Basically in the title. Most of my training involves 1-1 sessions around 3-4 times a week with friends of similar levels and we'll attempt to do drills for about 1.5 hours before moving onto a practice match. I get matchplay practice with other players about twice a week at different clubs...

Miwa v. Szocs and Hirano v. Chen Meng in R16 Winners meet in Quarterfinals Wang Yidi v. Yang Xiaoxin and Ito v. SYB in R16 Winners also meet in Quarters. In the same quarter, Kihara and Nagasaki to meet in R64. Winners meet SYB in R32.

She used to be absolutely terrified of choppers too. Not exactly the same playstyle but between beating Yang Xiaoxin at SS and now Mukherjee, it seems like she may have even levelled up from her pre-pregnancy form.

Players being incentivised to lose is a good thing for our sport? 🤔 Malicious compliance should be encouraged and everyone else should just shove it even if it means risking their health/livelihood? 🤔🤔🤔 Being a professional athlete is hard enough without out-of-touch executives making brainless...

Can you legally win a point with a serve like that? Asking for a friend.

Hayata 6 Shin Yubin 7 Miwa 8 Ito 11 Hirano 13 Miwa moves into the top 10 for the first time in her career. Ito out of top 10 again. Hirano stays at 13 but gains 200+ points, just 19 points behind Cheng I-Ching who also had a quarterfinal finish in the world cup. Current Olympic Seeding: 1. SYS...

Hirano just can't turn it on in time

Semifinal at the first ever World Cup outing for Miwa in what was supposed to be a R16 exit on paper. Not bad at all.

ITTF decided to remove the women's stream last minute?

Adriana beat Miwa just 6 months ago in Contender Muscat 2023.

Hirano should have started screaming from game 1. Jeon is not the player she used to be. Don't underestimate a wounded veteran who has nothing left to lose.

Sleepirano saved from Jeonricanne by two net cords at 8-10 down in the third, for now. She has the quality to match Jeon in the rallies but needs to keep her serves tighter, and wake up lol.

Jeon Jihee looks like she's playing on a whole other level. Still in her Ito-beating form.

I'm not underplaying it. It's an achievement, but also the baseline to make the Olympic team that Ito has not met. Kihara is definitely the more suitable for the P card.

Miwa joins the 'I've beaten WYD this cycle' club along with Hayata, Kihara, and Hirano. Rewarded with quite an open path to semifinals.

Are there 3rd-4th playoffs for this tournament or have they scrapped that too?

Ito smashes herself out of contention as usual. She hasn't learned to rally at all even after four years. Miwa gets a crack at Wang Yidi to possibly prove her naysayers and whitehead's lineup wrong. Hirano gets a chance to avenge her loss to Jeon Jihee at Asian Games 2022/3. If she's...

A step in the right direction, considering their track record. But still feels slimey considering they only posted a reply on Jonathan's page and nothing on their main Instagram page.

ITTF/WTT should just admit they can't do math/administration/PR and keep things simple. I'm all for innovation, but this could have been easily prevented by sticking to the rules or going by game ratios only and implementing a sudden death game like T-League's victory match in event of a tie...

Miu Hirano 3-1 Yuan Jia Nan
