CXT is really poor at adapting to different balls and/or tables (ATTC 2024 and here, aside from others). She also doesn't play as well in CS for some reason, losing to Szocs, Goda et al...

This is so funny.

I speak to players
zeio, what does he do? search on the internet only, haha

his credibility is so low. you unplug his internet, he will have nothing - valueless/useless.

DHK's English teacher is one of my students
DHK is great friends with a lot of my Taiwan women coach friends (they are in my Cathay Life video).
I tried to get DHK to play Pro A, I don't know how many times I tried to pair her with clubs, over half a dozen times. I also tried to get her to UTT

any ways, i'm sure zeio thinks my client list is fake
and so is the fake Fan Siqi, CNT player I bought with to India which was so high class hospitality that zeio just cannot grasp.

meanwhile, i think zeio is fake, and he is only as good as what tieba tells him.

So the last time DHK decline a very attractive Pro A offer, she said she has too much stress and injury on her body (her exact words), and she can't really be putting any more competition into her schedule as she need to make use of what ever rest time she can find to let the body rest and heal.

To me, avg of 2 internationals a month is not helping, but she doesn't really have a choice to stay afloat world rankings. And here we back at scheduling issues of just way too many events.

never the less, what did DHK tell zeio?? other than what media has put into the media world either by players speaking out, or from reporters. You always need to remove narratives from these messages that are "designed for PR".

zeio should ask DHK if she knows Tony, and then it will save me a lost of "waste my time" post on him.

I'm still waiting for zeio to show us who he is, and how connected he is with the table tennis world and no, tieba doesn't count!
Did Fan Siqi tell you Wang Manyu was barred from competing at the worlds, as you insisted, when you ended up being awfully wrong because it was a preliminary list uploaded by the ITTF without the input of the CTTA?
Did She tell you Xue Fei qualified for WTT Champions (can't remember the name) like you claimed when in actuality he was only a replacement for Lin Gaoyuan?

Anyone catch the little bit of drama after the Harimoto/XP match?

HT goes over to shake Wang Hao's hand. Wang Hao really wants to lay into XP, doesn't really acknowledge HT, and sticks his arm out lazily while facing the opposite direction.

HT kinda left hanging, goes over to try the handshake again.

Then HT goes over to his own coach, points out Wang Hao's non-handshake to his coach and even mimics what he did. Coach seems to say "don't worry about it."

You can't say that..... That's bullying.
You also can't call your compatriot that you've always rooted for all year long a tourist as a joke. Must be bullying!!!
DHK: Just for zeio's future reference, I had no problem calling myself a piece of crap. How much can crappy hurt?

「去年受傷時很迷茫,甚至有一段時間覺得無辦法、要退役。我經常跟瑞姐(港乒女子隊教練張瑞)說,(距離奧運)還有1年,但我都頂不住,我現在好像擗屎一樣,又打得不好,手又弄不好,又要不停去比賽,不斷輸,很難受。那時候去比賽,我覺得又不是在比賽,只有軀體在,靈魂不在。」

Harimoto in great form !! It’s gonna be a revenge match against Wang Chuqin again I think
Repeat whooping
The coaches of the Chinese women's team managed to bring these two tennis players into the top ten of the rankings.
SHI Xunyao
CHEN Yi
Bring? They beat some of the best players. It's clearly their time to be part of the limelight.

Just from the way Hayata is pushing so hard in the first few games, I'm pretty sure she has taken another injection. See if she can take it before the effect wanes.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. She already took a multi-month break after Paris 2024. Merely delaying the inevitable. Poor Miwa got robbed of a GS trophy like her oni-san at WTTC 2025.

Once again, besides what I've pointed out over past few months, namely her hand being finished and reliance on painkillers to play well, and a playing style that can't afford reduced training volume, it comes down to how she positions herself in this cycle, when she has acted otherwise.

Yeah, nablaz pointed it out in #231 and I was just about to elaborate on it until I saw you did. Harimoto obviously felt disrespected by it. Whether it was meant as such, or simply Wang Hao too eager to do a Bobby Knight and lay into his player immediately, it was poor form.

I'm a firm believer in the "praise in public, scold in private" school of thought - whether parenting or coaching.

Did Tony say:

A) I spoke to DHK and the following is what she told me word for word?

or

B) I spoke to DHK, and separately, this is my opinion of what she needs to do based on our discussion?

I read it as B.
This is cute, Obviously a bit different from the situation I got tangled in not long ago, but I'm surprised we now distinguish between verbatim reports, and opinions. That was exactly what I stood for but I got flamed. Cos when the person in question claimed in a thread that "Rumors say so and so person was barred from playing" and I dismissed that obvious opinion as just "rumors", I came under fire because I am not in contact with so and so player like he is. Cool.

Here's a clip of the Harimoto/WH handshake incident:


I didn't notice it the first time, but after trying to shake hands with Wang Hao, Harimoto turns around again and shakes hands with the air. LOL

Hayata is such a bad matchup for Prof. Chen's taichi style in a 7-game thriller. CXT just has to wait it out for Hayata to exhaust herself and/or make more mistakes from all the high risk shots.

Big man, you have all the references in the world and you're still peddling disinformation on this platform when it suits you. I think self awareness is key here.

Tired of seeing Tongtong win impressive slug outs against Hayata/Mima/Miwa and then lose to Yidi or KM in the final. Like Girl! Come on! Get this title!!!
CXT = Tanaka of CNT.

Really makes you wonder what's in them they don't like?
