All hopes on Ishikawa-senpai?

What a pity for Hirano. Played too conservatively towards the end of G1. I like the female commentator - anyone knows who she is? I like this phrase she used - playing not to lose versus playing to win and fluctuating between these two, which aptly describes Hirano's psyche. Wild thought, if...

Shibata looks determined to make WTTC Ito's worst performing major tournament lol

Lily Zhang: Sorry that was before I knew I was partnering LGY. Toodles! WMY: why do I always get the short end of the stick? How many times must I beat CM and SYS before I'm no longer regarded as no.3?!

End of an era, ML, XX and LSW allegedly 'requested' not to attend WTTC. Men's Singles: Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao LGY: Why am I behind WCQ and LJK?? Just because I did really badly during CTTSL and National Games?? Men's Doubles: Fan Zhendong / Wang...

27y/o CM = 22y/o WMY = 20y/o SYS = Young Guns So 26y/o ZYL =?

Ito is not playing XD right? I thought the pairs are Harimoto/Hayata and Uda/Shibata?

Go Shindong!

South Korea Team A couldn't take on Japan Team B+/A- (couldn't make up my mind because Ito is the only A grader from the Olympics trio so not sure what to make sense of this ATTC group) at all – that's surprising. On a side note, Chen Meng is joining hands with her two nemeses Wang Manyu and...

She was supposed to play in all four events like WMY and SYS but is apparently injured and undergoing treatment elsewhere, based on news released 19 Sep. "在小组赛过后，四川女队主教练，国乒教练邱贻可向媒体宣布坏消息，邱贻可表示，目前世界冠军朱雨玲仍有伤在身，还在外地进行紧急医学治疗，能否出战接下来的比赛还需听从医生的建议。"

He's not playing Men's Doubles with XX - they are from different provincial teams. ML pairing with Wang Chuqin to represent Beijing. Only cross-provincial pairing allowed is Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen.

Seems like no one can match up to Mizutani-senpai so Ito is not playing XD for the upcoming WTTC? Sources point to Hariyata and Udabata? Sato/Hashimoto: just because DN has retired doesn't mean that you shouldn't send choppers for WS! CNT could very well select CXT or WYD!

Was Togami the one who partnered Maharu Yoshimura during ATTC two years ago? I remember he was quite good?

Ooh, Shibata beat Kihara? That's surprising.

o_O I heard the head coaches for both the men and women's teams on the Japanese side are leaving (quitting + retiring)?

After winning WS Gold, CM said her era is finally here (我的时代到来了). In a subsequent interview, LGL said that CM is still a junior player (小将), and that it's too early for her to be called the leading lady (领军人物). He then elaborated that previous winners had to win numerous World titles before...

Oh, seems like Mizutani has officially announced his retirement. Wells, never really liked him but he did really well during the XD finals so congratulations to him and he should be remembered as one of the best Japanese players in history. Really took on the senpai mantle for his concluding act...

Faints. Ishikawa bigger burden than CM.

Weeeeee, is it laughable for me to say that I have high hopes for Ishirano tomorrow? Assuming CM plays doubles that is, not insinuating anything here... heh.

Seems like CM needs to thank Zhang Mo for getting rid of Petrissa Solja for WS.
