I was actually scared for Rachel after post game interviewer, Ozzie Chow, asked Rachel, "What was it that you thought Deborah did very well.."... I sure as heck would not have been able to come up with an answer.

https://jtta.or.jp/tour/24778 Format is best of 5 for stage 1 and best of 7 for stage 2 (from R64 on when top players play) Last year's winners were Tomokazu Harimoto and Hina Hayata. Who will take the title this year? Live Stream Men's Singles Draws Women's Singles Draws Junior Boys...

Interesting. I wonder if this means they will extend the national team to include 8 players instead of the current 5. For sure Odo will have to be on the national team in the next update, but this may allow someone like Hashimoto(I hope so!) to make the team giving her greater access to...

IIRC, Hirano started having great results after changing coaches to coach Nakazawa. He also coaches T League team, Abyell which includes Miwa, Hirano, Kihara, and Nagasaki. Great pick for WT head coach.

All the drama aside, I do want to commend Andy Pereira for keeping his composure and winning the next point to force a Golden Point. Also, he was fantastic in the doubles match getting everything back. Florida traded Kaden Xu and a 2025 1st round draft pick to the Bay Area Blasters to get him...

If anyone wants to see what we're all taking about:

It was close, but I think Andy got it clean. I did not see a double bounce and certainly not conclusively a double bounce which is what is required for a call to be overturned. Very questionable overturn.

Florida Crocs and Seattle Spinners playing now as I type this. I missed out on the first team matchup between Chicago WInd and Portland Paddlers. On replay I see that they did male vs female matchups. Nikhil Kumar (Paddlers) wins 2-1 over Mo Zhang (Wind). In the other matchup, Kotomi Omoda...

Sure I'm thankful for zeio's contributions to the forum, but that doesn't mean I cannot disagree with what I believe to be a narrative on Hayata's accomplishments that's so divorced from reality. She dominated the headlines when it came to Japan women's TT during the Paris cycle. You'd be hard...

I was responding to your comment "Even they don't give much weight to medals won against WYD.". Forum members can click on *your links* which is what I quoted and decide for themselves if your narrative rings true or false to them. The fact that you most likely have to go through at least 2...

Yes, zeio. We know ... we know. The gig is up though. We know you like to quote just the part that fits your narrative and not the rest of the context which paints a very different picture. Maybe you're relying on forum goers not actually clicking on your link and reading the rest of what...

Not too much time to rest because he has the All Japan (1/21-1/26) before the Singapore Smash (1/30-2/9). That goes for all the top Japanese men and women. Fortunately, the Main Draw for the Smash doesn't start until 2/2 so there is a little bit of a cushion.

I guess it's SXY's turn to take the ranking points. KM, SXY, and QTY are marching their way towards the top 10. They'll probably be bumping into each other and other top CNT women as well, but at some point in the year there's a high probability that they land there.

No zeio.. that's your interpretation of what they said. When you actually look at what they said, it's clear they do think highly of Hayata's win over WYD. These are from your links: Harimoto: Even among the women, it's amazing that Hayata-san (Hina Hayata/Nippon Life Insurance Company)...

Yokoi's goal for this year is top 15: (Turn on subtitles and auto-translate to your language)

So...... Nice list: Hirano, DHK Naughty list: Hayata, Sora (and eventually little sister, Miku) If nice player wins: Great win! If nice player loses: Best not to overextend yourself. Knows when to stop If naughty player wins: Working too hard ... overextending yourself. Also, haven't beaten...

Whew! Yokoi at 2-2,10-4 loses 6 pts in a row before winning 12-10 over Sreeja Akula.

First round exit to SXY in Doha is understandable, but Hirano did not play like the potential T-League MVP that she had been showing prior to Doha. To be fair though, Yangzi Liu has shown flashes playing a really close match with Miwa not that long ago. But when you're trying to get back into...
