Another off-topic response but kudos to Gu Yuting for being the only one to break into M12 again on her own merit, albeit her dismal results at the end. I discount DN, LSW, CM, ZYL, WY, WMY because they were pre-selected.

Off-topic but good female penholders are almost extinct following Li Jiao's retirement. Only Shan Xiaona remains? As far as I can remember.

I thought this was too good to pass. In a nutshell, CM got pissed after losing to WMY in the Asian Games Singles Finals (the former was leading 3 games to 1) so she got a new phone cover to remind herself to be more ruthless. Since then, CM has only fallen to WMY once (during CTTSL finals)...

Also because she's learning some new tricks from Ma Lin, particularly now that there are younger players who are faster than her so it's not just about speed now. Although she did not maintain this strategy throughout (which was odd), her last five points in game 3 of Marvellous 12 against SYS...

Wow so Kasumi lost her form so soon? I thought she had just won Japan Top 12. Mm.

Yeah the six core female players (DN, LSW, CM, WMY, ZYL and SYS) going for WTTC 2019 are all training with as well as being pitted against members of the male team. From what I know, only LSW emerged victorious over Xu Yingbin while her other five colleagues all fell to their opponents (but I...

Yup, you read it right When LSW was interviewed, she talked about how it requires a lot of focus and self-discipline when playing against male players because the shots are of higher calibre (greater speed, spin etc.) which will likely boost training results. She also revealed getting all...

Oops just realised that someone else had posted the above pictures. According to Weibo, some practice matches took place during the closed-door camp as well. Matches that I know of are as follows: 1) Ding Ning/Fan Zhendong 3:0 Fang Bo/Zhu Linfeng 2) Ma Long/Wang Chuqin 1:3 Zhang Yudong/Sun...

As per the closed-door camp tradition, the CNT always puts up posters of the players who pose the greatest threat to them for the upcoming WTTC in the training hall. Below are this year's: Third-Tier Male Players (top left to bottom right) Franziska Patrick, Kristian Karlsson, Mattias Falck...

After the annual pre-WTTC closed-door training camp (happening right now), a mock rumble (dubbed the 'warm-up competition 热身赛') will also be held to assess the progress of the players. This year, the matches will be held between 4th April to 6th April and I believe this will probably determine...

Basically, kenta matsudaira, yoshimura maharu and ueda jin have been relegated?

Sun Mingyang will be an important practice partner. Haha. Her presence lingers over Budapest in an oddly ghastly manner. HZJ is only a threat to people who are not her teammates.

So CNT decided to adhere to the ranking for WTTC2019 except for one person. Female singles: DN, LSW, CM, WMY, SYS. Male singles: ML, FZD, XX, LJK, LGY.

Hashimoto has some biophysical advantages too, like her longer arm span (i.e. wider coverage), but she also possesses a stronger will to attack when necessary. Fielding a chopper is tactically smart because many of the top Chinese women are ironically having trouble with this style of play (e.g...

LSW only regained confidence and 'woke up' on the last day. DN's defence could not withstand 4 days of intense smashes, flicks etc. consistently. ZYL's amorphous taichi play was always 50-50.

I guess it's like how Ding Ning went all out to defeat Chen Meng to remind everyone that she is team leader and WR#1. Probably the same motivation for Ishikawa.

Poor SYS. She really didn't get a confirmed singles slot during the ceremony. I guess it will continue to be Ding, Liu, Zhu, Chen and Wang.

True that '名额' just means 'a slot' but seems anti-climactic to not mean the singles. All that trouble, only to get a WD/XD placing will be highly demoralising :confused:

Although the last match is still ongoing, the women's ranking has been decided. For convenience's sake, I will just list it here. 1) Chen Meng 2) Sun Yingsha 3) Ding Ning 4) Wang Manyu (LOL) 5) Liu Shiwen 6) Zhu Yuling 7) Wang Yidi 8) Chen Xingtong 9) Sun Mingyang 10) Wu Yang 11) He Zhuojia...
