Current WR#100 has 194 points. He currently has 8 pts from R32 of Feeder Otocec. Winning a Feeder is worth 125 points so he needs at least another tournament. WTT takes your best 8 tournaments for your ranking so it'll be a while before we see a useful ranking. Regardless of ranking, his...

Back to back Feeder wins for Odo! Up next: Kanak Jha vs. An Jaehyun. Let's go Kanak!

Although at this point, it does look like Odo is stronger than Yokoi, it's too early to tell for any LA 2028 possibility. Yokoi played Hirano 3 times in T-League and won all 3 times. I think she did reasonably well at the latter half of the Paris race as well. But I do recall Odo making the...

Yokoi needs to work on her consistency on rallies, but I think it's mostly a mental hurdle she needs to overcome with Lee Eunhye. In fairness, Women's Doubles Finals was the last match of the evening at Feeder Varazdin, Croatia and she had to go to Dusseldorf for qualifiers the next day...

No. Since the USA Men did not qualify a team, currently there are no USA men qualified for singles. Kanak Jha and Nikhil Kumar placed the 2 highest in the recent 2024 USA Olympic Trials so they will be sent to the 2024 ITTF Americas Olympic Qualification Tournament where the top 4 will be...

Kanak Jha just dismantled Hiroto Shinozuka who I thought had a good chance of winning the tournament. Live chat was funny because some Japanese commenters said he must have been doping. If he continues to play like this, Kanak will definitely take one of the Olympic spots from the ITTF...

Poor Nagasaki. She's been downgraded to national team candidate. https://jtta.or.jp/national/womens

2024 WTT Dusseldorf starts in a few hours. Kanak Jha got a wildcard in the Main Draw so he won't need to go through 2 days of qualification. Good luck to him.

Odo and Yokoi won Doubles. Odo is fortunate to be the last player in the Main Draw for Feeder Dusseldorf. Yokoi is in the Qualifiers which literally starts tomorrow.

An Jaehyun grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory. Up 2-1, 10-5 suddenly starts playing passively. Congrats WCT for the comeback. Although Yokoi was my pick to win the women's singles, I'm just as happy for Satsuki Odo winning 3-1 over Lee Eunhye. Odo has a chance for a doubles crown as...

Steve doesn't explain *what* was communicated to the players at the Singapore Smash as to *why* it takes so long to get their money. In Aruna's case, not getting paid for events that took place in January is unacceptable, and I can fully understand why he would be upset. This is not the way it...

I love this quote from the translated article: My parents told me, ``You should either study or play table tennis seriously.'' “Then I thought playing table tennis would be better than studying.” :ROFLMAO:

Quarterfinals for tomorrow: Men: Luka Mladenovic Feng Yi-Hsin Wong Chun Ting Alexandre Cassin Eduard Ionescu Kristian Karlsson An Jaehyun Harmeet Desai Women: Saki Shibata Lee Eunhye Lee Zion Sakura Yokoi Zeng Jian Satsuki Odo Adina Diaconu Sibel Altinkaya My picks to win it all are An...

First round at the WTT Champions Incheon prize money is $3500. It's bad enough that the prize money is so low for table tennis compared to many other sports, but not getting paid right away is unacceptable imho.

They've only played once at the 2023 WTT Star Contender Goa. LSD won 3-2. CDS lost to Alexander Cassin in this Feeder tournament 3-1.

Saki Shibata just scraped by in QR2 against Yoo Siwoo of S. Korea winning 12-10 in the 5th. All 3 Mallets teammates are about to start play in the final qualifying round with Odo on table 1.

She's with her NP Mallets teammates, Sakura Yokoi and Satsuki Odo, both of whom are equally as good. Wish the Mallets would have made room for Honoka Hashimoto.... best defender in the world and one of my favorites to watch. Looks like Akae (who beat Hirano at the All Japan) will be at the 2nd...

LJK able to pin ML to the BH not letting him make the turn to FH or making it uncomfortable. First win over ML internationally must feel great.

zeio is locked into his position of calling for Hayata to retire. Calling someone dumb for failing to defeat the best player in the world speaks volumes of the poster. Hayata obviously did better than Mima, Miwa, and Miu at this tournament. I suspect the CNT coaches are a bit more concerned...

Hugo playing perfect table tennis. Kept short pushes short, and occasional sharp, long pushes surprising FZD. He's right up with the best of them in terms of backhands. When he plays fearlessly like that, he really can beat anyone.
