The venue looked very impressive. I liked the men's and women's tables next to each other.

He was tearing up during the ceremony and who knows what was happening backstage.

Feel bad for LGY. The man was crying.

I saw 2014 and stopped skimming right there.

I know Dang Qiu also complained about the playing system for the group stage and that whole delayed payment thing is a huge flag. I guess players need to collectively complain about their issues to make it gain track.

Isn't there an athletes committee that can deal with this stuff?

I know they don't make much money, but it takes years to become an umpire for the international circuit and it's not easy. Why bother if you aren't invested?

There is no need. The ball needs to be visible all the time per rules. The problem is that umpires don't enforce them and at the same time they are not able to judge serves accurately. It also falls unto players to complain when opponents don't serve properly, but most don't. You also run into...

They are really badly positioned. I asked a national umpire and that was his answer when I asked him that question. You would need a service judge(s) like in badminton. That's his/her only job, but it's also way easier to tell and the judge has a device for it.

The hawkeye is coming. There are no details yet though as to when and which events will feature it.

Sora's serve got called twice now by the assistant umpire for not being vertical enough. I love when umpires arbitrarily decide to call serves thinking they should start doing their job.

Lind unable to block or counter with his backhand and blaming his rubber. He was so pissed, left in a hurry after the match and left his coach behind.

The buffering is crazy on my end. I can't even watch two points without it.

Amy being absolutely ruthless.

Did Gauzy cheat? I couldn't tell if it was edge or side, but the umpires did a bad job. Announcing 9-9 and 10-8 immediately after and then shrugging off Gauzy when he complained about the way they handled it. The hawkeye can't come soon enough.

Anyone else's streams keep buffering frequently? It's really annoying.

I think you might be right. The oldest videos and livestreams on the ITTFWorld channel are from two years ago.

Chair against Emil?

I know, but why split the streaming of ITTF events onto two channels.

It's weird how some ITTF events are being streamed on the WTT channel and others on the ITTFWorld channel. The World Cup will be streamed on the latter.
