WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 - 4-9 NOV 2025

[linuques]

Water not good for Japanese players in the evening session. But Annett still has a lot to learn about playing really good defenders. Sabine clearly wasn't joking around last week so that is still a point of separation between the more experienced players (Sabine, Nina) and Annett.

Man, neo Sabine is an absolute beast, she plays like an enraged brawler lol
Another demolition job against Fu Yu, countless times Fu winced after a blitzkrieg of FH bombas. At some point I just felt bad for the Portuguese.
Excited to see her today vs Miwa.

Same here. Today's match will answer more questions that the experts have posed. The experts cited the 3-2 match.vs Yu Fu at Euro Teams Champs as evidence that Sabine is not that good. Thier silence after yesterday's 3-0 victory is telling. They are waiting for Sabine to lose so they can resume spouting nonsense.

Last point from Dima was typical for Tomo, no reaction at all on his FH, only rubbernecking.
It is high time that Tomo started thinking about what to do next.

LMAO even.

Goda's physicality looked great at African Champs. It didn't translate as well in Montpellier but it is doing great here. When I sau Doo was playing really well, people dont realize it. Goda is legit top 10 at her max level now she is just too young and inconsistent to select it consistently.

Although it is an inner carbon, it is an extremely fast inner blade. Almost similar in speed to the Viscaria.

I would not call it slow.

The sticky rubber is the X-factor on speed. Not so much the blade.

Naysayers abound, no one in their right mind should disregard neo Sabine in her current form, anti or not.
Montpellier was hers if not for Yidi gatekeeping CHT's monopoly - still the German was a hair close to winning it.

Mr. I-want-to-challenge-Fan-Zhendong now has a new player to challenge LOL.

So why WCQ could not do the same in Paris or LSD in Sweden ? Truls game depends on his mood, he has won the Euro Smash, then took a rest. He's won Montpellier's champions, and you already knew he was going to Frankfurt like a tourist. Why do you think only his brother can coach him ? there are players like that are really difficult to coach because they'll always play free, they want to be free in their mind, even if they loose. Same sh*t happens with Alexis Lebrun

"va te faire foutre et démerde toi" --> go fck yourself and deal with it. Yeaaaaah.

Wang's head to head against Truls is 9-1 or so. The loss in the Olympics was just Wang having a below par day at work + the circumstances around the Olympics imo, because we've seen many situations when they're both playing well and Wang wins.
Shidong is a special case. He looks vulnerable against of the top right-handed players, and has things to sort out in his game.

You are making his point because you don't understand the conversation.

Gauzy is in the form of his life, he's just defeated Hugo 3-1. Take a bow son.

Both Harimoto siblings need to take breaks imo. Never understood why they played the Contenders or even Star Contenders tbh. At least don’t go to EVERY single one lol

It's just Japan - Taiwan cooperation. The Japanese play themselves till they're spent in pursuit of points that don't matter. Tony gets to rehash his talking points every other month.

Power of wit. Gozyer is a wittifulness itself. Heh, pure muscularity is of little help in table tennis. 😜😜😜😜

Gauzy doing Gauzy things. Hugo wasn't allowed to play his thid ball TT because his serve game was known to the opponent and is too lazy.

 

[megaboyd]

Dima isn’t playing with his Ovtcharov ALC. anyone know which blade he is playing with?

That put things in perspective!

 

[mikeytt]

i havent seen hugo look this uncomfortable back from the table in a while, a lot of his fh going into the net.

during that world cup phase it seemed like every rally where he was at distance from the table he would win it

lovely morning of table tennis!

one thing that stood out to me was the number of errors both hugo and bruna made after playing a strong forehand to opponents backhand, with ball returned to their backhand with float/less topspin than expected, and aggressively hitting it right into the net. Bruna started to make the adjustment to continue spinning but fell back to it G5.

Gauzy backhand away from the table these days is a huge strength. And the extra curve he can add making it go into Hugo/s body gave him all sorts of trouble from any distance.
