The topic was world ranking. The topic was explaining Hirano's seeding. Does anything you are posting address the topic? What is Hirano's responsibility for having a better world ranking? The topic was not Hirano's head to head against first team CNT players in the current cycle. Thr funny...

I am pointing out the inconsistency in your logic not the supposed ones in mine. If the losses are a small sample size, so are the wins. And she has had the same opportunities as her teammates and chose to focus on internal events, just like Ito did, and to be honest, she was just as...

So are the wins, using the same logic.

It makes perfect sense, using hidden statistics with limited predictive power to make arguments will work only so long. No one other than yourself and maybe Tieba users thought trailing in win rate was more important than actually being dominant both in Japan and on tour. And ultimately, China...

But she had all the same opportunities as her teammates. It is simply finding special excuses when there is no reason she could not have done what Hayata did.

QTY also lost multiple matches that led to her being explicitly denied chances. So no one would argue that she is better than anyone ahead of her getting opportunities (but maybe you and Tieba users might). Miu Hirano would have have a hard time arguing that the reason she is being denied...

Wait, you mean that the fact that she was ranked lower than others had nothing to do with her play? She just magically lacked the opportunities that others like Kihara and even Harimoto magically found? IT is easy to forget her subpar performances in Japanese tournaments prior to the Olympic...

Tanaka down 0-2 to Achanta - amazing.

Dima lost to Pucar in WTTC 2019 as well. He needs a lot of revenge.

So again, whose fault is it that those players are playing so many more events than others? Why is Hayata able to play so many events while the others can't? Divine intervention?

Usually there are a limited number of entrants per country. Qualifying is really about who doesn't get seeded into the main draw based on number of entries, number of players whose ranking qualify automatically for the main draw and the size of the main draw. So if you are not high enough to...

Yoshimura 1-0, 10‐4 to 1-0,12-14 vs Rassenfosse. Amazing.

There are too few seeded players. This is often done to increase randomness and excitement. A reliable draw will have about half the players seeded. A semi reliable draw will have a quarter. I wouldn't be surprised if the maxed the number of seeds at 8 for these events but it could be 16...

Blame everyone else (even if in jest) other than Hirano for her own seeding?

Lee Ho Ching during the WTTTC at Busan took me back to her early-to-mid 2010s form, that is why I picked her to come out. It is easy to forget she used to be a stable top 15 during the ELO era, she still plays that old ancient topspin game but has managed to make it workable again vs the last...

Aruna vs Lim is never interesting, Aruna always loses. He does score the random win against such dominant opponents (Harimoto, Lin Yun Ju) but Lim is a real deal head scratcher.

Yes, your experience is what I feel when I use 5 plies for short practice periods. Again I am not saying they do not have offsetting advantages. I am even going to experiment with a 7ply with Mark V for a hitting style I want to investigate and I have seen someone develop an extremely...

Looks like Tatiana learned to play pips - good for her even if bad for my picks lol.

Ady Sareen coaching Jishan Liang - uphill battle against Marcelo Aguirre to be honest, Bundesliga players are tough...

One of my friends today was complaining that Quadri struggles with some players because he doesn't smash. And we had a debate over whether it makes more sense to topspin every ball even if it means you have to rally more vs having both a smash and a topspin and then using the topspin on low...
