Pity. The Yoshikawa XD pair is a strong contender and I think Maharu is a good sport (from the various matches and post-game interviews).

First Stage: 2 to 3 July 2019 | Main Event: 4 to 7 July 2019 - ML and FZD in the same half again (not same quarter!) - Can Falck regain the promise shown during the WTTC two months ago? - Unfortunate for the host nation but Jeong & Jang will likely meet during the round of 16 - Repeat of...

So I guess the victor between Boll and Tomislav will probably go on to clinch the entire tournament?

Well, T2 Diamond just announced the following additions: Liu Shiwen

If DN and ZYL are the only ones attending, I can see how the organisers have to scramble to make up the remaining slots. After all, Chinese women occupied 9 out of the top 15 World Tour list. Szocs and Bernadette were actually 17th and 18th respectively. Hmm.

I think Singles will be Solja (WR#26) & Han Ying (WR#50). The former has the best overall ability as proven by her win at the latest Europe Top 16 Cup while the latter because choppers still pose a threat to even some of the top players. Third member for team probably Winter (#65). Shan...

There is less room for discussion because the Japanese has laid out some clear guidelines for its Olympics candidates, namely that the top two highest ranked players will participate in the Singles event while the third member joining the Team will be recommended by the JTTA. At the moment, it...

Ma Long and Liu Shiwen will 100% be going to Tokyo 2020 but only the former is 100% getting a Singles ticket (unless his injury acts up) while the latter's chances are about 80-90% (up in the air until she confirms that she can effectively defeat Ito and Hayata; Ishikawa and Hirano have never...

I will agree with you but I also sometimes wonder why FZD gets so much trust? Technically, he only has the World Cup to his name out of the three TT 'holy trinity', which also happens to be the 'lowest-ranked' among the trio. Likewise, WR#1 seems to be a mere reference for the CNT (LSW is a good...

After seeing LSW successfully fend off her pre-WTTC fate of being the third Olympics player at best, maybe XX felt inspired? "I'm not just a Doubles specialist, I can be awesome at Singles too!" Also, everyone thought it would depend on FZD's performance to determine if LGY will become the new...

Yeah, repeat of WTTC 2019 Women's Singles Finals. Not sure why but CM flailed at that too.

Or, "Should I let LGY be WR#1? Nah, go ahead FZD and retain your title."

Your idol will be perfect for this. A new calling for her.

Being tall helps a little as well. Also, he won FZD on the two occasions they met on CTTSL so maybe it's whether FZD can be him.

Uh, how did FatDing (WTTC Bronze Medalist) lose while XuLing advance? But I think Japan will take the finals.

I have to agree on this. Watched the highlights and Hayata had a lot of variations that made it extremely difficult for CM to decipher at split seconds what spin was put on the ball (and thus how/what to return), which was particularly pronounced when receiving the Japanese youngster's services...

Seems like she's going to the SF. Miu does q well against choppers if I rmb it right. Then she will face her idol XD

Pity. The Monkey King was showing signs of tremendous improvement.

If Nagasaki plays the way she did (i.e. how a left-handed player should), not sure if Hirano can win? Also at the rate things are going, Chinese women might occupy quarters 2 (Liu Fei vs Liu Shiwen), 3 (Sun Yingsha vs Wang Manyu/Chen Xingtong) and 4 (Gu Yuting/He Zhuojia vs Chen Meng) :confused:

Lol so CM and LSW are denied their chances of meeting Ito again? They need to cross paths to prove that they are the best CNT candidates for Olympics 2020 Singles event. Seems like Hayata will soon overtake Ito as the next biggest threat.
