WTT Champions Montpelier is the next Champions tournament on the calendar. All the top players (that are within the NER limit) are listed. This marks the first Champions tournament where Hitomi Sato takes the 4th spot of the Japanese women.

The women’s draw is out!

It’ll be interesting to see how Pavade fares against H. Sato. She’s been doing well against choppers lately, having beaten Han Ying 3–0 at the ITTF World Team Championships and French league choppers Yuka Kaneyoshi and Alexia Nodin 3–2.

Men's Draw is out as well

There are choppers, then there are Sato and Hashimoto lol....

 

[NextLevel]

Men's Draw is out as well

I know Champions events are tough but maybe it is the absence of Australian players and the fact only 8 players are seeded but i can't remember a draw quite this dangerous. You can lose a lot of money betting on this lol...

Did Hashimoto pull out? Don’t see her name on the draw

Every country is capped at 4 (if you don't have Olympic champions who want to come back and play).

Ok thought the limit was 5

Ok thought the limit was 5

China can do 5 on men's side because WCQ is a champion or 6 on women's side (SYS, WMY) and Japan can do 5 if Ito want's to play but all regular countries have to do 4 and even China and Japan if those players are not involved. Also, WTT nominations and host wildcards can take a country past 4.

Ito can't as the Olympic Gold Cards are limited to those from the last edition only.

Crazy comeback from Ranefur over Anton Kallberg!

 

[Sali]

I would not call it come back, Anton was much better but he lost everything in his head. Check out how many easy balls he lost in the last set. He should have take time out when it was 10:7 in fourth.

 

[zeio]

MS R32
Ranefur WR29 3-2 Kallberg WR25 (-7, -8, 7, 10, 8)
G5 15, 35, 36, 56, 57, 97, 98, 118

Ranefur WR29 3-2 Kallberg WR25 (-7, -8, 7, 10, 8)
G5 15, 35, 36, 56, 57, 97, 98, 118

a nice way to celebrate his silver european champs medal

 

[JustANoob]

What did Kallberg do to get a yellow card? They didnt show.

 

[pingpongnerd]

Lds hiding his hook serve as usual. Are they using hawk eye and TTR ?
