Is it really smart to seed only 8 players in a champions event?

Has Poret been surpassed by Coton? Has Togami been surpassed by the universe? We will find out.

Yes. Or engaged. I think he discussed it in the post match. Has been playing really off of late. Hoping he is back to stability now.

That is what losing to a better player is generally like when the player is not in top form and it is common to focus on the score as an opportunity rather than the reliability of the patterns by which a player is winning points. Most of Xue Fei's best legit chances came when he opened with...

Some of us never grow up...

Something like this happens even at the world class level. Players who are part time as juniors and have stellar junior results wonder why they dont show massive gains when they become full time players as adults. There should be a table tennis essay on "What is not seen" so some of the naive...

The mental and visual part of TT is highly underestimated because it isnt as easy to see or understand. But I suspect it is probably more important than many of the obvious things. In the end, we usually just let the results speak but I wouldn't be surprised if we measured things like vision...

Amazing match. Well played Wang and Winter.

Karate Kid: coach tells Cobra Kai to sweep the leg lol...

Winter bringing the Akula template against Wang. Wang will have to figure out how to disrupt Winter or will pack her bags.

He is not on Kallberg's level. To me it has been clear Kallberg has been distracted by things other than TT in recent months

Where is Franziska these days?

More slimy behavior again. Let's remember, Uda played this tournament and couldn't get a game off Calderano. This is what zeio wants us all to believe: 1) Duda today is playing at the same level today as he was in March when he lost to Uda (the same Duda by the way who at that time had never...

Hindsight is always 20-20 and the expedite would argue you were right. It's getting to a point where Miwa will get so good it won't matter or Honoka will need to improve her offensive game which is already good but she just needs to get better so that expedite is not a problem.

So close yet so far...

Played an unrated tournament on Saturday. First round was a round robin of 4, I won the group and went into a single elimination. Only competitive match was against a kid that lost to last month (or I think really in June) partly because it was his hoke club and partly because in addition to...

Hashimoto makes the semifinals. However she is going to have to beat two teammates to take the trophy unless Xheng performs a miraculous comeback. I suspect Miwa is already a bit too much so it is good to at least defend your seeding and draw placement.

The slimy behavior continues. So since Uda is #40, how is he ahead of Togami? If this was the discussion, there was never any serious discussion to be had if we were just using the ranking list. Obviously Lebrun was hurt by going through a period of injury (admittedly self inflicted). But if...

I can tell you that Kanak has an influence on the Indian market simply because a lot of Indians are also Americans and vice versa. The ICC(guess what the I stands for) was/is one of the biggest training centers in the USA and while Kanak didn't train there, it was how Massimo got into the US...

With Aruna, it also came down to what his lawyer/agent was negotiating at that time for Nigeria. Quadri had already become a big brand regardless of ball, but Gewo needed him more and were willing to do more things for more people. I think the deal worked out for everyone. IMHO, the argument...
