WS R16
SYB WR11 (10) 3-2 Hayata WR6 (6) (-10, 11, 10, -6, 9)
G5 106, 108 corner edge for Hayata, 109, 119
1st win for the overrated SYB.

CNT: Hayata for LA28!
SYB: Put me on the Great Wall of Opponents!!!

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. SYB gets her first win against Hina. Congrats to SYB.

While you might never believe it matters from all the Tieba analysis, Shin is younger and getting older and more experienced and has gotten closer in recent matches. Someone had to win the battle of the Tieba overrated.

Haha, Got two wrongs in the first three matches. Who knows it would be the time that SYB beats Hayata.

LJK played like he could not wait to get out of the stadium ASAP.

LJK was clearly rusty, I thought he played well against a tough opponent. Maybe Sora will show us how tough the opponent is, that is in flux as well lol...

No chance in WD either, now that CNT is getting serious.

WD R16
Chitale/Ghorpade (6) 2-3 Gao Yuxin/Xiang Junlin (WC) (10, -4, -7, 8, -8)

Let's see how many I get right for session 1.

What a match - every game was minimum 2 points, every game Feng won was 11-9 (including a comeback from 5-9 in the 5th), every game Wim won was at deuce. Wim will not sleep easy tonight lol...

IF someone told me that Zibing usually beats Kuai in practice, I would easily believe it lol.

 

[NextLevel]

Wow... setting him up to put him down? The greatest enemy of the CNT is defeated! In straight sets as well by a player that he has never lost to before...

ZQH for 1st Singles at ATTC!

ZQH for 1st Singles at ATTC!

This is CHINA!

 

[zeio]

MS R16
ZQH WR16 (14) 3-0 Harimoto WR4 (3) (9, 8, 9)
G3 37, 57, 58, 68 TO for Harimoto, 78, 79, 119

Too much attention on noise outside the court, even more distracted than Gauzy. Trying to stir things up like he did at WTT CS Yokohama 2025 (especially the handshake issue w/ WH) is not gonna work again.

CHN and KOR, not to mention the other Asian countries and regions, are pissed at JPN after Aichi-Nagoya 2026. Wedging yourself in this spat is simply suicidal.

Go ahead, at least his serves are legal.

This is CHINA!

That fire in his eyes seems about right.

The Sora half of the draw is so much more interesting than the Felix half

 

[zeio]

WD QF
Harimoto/Hayata (1) 3-2 Chien Tung-Chuan/Li Yu-Jhun (7) (9, -10, 9, -8, 6)

And JTTA wants to bet on this pair at LA28? Still 22 months away and Hayata is already suffering like this...

Also, I have a hunch CTC could make the WS again for LA28.

WS R32
Zhu Sibing (Q) 3-2 CTC (-7, 5, 5, -7, 8)
WS R64
CTC 3-1 Hursey (-6, 8, 7, 15)

I often read "Tieba" in this forum, what does that stand for?

 

[passifid]

It's a bit of an inside joke. Zieo likes to force his opinions without ever relenting and a lot of his "evidence" is just what people like us post on Tieba but is presented as absoloute fact.

Its just a chinese web forum and not anything related to professional table tennis

Literally "Thread Bars", by Baidu. One of the oldest (even predates Reddit) and biggest internet forums for anything in China.
