United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

[driversbeat]

She played Han Ying for the first time at the German Open in 2014/2015 that Mima won in diapers. Han Ying won the first 3 games to go up 3-0, then Mima came back to win 4-3. She has never lost to Han Ying since, it is the most boring matchup in all of table tennis. Even matchups like Ma Long vs Dima or Ma Long vs Mizutani or FZD vs Boll pretend to be intriguing.

I can’t lie, those services did look illegal, was defo not less than 30 degrees. I wonder if there’s any fines coming to the French team given the reactions from Alexis and Molin

Tanaka does it again, pls give this dude a sponsor ffs

He’s sponsored by Butterfly

 

[Peter93]

serve fault controversy put a damper on an otherwise awesome match, good win for Tanaka. came right down to it. overall good behavior from Lebrun given the situation (faulted two serves in a row 5-5 in game 5, no TTR available).

Well right after he left sight of the camera you could hear screaming, and he was also castigated by the empire for using the table to tie his shoes.

Yeah, somehow that skipped my mind when I looked at their head to head. But it was long enough ago that I forgave myself. And it only got worse after that.

true, you're right. its all relative. Adam just talked about the metal plate he had put in his hand...

Alexis didnt even bother shaking the umpires hand hahaha

It is always unfortunate when the players pretend that the umpire is the first person to tell them their serves have issues,

another decider!!! hina vs miwa

Kanazawa Port has finally signed him on in April after 3 years as their T.League player, making him the first JTTA-registered player to be affiliated with Kanazawa Port. That's about it, which is ridiculous.

Hayata the blocker again...

 

[Dr Evil]

Miwa self-destructs vs Hina.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

As I projected, Hayata could very well drop out of the top 10 come this August if she finishes R16 (Miwa) here and get stuck in the "PDR hell", what Hirano experienced for 2 years.

Therefore, JTTA will have to take that into account when formulating the new selection system.

Hina says ... Challenge accepted.

 

[zeio]

2 service faults were fatal. Still subconsciously afraid of Hayata, even if the game plan was already perfected.

WS R16
Hayata (9) 3-2 Harimoto (6) (-3, 6, 9, -9, 8)
G5 05, 15 Harimoto served off the table...

小美和，为什么一直过不了早田这一关？ (Little Miwa, why does she keep failing to get past Hayata?)

老弗（不是面条版） 这次看得出来是心理问题比较大了，一局两个发球自杀太罕见，不知道是不是发球自杀后收紧，下面正手抢攻就马上失误，然后彻底没希望

(It can be seen that the psychological problem is relatively serious this time. It is very rare to have two suicide serves in one game. I don’t know if it is because she tightened up after the suicide serve, and then made a mistake in the next forehand attack, and then all hope was lost)

张本美合的相持已经退化到最多二三板了吗？
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9862817683
我是一只鱼fish 现在好像就是打二个大角，然后就站桩不动，没准备第二板或者第三板了
难怪死加质量，然后加质量又失误一堆，正手最多二板，如果不能一板过就老火
早田现在的质量，状态，就退个台就把张本美合相持直接打爆。
正反手不断失误，失误，靠发急长续命一局，然后五比零领先，除了发急长其他什么都不敢打了
这相持能力打国乒没得打。

(Now it seems that she just aims for two big corners, then stands still, without preparing for the second or third shot
No wonder she keeps upping [shot] quality, and then makes a lot of mistakes. She can only hit two shots on forehand at most, and if she can't get through with a winner, she loses her cool
With Hayata's current quality and form, she can beat Harimoto Miwa directly in rallies by retreating from the table.
Tons of mistakes on forehand and backhand, and relying on long and quick serves to extend one game, and then leading 5:0, and she didn't dare to play anything else except long and quick serves
This rallying ability is no match for the CNT.)

(Miwa had another big poop at the critical moment. She has had three poops in a row from the World Cup and WTTC)

 

[turbozed]

Hina not ready to be surpassed by her juniors just yet.

Thought when I saw that she started her own youtube channel that she was heading towards the Ishikawa media personality route:

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

What a fighter Hina Hayata is! She acknowledged in the post game interview that she's not at her best. And to give that kind of performance flaws and all to beat Miwa, who looked at times unstoppable by anybody, was pretty amazing to watch.

"Only Good for Doubles" vs the Japanese Pocket Rocket. Wonder who will win... (don't let the names fool you).

Feel free to convince the CNT and those around. They don't see Hayata as a threat. They're projecting 3 years from now. Hayata keeping Miwa at bay is what they are glad to see. So you're actually supporting them by cheering on Hayata.

"Only Good for Doubles" refuses to accept her name and rather than lose 0-3, comes back to take it to the 5th... stay tuned...

"Only Good for Doubles" enters the Avatar state and wins the final game 11-5. Very overrated.
