No he won the last encounter at WTTC of course

Good shout, thanks. How could I forget that super-entertaining 4-2.

First win for Gauzy against him in seven tries, yeah?

It's now 4-2 in LGT Vs Gauzy, with Gauzy having won the last two in 2025 and the previous four losses dating back to before 2017.

Quadri has been owned by Omar for so long I wonder whether he has any revenge wins left in him. It's like the harder Quadri spins, the better Omar counters. He has a Quadri ball pinpoint tracker.

Togami destroyed noshad alamiyan but noshad is not happy at all, constant complaining and arguing throughout the match. not really sure why but i think noshad had an issue with Togamis serve

You surprised Noshad not happy? Nobody happy when losing

That's https://results.ittf.link/, head to head tab. That page has some nice functions, like a player's match or rank history etc

Nice, I've bookmarked that for the future. Thanks again, @Bollwerk

well of course he's not happy but its not normal to express this to the other player like he did

They registered him for the 3BL and he will play in the 3BL but he will also play in the 2BL if some player is missing. Not every contract is for one year or more, some are per game, so when you see some registered players in a club doesen`t mean that these players will play 100% of the games. So he will probably fill in in some of the games in the 2BL.

looking forward to him in 2BL
Got 8 Taiwanese (I manage 4) and 3 Koreans (I managed all 3) waiting for him. But if he plays down, then only 1 Taiwanese might meet him. If he plays up, then 3 October, hopefully he is playing as he should be facing a 17 turning 18 years old Taiwanese player

I haven't watched too many matches, but I was wondering has anyone seen TTR being used at all yet in this tournament? Or maybe everyone's cleaned up their services in anticipation.

There was one unsuccessful call by Assar, got correctly faulted for hidden serve

What's the story behind this Diaz/Lind pairing?

Not complaining, I really like it. Both weird playing styles with attitude lol

 

[turbozed]

Anyone else finding this better lit and more color-filled "Renaissance Arena" way more pleasing to the eye the "Infinity Arena"?

The production quality also back on track after the sub-par 480p Yokohama event. Remember Harimoto glitching out in the semi-finals? haha

After watching this match, I just came to hate Noshad as a person, world class player with a mentality worse than a club player. Always complaining when it's not going his way, zero sportsmanship, does his disease also affect his head lmao

Nah, this was far more than being unhappy about a loss. And it's not about Togami's serve, either.

Match is here, starts ~ 45min:

First game goes by uneventfully. After Alamanya's served point at 0-0 to start the second game (~52min) the gestures of discontent begin. At 4-4 (54 min), another Alamanya served point, his gesticulations become more exaggerated, then again @ 4-6 (this time after Togami serve). At 56 min mark he approaches the asst umpire and begins complaining - ump says "It's ok." At 1:03 mark - again after point on his own serve, he complains. At ~1:04 the match concludes and more words were had btween players, with the head ump, and even briefly with Togami's coach.

For the life of me, can't figure out what had him so agitated.

No idea, but I dig it! Was excited to see it as the opener on the main table and made it a point to be seated and attentive before the start. And as I mentioned upthread (at the time it was 2 games a piece), it was great fun to watch. Hope we get to see a lot more of them together!
