  1. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    A couple of things: 1) A lot of these stats are presented very misleadingly if you dig underneath the hood, it would be ideal to be able to cut out matches before or after a certain date in order to be realistic. The Mima Ito record includes 7 matches that take place before 2014, which I have...
  2. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    You made a mistake somehow, I was shocked to see Alexis Lebrun and Satsuki Odo as XD partners and looked for it on your list but you have OH and Nagasaki in their place....
  3. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Not sure what that prediction game was and congrats on winning it. For this particular prediction, you were not right. CIC, for the record, was ranked in the top 10 at the end of 2024, but it is okay to claim perfect insight now that she is 19 rather than to look at the detail and see that CIC...
  4. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    So where did he say that it was without continental points that he needed her to stay in the top 16? You keep making up stuff. And remember that Takkyu actually had respect for Quadri's ranking, which was built on substantially the same kind of thing as Diaz's yet the conclusions are...
  5. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    I will take it as progress that you think she is top 20 now because that was too much for you even back then. She had benefited purportedly from the aging of other players- could you list some of these players and see who is head of her now to see whether this is about aging or just...
  6. Saive brothers vs Lebrun brothers

    This will be fun mostly for Belgians.
  7. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Looks like Mexico finally has someone to replace Marcos Madrid. Will be interesting to see whether Rogelio Castro competes aggressively in North American ans Pan American competitions as well as the level he has displayed here would put him pretty high anf he is still young.
  8. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Right how? And does this get to my main point? Again, between Szocs, Takahashi and Diaz, who is the best player and why? When the "overrated" and "only good for doubles" Shin Yubin faced Miu Hirano at the Olympics what happened? Did she defend her seeding? In any case we can get back to the...
  9. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    The truth is that ranking or no ranking, Diaz is a far better player and talent than she often gets credit for and has beaten more than enough players that people would have said she was incapable of beating. Look for example at Szocs, Takahashi and Diaz. Who is the best and who is the worst...
  10. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    So in 2025 and 2026. who has she lost to? And why didn't he simply say that CIC wasn't top 10? Even with her drop in performance?
  11. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Adriana is working with Dang Qiu"s father so people are more likely to give her her flowers for some wins over Zhu etc. To many, she will always be an overrated North American. Unfortunate but true.
  12. ETTU Champions League Men 2025/26

    Can't dignifiy this with a serious response and waste my time. Anyone can watch the matches and the circumstances under which the matches happened and come to their own conclusions. Moregardh actually is undefeated in Champions league and Champions league at this stage is not really a league...
  13. ETTU Champions League Men 2025/26

    Patrick played the first leg I believe. It is a superteam, the coach has options.
  14. 2025 WTT events quiz

    You need to put a timer on it so that people have pressure not to use ChatGPT or Google lol.
  15. Petr Korbel jp with T19 vs D09c

    Some of these are ultimately individual. I know someone who took T19 over T05 on forehand because he prefers to smash with T19 and blocks better with it on forehand (he is a heavy spin player in general). Not what you would think would happen, but dwell helps some people play flat strokes better.
  16. ETTU Champions League Men 2025/26

    Honestly, there was no reason for Gauzy to win that match, even I was modestly pissed he won it and delayed the night. But even if Truls was pissed, he needs to think beyond himself and what his actions do for the sport. IT was even more annoying when Katsman won the 3rd game - that should...
  17. Something like between Rakza Z and Rakza Z extra hard

    Glayzer 09c, though it will need boosting, is probably the closest thing. Tibhar K3 if you don't mind ESN short life as well is reasonable.
  18. Dignics 05........ not lasting as long as people say.

    You live in Japan. You will have more credibility when you join us in the land of foreign Butterfly markets...
  19. Petr Korbel jp with T19 vs D09c

    Yes, from Butterfly. I have Innerforce T5000, one 83g, another 100g. When they made Mazunov or when I bought Korbels, they were all over the place as well.
  20. ETTU Champions League Men 2025/26

    It's really about professionalism. While the trained eye can tell that Gauzy and Fan were playing an exhibition match, it wasn't obvious. Truls though likes to over do it and make it obvious. He had a similar issue when Omar Assar eliminated him at the World Cup in 2024 and started playing...
