WTT Champions Montpellier 2026 10/27-11/1

[TTAntiPlayer]

What happened to Yuling Zhu? is she injured or has she retired (again)?

MS R16
ZQH WR13 3-1 F. Lebrun WR2 (2) (-7, 9, 8, 7)
G4 13, 33, 34, 94, 95, 105, 107, 117

A fully-charged ZQH is the perfect table tennis organism. Also, Felix' FH got pinpointed.

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

Qihao just went full bulldozer mode, great performance

 

[NextLevel]

I agree, but I think it's safe to say it won't be the guy who is already eliminated

Well, Felix just joined him - will they host this tournament next year?

 

[Metaxa]

If his technical skill was above Tomo's he'd have better results if you ask me.

That’s means nothing. You can have better skills but if you can’t change your tactical mindset, then it’s gone be difficult.

WS R16
Winter WR9 1-3 Sato WR8 (8) (-8, 9, -3, -7)
Sato's BH serve with heavy backspin to Winter's short FH at 8:7 of G1 needs to be analyzed.
G2 31, 34, 84 sideline edge for Winter, 87 TO for Winter, 89 sideline edge for Sato, 119
G3 10, 14, 24, 25 epic 29-shot point, 27, 37, 311
No chance after Sato adjusted to Winter's anti spin-reversal by twiddling. Winter just couldn't hit past Sato. Very deflating.
G4 01, 31, 35, 65, 68 BH heavy backspin serve by Sato again, 78, 710 BH heavy backspin serve by Sato yet again, 711
Could've ended in 3 for Sato. Winter should've stayed more patient and used her anti more to draw Sato in, rather than brute-forcing every loop.

Predicting the QF winners:

Calderano
Woojin
LSD
ZQH

I can't see Sidorenko's game troubling Calderano

JWJ playing like a demon lately, don't think Liang is in good enough form yet

LSD I'm the least sure about. I think he wins if he doesn't implode

ZQH has been in top form all year, and he doesn't let people play the kind of open rally style that Franziska is so strong in. Can't see him losing, but of course Franziska can sometimes pull out a ridiculous performance.

Sidorenko
Liang
Truls
Franziska

The one I am surest of is Liang - the rest are up the air and I could flip them.

Now, I think LJK will lose with all your jinx.

 

[Matteones]

I come back from a long day and I treat myself with Gauzy - LJK highlights.
Gauzy is up 2-0, 5-2 or 6-2, I do the mistake of moving the mouse slightly and see how much match time remains.

Liang

Well I guess one of us has to be wrong. I'm either way on Truls vs LSD, but it'd be boring to hedge my bets

 

[kindof99]

Quite some interesting matches tomorrow.

 

[Grahf]

First time encounter Calderano vs Sidorenko, Hugo is playing in form but I believe Vlad has the better odds on winning, hope its a great game

Now we know the real reason Harimoto lost... he didnt want to relive his experience in London....

 

[jonol]

After Truls' points from last year's Montpellier expires he might end up dropping multiple rankings.

Both Hugo and LYJ exited early last year, and WCQ didn't play. If Truls doesn't place well and his points from last year expire he could end up down at #8.

Also it's crazy that Sora was WR#16 at this same time last year.

Now, I think LJK will lose with all your jinx.

The last time Liang lost a singles match to Jang was at the Korea Open in 2017 in straighr sets where Jang won every event he played in. He also lost to Jang when they wee juniors and mighr have lost in doubles in Houston as well. But in singles, he knows how to handle forehand players. But Jang is hot but I think it is easy to forget how good Liang is because he has been injured for a while.

We will see. But LJK might not be as good as you think currently.

It is also interesting to see whether Truls calls out LSD's serve if he gets that hooked serve.

that's it!
