  1. JTTA Selection Trial for ATTC 2026 and WTTC Continental Stage 2027, 5/26-27

    Anyone knows the exact date for the rankings cutoff? 14 days before ATTU entry but the ATTU website doesn't seem to list the exact entry date. Seems like its between Odo, Hashimoto, Hayata and Ito at this point. Sato has crept back up to 23 and has an outside chance of making it. Ranking 7th...
  2. JTTA Selection Trial for ATTC 2026 and WTTC Continental Stage 2027, 5/26-27

    Low chance for Hashimoto to win a selection trial anyway so that gamble makes sense for her. But can Japan really say they're sending their strongest team to ATTC 2026 and WTTC 2027 without her? Hmm...

    Good to have multiple sources of income in this economy

    Did they forget to update the website? 😂
  5. Thread about Japanese Players

    What's stopping Denso from signing Sato and sending them to doubles? They could literally change Japanese table tennis history.
  6. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Anyone knows where to watch the Japanese live telecast? Miwa seems to be commentating alongside Sayaka Hirano.

    If I were Boros, I might put Winter in 3 to catch Hashimoto or Hayata, Kaufmann in 2 to catch Miwa, and Han Ying at 1 to tire out the first two singles.

    Wan Yuan played the third tie against England. Unfortunately she's just not as reliable as her teammates for more important matches. Hopefully Germany will find more use for her in doubles XT.

    Kaufmann beating Sreeja and Batra at the Olympics wasn't a fluke. She's a long pips killer and big match fighter. Definitely the favourite pick for LA28 singles if she continues this trajectory.
  10. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Seems like Germany has two main lineups. One with Kaufmann against stronger teams and another with Nina against weaker teams. A sign of how Boros regards their upper and lower limits?

    I thought Nagasaki would have been a better option against pips for both Germany and LUX but seems like JNT is not even going to pretend that they're considering using her for the final and are focused on building up Hashimoto's confidence instead. As much as I love the German team I hope PRK...

    I'm surprised Croatia didn't play their best player Lea Rakovac. It's the world championships for goodness sake.

    Antispin/Short pips twiddler Peng Yu Han nearly beats Diaz and takes the decider for Taiwan.
  15. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Imagine if they could combine to form a GBR team with Ho Tin Tin. Anyone knows when and why Wales and England play separately and together?
