Two really good matches so far. Ma Jinbao seems more vocal to me than Harimoto. Good 3-2 win for him. On table 3 Zhang Wanling of Singapore wins a 12-10 in the 5th match with a very tricky Jian Fang Lay of Australia.

Qualification has started. Ma Jinbao vs. Eric Jouti on Table 2: https://www.youtube.com/@WTTGlobal

https://worldtabletennis.com/eventInfo?eventId=2904 Singapore Smash 2024 starts in a few days. With $1.5M in prize money, all of the top players will be there unless injured (Han Ying) or limited by national entry restrictions of 6 per country. In addition to the money, huge ranking points...

Yes. She took Mima Ito to 7 last time they met in one of the domestic tournaments.

Congrats to Yokoi for not only beating Hirano 3-1, but also winning the 1 game victory match over Kihara. Also, congrats Yokoi's teammate, Honoka Hashimoto, who beat Zhang Rui 3-0. Hashimoto also beat Adriana Diaz 3-1 and 1-0 (victory match) earlier in the season. Amazing player.

A nice boost for Hirano, but she(851 pts) is way behind SYB(1690 pts) for the 4th seed at the Olympics. This is why I don't believe in hiding behind only 'plays well when it matters'. Nonetheless, I have hope for her. She has been playing exceptionally well and is fully capable of winning WTT...

I am sure the CCP would not have been pleased with them playing under the name Taiwan. I've had a number of friends from Taiwan throughout my life spanning multiple age groups. They've always referred to themselves as Taiwanese and being from Taiwan ... never once mentioned Chinese Taipei...

Another great win for Hirano, but come on now ... we all know WMY is the true #2: https://www.ittf.com/race-to-paris-2024/

Coach Ito has a nice ring to it. I think folks can see her in a new light rather than the one propagated by the media and some forum users. Congratulations to Hayata on her first time beating CM. Amazing win. Great experience for Miwa. If she can maintain her quality throughout the entire...

I suspect if it's necessary, CHN will pull WYD out of tournaments to get her ranking down.

Hurricane Hirano!!!! Let's do this!!!

Love Hina Hayata! Table tennis with a smile... she plays with so much joy. Now who was it that called for Hayata's retirement?

It's plausible that it's an H2 with a custom handle, but they can't make a custom handle with the same color scheme as her signature blade?

You not watching the match? She's literally coaching on the bench at the end of games and on timeouts.

She has coaching duties :LOL:

Great back and forth match between Mima Ito and Bernadette Szocs. Ito just squeezes by 11-9 in the 5th by with a great read and response of Szoc's serve at 9-9.

Matsushima gets his revenge by beating Daniel Habesohn convincingly at 3,4,6.
