JJH joins the retirement party: https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/retirement-of-south-koreas-table-tennis-star-jeon-jihee-raises-eyebrows-119759?srsltid=AfmBOorfC9a80rDAxH3Yj3xJZlHuIqfq749PsVGErOW5ub1OJitA4O7N

Not a big deal. She played 2 doubles matches last season. I'm just glad she's back in the league and capable of doing a BH banana flick pain free:

Japan women's table tennis team coach Takehiro Watanabe to retire at the end of March next year.

Hayata apparently is in good enough condition to play on Dec 26 in T-League match between Red Elves vs. Asteeda. The team matchup will also include CIC on Hayata's team (Red Elf) and SYB on Asteeda. https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/236006

Somewhat interesting that although Sakura Yokoi and Miyu Nagasaki are not JNT members, Yokoi gets the paid for spot vacated by Hayata's probably late decision despite having world ranking lower than that of Nagasaki. I do understand it though with Yokoi's recent success. In any case, happy to...

Definitely a Smash is needed in Europe, but why just 3 days after WTT Champions Japan? And why cram 3 Smashes in 3 consecutive months: US Smash - July, Europe Smash - August, China Smash - September. Scheduling could have been better.

Congrats to the 2024 US Open Table Tennis Champions: Kanak Jha, Men's Singles Guo Yan, Women's Singles Seiya Numamura / Tonin Ryuzaki, Men's Doubles Asuka Sasao / Reina Aso, Women's Doubles Koyo Kanamitsu / Minami Ando, Mixed Doubles

Heartbreaker for Ando being up 3-0 and could not convert on 2 match points. One thing about Asuka is that she's a fighter. Whatever she lacks in skills she makes up for in toughness. To her credit this year, she's held down the fort for the Nissay Red Elves with Hayata out of commission. She...

Kayama Yu knocks out Kou Lei 4-2.

It's scheduled for 1p local time, but it's on table 4 so it won't be livestreamed.

Freedom is coming just around the corner.

If anything, Olah is the one with the illegal serves. I noticed from the beginning of the match that he leaves his free arm hanging out there until the very last split second.

Mathieu De Saintilan and I saw some junior named Connor Lee.

She entered "Rising Star World TTA" as her affiliated club. Their website shows her picture which does look like the former CNT junior: https://www.rswtta.com/general-7

Amy faces Liu Gaoyang tomorrow in the QF. Wow, so many quality contenders in WS: Liu Gaoyang, Nina Mittelham, Amy Wang, Minami Ando, Asuka Sasao.

I think so... she has an estimated rating of 2600.

If I'm not mistaken, a couple of former (or maybe even current pros) are in WS: Liu Gaoyang and Guo Yan (not the one you're thinking of, but a younger one).
