A great win for Miu. Miyu was up 9-7 in the decider and lost 4 straight.

Interesting that you're using the final standings of the All Japan as a proxy for JTTA's internal ranking being in alignment with your projections. And even at that, you are using the 4th (Kihara) and 6th (Nagasaki) positions in singles ignoring the 2nd (Hayata) and 3rd (Yokoi) positions. And...

Miyu Nagasaki showed a lot of progress easily beating WYD at the Asian Cup making a strong case for LA2028 doing well at both the Asian Cup and in doubles at the All Japan. She is probably the favorite to come out of the bottom half, but the winner of KNY vs. Yokoi is a very strong contender...

Still a ways away, but not a good start for Kihara, zeio

I think zeio mentioned this before, but Sabine has a Japan problem. The Japanese women know how to play against material (ex: Yuna Ojio beat her last year 3-0 at Feeder Dusseldorf). It's an amazing achievement for Sabine to achieve top 15. In addition to her ranking, her Euro Cup win...

One of the concessions that the CTTA got out of this was the Olympic gold card. That's why you'll see at this upcoming Singapore Smash, which has an national entry restriction of 6 per association, China has 8 men and 9 women. China gets 2 extra due to their Olympic Gold Cards which are not...

We had an entire thread dedicated to this topic: Fan zhendong, Ma Long and Cheng Meng announces Retirement from WTT/ITTF

No doubt about the women's final. Sabine Winter beats Bernie Szocs at 4,4,4. Congratulations Sabine!

Although Miwa won't be gaining any points at the Asian Cup, I believe she will move to WR#5 as Kuai Man and WYD have large expiring points from last year's Singapore Smash. I think I read her stated goal for this year is to make top 5, but if she continues her stellar play, I think she can end...

Happy Birthday Kuai Man! Born 7 February 2004 (age 22)

Nothing against Jia Nan Yuan, but I'll be rooting for Charlotte Lutz to make the finals or maybe even win it all. There has be one promising youth to take up the mantle for Europe. Right?!

Miwa is the only Japanese woman who is a lock for LA2028 as far as I'm concerned. And I'm glad to see she's starting to manage her schedule better. She skipped SC Doha which was right before the All Japan(unlike ahem, Tomo), and I think(?) she was once on the player's list for SC Chennai but is...

Kihara is also literally playing T-League right now.

My guess would be availability. I know Odo and Yokoi are playing T-League literally right now.

Miyu wins a tight match over Kaho. Kaho has got talent but is lacking experience. She held her own in most of the Miyu power rallies.

Solid win for SYB over Honoka. Tough task for Honoka having to deal with her compatriots, top Chinese, and now S. Korea as she's lost to both Joo Cheonhui and now SYB. She needs a beast mode forehand attack.

Win or lose, Kim Nayeong is looking like she's S. Korea's best women's player.

Han Ying vs. Annett Kaufmann livestream. Han Ying is up 2-1 as I type this: https://www.ettu.tv/live/xyz/1/1086

Congratulations to Rin Mende on her first WTT Senior Title. Yui Yakuma had an amazing run beating multiple strong players including compatriot chopper Yuka Kaneyoshi, but Rin Mende was too strong.

WS Finals between Rin Mende and Yui Sakuma should be starting in a few minutes. 14 yr old Yui Sakuma beat 19 yr old Yuka Kaneyoshi in an all chopper SF. Yuka was actually leading 2-1,7-7 before the expedite rule was triggered. Yui is naturally more attack oriented than Yuka who is very picky...
