  1. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    Oh, I didn't realize UTT was over already. Time really flies. I guess now she'll be preparing China Smash which is coming up in 11 days. She'll be hoping to get a good draw to advance at least 1 round. R64 = $5,000 USD, R32 = $11,000 USD.

    Don't know about the others, but Lily is playing UTT in India.
  3. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    Okay, if that's the argument then I'm not buying it. Match times: WYD/Hirano R16 match 5/25/2023 @ 19:10, WYD/Hayata QF match 5/26/2023 @ 18:30. Highly doubtful the CNT wouldn't have WYD focused and prepared for Japan's (China's biggest rival) top player a full day later.
  4. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    In the round prior to Hayata beating WYD at the WTTC, WYD beat Hirano 4-0. Hayata's deuce in the 7th (21-19) win saving 9 match ponits was one of the greatest matches of all time and was very emotional for Hayata obviously and a heartbreaker for WYD.
  5. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    No I'm not discrediting or degrading anyone's achievements. I'm not sure how you got that from my post. I'm just responding to your statement about it not being fair to judge achievements based on how difficult it was to achieve it. Do you think it's fair to say Hirano's 2017 Asian...
  6. WTT Feeder Panagyurishte, Bulgaria 2024 Sep 11-15

    Great win for 16 yr old Yuna Ojio over 20 year old Fan Shuhan of China 3-2,11-9.

    Yep, it helps that Hashimoto and Sato are Odo's T-League teammates. Odo and Ito are like two professors of how to play choppers.
  8. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    I think you do have to judge achievements based on how difficult it was to achieve it. But that's actually a strong point for Hirano as she beat DN, ZYL, and CM to win the 2017 Asian Championship. I don't think at this point we can say that one player of the 3 has clearly outdone the others...

    Taiwan is developing a really good Men's Team with LYJ and KCJ. Feng Yi-Hsin is pretty good too, but if he could step it up, the team balance will be really good.

    I think Miwa will beat CXT. They've never played each other before, but Miwa can draw upon her experience of beating WYD . She'll need to take risks by occasionally switching to bh parallel rather than staying on the diagonal like what Hirano did. Gotta make sure she's constantly testing CXT's...
  12. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    It'll be interesting to see with what they come up with for the selection criteria for LA 2028. Although WR should play a part of it, it has its own problems. What about NER, lucky/unlucky draws, conflicts with salary paying league matches, built in advantage National Team members for paid...

    Kihara is still in it.
  14. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    Hirano must be taking notes on how to beat Pavade.
  15. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    In fairness Tomo knocked out one of the Japanese males.
  16. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    Looks like Miwa recovered nicely from her loss at Almaty. No problems whatsoever with YXX.
  17. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    Amy looked so uncomfortable out there. Right now Amy doesn't have the consistent controlled spin game in her repertoire ... at least one of the caliber needed to beat a Linda Bergstrom. There's no female chopper in the USA that I know of that is near Linda's level. However, maybe she can get...

    Tough draw for Miu Hirano getting CXT in R32. She has to go back to the drawing board as she hasn't won a game against a top 5 CNT player since her 3-0 win over WYD at World Teams Championship.

    I don't think it's about income. She's very bright and has been very successful post-TT. From https://www.laitimes.com/en/article/6depk_6tr0e.html Currently, Zhu Yuling also serves as the executive director of a semiconductor technology company in Guangzhou, one of the family businesses.
