa
Great matches

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

oh no !!! we may not see this shirt ever again !!!

WTF who told her ????

Probably we'll still see this though

 

[zeio]

Proof that TTD is being watched... LOL

Wait, is that $60/hour for a private lesson with Minami Ando? It's worth a vacation from America to get in on that.

And Jeepers, the yen is still so weak.

The Japanese Yen is too cheap. Literally everything will feel cheap to you here

I’m not sure she can speak English though

No common language is okay, I have no potential.

Oh wow Kihara beat Odo.

Not sure why the Miyus pairing hasn't been working much lately.

yes i wasn't expecting this, and ODO seemed comfortably ahead 2-1 but then from G4 KIHARA took more risks in FH pivoting often, the match was more balanced and i think ODO succumbed to the pressure

I didn't watch the match TBH but I have always felt that the Kinoshita girls have a strong bond, which is probably one reason for their win today.

 

[zeio]

Mallets' lineup is puzzling. What was their plan?

I think there was a good atmosphere in the Mallets as well. although of course Hashimoto / Sato and Odo/Yokoi have a more special relationship.

The win is deserved for KIHARA. I was rooting actually for ODO because i think she's a rising star and really play a more spectacular game, but i like all the Kinoshita girls as well, they're all cute and in general all Japanese girls play very positively. very good mentality. and perhaps its a Japanese thing because i witness that as well at the amateur level.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Btw I didn’t check until today but the coach of Kinoshita Nakazawa Rui is actually Chinese. Something quite obvious when you hear him speaking Japanese. His looks were more Chinese than Japanese but until now because of his name I assumed he was Japanese

Apparently he’s retiring from his coaching position after this new title and moving to a more managerial role.

Because he is now head coach of Japanese female national team no? He can't maintain the two.
