  1. Czech Open 2019 (World Tour)

    I think Hayata will take this. Also, CXT falling to WY is very possible with her poor record against choppers. Perhaps two of the serious contenders for gold will be wiped out in the first round :D
  2. Czech Open 2019 (World Tour)

    Ishikawa is probably still a goner but I believe Ito's chances are still optimistically at 40-60 against CXT. Inevitably, her short pips set-up does bring about particular 'limitations' (e.g. not many recourses that enable her to play to her strengths when receiving long serves close to the...
  3. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Honestly I don't think Shin is a threat to Hayata, unless the latter lets herself down again by losing focus.
  4. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Suzhou 2015 WTTC Finals?
  5. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Lol. Host to Translator: You've beaten Dimitrij who is 11th in the world. Did you expect to win? Translator to ZZH: You played very beautifully today. Was it luck?
  6. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Exceeded expectations haha.
  7. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    The actual SGP-JPN match might not be that different.
  8. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Zeio must be having a field day right now.
  9. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    FSQ might become a second ZYL tomorrow against Ito.
  10. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Haha, Ito = harbinger of downfalls. LSW and CXT were the prelude and ZYL the main dish. Actually I think CXT just lacks a coach who is willing to dedicate time to her. Guo Yan (unless I'm wrong about the distribution) probably invests a lot more time in DN (for reasons beyond my comprehension).
  11. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    After some googling, I realised Abe (born in 1996) is older than Hirano?? She looks younger than 21y/o. Also according to TTF, her FH is the same inverted rubber as Ito and BH is long pips. On a side note as well, was Abe wearing a JNT jersey? Didn't see any Japanese flag symbol on it.
  12. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    o_O Who is Ari Abe? Her FH slaps are like Ito's but her BH... long pips? I cannot quite tell.
  13. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Zhu's FH seems mediocre. Failed to put away so many shots.
  14. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Ma Te & Wu Yang, such a refreshing pair. Chop chop chop. Bye Bye top seeds.
  15. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Haha I actually think Ishikawa did better when Qiu Jianxing coached her on court. I have never felt that Mika Baba was impressive?
  16. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    JNT/JTTA has an interesting obsession with world rankings, even though everyone knows it's more of a reference than anything. Not sure if funding Shibata Saki will accomplish anything, my personal opinion that is.
  17. ITTF-ATTU Asian Table Tennis Championships 2019

    China's line-up has been announced Men's Team: Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, (Wang Chuqin) Men's Singles: Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, (Sun Wen) Men's Doubles: Xu Xin/Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan/Liang Jingkun  Women's Team: Ding...
  18. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Not sure if this is supposed to mean anything but I read on a Chinese webpage that Hayata was not one of the 9 athletes (Ishikawa, Ito, Hirano, Sato, Shibata, Kato, Nagasaki, Kihara, Haruna Ojio) sponsored by JTTA for Bulgaria Open. While Japanese players paying for their own entries on the...
  19. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    For some reason, the scores are now reversed on ITTF. Apparently ZPF won.
  20. 2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

    Two CNT players in Hayata's group again – Feng Yalan and Zhang Qiang but those two are not particularly outstanding so there's hope for her ~ Over at the main draw, Ishikawa same quarter as He Zhuojia, Ito with teammate killer Kato and a huge challenge (but also opportunity) for Chen Xingtong to...
