Yeah, but that was switching between the male and female teams' coaches right. I believe the preliminary pairings that you have mentioned in the previous post are meant to last? As a fan, I would be happy if LSW does pair with ML. Even if she does not make it to the top eventually, having...

Does that mean.. ZYL chose Qiu over Li Sun? :eek:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzUZzpAeAu4&t=230s Sorry that I didn't provide any translations but basically Chen Meng acknowledged (in the above interview) that the change to bigger plastic balls in recent years did work in her favour (or her style of play) to a certain extent. I don't quite...

Now now, let's focus our sights on the next tournament! https://www.ittf.com/tournament/2953/2019/2019-ittf-world-tour-hungarian-open/ I guess Japan hasn't decided who they want to send (if at all).

Ah. I think Hina Hayata will likely replace Ishikawa some time (or Miu if she doesn't pick up soon). Unfortunately for Ishikawa, Hayata is a left-hander too and has proven to be relatively successful in the Doubles event although her Singles results leave much to be desired. Shibata is well...

Second this. CM and HZJ did clash once earlier this year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWCVDCNiqnY&t=671s). Hopefully her improvements over the past 11 months would allow her to win!

Oh wow. This is kind of sad and very utilitarian although I'm a little surprised. I will agree that Ito's threat to the CNT is the highest among the current Japanese team while Miu has had her share of glory in 2017 but Kasumi is easily the most stable female Japanese player albeit she has never...

Basically all the top 2 seeds are out (FZD, XX, WMY). From the current looks of the match, Kasumi will be next ^^"

Hugo does it!

Harimoto will be crushed that he may be playing Hugo instead of FZD ^^ On a side note (or trying to find excuses), are the QF and Round of 16 games held at different venues? I feel like some players are not reading the spin as well as they usually do possibly due to air currents?

Seems like ZYL is playing much more aggressively and more precise with her third balls after the humiliating defeat in Sweden ^^" LSW was probably just unlucky and made preparations for the ZYL of the yesteryear. Clearly, I'm a LSW fan ~

That basically means he gave the match up but for non-medical/physical reasons?

Is Liu Dingshuo injured or something? What does RET mean? http://results.ittf.bornan.net/ittf-web-results/html/TTE2825/results_2018-12-14.html

Based on the rankings, I believe the order of play will be as follows: Women's Singles 1st Half 101 Wang Manyu 114 Sun Yingsha 116 Shibata Saki 108 Suh Hyowon 105 Ding Ning 112 He Zhuojia 113 Hirano Miu 103 Liu Shiwen 2nd Half 104 Ito Mima 109 Cheng I-Ching 110 Chen Xingtong...

And all is set in stone with Liam Pitchford losing the semi-final match, finishing at 337 points (136 + 200) just 26 points short of Timo :rolleyes:.

CM was quite on form against LSW earlier on although I feel that LSW wasn't really playing to win. Maybe to reserve some energy for what would be a confirmed medal in the Mixed Doubles and/or fatigue (she kept massaging her arm) – evidently I'm a LSW fan here haha :rolleyes:. Unfortunately, the...

Actually, I think he barely made it. He had 263 points before Austria Open and getting to QF gets him 100 points so he currently has 363 points. Niwa Koki was the 16th player (last on the list to qualify for Grand Finals) before Austria Open with 288 points but he also made QF so he is assured...
