Kuai Man beats compatriot QTY 4-2 to take the WS title. Despite dropping to WR#80, she has really improved in multiple areas most noticeably footwork, reaction time, and fitness. Maybe this is a turning point for her to become the leader of the next generation. Taking the title here should...

Feels a little strange to say this, but this is not a bad draw for Lily. She actually has a 3-1 record vs. Miu Hirano. Their last meeting was 2023 SC Bangkok where Lily won 3-0 (11,8,6). Hirano needs to bring her 'A' game.

Congrats to Yokoi beating Jiangshan Guo 6,5,6. Congrats to Guo for even making it to the finals!

Uda says win or lose I'm gonna 3rd ball you to death.

Odo gets a net gain of 90 points (140 - 50) from Muscat to bring her to 2328 which puts her past SYB to take the #10 ranking. Mima Ito has a net loss of 85 points with expiring points which puts her at 2355 so Odo will be within 27 points of her compatriot.

HZJ has a 3-2 record over Kasumi.

It was a good run for Odo, but she's human... The 2 Champions events were thrust upon her with Muscat in between. It's not much, but she does get a short break before Champions Frankfurt which begins on Sunday.

Bay Area Blasters play today. Since Jiangsheng Guo is playing in Feeder Prishtina and Lily Zhang is playing in Frankfurt, I assume Kheith Cruz will be playing the female position.

Great win for Odo over He Zhuojia considering HZJ's record over a number of top Japanese women: 5-0 vs. Mima 2-0 vs. Hirano 1-0 vs. Miwa 1-0 vs. Kihara 1-0 vs. Shibata Nagasaki did beat her 3-2 at 2022 Contender Tunis. Hayata has never played her. HZJ did beat Odo once before in 2018 when Odo...

What a run by Jiangshan Guo making it all the way to the finals! However, Sakura Yokoi should be able to stop her.

And now she just made it to the final of WTT Feeder Prishtina where she will face Sakura Yokoi!

Tough win for QTY 3-2 over Lee Eunhye. She had a major mental lapse in game 3 up 7-3 and losing it 11-7. She did recover, but if she plays like that vs. SXY then she'll lose. Hoping Odo can take down KM to get to the finals. I think she can. I don't think KM can handle Odo's combination of...

Just saw that MLTT's Jiangshan Guo (USA), a female player who has stepped in for the Bay Area Blasters, beat both Natalie Bajor and Yoo Siwoo (very good player from S. Korea who beat Kihara) 3-0 at WTT Feeder Prishtina.

Still way too early, but for fun I thought I'd revisit this thread. Some things are shaping up. Some haven't panned out and maybe never will. I think my biggest surprise is that I thought QTY would do a lot better than she has. I've always thought she held a lot of promise, but maybe CNT...

In the past I've always though of Ito as the best player to play against choppers, but now I think that title might have to go to Odo. And Odo's style in general is just pleasing to watch. Here you have a young woman who's maybe an inch taller than Ito and she's doing BH drives from 10-15 ft...

Wasn't this the tournament that China withdrew their Chinese players from T-League until Japan brought their top players to the tournament? How the tables have turned.

The Race to WTT Finals is still ongoing. Odo's win at Montpellier qualified her for Fukuoka. Hirano is in the lead position for one of the remaining spots and will most likely make it in.

FWIW, Satsuki Odo is currently the 4th highest ranked Japanese woman and has a chance to leapfrog Mima Ito in ranking. Mima has 175 points expiring next Tuesday with 90 points in reserve for a net loss of 85 points. That puts Odo within 117 pts of Mima. If Odo can make it to the finals (worth...

Hmmm.. I don't know about that. Odo now has a target on her back and the CNT brought 8 women in the Main draw to Contender Muscat including QTY, Shi Xunyao, Chen Yi, KM among others. It's not a foregone conclusion that she would win. And the cost of going deep could be degraded performance at...

https://worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=2997 Headlined by Lin Shidong in MS and Satsuki Odo in WS. China brought 8 women in the Main Draw and 3 women in Qualifiers to try and take down the newly crowned Montpellier Champion. Qualification stage starts tomorrow, 10/28, and Main Draw...
