Japan should change its Olympic entries from the men's senior team to the WJTTC team + Harimoto - seriously.

How far the mighty have fallen - starring Fang Bo...

It is not random, it is about the stage in the event at which you lost, which is often determined by how well you played. Lucky draws are possible but it works out over time. Just about every sport where major money flows in uses similar WR systems. Anyone can measure strength if you want to...

Pavel Sirucek is in Quadri Aruna's draw in the prelims. Not good...

I think you just need to go for your backhand. You were swinging too tentatively. I was going to criticize the technique but I saw at least two backhands that showed you know what to do, you just didn't finish the stroke most of the time, you kept stopping when you hit the ball. Sometimes you...

It is just my opinion, but one of the common skills that got lost after the hidden service era was how to take the ball late when you are not sure what is on it. I find that the early return serve approach is taught but never the late return approach to safely get the ball on the table with a...

Jog for 15 minutes and maybe play a practice game where you bet $5 on who wins (handicap if the opponent is weaker). Then practice serves. Usually people practice serves when relaxed and this makes the practice imprecise. Also add stakes. Par Gerell for example doesn't leave practice unless...

I hope they keep this format, it was a great tournament.

I definitely think you could have won. IMO, your backhand and service receive need work. The receive, all I would say is use more sidespin and variation, too much straightforward pushing. Also let a couple of serves double bounce to test if the serve are really short, I think you took a few...

She is the Ftench national champion. Only a discovery if you just don't know about her. Kinda like Juan Liu of the USA.

Okay HK and Korea made it through. Now the TT world is back to normal.

Ian Marshall doesn't disappoint, confusing Lubomir Jancarik with Lubomir Pistej. https://www.ittf.com/2020/01/26/thrown-deep-end-ng-pak-nam-responds-hong-kong-china-rings-changes/

Lee Eunhye has to be one of tensest players I have ever seen at the professional level.

When Don Parker said that WCT had never lost to Wang Yang, then I understood 100% why they reorganized the team. I thought Slovakia would try to hide Valuch but I am not sure how that gets determined. Maybe they were pretty sure that with WCT in doubles, Wang would get a win. But losing the...

This happened to me once when I was at a club in Westchester. I was warming up at a tournament and someone walked into my backswing without alerting me. It is very annoying but also says something about the stiffness of the blade. Mine was a Stratus Powerwood. O don't think this kind of...

Come to think of it, it is probably a matchup problem because I think Lee has a strong backhand and Pesotska strength is her backhand.

So has Pucar. Like I said, it is not an easy match whether you think he should have won or not. It is like FZD losing to XX 11-8 in the 5th and then saying Fan played badly.

Yeah and while Pesotska is tough, the best player in Korea shouldn't be losing to her. Seriously. I don't think Suh is playing badly TBH - she is facing tough teams with the right experience to play her. Ukraine would have been another such team because they have two defenders so it would...

England didn't underperform, Croatia is an incredibly difficult team with low seeding because Gacina doesn't consistently play the tour.

All the last round losers play for the final spot.
