Maybe things are different in CTTSL as I don't follow it, but they absolutely do care about the results in T-League. They've edited it out for online distribution, but I recall watching the livestream when Miu Hirano lost to Mikuu Izumo, the camera panned to ZYL consoling Hirano who was crying...

Congratulations Satsuki Odo. I didn't get to watch it live, but from the replay, Satsuki did a great job of forcing Hirano side to side. Odo served a lot of balls to the middle, both short and half long, and then worked the wings. It also looks like Hirano had a lot of trouble with the amount...

Congrats to Miu. Sakura really needs to work on her push game.

I picked Yokoi in post #40. Hurricane Hirano is playing well so it'll be an interesting match.

I'm picking Sakura Yokoi and Park Ganghyeon.

Congratulations to Yokoi/Aoki for taking the WD title. Sakura Yokoi is still in the SF of WS going up against compatriot, Miu Hirano, tomorrow.

It will be held in Habakino, Japan https://jtta.or.jp/tour/35020

Kihara and Nagasaki have a better excuse ... They have the trials for WTTTC on Feb 16-17. Singapore Smash Main Draw doesn't start until Feb 22.

:rolleyes:

Very impressive 3-0 victory for Sakura over KNY. Not only her patented BH, but her forehand has gotten so much better this past year.

A great win for Miu. Miyu was up 9-7 in the decider and lost 4 straight.

Interesting that you're using the final standings of the All Japan as a proxy for JTTA's internal ranking being in alignment with your projections. And even at that, you are using the 4th (Kihara) and 6th (Nagasaki) positions in singles ignoring the 2nd (Hayata) and 3rd (Yokoi) positions. And...

Miyu Nagasaki showed a lot of progress easily beating WYD at the Asian Cup making a strong case for LA2028 doing well at both the Asian Cup and in doubles at the All Japan. She is probably the favorite to come out of the bottom half, but the winner of KNY vs. Yokoi is a very strong contender...

Still a ways away, but not a good start for Kihara, zeio

I think zeio mentioned this before, but Sabine has a Japan problem. The Japanese women know how to play against material (ex: Yuna Ojio beat her last year 3-0 at Feeder Dusseldorf). It's an amazing achievement for Sabine to achieve top 15. In addition to her ranking, her Euro Cup win...

One of the concessions that the CTTA got out of this was the Olympic gold card. That's why you'll see at this upcoming Singapore Smash, which has an national entry restriction of 6 per association, China has 8 men and 9 women. China gets 2 extra due to their Olympic Gold Cards which are not...

We had an entire thread dedicated to this topic: Fan zhendong, Ma Long and Cheng Meng announces Retirement from WTT/ITTF

No doubt about the women's final. Sabine Winter beats Bernie Szocs at 4,4,4. Congratulations Sabine!

Although Miwa won't be gaining any points at the Asian Cup, I believe she will move to WR#5 as Kuai Man and WYD have large expiring points from last year's Singapore Smash. I think I read her stated goal for this year is to make top 5, but if she continues her stellar play, I think she can end...
