Most attractive male: Jung Youngsik in his playing days looked like he could be in a Korean boy band. Most attractive female: Miyu Nagasaki

Cho Daesong making some unreal shots in XD w/ SYB vs. LSD / KM. I think this is S. Korea's best XD pairing.

Annett interview back in Germany after World Youth Championship

Annett takes down Zong Geman of China. So happy for her. Can't wait to see what she does in 2025!

Zong Geman prevents an all German final with her 4-2 win over a very impressive Mia Griesel. Zong faces Annett who is a future European Champion.

I have a tendency to overlook how good Hana Goda is because of how good Miwa is. But then I remind myself that she beat CXT at WTT Champions Montpelier. Another impressive win for Hana over Qin Yuxuan of China who is 2 years her senior. Should be a fun battle with Annette Kaufmann in the SF of...

Look up Hashimoto's record this year. She's beaten Miwa and Shin Yubin this year in addition to a number of Chinese players.

Kyoka takes the title in a 3-2, 11-9 thriller over a very, very good Wang Xiaotong of China!

Heartbreaker for Idesawa/Takeya in WD as they were leading for much of the match against Chen/Han. They are both still active in WS though.

Looks like Park Gahyeon was the heroine of the U19 GT winning both of her matches to take the title over Team Taiwan. Taiwan has a couple of really good players: Yeh Yi-Tian and Cheng Pusyuan. Yeh Yi-Tian has star potential. She is very stable and has a mature game. I didn't realize she was...

Not sure where you got that idea. Hashimoto beat both SYB and Miwa in singles recently. And both Hashimoto and Sato are the best of the best choppers. Both have improved their attacking capabilities and any weak shot gets punished. Their opponents both have to be good at driving the ball...

Miu performed well in WT at the Olympics, but nothing special. She did win all of her singles matches leading up to the Finals. She lost to SYS (11,6,6). That's fine. I wasn't expecting her to win that match, but to somehow catapult her into de facto ace position seems a bit much. Team Japan got...

Very impressive week for Chen Xingtong. She takes out SYS. Beats Hirano 3-0 who she had lost to at the ATTC (which in her defense she got pulled in at the last minute due to WMY's family issue). Beats rival, WYD, 4-0. And makes WMY go the distance of 7 games in the finals. It's a good start...

U19 Girls Teams ... China down 0-2 to S. Korea as I type this, but looks like match 3 will go to China.

This is just laughable. I mean I'm a fan of Miu Hirano as well, but absolute ace? Come on. Absolute ace who lost to Shin Yubin, the same player that Hayata beat even with an injured playing arm. And then even with a bad injury came close to creating the upset in doubles in the teams event...

You know that's not his dad, right?
