Josh Chua versus Istrate today was crazy

Feeder tournaments are no joke. Fourth seed, Manika Batra, had a bye in the 1st round and lost to Singapore chopper, Tan Zhao Yun, in R32.

tan zhaoyun is a fantastic giant killer, she gave hirano a hard time at the asian champs last year too

BTW, it looks like Iran has developed/acquired a fairly strong female player (Shima Safaei). She is only 22, so there is some upside left as well. But her performance at this event so far is nothing to sniff at.

Oh and move over Benyamin Faraji, welcome Emanuel Otalvaro LOL.

Feeder tournaments are no joke. Fourth seed, Manika Batra, had a bye in the 1st round and lost to Singapore chopper, Tan Zhao Yun, in R32.

It doesn't have to do with Feeder being a joke or not. Batra is a joke against choppers. Her 2 wins over SHW (albeit close to retirement) in 2023 and 2024 and close match against Bergstrom in 2023 showed she worked on it but those are outliers that don't buck the trend.

Feeder used to be harder to win than Contender and Star Contender, best-of-7 all the way through for main draw in 2022, its inaugural year.

Oh and move over Benyamin Faraji, welcome Emanuel Otalvaro LOL.

saw Emanuel quite a few times training in person. A kid also willing to listen and learn.
very promising kid and led by a very hard working and very young Colombian coach.
Kid lives with the coach in Portugal, the coach is both a coach, legal guardian and fatherly figure - huge respect to him.

The kid moved to Portugal when he was 13~14 years old and training full time and he has already trained in Taiwan 2 times in the past 3 months and 4 times the past 12 months, of stints of 10 days to 20 days each.

I have lined up an All Japan high school silver medalist to also be part of his training group in Portugal, looking to also visit the Portugal base soon.

Ashtari, the one who gave Hirano a hard time at WTTC 2024, also did well here, beating Takeya 3-2. Egypt could use caution for WTTC 2026. ATTTC 2025 is gonna be interesting.

For whatever reason, she withdrew late for WTT FEE Otocec and Otocec II 2025.

For future reference, after first noticing at World University Games 2025.

Idesawa has a different gait now, a more muscular lower body, much like Hayata from 2018.

Uda the surpasser is back!

MS F
Uda 3-0 Sakai (8, 5, 5)
With this win, every Zennihon Takkyu winner since 2018 now has an international MS title. Took long enough.

All-Japanese finals in singles, plus 3 Japanese gold in the doubles.
