  1. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    I do not but they rather have no chance to be second seeded like germany. Although they can meet Japan in earlier round but if they not take lim jonghoon I doubt they have chance especially with LSS who doesn't play top level for a long time.
  2. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    One thing is quite certain for me: Germany will be second seeded with high probability. Timo is in very good shape recently and Dima is getting his form back, also Franziska is definitely top 20 player who has beaten chinese players. Probability for all of them 3 to climb little in world ranking...
  3. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Well I do not understand what they are saying but from the pictures it seems that they are thinking about Sato for the 3rd player - quite wired for me since she has to play doubles with Ishikawa - bad idea (I do not think the played before together). For the men team I understand they prefer to...
  4. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Best lineup for olympics: Ito, Nagasaki, Kihara
  5. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    So you prefer CM to loose the match but win first set, right? That would give her ticket for olympics??? Looks like you all know best china coaches and CNT rules and what is under - come on, really? win is a win - and this win was a big one. I am not sure if anybody else in this tournament could...
  6. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    which coaches?? How about wining 9 points from first 10 - it is piece of cake for you? During a match there are many ups and down. Imporant is how you can deal after such demotivationg defeat in first set. CM came out more focused and she managed to take all other games. Final score is 4:1. I...

    any reason? It is not over yet.
  8. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Meng has big problems with reading spin even in pushes, if Ito can keep concentration and do not rush when it is unnecessary she should win.
  9. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Haven't seen so many unforced errors from Ito for some time. She is rushing again, unpatient and look nervous. concentration coming back!!!
  10. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    I understand but it is hard for me to accept it. XX had some chances but he made great progress this year developing his BH to another level ( I am still thinking why playing with harimoto he uses his old strategy playing FH all the places) and he managed to beat all chinese players he was...
  11. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Big titles are important but I do not think that FZD didn't care about wining or loosing to franziska or JYS. World tours are even tougher becasue you have more chinese players, so it is extremely hard to win such tournament. Single defeat for me im big event does not mean that you are going to...
  12. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    If this is not enough to get ticket for singles for XX then I do not know what else he can do
  13. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Just checked the results of ZJK before last olympics he lost to fegerl, lundqvist, ovtcharov and chen chien an, not to mentioned chinese players. That means it should not be a problem for XX loosing to gauzy or ML loosing to other players or ding ding. I think they usualy let gold holders defend...
  14. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Could be, but how you can explain last olympics. They chose LXX and ZJK both not at their best. As I remember they said anyone can go if win a tournament (I think it was Asian championships). LSW lost to Hong Kong player and lost her chances. LXX won the tournament and hot the ticket. Second...
  15. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Yes there are some good points. But there is alway but :) FZD even in great form always struggled in finals with Ma Long (even out of form) and most of them lost. Now he is back on truck but remember few months ago he lost to franziska nad Jung yungsik. That time many players found he has big...
  16. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    As far as I know there is only 1 doubles event at olympics meaning mix. FZD - are you joking? Having worst year in his career? It would be like picking up niwa over harimoto. XX is great player and Has the best year in his career. Still if this is true I would change nationality if I were XX
  17. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    ZZ made big progress lately and I think XX is tired to prove everytime he is better, at the same time playing doubles and xdoubles. It looks like the deliberetly send him to so many events and competitions to make excuse not to send him to olympics. In fact I am very interested how and when they...
  18. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    I am just thinking how looks the selection process in china? ZJK was also not at his best, but they sent him. Is it possible that they still send DN?
