  2. What are your TT goals for 2024?

    Try to become consistent with receive and 3rd ball, then 4th and 5th ball… If yes , I should win many more matches. The main goal is to perform well at World Veteran in Rome and by that i just mean getting to the main draw and playing some matches that I would be proud of. [tbh it looks like a...
  3. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    yep i attended the event, and in session 1 i was seated near a young HK girl (with her mom ?). She told me she was a huge fan of TT although she didn't play at all. she was sitting in a VIP seat in session 2. The Chinese crowd was much louder than the locals.
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    played the last tournament of the year today, in a homogenous league of 8 players, with 4 round robin. despite some improvements in practice, in match i have not done well this year, losing ranking points, and many matches that i should have won were lost. this time im seeded 3rd out of 8. R1...

  6. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    Han Ying match had breathtaking rallies it’s incredible how much she retrieved and her attacks and spinny counters were deadly Wang Manyu put a very impressive performance against a very good Yang Xiaoxin. Her technique is so beautiful to watch and she seems much more fit IRL than on TV In the...
  7. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    Some photos of the venue. More to come later. The most exciting match to watch this morning was Han Ying against Joo. There was only real suspense in game 1 but it is wonderful to see Wang Manyu play. Her technique is just so perfect.

  9. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    I've doubted Adriana Diaz for a long time here, but i must admit she has something special and has been improving a lot this year. PLUS she's a bad ass and exciting to watch
  10. How to handle short and half-long serves to FH?

    I'm very bad with these balls. my main problem is that when i step to the ball, its a bit slow AND im not staying low. then i play the ball with upper body too high / too far from the ball, and rushing it so now you know what NOT to do, here is how I try to get better: - when moving to the...
  11. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    look better, 7 CNT players. you could be forgiven to add HAN Ying, YANG Xiaoxin, and JOO Cheonhui to them as ex-CNT players. and based on the gene pool, add Miwa HARIMOTO
  12. How to get better at reading serves and returning them?

    I'd like to know too... lol... i think there's really 2 different things: - be able to read the serve (not only spin but length) - know how to receive when you have read the serve well (or read it "ok") for the second item, ask your partner to serve always the same serve and you try different...
  13. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    after this tournament, the odds for Miwa being the 3rd player for OG2024 have increased from 80% to 99% Miwa's brother has been awesome. totally dominant in G1-2 where FZD was sleepy. You tell me he hasn't beaten the Chinese in world championships ? what did he do at World team ? beat FZD and...

  15. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    its really an experiment and i think not many are happy about it....neither the players nor the viewers
  16. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    yeh very abnormal rules
  17. I Played Vs European Champion Dang Qiu

    right leg in front can help generate more power but it looks to me in practice its possible only when a bit far from the table or when the ball is coming a bit shorter or towards the middle, else the transition to FH looks difficult. anyway thats how i see Dan applying the advice (Btw my coach...
  18. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    Miwa did it 4-2 against Nagasaki in SF And 4-2 against Hayata in the final I was only a few months too early in calling Miwa the N1 in Japan. I predict she will confirm in January at the national champs. From there she will conquer the world !
  19. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    it looks more and more likely its gonna be Hirano. And then i bet for Miwa for being the 3rd teammate, even though Kihara and Ito might be preferred.
