ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

I only saw Elbeiali gettig TTR. And to me his serves that were TTRed were blatantly illegal. HYZ serves was far less illegal to me

TTR was used during challenges. Elbeiali's serves were faulted and he challenged, hence the TTRs. HYZ was warned once and then he modified his service. I wonder if it's just a HYZ thing or a CNT thing because he really modified his service by a lot after the warning, with a much straighter toss and serving much farther away from his body (warning was for head hiding the ball, same as Elbeiali). Elbeiali's issue is that he didn't modify his service at all. He literally served the exact same way immediately after the warning, drawing an immediate fault.

Hmmm - it seems they slightly modified the rules from last year. "Excluding match points" seems new.

It's the same rule. You only have 2 matches and then can end 2-2, so like last year it's based on sets not matches.

Lin Yun Ju vs Dima! The A Vs B ( or usually winner vs winner) matchups today are fraught with thrills! Though in a few rare cases we have winners vs drawers or losers (sorry WYD). Which matches are likely to be upsets? And Omar Assar vs AJH doesn't count...

 

[NextLevel]

Harimoto vs HYZ coming up! Can Harimoto succeed where he failed prior?

YouTube chat user, VisualRemix, mentioned in the chat that the World Cup Day 2 Recap says there's still a chance for all 3 players(YJN, WYD, SJ) to advance:

Yuan’s victory throws Group 3 wide open, with all three players still holding a chance of qualifying to Stage 2. She promised to closely watch Yidi Wang take on Shao Jieni, with the outcome of that match set to decide the fate of all three players.​

Nah, they just don't know how to do the math.

Harimoto falling apart already...

I was so wrong, that was a great momentum switch from 7-9 to 11-9.

 

[NextLevel]

But Harimoto is relaxing without realizing the danger. He can still lose on points so he has to make sure that he wins a game as he has won games by narrow margins.

 

[NextLevel]

That was heart stealing right there!

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

so do you guys prefer this format, or the 7 point, best of 7 format?
lots of new format in recent years, including that of XDWC (which was copied from UTT)

Wow Tomo

This format is not bad for the group stages unless the game is tie 2-2 then extra game should be played. When they reach QF, SF and Finals should be best of 7

Grp3 M3
Harimoto 3-1 HYZ (8, 9, 10, -6)
G2 109, Harimoto didn't force it with his BH loop on the half long ball and opted with his BH deep push
G3 15, 25, 27, 37, 38, 48, 49, 79, 710, 1210, Harimoto made it through against all odds

 

[Colin Ksh]

Harimoto and an jaehyun secured their spot for next round. Both played well

 

[joshmak10]

Congrats to Harimoto, sad to see HYZ go. Does anyone know, if they tied 2-2, who would’ve gone through?

 

[zeio]

Let’s see if Jien can snatch a game off wang yidi. If she succeeds, Wang Yidi is out

She needed 3 games. So much disinformation here. LOL

It would have depended on the points in the match , Harimoto has won the first two games at plus 5, with no deuces so at a minimum, HYZ needed plus 6 with no deuces. If they had a perfect tie, thr likely Harimoto's edge against Elbeiali would havr seen him prevail.

Then it seems like either you or the commentator doesn’t know the rules of the group stages
