https://worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=2871 Two days of qualification which start tomorrow. Main draw starts Thursday. Tomo is top seed in MS. Sora Matsushima, Yoshimura, and Tanaka start off the race for highest world ranking to earn a spot for the Asian Championships later this...

Last match was 3-1. Overall score was 3-2 for SGP. Spirited effort from Vietnam.

They all want to be like Miu Hirano and sign a contract with Sanrio, the makers of Hello Kitty.

"I've been practicing with the sole focus on beating the higher-ranked players" - Comments from Satsuki Ooto, winner of Asian Championship qualifying tournament

Even with this early loss for SYB, I do not believe it is even possible for Hirano to take the 4th seed at the Olympics. There's currently a gap of 437 pts between SYB and Hirano. Unfortunately for Hirano, she has so many more points to defend. She's going to have 400 pts expiring on July 2...

Wow! What an amazing match. Satsuki Odo comes from behind to win it! So many amazing rallies .... this super high level attack vs. super high level defense should be seen at WTT matches. Sure hope Sato and Hashimoto and of course Odo get to go to more WTT tournaments.

Wow was I wrong about Odo vs. Sato. Sato's plan for the Odo smash is to countersmash it. Sato playing amazing. Edit: Odo now targeting BH corner to prevent Sato countersmash in game 3. Odo now has to deal with high pressure from Sato.

Odo and Sato into the Finals. The way Odo plays against defense might be the best in the world in the women's game. Very hard to come back when she's able to gauge that FH smash over and over. And she also has a flat drive on the BH for winners as well. Odo beat Sato in the Finals at Feeder...

Wow, according to this article, Kihara's racket failed inspection prior to playing Sato, and she had to use her coach's racket.

Semifinalists Women: Sakura Yokoi vs Hitomi Sato and Satsuki Odo vs. Honoka Hashimoto All four semi-finalists are on the same T-League team: NP Mallets! No Miyus. Kihara lost to Sato. Nagasaki played poorly and ended up with a 2-2 record losing to Misuzu Takeya and Honoka Hashimoto. With the...

Bumping this as it starts in about 12 hours. I'll probably only be able to watch (TV Tokyo YouTube) the 1st round of matches tonight and then Women's SF tomorrow night.

Mima Ito deserves to be on the list. Especially early on in her career, her serves could win the point outright, handcuff her opponent with deceptive amount of spin, or setup the 3rd ball for easy smash.

Now Hugo has withdrawn due to injury as well. A real bummer especially for the local fans. Edit: https://x.com/WTTGlobal/status/1803110427573784628

Chen Xingtong and Lin Gaoyuan were added as Host Wildcards to Star Contender Bangkok. Will be a good test for Hayata and company.

This is the 3rd time in Hayata's career that she has pulled off the weekly back to back Singles titles. In 2021 she won the Star Contender Doha and Asian Championships in back to back weeks. In 2023 she won Contender Muscat and Contender Antalya in back to back weeks. And now in 2024...

For now Felix is ahead, but Hugo is signed up for Contender Lagos and Felix is not so the swap in rankings will most likely happen in a week.

Hugo's power and consistency too much for Felix to handle. 4-0.

That's how he releases stress. Can't remember which, but there was a tournament recently where he got angry and did something similar, but it turned around the match and he ended up winning.

Congratulations Hayata! Back to back Mixed Doubles AND Singles titles as well for Hayata. I'm glad there's a break before the next tournament. Hope she gets some well deserved good rest.
