He revealed in an interview that he is injured, which is why his win against Lin Gaoyuan was a surprise for many.

Any link to where the match is being broadcasted?

CNT has five spots. The fact that ZYL bested WMY and SMY while LSW lost to SMY (who uses short pimples like Ito) seem to suggest that the former has a confirmed spot. But objectively since WTTC is an international event, LSW not doing well during internal trials may not be such a huge factor...

Well, congratulations to Chen Xingtong for securing her first win. Against Zhu Yuling no less.

As much as I don't want to admit as a LSW fan, SYS played a lot better earlier on. She was more aggressive, stable and speedier (gasp).

This thread is quite recent so probably still true: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?17014-Liu-shiwen-new-blade unless she's using Double Fish blades to support her new sponsor (but unlikely). Speaking of, another challenging day ahead for LSW. Sun Yingsha, Wu Yang and...

Not sure if she will rise to the top again but as a LSW fan, I am just glad she has someone whom she trusts and who also trusts her to guide her. Her greatest chances for Tokyo 2020 currently lie in Mixed Doubles and the Team event only. Ma Lin revealed in a recent interview that LSW's form has...

It's actually a 'known secret' that Xiao Zhan only cares about Wang Manyu and spends all his efforts on her, almost like he's trying to create a female Zhang Jike 2.0. XZ followed WMY around during the recently concluded Chinese Table Tennis Super League even though he doesn't have to while LSW...

Many still subscribe to the gender norm that household and/or childcare responsibilities should fall upon the shoulders of the women after marriage (which is perfectly fine if they are enjoying themselves), hence less time for other commitments. Or they could be contributing to TT in other ways...

Also, it was reported that Vicky Eleftheriade, Competitor Director of ITTF, has been invited (she will actually be in Shenzhen) by the CNT to give pointers on the way Marvellous 12 is run (e.g. referee-ing, logistics, administrative procedures etc.) and act as an arbitrator if need be. The...

Be that as it may (objectively he has still made it to the QF/SFs so it's really not that bad; pales in comparison only relative to his past performance), he is surely still a prime candidate? My prediction is Liang Jingkun, Fan Zhendong/Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Fang Bo, Zhao Zihao, Yu...

Upon deliberation among the newly minted Chinese coaching group, it was decided that Marvellous 12 will determine two spots instead of just one for the upcoming WTTC 2019. This means that the runner-up will also receive an entry ticket to the Singles event. Based on recent performances, Chen...

Agree with you on Spain Open. Not a fan of Kato Miyu though. The newly introduced Challenge Plus does indeed seem to be drawing a good number of higher-ranked players. As for Oman Open, I actually hope Miu Hirano will emerge victorious. Amidst her rather disastrous record in 2018, she renewed...

Thanks. You're literally a walking TT repository.

First Stage: 26 to 27 Mar 2019 | Main Event: 28 to 31 Mar 2019, Doha, Qatar Men's Singles Seeding List 1) Xu Xin 2) Lin Gaoyuan 3) Harimoto Tomokazu 4) Timo Boll 5) Hugo Calderano 6) Lee Sangsu 7) Wong Chun Ting 8) Niwa Koki 9) Mizutani Jun 10) Jang Woojin 11) Ma Long 12) Mattias Falck 13)...

I think it's safe to assume so. Talks of his return have been just that, talks (apart from his brief reappearance on the world tour early last year). On a side note, the venue (Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre) for Marvellous 12 and associated WTTC training is all set up – 33 tables and 320...

Full schedule is out: Things to look out for: 1) Watershed moment for Liu Shiwen In the previous internal trials (2017), Liu Shiwen topped the charts with 11 wins and zero losses. Can she replicate that miraculous success again this year? Particularly after her bitter loss to Hina Hayata...
