That penhold blade looks huge in the hands of an 8-year-old.

Haha that U21 women's singles draw... 8 women competing, 6 of them are Japanese. The two non-Japanese players face each other in the first round. Zeng Jian vs Doo Hoi Kem Sakura Mori vs Miyu Kato Hina Hayata vs Miyu Maeda Saki Shibata vs Yui Hamamoto

Recently the men's teams of the Netherlands and England faced each other for ETTTC qualification. The matches have been uploaded by the channel Tafeltennis Next Level; very high quality videos, slow motions and the recording angle which the ITTF should really start using as well... They also...

There indeed was a short period of time in which the ITTF was blocking uploads with content that was theirs. But I think they started to realize that YouTube videos are a great way making table tennis accesible to the world, so they stopped blocking. I have videos on YouTube with ITTF content...

Girls' teams of Japan and China currently at 1-1.. This could be the first time ever that neither of China's junior teams win the title. Japan won the girls' teams title in 2010 and the boys' team title in 2005. The rest has been Chinese domination.

I agree. Even in the slow motions it looks like he's just serving with no spin.

Great blog! More practice area footage please. :)

Why have the Chinese withdrawn?

ITTF switched to Laola1.tv for stream hosting, which is an Austrian/German company (also used by ETTU). That's probably why people outside Europe will have problems watching the streams.

Yes. Go the the ITTF ranking (http://ittf.com/ittf_ranking/) and click on the player's ranking points in the far right column. You will end up on the player's statistics page. There you can find links for this month's matches, matches since Jan 2014, and all time results. These are only...

See 15:30, Whetherill-style shot by Kelly van Zon!

There isn't really a definition of 'grand slam' within table tennis, but I guess most people would say that the time span doesn't matter. So in that case, the answer to your last question would be yes.

I think Düsseldorf certainly has a very strong team with 5 top-100 players, and Saarbrücken and Ochsenhausen are good runner-ups. But don't underestimate Fulda - Wang Xi and Filus don't play many tournaments, but they managed to end up in first place last season with the exact same team: 1...

The new season of the German League or Tischtennis Bundesliga (TTBL) will be opened on August 28! The following 9 teams will be playing this season: TTBL 16/17 teams - images by ttbl.de Defending champion Düsseldorf has some major team changes; Franziska and Gionis left, but Fegerl...

Whoah hey, I never intended to point fingers or blame the Chinese. I'm just writing about the problems as I experienced them.

The ITTF has published the new August world rankings after Rio! The event results included in this ranking are from the Rio Olympic Games. New Olympic Champion Ma Long maintains World number 1 status! Ma Long, Rio Olympic Champion in August 2016 - Photo by: ITTF Flickr Notable changes...

Yes, in the Netherlands sometimes people complain about other combinations as well, but I feel like it happens a lot more with table tennis (and badminton). I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's just the stereotype of linking table tennis with China. The Dutch women's team has performed really well a...
