Eugene should retire

Well, Sharara expected him and Zhang Mo to do so after Tokyo 2020.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Nah, JNT gets an unfair edge over even CNT and Tony's Table Tennis is silent about it.

So for 2 x WTTC in a row, CNT gets more hours on table 1 and 2 in the build up to the opening.
CNT and JNT enters the same amount of players.
why does CNT get more hours?

can you answer that please.
Then we can talk about JNT

What happened to Alexis? Walkover?

 

[Dexarys]

What happened to Alexis? Walkover?

The medical recovery protocol did not allow him to play two matches on the same day, so the decision was taken to remove him from the singles draw.
I think they'd rather not take any risks.

 

[TTAntiPlayer]

pretty low move from Xengtong Chen

What happened?

 

[d3nium]

What happened?

Time wasting to put off Kaufmann.

 

[TTAntiPlayer]

She asked for a TTR just when Annette was on fire, only to disturb her rhythm, it was called a fault serve, but it was just 3 degrees off. It wasn’t hidden or thrown too low otherwise.

 

[driversbeat]

What happened?

General time wasting aside, she also successfully challenged a marginal serve after Kaufmann built up momentum in the 6th. When she was (finally) yellow carded for time wasting, she proceeded to waste even more time by asking for a ball change LOL. Credit to CXT for withstanding the pressure and knowing just how far she can push the boundaries. I guess that's experience. But players really shouldn't get to initiate TTR because it just becomes a free timeout during crucial moments. Let them challenge dubious umpire calls, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm impressed that Kaufmann managed to play so well and stage comeback after comeback despite all those mind games plus pushes to the middle and CXT's brickwall defensive game. What a waste to have met in R64.

Racket control video.... these umpires must be fired and pay fines to the players.
and investigation onto their bank accounts too.
why is the umpire even grabbing, or pushing or lifting into the envelope

支持停職調查這位裁判是否有不當交易，以及是否有遵照SOP領取並以正確的方式拿取選手的球拍。

Wtf, video evidence clear as day. The audacity to say to WCQ we did not peel your rubber and telling him to continue playing with it.

Where is this video evidence from. A fan recorded it or did ITTF release the footage out?

Fan recording

the fan said he/she already emailed ITTF asking for clarity on what the heck is going on

Lucky that the fan was at the right place at the right time. Hopefully there is timestamp info on the video so we know what time and day it was recorded to prove whether the time and day he was pressing the rackets like that was before WCQ XD match with Hugo/Bruna. If the video evidence is true he’s done for. No player will want to have an umpire/racket inspector like that, I hope ITTF resolves this quickly.

Another one. These umpires can’t even look after the rackets properly.

 

[d3nium]

Lind vs Gauzy was one of the best matches i've ever seen, amazing stuff.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

I'm going to have to watch it on replay, but Yoshimura / Odo 3-0 over the Olympic silver medalists Ri / Kim is amazing!
