Japan the only country with all 16 wins in round 1, Shinozuka vs Xue Fei made the difference

The Dima/Franz doubles loss felt very weird and now there's an explanation. Unfortantely Ovtcharov has to drop from the WTTC: source (german)

On WTT's site under matches > scheduled you can type the table you want to filter for

German men are making me sweat. Wait that sounds wrong :LOL:

China had internal trials for their last 2 spots which LGY and Xue Fei won

Yes it's the same, most ittf/wtt events are 25% seeded

3rd round if they both win twice, those were only seeded positions so far

Just in time to get a seed at WTTC

Samsonov won 3 World Cups

It's the same rule. You only have 2 matches and then can end 2-2, so like last year it's based on sets not matches.

Athlete quotas that sports receive in the Olympics are the most limited resource, ITTF has no control over player count.

No, but there are at least 24 spots based on world ranking, so not a concern for Hugo and Adriana

Gauzy revealed that he was barely above even money from WTT last year when subtracting expenses and that he would've been in the minus without qualifying for Champions events. The majority of even top 100 players are net payers to play on the tour. You need it for world rank and publicitiy to...

Nah Chen Meng already posted quite a while before WTT Finals that Walder Cup will be her next event. The lineup looks weird like that because a bunch of players declined/cancelled. I mean Team Asia even was supposed to be Team China initially.

You can calculate it yourself, ranking point system is transparent and pretty simple

WCQ has 5500 points from his top 3 events. He also has 2 ZPP and the worst event counting for him atm is WC semifinal, not any R32.

Some fair points, i'm not saying the league ranking should only be based on the CL winners either, but it's an indication of the level at the top. From the best league i'd expect to get multiple teams into the competition and regularly show up strong there with deep runs. The last time any...
