List of Teams & Their Players are out – https://www.sohu.com/a/421971318_580074?scm=1002.27140046.0.SHARINGAN_SPORTS&spm=smpc.fb-pingpong-home.fd-news.1.16014763015666ts0g9h. Men's Team Beijing team (Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Yan An) seems rather OP, with perhaps only Shandong (Yu Ziyang, Liu...

CM: Screw you Stiga for the Carbonado 45 (Zhu Yuling) Blade. Hello, Viscaria.

我唔明白 :(

Putting aside the questionable way CM was woven in the WWC, this tournament is as high-pressured as it gets for her so the possibility of implosion is definitely on the table. Aside from the one opponent that she absolutely cannot afford to lose to (considering that her 100% winning record...

Wells, LSW has formally withdrawn from the WWC, replaced by Chen Meng (or Suh Hyowon) despite not appearing in the list of reserve players. Nonetheless, will the WR#1 finally win her first Major Singles title or will teammate killer ZYL pull one over CM again. Personally, I would like to see Ito...

As much as the coaches would want (?) to include DN, I feel that she should either play Singles (buffered by her playing style) or none at all (yes not even reserve as you have mentioned), although the former option is diminishing by the day. Her doubles skills are honestly nothing to boast...

CM: I'm still the leading lady in the poster. ZYL: I'm back to take out my Olympics hopeful teammates. OTOH, LSW has pulled out of the Grand Finals, although her replacement is neither DN (WR#6) or ZYL (WR#7) but WYD (WR#12). Considering ZYL is not playing too, then it seems fair to surmise...

CTTA: How do we test out this new Olympic centre and show the world that we're the prime candidate to resume international events? Right, let's host the National Championships here! CM: Will 2020 finally be my year? WYD: No, it's mine.

Wells, unfortunately for them. Seems like Harimoto, Ito, Niwa and Ishikawa are all participating so, no room for a third spot.

What are the chances of Franziska participating should his German compatriots withdraw? Hmm. Karlsson, Gauzy and Freitas should be playing in the German League too right. Let's work towards making World Cup Asian Cup ~

Rumours has it that there will be other events held in November, namely a WTT promotional tournament between 25th to 29th in Macau... Not sure who's gonna participate though.

Is that why ML (and FZD) was missing from the team event earlier this week? CM and SYS were present though, so I guess we will see ZYL at the WWC? Rumours seem to suggest Weihai in Shandong, possibly at the newly-launched Olympics Centre?

Lol. Wasn't JTTA also the one who suggested all the changes (size and material) to the ball? Actually, is there consensus over what counts as "near vertical" tosses? I can't find any specifics in the ITTF handbook but the TTR/Hawk-eye technology seems to classify tosses within 30 degrees as legal?

Timo and several European players seem to be against reinstating international events (https://www.sport1.de/tischtennis/2020/09/tischtennis-timo-boll-und-dimitrij-ovtcharov-boykottieren-restart). I don't understand German but it seems like the following are the four main points raised in the...

Who needs a forehand drive if a slappy forehand is equally fatal.

That would indeed be great – since they are the top 2 seeds – but LSW hasn't rejoined the team, at least that is how it seems according to her weibo post on 29 August wherein she was alone with the physiotherapist. Her name was also noticeably missing (alongside DN and ZYL) from the list of...

Would love to see LSW play but that's unlikely? Well, I hope Ito takes down whoever China sends in her stead then. Also can't help but think that the mock Olympics was just CNT/CTTA making sure that they could manage a big event in the midst of a pandemic. Lol.

2020 has been the most challenging year in living memory, as the COVID-19 pandemic brought the international table tennis event calendar to a grinding halt early in the year. Many players, coaches and fans were confined to their homes or their local communities, unable to play or watch their...

Is that why she was classified as "T-League representative" instead? Because she's the ZYL of the Japanese women. Also, I've noticed that you translated "日本代表男/女子" as "Japan's representatives" while apacible chose "Japan's WTTC M/F Representatives". Hmm? If it's indeed referring to Japan's...

So, I guess after Ishikawa senpai retires, the favourites for Paris 2024 will be Ito, Hirano, Hayata and Nagasaki?
