Hayata didn't have enough success in the third ball attacks. Manyu's dynamic chiquitas, and controlling the rallies with her backhand was enough to give Hayata few chances. I'm surprised Hayata didn't try more long serves to both wings to force the issue, but they are quite risky.

Nah, Hayata can still do it, Today is the just the first of many more meetings.

Let's see the semis first, I'm sure Felix will bring something different. He must consistently surprise Ma Long in the first 3 balls, and must use the parallel balls to the forehand that Harimoto has used to great effect against Ma Long. Whether that'll be enough to win 3 sets is unknown, but it...

FZD can never fill Ma Long shoes, He can only dream of it. China's really lucky Chuqin came into his own before Ma Long retired. Not that Chuqin can't lose or something, but likelihood of at least one of them reaching the final is high when both of them are playing in the same tournament.

Yidi ain't got anything to prove, the two losses against Hayata means the next time her results will be taken seriously is in 2025.

Tomorrow's gonna be a firecracker. If Lin doesn't beat Harimoto tomorrow, that's a big issue. Taking FZD to 7 game slugs ain't enough, If Harimoto stops losing to upstarts at the majors, Lin would be meeting him more, before he meets the Chinese anyway.

WCQ is another example of "improving naturally", over familiarity with FZD is his nemesis at this point. If he was another association, he'll be beating FZD more. He'll face LJH, TH/LYJ and possibly Felix in the final. If he scales through these three, it'll banish all the blues of the Asian cup...

His backhand and middle has been a problem. Ma's backhand is not the flashiest, but it's stable. Fan's is flashy, more dynamic but less stable.

I think you have to use a vpn

I'm talking about your theory of them facing players that can stretch them to the max from as early as the first round. Using the draw to one's benefit is normal procedure.

Where did you watch it? He's been struggling with the backhand rallies more and more in recent years. This tournament will be very interesting to watch.

Apart from Ma Long, none of the Chinese guys have an easy clash from the first round!!! These matches can easily go to the wire in a best of 5, and in Europe, nerves are gonna be harder to control, it's happened to FZD before. I'm curious to see if Tony TT's theory can be validated here. LYJ and...

No Hina Hayata this time? That she's won 3 WTT titles this year, but she's not your first pick of the non CNT players is not a good look. LYJ has to beat Harimoto, whether he'll put it together is the problem.

China honestly needs to grow up tbh. I understand that Japan saying they can only find two female players sound suspect/fake; are they really saying the Juniors prefer playing the WYC to a Team World Cup?? There's no need for the instant revenge, let the players play in Japan, I thought they...

New rules don't mean much when their players win the big events.

Lin Yunju should reach the semifinals. If he can't do that, there's a big problem. Same for Tomokazu Harimoto.

Meant to type Slovenia; and it was a Star Contender. Sweden has hosted only Feeders and Youth Contenders this year. Croatia on the other hand has its own series ( including a Contender).

The JTTA has nuff information about that. Luckily, that should be easily accessible for you ☺️

Is participation at these events strictly by invitation? Where's the proof they're restricting Hayata from participation?, That's a huge claim to make Besides, just "creating their own tournament" is plain disinformation, if you check out the WTT handbook from 2020; there was supposed to be a...

What's the h2h of Miwa Vs Miu?? I'm sure it's not bad for Ito either. Maybe Takkyu or zeio can find something Miwa has played all the Olympic Qualifications tournament ( It's been at like 5-6 tourneys, and she has only been to the final once), that doesn't sound like someone only having a...
