ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

[Angerer]

Props to Darko for playing like a beast.

But man, you gotta admire WCQ's mental fortitude. During autumn 2024 the Chinese team was seriously concerned he might have become the 2nd Lin Gauoyan after a series of losses. Instead, he pulls off incredible comebacks--the former boy is the real warrior now.

Honoka is playing great but she starts to run a bit out of steam it seems. Hoping WMY gets exhausted as well

Fundamentally it is about playing level and style. He has gotten better at selecting and taking risks and his control is off the charts.

Why can't they implement the expedition after the point has finished than interrupt midway?

Nah no way she csn get exhausted in China. Not Wang Manyu. You will carry her off on a stretcher first.

Expedite!!! 😳

They may carry her off on a stretcher but that'll only be after she gets exhausted 😂

Hashimoto almost had a point go to 13 shots on WMY’s serve but WMY won it at 12

 

[piligrim]

WCQ vs Sora in final will be epic

WCQ vs Sora in final will be epic

Sora has to beat LYJ first, which he hasn’t ever done yet.

I hope he will this time

 

[dewnyc]

WMY excited like I’ve never seen before, even more than winning the world championship in 2021 and Olympic team gold in 2024. This was a quarterfinal match that didn’t even go 7 games.

Hugo & Alexis will start about 1 hr 45 min behind schedule, around 10 pm in Macao

Because that point could go on forever back in the days...

And nowadays, the point at, say, 9:8 (expedite rule suppressed if at 9:9 and beyond), could change the course of the game and even ultimately the match.

WS QF
Hashimoto 2-4 WMY (8, -8, -11, 8, -5, -9)

Other than Hashimoto, JPN women made a rather poor showing here. Pretty solid proof that Odo's win at WTT CS Chongqing 2026 was "man-made" to sabotage JNT, with Winter and SYB now "admitted" to the top 10 to push Hayata, Ito and Odo further down the WR.

Recent events suggest it's getting more and more likely the MT will carry the WT.

9 Hayata
10 Ito
11 Odo
12 Winter
13 SYB

For all Alexis's physical talent, there is only one Hugo.

WCQ vs Sora in final will be epic

Sora has never beaten Lin. Jist saying.

 

[NetProphet]

Sora has never beaten Lin. Jist saying.

And WCQ V Hugo.....well let's just say that WCQ isn't the defending Champion

 

[longle]

Sora has to beat LYJ first, which he hasn’t ever done yet.

and look at LYJ's form against Harimoto yesterday...

These "foreign" players are still scared of beating cnt players. Probably they have not thought about it as it has never came close. But they would probably start thinking about it when you were so close and missed the chance.
