  1. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    I don't know whether he is behind Poret, but Coton is actually doing some really good stuff. Obviously Gauzy is still in the mix, they will likely play China or Korea in the semis, who they field then will say a lot.

    Sometimes, it is amazing how he can get away with his stuff but he can do it when he handles serve and receive so well. His ball also has a different flight path from Matsushima.

    Gauzy might no longer be the #3 option for France, something I predicted last year...
  4. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Harimoto of Kazakhstan doing things the real Harimoto cannot do lol... Kiril has sublime rallying skills.
  5. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    The most glorious single day of international TT in 2026.
  6. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Probably contacts. Possibly but unlikely surgery.
  7. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Potential, sure, but again, the next opponent is a significant level up. Beatable, but a level up.
  8. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Given the drop off between 2 and 3 for Egypt, which is significant though not amazingly so, I wonder whether the coaches gave any though to playing Meshref at 3.

    Ukraine has Pesotska the terminator which poses a different challenge. A major rise in level of opponent.

    Looking at Sally's development curve given her comprehensive athletic talent brings up my old question - is it better to be competitive with adult players at a younger age while having gaps in your game or to be built out more comprehensively and fundamentally and challenge adult players later...

    Darko, not really because Kozul delivers in European matches - true that their #3 is too large a drop off. Goda has Meshref, so I don't see that one. So I could see it for Darko maybe in some contexts. Reasonable suggestions for these teams at a high level for sure.

    In my experience, while women are not glass fragile, I find that sometimes, these things are discussed as if sex differences and the potential for different feelings by sex towards the same act are not reasonable. And the individuality of experience that you brought up is also extremely...

    Same pattern - trying to reduce Lily's exposure to pips. Where do you see the pairings?

    How is Levenko beating Sathiyan? That score is not correct!!!!
  15. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    A few possibilities, hidden injury was likely the most critical one. Rakovac is also not a spring chicken with her future in front of her (30 already). Moreover, Arapovic has been more reliable than Rakovac in this London event for whatever reason. They probably also conceded the realistic...

    I know China wants to join the list, but let's see how this event turns out...
  17. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Hashimoto did well in many of the backhand to backhand duels. Would definitely look at ways to exploit the pips vs anti matchup. Miwa is a complete player so she finds topspin speed and quirky placement more threatening that pips changeups. She is good enough to like and dislike anything she...

    Li Jie is still playing and maybe she even got more wins lol. But Eerland's day is coming for sure.
