It wasn't all smooth sailing for Matsushima and Togami this time here either, with both barely edging out Gerrassimenko and OJS in the 5th game, respectively. While it's true there could be occasions where their men would carry their women, the record in XTWC suggests that their women would save the ass of their men more than the other way around.

Lol JPN in trouble after they decided it's not worth sending Matsushima

Tomo struggles a lot with Kirill's serves to his FH for some reason

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

It was a bit too close for comfort. Despite the 3-1 score, Kirill put Tomo under a lot of pressure.

Looks like Hongkong is overmatched by Taiwan...

Not just the men, but the Hong Kong women's team also loses to Taiwan. And Taiwan played without their ace player, CIC. Kudos to Yeh Yi-Tian for beating both Su Tsz Tung and Doo Hoi Kem. The Tiebans are not going to be happy about this.

With the Tiebans, you never know, they might dislike CIC enough to celebrate a Taiwan win without her.

We have heard the Tiebans complain about the incompetence of Coach Kishikawa in not using his depth behind the top 3 more often. Hopefully this match gives Tiebans encouraging evidence lol (he will be accused of not *preparing* them to play Kazakhstan lol).

Poor guy again. Who else but me to straighten you out?

Even Harimoto said in the interview that even he didn't know why Kishikawa didn't field Matsushima and he knew that lineup would end up going down to the wire. Whether or not he's holding back information, something is seriously wrong with the chain of command (that was already raised back at ATTC 2025), when their 2nd and 3rd singles players were replaced by two who had never played in those positions out of the blue here (that they could've experienced at WTTC 2026), going up against the 1st and 2nd [placed in 3rd here] singles players of the opposing team, especially the former that has defeated their current WR1.

贴吧用户_JRUXe78 24亚锦赛老盒感冒，团体排位赛不管输赢下一届种子位都是一样的，老盒以为自己不用上，完全没做准备，最后打港队一单丢两分了。
这次亚锦赛松猪没上场，日男差点翻车输哈萨克斯坦，老盒赛后采访说不太知道为什么松猪没上场，让记者去问松猪和教练。

(At the 2024 Asian Championships, Old Carton caught a cold. Since the seeding for the next edition would remain the same regardless of the outcome of the team ranking matches, Old Carton assumed he wouldn’t need to play and hadn’t prepared at all—only to end up losing two points while playing as the number 1st singles player against the HKG team.
Meanwhile, Matsu-Pig did not get fielded in this Asian Championships, and the Japanese men nearly suffered a disastrous upset against KAZ. In a post-match interview, Harimoto mentioned that he wasn’t entirely sure why Matsu-Pig didn’t play, suggesting that reporters should ask Matsu-Pig and the coach instead.)

Wow, are you still hung up on this? Sora didn't even play against Kazakhstan. Yes, as I previously stated, had the Olympics not dropped Men's Teams for LA2028 and if Tomo and Sora play to their potential, Japan would have had a very good shot at winning gold at the Olympics. As others have noted in that thread, that's a reasonable statement after Japan had just won the MT gold at the Asian Games beating China in the MT finals.

这是日乒最富经验最会排兵布阵最会给战术指导之人 (This is the person in Japanese table tennis with the most experience, the greatest skill in setting up lineups, and the best ability to provide tactical guidance)

311的开始 大登25世乒赛输的就是门科，而且如果张本不知道松岛为啥不打，那大登大概率也没备战门科，输球很奇怪吗。至于阿兰，本来就是二单下三单的，他世乒赛团体我记得上过两三届了，今年世乒赛团体赢了罗伯勒斯，也是很会打团体的，田中都多久没上过大赛团体了。

(Hiroto lost to exactly [Gerassi]menko at WTTC 2025. Furthermore, if Harimoto didn’t know why Matsushima wasn’t playing, it’s highly likely that Hiroto hadn’t prepared for Menko either—so is it really that strange that he lost? As for Alan, he’s a player who has transitioned from the 2nd-singles to the 3rd-singles position; if I recall correctly, he has been part of the WTTTC squad for 2 or 3 editions. He even defeated Robles at this year’s WTTTC, proving he’s quite adept at team events. Meanwhile, it’s been ages since Tanaka last appeared in a major team tournament.)

(The group stage in London was truly the best opportunity to train the team—there’s no risk of elimination, the opponents were all strong, and the level of intensity was just right)

AI时代坚持手搓 其实我觉得这把还是得怪岸川。户上宇田都伤了，怎么敢的不上松岛……大登和门科就是五五开水平赛前又不是不知道，这还是团体赛

(Honestly, I think the blame for this one lies with Kishikawa. With both Togami and Uda injured, how could he not field Matsushima? It was well known—even before the match—that Hiroto and Menko were evenly matched; and this is a team event, after all)
籽陶: 亚运金让岸川飘了，实际上还是没有老盒一单两分就回家的队伍，和从前有啥区别
2026-10-21 20:33回复
(Winning gold at the Asian Games has clearly gone to Kishikawa’s head. In reality, they’re still a team that can be sent packing if Old Carton fails to secure two points as 1st singles. How is that any different from before?)
乐观的加贝123: 而且大登八点半就打男单，还给排二单？？？什么逻辑

(And they’ve got Hiroto playing in MS at 8:30—and they even have him slotted as the 2nd singles player?? What kind of logic is that?)

Quite scary that no one mentions/questions Kishikawa at 5ch.

(When asked by Chinese media why Matsushima didn’t play, Harimoto responded with a rather ambiguous expression
Of course, it’s possible that the real reason is something a third party shouldn’t—or can’t—disclose publicly
Our ace is truly admirable, but perhaps he’s sacrificing his own interests a bit too much?)

(What was that look of exasperated, wry amusement on Harimoto’s face?
Did Matsushima say he didn’t want to play or something?
Honestly, it makes no sense that they had Shinozuka play two matches, especially when one of them overlapped with his singles match)
