[Rao01]

Whats happening with Anders Lind, doesn't seem to be in his elements these days. Looks like some form of fitness problem? Struggles to move.

Apparently, he’s having a problem with the ball-and-socket joint in his right hip. It’s not the first time I’ve seen him struggling with that.
I’m a bit worried about his career in top-level sport.

Harimoto does well in revenge matches (unless the opponent's name is Xue Fei), I am sure he will have something for Vladi.

Most of them were completely off the mark....

 

[boretennis]

i'm not seeing the upcoming frankfurt live stream on the youtube channel yet, not matter which country vpn i try. is it not there yet? i see all the upcoming streams for the feeder event.

 

[Conehead]

I think it'll come after 12 - at least that was the case yesterday unless I'm mistaken.

Now live: A. Kaufmann vs Doo HK:

Recency.bias is a thing lol.

Han Ying delivered a brutal performance beating Yidi 3:0🏓

KM and CY passed the chopper exam. WYD... not so much.

WS R32
WYD WR4 (3) 0-3 HY WR35 (-8, -10, -4)
Cunning CNT. Trying to put Odo back in the selection race with >= 700 pts?

KM and CY passed the chopper exam. WYD... not so much.

To be honest all chinese womens players look unconvincing against choppers, except Sys.

Odo just gave a lession how to handle choppers. Sato didnt even look bad, but Odo is really safe and straight in her attacks.

Sadly I wont see another match of Sato here, but definitely worth to see the chopping live at least once

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Who doesn't love a good Cinderella story, but Satsuki Odo is the Midnight to Hitomi and Honoka's Cinderella story.

The best attackers against choppers from memory are all shorter, more petite players - Odo, SYS and previously Ito and LSW. It does seem like their compact strokes lend itself well to continuous power-looping to lift the underspin loll

I hope AJH's flight is covered by WTT since he was called in to replace only at the very last minute

Oh, he's fine. $4500 for R32. Should be more than enough even without free hospitality.

https://wttwebcmsprod.blob.core.windows.net/technicaldocuments/WTT_Series & Feeder_Handbook_2026.pdf

2.13 Reserve and/or Alternate Players/Pair
a. Reserve:
Up to two (2) reserve players (WTT Finals, WTT Champions) and one (1) pair (WTT Finals) may be invited
to replace a withdrawn/cancelled/injured player/pair through the completion of the first round.
WTT, at its sole discretion, may alter the number of reserve players/pairs per event. The first reserve will
have 48 hours (or less if closer to the time of the first draw) to verify their status as a reserve.
Reserves, if invited to be onsite reserves, are entitled to receive hospitality, from the night before the event
starts until the completion of the first round.
If after accepting their position as reserve, they decide to cancel their participation - the player/pair shall be
fined the relevant cancellation fines for the Event and any other applicable fines.
b) Alternate Player/Pair due to last minute withdrawal:
If a withdrawal occurs less than 24 hours from the time of the first draw, WTT reserves the right to fill the
unoccupied position at its discretion when time does not allow for filling the position with a reserve.

As @zeio pointed out, there is a reason why most lower ranked players who get invited never miss them. The loss is worth it. It is the top players who can be pickier and if AJH really cared, he could have been picky as well.

 

[NextLevel]

she won the Panam Champs again. mission accomplished
secured her WR20 for some time. 200points gap with next group of players.

but going to be tough for her to get back in to top10 with this kind of form and the existing competition

She beat Joo Cheonhui at Montpellier, you didn't say anything.

She loses here to exactly the same player, you start posting as if she only beats players from the Americas.

Don't be like those who only like to post when things are going their way..

Ding Ning often did as well, the result is what matters.
