Your Montpellier Champions

Odo now has a bit of a conundrum. She has back to back to back tournaments. She just finished Montpellier going the full distance. She is signed up for Contender Muscat (starts tomorrow, but Main Draw starts on Wednesday). Then immediately afterwards, she will be playing Champions Frankfurt...

I think it's a combination of Odo surpassing everybody's expectations including hers and Miwa looking exhausted. These things happen. Nagasaki beat Hayata at Contender Rio, for example. Shouldn't happen, but happens more often with compatriots as familiarity with style also factors in. But...

I've got nothing else to say except Satsuki Odo is amazing!!!!!!

True, Hina dominates in the H2H. World ranking wise, Miwa will close the gap considerably after this tournament but with Hina not playing it's a foregone conclusion that Miwa's ranking will surpass Hina's. But beating WYD and more importantly SYS to lead Team Japan to victory at the Asian...

Just amazing! Felix has really stepped up his FH. And the momentum of the crowd is just amazing. WTT, more majors in France, please.

Miwa surpassing Hina had to happen sooner or later. I must admit to being pleasantly surprised how much sooner it has happened. It's so gratifying to see the growth of players like Miwa and Satsuki. I know Miwa is the overwhelming favorite to win, but I do hope Satsuki gets a game or two (or...

Congratulations Satsuki Odo! CIC is so skilled and such a tough competitor beating a number of top Japanese players (Hayata, Hirano, Ito, Kihara). Odo's serves I think are among the best in the world especially that kick serve. And some of her receives are just as amazing (CIC even had to...

Hina playing through the pain to win bronze is viewed as heroic by the vast majority. Swap out Hayata and swap in either Hirano or DHK, and zeio would probably say the same. He derided Nina Mittelham for pulling out of the 2022 Euro Championship due to shoulder injury during her match with...

Nice to see Zhu Yuling again. Yokoi beat Yoo Siwoo, the player who beat Miyuu Kihara at 2024 Contender Almaty.

For those that have not seen this, you need to watch this point:

That might even already be the case with her beating Manika so decisively and CXT losing to Goda.

So happy for Odo. She's playing incredible. Strong game all around serve, receive, rally.

LOL ... That's what I heard too! Duda is just soaking it in. He deserves this!

The Bannister Effect named after Roger Bannister who first broke the 4 minute mile which was thought to be impossible at the time.

Great call!

Hana's rise is great for Egypt and Africa! She's had close matches against WYD and CM and now beating CXT at a Champions event is amazing!

Mima played a perfect match vs. Pavade.

Hana Goda on fire taking out CXT 3-1 !!!!
