Thanks. I may not agree with it, but it does explain the Covid lockdowns among other things.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like at 1-0,9-2 umpire scores the point for CXT, but CXT invokes TTR to challenge the call which got a chuckle out of Hirano. TTR confirmed that CXT was right. Nice fair play from CXT.

A few points earlier, Nandan is trying to explain to both Faraji and the umpire that he's looking at this coach. Players look at their coach all the time after a point.

TYour he clip does not show the full context. Poor judgement by the umpire. Nandan tried to explain that he is looking at his coach. Here is the full context:

Saw this Facebook post regarding this year's US Open win: Coaching Guo Yan, the back-to-back US Open Champion, during this year’s US Open Table Tennis Championships was truly special. Her run was dominant: 🏓 QF: 4–0 vs Lily Zhang 🏓 SF: 4–0 vs Amy Wang 🏓 Final: 4–1 vs Chen Sun But beyond the...

I looked her up on ITTF/WTT. Since there's multiple Guo Yans, I believe she is listed as Guo Yan (1997). She won 2018 Nigeria Open (both WS and U21). And I could have sworn, I saw her on some video a long time ago beating CXT. And I remember thinking to myself wow...she's really good! I wish...

When it is live, it is free to watch, but the full on demand video is usually uploaded within 24 hours is members only. But here's a highlights video which should be free:

Yes, I believe that is Mima's old coach... Matsuzaki.

Kasumi Ishikawa completed her 47 Prefectures Thanks Tour where she taught and promoted TT to young kids throughout Japan. Gotta respect a player like that.

Rough day for S Korea's top two. Down 0-2 in matches, Kyushu Carina's SYB lost to Top Nagoya's Miyuu Kihara 3-1, and Kim Nayeong lost to Haruna Ojio 3-2. Big matchup coming up today/tomorrow (Dec. 21 12pm Japan local time). Hina's team Nippon Life Red Elf takes on Miwa's team, the league...

I'm surprised Hong Kong's Zhu Chengzhu is not playing WS. She would have a pretty good chance of winning. She played well at the XTWC with wins over Linda Bergstrom and Lea Rakovac (very strong Croatian player).

T League announces first overseas tournament to open next season in Taiwan! @Tony's Table Tennis , what do you know about this... can you comment on this, please?

I woke up too late to watch this live, but the NP Mallets (Odo/Yokoi/Sato) defeated NL Red Elf (Hina/JCH/Kaho). The biggest revelations was that Yokoi avenged her only T-League singles loss by beating JCH 3-0. Sato, who has really improved her offense, won the victory match over Kaho. Hina...

Tianrui Zhang (2594) 3 - 0 Jinbao Ma (2812) in R32.

Just watched an entertaining match between Chulong Nie and Ryan Lin in U19 Boys Singles. Ryan dominated G4 and had a 6-0 lead with aggressive play in G5. He tightened up a bit and it got to deuce. But Ryan Lin pulls off the 14-12 victory. You may remember that Chulong Nie was the LP player...

It's going to be a busy January for the Japanese players. WTT Champions Doha 2026 1/7-1/11 MEN WOMEN Tomokazu Harimoto Miwa Harimoto Sora Matsushima Mima Ito Shunsuke Togami Hina Hayata Yukiya Uda Honoka Hashimoto WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 1/13-1/18 MEN WOMEN Tomokazu...

Really proud of Tomo. The target of anti-Japanese racism in Chengdu, he comes back in full force to take the WTT Finals title. It's a shame the Olympics took away the MT/WT event. The Japanese MT is looking really strong.

Haven't seen anything official, but from https://www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/609279 With the total athlete quotas in table tennis still capped at 172, as same as in Paris, each National Olympic Committee will still have a maximum three paddlers in each gender qualified for LA28, meaning...

Honoka Hashimoto also has a chance, but her road is really difficult because most likely she'll have to find a way to be the 2nd highest ranked player to secure a spot. Despite being highly ranked and able to beat most Chinese players in WTT tournaments, one of Honoka's issues is that all of...

I don't know about that. I think I saw Hirano wearing a knee and back brace during a practice in some Douyin video. She didn't have any impressive results when she teamed up with Miwa for WD last year. The Miwa/Odo combo are ranked #2 winning 4 titles and making the finals of the Europe Smash...
