35th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2026, Haikou, 2/4-8

[pongfugrasshopper]

Great win for YYT 3-2 over Manika Batra. She was up 10-8 in the decider, but Manika got it to deuce. Manika had a match point of her own, but YYT held her nerves and secured the win.

Overrated WCT finishing at the top of his group? Get outta here!

WCT either plays like prime Wang Hao, or typical Xue Fei

I heard he changed to using d09c on the forehand and zyre 03 on the backhand?

Whew! Kaho was in deep, deep trouble with winner advances vs. Li Yu-Jhun down 0-2 and things not looking good in the 3rd. But a good timeout changes her fortunes and she scrapes by -10,-8,10,8,8.

Ankur eliminates Chen Y - interesting that both Chen's get eliminated so China has Wang, Lin, Xiang and Zhou (who all finished first). Japan has everyone go through but Harrimoto and Tanaka second. WCT is a character for sure, beats the C and D players 3-2, 3-2 and A player Harimoto 3-1. Liu Guodong earned his paycheck for sure.

SYS has a huge chance of finally winning the Asian Cup, since WMY would probably be severely depleted (WYD, Hashimoto, Miwa/CXT) even if the latter manages to get through everyone in her half.

WCT may turn out to be the biggest blocker for WCQ, or if Tomo decides to finally show up.

WCT said he was using D09C 3 months ago.

He consulted with Xue Fei on how to play Harimoto before the match.

Thanks for this. So he did change to 09c on forehand and backhand. I recalled he said his stroke does not suit sticky rubber in an interview. Very interesting. His forhand
Is looking way stronger and spinier with 09C

You can beat Harimoto but you can't get a game off Chang Yu An...

Looking and being are not the same lol....

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

omg that between the legs in the exhbition point from kurmangaliyev had me crackin up

now its 10-8 and they call a timeout for Qihao

 

[NextLevel]

Shin has a really strong strategy vs Honoka... but somehow Honoka managed to take game 2 and the lead... but this will come down to execution because Honoka doesn't look good when Shin is pounding Honoka's forehand and moving her out of position to set up misdirections.

didn’t you rather mean “she’s is the best looking S Korea women’s player…”

Well everyone has its tastes. It’s debatable

For TT skills SYB seems still quite above to me but maybe her motivation is a bit down right now. It’s normal WTTC singles is next year only and Olympics further away.

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

we've got a decider on our hands here!!!

lets go SYB!!!
