Congratulations to Kasumi Kimura on winning the WS title. I think she has the best footwork of any Japanese woman including the national team members.

Miyu Nagasaki doing double duty today: doubles and singles.

Jet-lagged Tomo has zero energy left. Not even a token cho. He peaked in Yokohama. Looks like both Harimotos need some rest.

If it's a decider (game 5), then it is must win by 2. For non-decider, then it's first to 11.

That's just mindboggling to me. I hope he can keep in context that these are toxic "fans". He's one of them most improved players on the WTT tour in the past year or so. Truls has just been a monster this tournament. No shame in today's loss.

Not a bad clash between the top 2 WD pairs. Miwa has been playing WTT tournaments non stop. I'm glad there's a bit of break between now and Champions Macao. She could really use it to relax both physically and mentally. She'll be fine.

I'm picking Truls to beat LSD tomorrow. The arena is going to be shaking.

Simon is going to need to get his 2nd wind for game 6 and possibly game 7.

She no longer plays in T-League. She plays in JTTL for Denso. It makes it easier for her to play WTT tournaments scheduling wise, and she wants a shot at the Olympics.

Ugh! I just can't get used to this games to 7. Way too quick. WTT needs to get rid of it.

A great match between Yokoi and Hirano. Yokoi comes out on top 6,5,-10,-4,7. Up next is Zhang Rui vs. Hitomi Sato.

Sakura Yokoi is playing Miu Hirano as I type this NP Mallets vs. Abyell

I know that's true for the National team. It could be for T-league. They are an official supplier.

Just FYI, the livestream is free on YouTube. On demand is available via membership. As I type this Ryoichi Yoshiyama of KM Meister is playing against Jang Woojin of Kanazawa Port:

Both are playing amazing table tennis, but I'm going with local hero Truls.

LSD is the favorite to win, but the remaining players are absolutely a threat to him.

Any way you measure it, Sabine has exceeded expectations probably even her own. The CNT has some pips/anti headaches they're going to have to deal with: India, Sabine, Honoka, Kim Kum Yong. Not to mention inverted players like Miwa and Satsuki. Hana Goda and Bruna are also coming along nicely.

Shi Xunyao now 6-2 H2H vs. Kuai Man 👀

HY wouldn't have the opportunities to play Olympics WC if she were in China. Kinda the same problem Honoka has in Japan. From https://tleague.jp/ranking/player.php?player=30039&year=2018 2018-19 42.9% 2019-20 66.7% 2020-21 64.7% 2021-22 36.8% 2022-23 30%

Han Ying used to play in T-League and actually had a losing record. Japanese players know how to play against choppers. In contrast Honoka was league MVP one year and had a very dominant record. She also had a strong record throughout her entire T League career. Han Ying is a fine player of...
