Japan has been very strictly following ranking for their lineups. It’s weird that they don’t even change even a little bit for best chance of winning.

【#张怡宁说女队一贯比较稳#】#张怡宁说男队一路走来不容易#2026伦敦世乒赛团体赛决赛将迎来巅峰对决，男团、女团决赛将分别进行，中国队的对手都是日本队。

“大魔王” @乒乓张怡宁 在接受采访时表示，女队一贯以来都是比较稳的。对于男队，她坦言第一阶段面临很大挑战和挫折，但既然已经冲过半决赛、打到决赛，就一定能发挥出最好的水平，他们一路走来也不容易。#王楚钦打哭F勒布伦#@白鹿视频 [http://t.cn/AXihu0a6] 程超人1120的微博视频
(In an interview, she stated that the women's team has always been relatively stable. Regarding the men's team, she admitted that they faced significant challenges and setbacks in the first stage, but now that they have made it past the semifinals and into the final, they are sure to perform at their best, and their journey has not been easy.)

JP vs CHN on Womens +Mens wow. Hope CHN can get the wins. Im not particularly worried abt the womens or WCQ, just praying that LSD has a good day

 

[Ninja26Go]

Prediction: CHN vs JP: 3-1 both times.

LJK is literally the wall for the China mens team. Dude knows how to win deciders even from being behind.

Had either Coton or Alexis won their games France would have had a good chance to win the last match between Coton and Lin. This match would have been similar to the KOR vs China game in the Semi finals at 2024 Busan Team Champs. I believe at that time JWJ won against WCQ and LSS won against ML.

I think the finals I would say 51-49 chance with China most likely to win. Will Japan use the same lineup as last time at the Asian Team Champs and put Shinozuka at 3 instead of Togami. I think Shinozuka should play ahead of Togami but with Shinozuka not playing a match so far this tournament might prove detrimental to the Japan team.

Shinozuka actually played in that match you are referring to and lost to Lin Shidong. Togami was injured.

Picking China to win isnt crazy 😉

But ill take the compliment lol

No no, don't dilute anything.
You didn't pick them to win 2 wks before the thing started.
Obviously that wouldn't be crazy

After their really poor start you predicted them to win it comfortable.
I am glad you have taken the compliment as it was intended but your prediction at the time did seem a bit crazy to many 😉
They haven't won it yet of course but they did dispatch France 3-1 so I'm going to call that comfortable.
I still can't figure if LJKs win was genius (in recovery and tactics) or fluke with Alexis seemingly falling apart (perhaps it was partially both) but in any case they look a totally different proposition for Japan now!

quick start by miwa

 

[Janard]

Speedy BH + placement to wide FH seem to be working... ghost of Odo?

 

[Matteones]

Here hoping WMY didn't speak with LJK last night

Shinozuka actually played in that match you are referring to and lost to Lin Shidong. Togami was injured.

Yea I know but the game was 3-2. Could Togami have done much better vs LSD I don’t think so.

 

[JackJohnson]

I really hope Miwa can beat WMY this time. There was one time she was really close and was leading 3 games but WMY fought back and won.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Miwa is in beast mode early and often. Love it!!

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Miwa Miwa

 

[JackJohnson]

Is it time for Miwa to have Nakazawa Rui as her full time coach 😂

 

[JackJohnson]

Now CXT got a few words to say to WMY 😂

 

[Matteones]

@zeio maybe knows what Ma Lin and CXT said to WMY during TO?

 

[JackJohnson]

Looks like WMY comeback going to happen vs Miwa again 😢

Togami has beaten LSD twice.
