Yeah, he used to be with the Portland Paddlers, but I don't see him anywhere on the board.

10 yr old Miku Matsushima (younger sister of Sora Matsushima) might just be the next JNT women's superstar in a few years. She just won the U15 GS at Youth Contender Havrov beating 14 yo compatriot Rio Shintani in the finals, and also beat compatriot 13 yo Karin Hanazawa along the way. She's...

2024 WTT Champions Chongqing, China 5/30-6/3 https://worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=2941 Being a Champions tournament, lots of points and decent money are up for grabs with 1st round payout of 8500 USD. Draws are out already. Hayata in SYS's quarter. Miwa in CM's quarter. Ito gets...

New rankings are out that include points from both Taiyuan and Rio De Janeiro: Hirano 13 -> 11 Kihara 22 -> 20 Nagasaki 37 -> 23 Sato 131 -> 106 Hashimoto 254 -> 135 Hirano just misses the top 10, but she will be at Champions Chongqing so will have a chance to break into the top 10 there...

https://worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=2934 A number of players from Contender Rio that are not invited to WTT Champions Chongqing have shifted over to WTT Contender Mendoza. In MS An Jaehyun and Yuta Tanaka will give it another shot without having to deal with Rio Champion, Hugo...

I think that makes it 4 Japanese women in the top 10 (Hayata, Miwa, Ito, Hirano). I don't know if that's ever happened before. And the Miyus are moving up the rankings as well. I think Kihara will be into the teens and Nagasaki into the 20s.

This will be a confidence booster for her for sure. The level of competition for 3 spots is so intense though with Hayata, Hirano, Miwa, and Kihara ahead of her. I give her a lot of credit for turning a relative weakness, serve return, into a strength with her BH flick. Needs to improve...

MIYU NAGASAKI gets her 1st Senior title !!! So happy for her.

Hashimoto / Sato as expected win in 3 straight games. They didn't lose a single game all tournament. Hugo 4-0 over An Jaehyun. Hugo playing on a different level. Up next is a Japan battle: Hayata vs. Nagasaki.

As expected, Hayata advances to the finals in 3 straight games over Bruna. Hayata is the heavy favorite as I don't think Miyu has ever beaten Hayata. If Miyu doesn't beat Hayata tomorrow, I am really, really hoping she takes the title at WTT Contender Mendoza which starts next week. Best of...

Miyu in 3 straight over SXN. She makes it to the finals having not lost a single game yet.

IMHO, Hashimoto is the best chopper in the world. She took Mima Ito to 7 games in one of the domestic trials.

No problem for Miyu beating Christina. SXN up 2-1 on SYB now, but SYB winning that 3rd game.

Not quite next. Hirano faces WYD, and Kihara faces CXT. Hirano will go into her match with lots of confidence given the last time they met, Hirano beat WYD 3-0. H2H, CXT leads Kihara 2-0. But every meeting is a new opportunity.

Couldn't find a livestream for the Ma Jinbao/LSS match on Table 3, but LSS wins 3-2, 11-9 in the 5th. Very commendable tournament for Ma Jinbao.

What a comeback from Hirano !!!!
