  1. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Most of us who have studied the rankings agree that she has almost zero chance of playing singles at the Olympics. So maybe I assumed you already knew that this was common knowledge for those of us who care on this website. We are mostly focused on her chance of playing in the Olympics as a...
  2. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    I suspect you are the Tom from mytt as well? No one talks about style it is about the results. But the style is reflected in the results. It isn't about just knowing what happened in the past it is about knowing what the trend shows and the criteria that dictate what must be done. As the...
  3. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    If you put it that way, sure. But obviously, no serious person is putting it that way. The issue is whether she is a better choice than whoever is ranked #3 after the qualification cycle. And the closer she gets to making the case that she is, that is valuable. Consider that she is now...
  4. Xu Xin becomes No.1

    That's why he's playing two events this month, he wants to take the #1 spot.
  5. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    She is 19. There is time.
  6. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Yeah. Sounds like Ma Lin or whoever is coaching LSW is trying to intimidate Hayata with his cheering too.
  7. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    I really wanted to see XX/LSW vs LYJ/CIC but I guess you have to accept the results you get not the ones you want.
  8. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Looks like Mizutani is trying to get serious.
  9. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Depends on how you define it. But I am thinking most of the A team which should be the top 6 to top 12, depending on how strict you want to be.
  10. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Her push is very heavy, sometimes Chen Ke just attacked an easy looking ball into the net.
  11. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Yes, easily and seriously. Watch the matches this morning, you don't make CNT players look like that without being on the CNT. The shot quality is easily as high as the very best. Consistency and placement maybe not always. I will quote one expert who is 16 and a Male top 5 player : "Her...
  12. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Hayata could.easily be on the Chinese national team. I have no doubt in my mind. Watching her this morning (in my time zone), I felt the opponents want to go change her uniform so they could relax and play their best shots without the pressure of playing a foreigner.
  13. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    There will be blood...
  14. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Actually, JNT is struggling to find a doubles pairing that works. Because doubles is the first match and the strongest players meet in the next match, you can lose a match pretty quickly if your doubles pairing is not competitive unlike before when you had two singles matches to figure it out...
  15. Forehand rubber upgrade advice

    I actually prefer Fastarc G1 (or C1) to Vega Pro as a T05 alternative.
  16. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    She does seem to lose focus for extended periods. Her career will be entertaining that's for sure.
  17. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    People take a lot of stuff from one match or tournament, I have learned the hard way that you have to wait for trends. I was one of those who jumped the gun on Yu Ziyang after he beat Mizutani years ago and was a WJTTC. Sun Wen has a wide range/level as do most of the non-first team CNT players.
  18. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Looks like Ma Lin is coaching Shi.
  19. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    Awesome. What did happen to Kim Minseok? He was supposed to be the next big thing at one time but he just didn't materialize and disappeared in the middle of this decade... https://tv.ittf.com/video/kim-minseok-ma-te/1613530
