Lol, you can't really believe Felix is a better rallier than WCQ. Much of WCQ's strength is in his ability to take the first attack and pummel his opponents in the rally.

LGL being the chair isn't really a good look even on a surface level, and far more on an in-depth investigation. This is simply giving detractors fuel.

This is it exactly. I think among the CNT, FZD is his favourite scapegoat in recent years too.

From a glass half full perspective, Chinese companies doing the bulk of the sponsorship even when events are hosted in other countries to the glory of these countries is laying a stepping stone for them to pitch in and eventually manage their home events themself. Chinese money won't last...

Isn't WTT merely a subdivision of ITTF; ITTF is still in the nexus of control and they've only ceded the "commercialisation" rights. Whenever I see articles of WTT carrying it's sales pitch to others; it's always Dainton and co, the usual faces that spearheaded ITTF's efforts before 2020. ITTF...

The coping, seething and strawmanning is at stratospheric levels. It'll all come to light.

I mean looking at things from the outside, one would've thought that the Jtta was handling things. Not knowing it's the CTTA making sure this sport doesn't collapse. Hayata and Hina are not enough to inspire Japan to host events?? The announcement was done shortly after the Worlds with all the...

She should have tried harder in the Worlds. No chance.

Lol, is it until they mention that, that you'll accept that their intentions are the same as the Chinese?? Of course if they defeat the Chinese, they'll be the last team standing, like duh? Arguing over semantics is silly.

Zhang Rui has really balled out this year, and barring some loses to FSQ in finals should be higher up in the rankings, And she's relatively young!!, one can only wonder what could have been/ could be if she left the Chinese team. Especially for the Worlds and Olympics. She's always smiley and...

But the Japanese team speak of their intentions to defeat China all the time which is totally fine, They practice for it and plan strategies around it. Why do we see their orientation as benign?? Other teams do the same without the lip service too.

FZD's game has really unravelled this past year, players come into matchups with clear tactics looking for blood. His short game malaise and awkward defense looking really vulnerable as the days go by, WCQ too is not that experienced on the big stage, and has his issues and controversies. China...

People talk about muh fair selection criteria!!!!!!!. These are Japanese folks lambasting the Director of the team over not being fair. Apparently the four year rigmarole matters little to them. If the choice of who gets to play on the matchday is up to the director, and someone like Hirano...

It can happen to anyone, even FZD has lost a lotta matches being too comfortable playing with his BH.

Is the mixed team event that Ittf wants to bid for for the next Olympics gonna be in this format? What do y'all think?

People can rail against the CNT's methods and ideology all they want, but in the end every player's destinies is up to them. The player that rises to the top gets catered to, those that cant; get fewer chances and cater to others. It's a microcosm of the world at large. Sun Yang's career...

Last three points were sudden deep/heavy pushes and he missed, I think that push that floated was deliberate.

Her service motion is a la Ding Ning.

Ma Long was served by team members to be champion, And he had to serve also in 2021. What's the big deal? Do you see the team's concern about developing new talents that Ma Long had to sit out a couple of tournaments as ridiculous? I'm sure Ma Lin and Wang Hao sat during their time too.

They're bruck.... And many of them don't care as much about TT.
