all qualities of this announcer are terrible. literally his only plus is not being Bobrow. he does sometimes shut up for five seconds.

Meeeee-Maaaaaa!!!!!

Next we will get the super-predictable posts about how she cannot beat the top Chinese women. As if anyone else can beat them. They are srsly WR 1 - 4 for reasons.

But for Mima, last WJNT standing, semis of World Cup. Is not bad. Every other 外国人 would love to be there in her place.

And here I'm still waiting for your honest response.

Moregard at it again with his "creative" gamesmanship (1, 2) and still failed to get G3.

There is the hook serve once it got tight

Every single LSD hook serve is illegal. If I were his opponent, challenging the hook serve is just a free point imo. Not sure why his opponents aren't doing it more often.

On the other hand, WMY's hook serve is always perfectly legal and still highly effective! It is my counterpoint to ppl who claim to all hook serves are illegal cheating. You don't have to throw it so much into your body lol.

After getting a pleasant surprise with the new WTT announcer the past couple of events, the difference with the announcing this time is really stark.

it can only be chinese fans doing the same boring thing of everyone else must retire, because you can't beat world no 1 ~ no 4

the day china is no longer top in the world, the fans will be silence
so the whole fandom bullying culture only exists, because of "other people's hard work".
I'm not sure if other sports have this sickening culture?

In basketball, I don't see American's asking Chinese players to retire.
In rugby, I don't see South African's asking Chinese to retire.
etc

Ito is still a top player in the world, but she must retire,
so far I think Miwa is the only one not on the retire list
Odo might.. since she lost to a retiree today.

Truls should have immediately called it. Umpires also sucked and only called it in the next game.

For some reason all the men start with a stretched arm when they do the hook serve so you need to throw it into your body to be able to hit it. It's so easy to make it legal.

Odo retirement 3.. 2.. 1

she is closing in on "must retirement" age.
maybe another 3 losses, and 1 or 2 more years, then she will be incorporated onto the list for good.

Looks like live chat got closed because someone body shamed KM. Moderator should just kick off the offender rather than close the whole chat.

TTR did scarify Chuqins nasty serve. Rightful retribution on Chooqin .
International Umpires all proved a timid soul, and TTR has no soul at all. This is the best way to uproot dirty crooks from the sport.
Looking forward to see Chooqin's serve penalized, and the boy gets his ass kicked again. What's wrong about Chuqins serve? The ball seemingly crossed the end line during the toss, by a tiny size though.

"There can be no higher law in the sport than to tell the truth and to shame the devil."

Match is still ongoing, but KM is showing a ton of fight in her

In principle, a player can't request TTR unless the umpire has made a call.

7. TABLE TENNIS REVIEW (TTR)
Table Tennis Review (TTR) gives players the right to review a decision made by an umpire, which they
believe is incorrect. With the help of highly accurate technology, it will be possible to have a point replayed
instantly and reviewed by a TTR Match Official, who will have the final decision for the review in question.

...

B. Principles & Rules
...
• Players/pairs do not have the right to request TTR in case an umpire has not called a fault service or
not awarded a point to the opponent.
...
• Players/pairs can only request TTR, in a timely manner, immediately following the call
(announcement of decision) by the umpire.

So all this time, it was out of the umpires’ kindness that the players could challenge the opponents’ serves?

Ito's chances of making the finals seem to have risen a little no? Loll

Without access to the Prospectus, that is the most appropriate conclusion we can draw for now.

it is sad that bullying still continues
that IP should be banned (not that it would be any help).
