ZYL 1-2 down against Nagasaki and seems to be on the verge of trailing 1-3?

Women's Main Draw 1st Quarter – DN or ZYL should take this 2nd Quarter – LSW's world? 3rd Quarter – Sucks to be Ishikawa. CNT's strongest new-generation players (WMY, CXT, SYS) & chopper (WY) and her own prodigious junior (Kihara) are all here. 4th Quarter – Tough draw for Ito (CM...

Not for long. Her first opponent is Liu Shiwen.

:p She's supposed to be SG's third best female paddler LOL ~ I guess being from Beijing Team doesn't mean much now.

1) 龙队 – "Captain Long/Dragon" which as everyone knows is because his first name means dragon in Chinese 2) 全满贯 – Full Slammer which ranks above even Grand Slammers. Basically, players of this epithet is said to have won every Singles event there is out there beyond the holy trinity (WTTC...

Also, he mentioned Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu. A glaring omission there?

Queen of Hearts. The Dark Knight. :confused::confused:

Quick thoughts - Potential CM vs Ito unless the tactics (serve long + barrages of underspin during rallies) executed by WYD continues to be effective and the Japanese superstar gets eliminated before that - Most unlucky player awarded to CXT again, she either gets CM or WMY during draws - If...

Yeah I think so too. Her full abilities are only unleashed against the likes of DN, LSW, ZYL, WMY and SYS (CM I'm assuming if they meet).

I'm most interested in seeing the doubles events because the Singles events haven't been met with much surprises thus far. Mixed Doubles - Will XX experience another XD loss? His partner this time has been changed to Zhu Yuling who isn't considered a doubles specialist (although she did...

Good effort from Polcanova! She scored 38 more points against Ito than ZYL did in Swedish Open 2018.

:eek:

Is this Feng Yalan and Mu Zi's retirement Open?

I actually hope to see Ma Te/Wu Yang progress to at least to the SF for XD. Filus/Han Ying is all right but nowhere near MT/WY's level IMO.

Due to budgetary restrictions, the organisers of HK Open were very strict and mainly allowed only 6 players per association for the Singles events. Of course, which 6 to remain is the respective association's decision. I guess Yang has fallen out of favour then?

I wonder if there is anywhere on the ITTF website that shows the full World Tour titles tally for all players?

Regardless of whether CM wins (which looks like she is going to), I think she's gonna be WR#1 tomorrow?

Not a bad strategy. She gains 115 more points doing so, since she got eliminated at the round of 16 last year. On a side note, WMY was quite lucky today even though she performed well in general. Her spin game was strong, receives were mostly good and her long limbs afforded her a fair amount...

Yes, I mean she did say during one of the earlier interviews that she wishes to meet Ito to ascertain if the Japanese player is as strong as everyone made her out to be. But ZYL also said the same uh. Looking forward to new clip from you if that ever happens – "Thank you for the freebie" and...

At the end of the day, DN lacks kill shots and speed so she is unable to replicate SYS's tactics. She does very well at varying the pace, slowing the rallies and hitting wide angles to throw off Ito but at crucial moments her FH just doesn't suffice and she doesn't use her left-handed BH well...
