The recently completed Hungary Open began a great year for the ITTF World Tour. I have compiled a detailed report of the statistics for this wonderful event. In the image below you can find total number of games, matches, and points for open singles, doubles, and U21 events. Also included are...

Has nobody else noticed the ominous presence of Li Ping!? The chinese player has the easiest group, and is underrated for this event. I would consider him the clear favorite. Wang Xi could also pull some upsets....

True Willfred, but you might not have remembered them. I was there for it (2003 was my first NZ open) but can't remember much of the Junior Circuit, cos I was only 13 at the time and didn't know who the players were :p You would have been... 7 years old LOL

Great future prospect for Hong Kong, unless of course... he decides to represent another country. ;)

Nice victory Liam. I love how the Russian pronounces Lie-am in the interview at the end, haha. Great work though. Hoping to see an English player break through the top 100 this year, and everyone knows Mr Pitchford has the most potential to do so!

Oh, just checked to verify, and Ryu is actually playing with Seo Hyun Deok. Might want to fix up the thread. Although it's cool to see the occasional multinational pairs, like Freitas and Gacina.

Kim Min Seok will be one to watch. Also, did anyone else notice Ryu Seung Min is playing doubles with Leung Chu Yan from Hong Kong... that seems odd to me, especially since there are many Korean players he could have paired with. I thought he'd be with Lee Jung Woo.

Although, if we include Matrix Ping Pong, that's the front runner, with over 15million views.

These stats should not be considered 100% accurate. I just typed in Table Tennis on Youtube and narrowed it down to Sports, then had a look for your video. It's already on the second page, so i thought I'd just count through the above videos, some of which are not table tennis at all. The reason...

ttDaily should make a poll for this.

Currently this video is the 20th most viewed Table Tennis video on YouTube. It just overtook ttCountenance's most viewed, and is rising at unprecedented speed. All 19 videos above are from at least 1 year ago, the top three from 5 years ago. Still plenty of ground to cover, but I'm sure this...

Very interesting. Thanks. Looking forward to more. Yan An has a great future too, but I'm not sure who will complete the Men's team of 5 players: Ma Long Zhang Jike Xu Xin Yan An ... Fang Bo? (I don't think so!)

Brilliant. Thank you Dan. Looks much better now.

Here are the statistics which I have slaved over for most of 2011 and all of December thusfar. They show data from all 16 Open events as well as the Pro Tour Grand Finals. This table shows extracted data from the spreadsheet. The statistics below display the frequency of 'Expected' and 'Upset'...

Yasaka Pryde range is a good equivalent to the Tenergy range. Better in my opinion, but I sell the stuff so I'm biased ;)

The increase in Grand Finals prize pool also results in reduced prize pools for the other World Tour Open's. Kuwait Open is down to $210'000 and China has gone down too. They all offer tiny amounts except the Grand Finals! Four tournaments offer a measly $35'000 total prize pool each, I can't...

lele thop Need I say more Matt?

Points played. The ITTF already has stats for competition points accumulated.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new thread within the next few days: Statistics from Pro Tour 2011. Stats from the entire pro tour. I haven't finished calculating it, but the total number of points played throughout the 17 events should be close to half a million. :o

It's not really fair to show a head-to-head results for Waldner vs Wang Hao, Ma Long etc. They're in a different generation. However, if Waldner in his prime played against Ma Long in his prime, I still believe Ma Long would win easily. Of course Waldner was (and still is) a legend, but too much...
