Despite that, CIC was the only player in the entire main draw to defeat a CNT player. And she came close to beating a second one in Fan Siqi. MVP of the tournament. Teammate Cheng Hsien-Tzu beat Xu Yi in qualification. A tournament Taiwan can be proud of.

Singles and team are different events. And no one is saying Hirano didn't deserve her Olympic spot, she clearly outperformed Ito under the high pressure circumstance. All I'm saying is that Hayata and Ito deserve some credit when they perform well too, and that maybe we should expect a little...

Not being able to get deep enough of the draw to beat JNT players challenge the chinese is meaningless even given a 100% win rate if you have the best chance against them

So close but not good enough. CIC dominanted the backhand exchanges but FSQ started pivoting the first half of the 7th game and CIC seemed to be in a bit of pain/started playing a lot softer after 2-7. All chinese seminfinals again unless Ito can show her 5-9 vs Kim Nayeong form for seven full...

Hirano hasn't had a breakthrough singles performance in awhile, often stopping at R16 or quarterfinals at best in both international and domestic competitions. At some point you just have to accept that this is her level. Yes she has the potential to create occasional upsets, but that's what...

To be fair, Ito played pretty badly for the entire match. I don't think KNY took her foot off the peddle at the end. Ito just went for her shots. 100% rate from 5-9 to 11-9. Got a glimpse of 2019 Ito from those points.

3 smash quarters in a row for Ito. Not too shabby.

Even Kim Kyungah was moving around like a lame duck at that age so for Suh to still play so athletically is nothing short of impressive.

Here's what I could find according to the 2025 KNT and WTTC selection criteria. 2025 National Team selection criteria 10 men and 10 women 1) 3 players to receive automatic selection based on ranking points earned across domestic and overseas competitions in 2024 2) An additional 6 to 7 players...

Suh Hyowon makes the last 16 AGAIN. Absolutely robbed of an Olympic team spot in 2021 and 2024 (and maybe even singles considering JJH's recent early round exits). Big chance for her to enter quarters considering her next opponents are Mo Zhang/Takahashi. CXT is the most likely opponent at the...

Practise blocking

Seems like Ito values Olympics over WTTC. When asked about who the GOAT is, she said she felt Zhang Yining was the best when she was young. Now, she thinks that Chen Meng is the best because even though SYS and WMY have won a lot of Championships, CM is able to win 'when it counts'...

Source please. I only found the statement posted on a Facebook account called 臺灣傻事 (Silly things in Taiwan) that used a very poor quality image of Harimoto crying at the Olympics after her loss against Kaufmann. The page itself seems to be a very pro-China/CCP/reunification troll account that...

Hirano vs Kim Na Yeong 2-0 up, 7-3 in the third game. Kim chases to 7-6 to force a timeout. Hirano gets matchpoint at 10-9 but loses the game 11-13. Hirano's forehand is all over the place for the first half of the game. Catches up but it's a little too late. 2-2 now 2-3 Kim Na Yeong. Has KNT...

They need to 1. Ask better questions. Most players clearly don't want to disclose their tactics (for good reason) and end up giving the same canned responses. Get someone who knows how to frame questions in a way that will draw out more interesting replies. 2. Get rid of the live interpreter...

Enforcing one right one left makes the most sense to me for order and fairness

Suh is just a tricky opponent. Not the most consistent but she's made in roads at majors (WTTC2021 QF, WTTC2023 and SS2024 R16) despite being sidelined by KNT. I'm surprised she's still playing after commentating for the Olympics but good for her. Shan Xiaona also breaks her losing streak by...

Suh 3-1 Diaz

Ito lost 5 matchpoints against Batra and was only saved at the end by a netcord. Not a good sign.
