  1. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Referencing FZD and ML is really interesting because virtually nobody that wants to make history wants to be FZD. And even Hari has mentioned in interviews that although ML became champion because he played well, he wants to blaze a trail like ZJK. A FZD and ML situation here will be WCQ winning...
  2. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    9-2 h2h Vs Harimoto is not a fluke, this result today was not a fluke. I think going forward at least in the short term; the results of their matchups would be based on WCQ's condition. If he's all gun blazing, super confident and has clarity of what he has to do. They'll just be overwhelmed in...

    I agree with you on the 4 points But winning in "open rallies" is hardly a consolation point. We've not even factored in CM's unfamiliarity with Miwa's serves. Big Dream too lost a boatload of points on receive errors. The match came down to who was trickier in the serve and receive.The open...
  4. What if Louis Vuitton sponsors the French TT team

    What's more important is for French TT companies to muscle their way back into the big leagues of the OEMs in TT.

    Felix Vs Wang is not a surety. I think you're not factoring that into the equation China can tweak their layout and ensure Fan faces Felix first, and Wang Alexis. Ma Long facing Gauzy is a no-brainer. China can win the aforementioned matchups 3-0 if everything works out in their favour. So...

    It has a strong relation, but FTW is an outlier.
  7. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    The coaching team are just falling over themselves in trying to erect this new "fair" and "transparent" scheme. Maybe they'll rediscover their sense of covering for all variables and just strong arm the selection for the Olympics. Because their recent experiments (the internal ranking points...
  8. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    The match tomorrow in my opinion depends on Alexis actually or whoever is slated to play the possible 5th match for France (which has usually been Alexis). Lim Jonghoon played decently but ultimately couldn't win either of his matches. Miwa played decently in the 2nd but lost both of her...

    Miwa could have beaten the WYD that clumsily lost 0-3 to Kihara recently. Miu was ready to join the echelon of players that defeated 2 CNT stalwarts in a team match. Alas, the young shall be pressured.

    Because there's a sorta internal rule in the CNT that the top three in the world ranking takes precedence in the knockout rounds.

    It feels good to see you cry lol Why not make an A.I picture of the 🐉 being pounded to make you feel better ?🤣🤣🤣
  12. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Never been on the Harimoto train especially considering her age, I think as someone said on this forum earlier; they were betting on the 2nd and 3rd game working out in their way. Perhaps betting on matches 1,2,3 would have a better strategy. Again, like I've said earlier on this platform; On...

    She definitely isn't The coaching team are just "following the book" into disaster.
  14. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    France may be doing themselves a disservice by pushing Alexis and Felix. Felix and Gauzy should probably be their two singles choices for the Olympics. We'll see how tomorrow goes, but apart from that spark against a FZD that was unfamiliar with his serves, Alexis hasn't done anything special...

    Following the book will the bane of the Chinese team. WYD had no business playing this match. WMY as one of the two singles ( even if she isn't gonna play singles in Paris) would have made things a lot easier.

    Hari will definitely get wins, I just think they'll be few and far between. His task is perhaps to pull off a Ryu Seungmin and walk off into the night with his head held up high. I just think the probability is very low, especially if his ranking doesn't improve drastically in the next three...
  17. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    That's funny. The Wang that I saw yesterday didn't even look like the typical Wang in rallies. I suspect because he wasn't holding the table as much. But we'll see.
  18. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    What's the head to head again? 9-2? I think Hari needs a Shinto prayer to evade WCQ's bracket in the Olympics. Because if his ranking doesn't improve much this year, he just might be knocked out by the quarters. Of course, he'll be very happy to face Fan, his reactions are faster, and Fan's...

    I a I actually want them to bench Fan tbh. WCQ should face Tomo obviously Ma Long should be able to subdue any of the kids LJK should too The key will be preventing TH from winning any match.
