As in title. I play close to the table and I'm finding that my backhand shots with G1 on Viscaria lack power. Part of that is technique which I've been working on but when I borrow my friend's Dignics rackets the difference is immediately noticeable. I'm still not ready to commit to Dignics...

Ito beat reigning world champion Ding Ning during the Rio cycle and was selected for the third spot. Hayata beat would be world champion Liu Shiwen in the Tokyo cycle and was denied a rightful third spot. As impressive as Miwa is, she has only beaten Qian Tianyi and I don't think she has...

Is Hirano in or out of WTT finals? The race to finals page has her listed as 16th.

Chen Xingtong gets another shot at Batra later today

First Non-Chinese women's singles finalist at the Asian Games since Chire Koyama in 1994? That's nearly 3 decades ago. Fukuhara came close in 2010 but didn't have the grit to close out Guo Yue. Can Hayata lay claim to the Japan No.1 title now? Japanese media has already given her the 'Ace' title.

Terrible result for Hirano. She now has 430 points, 21.5 ahead of Ito's 409.5 which can be wiped out if Ito finished 3 places ahead of her at the 6th Road to Paris Selection Tournament. But Hirano won't just want to maintain her lead, but broaden it as much as possible because things will get...

I would have put Harimoto or Hirano in position 1 and Hayata in position 3. Japan always goes with the obvious lineup which leaves their players as sitting ducks against a well-prepared chinese opposition.

They were going to lose badly anyway. Chen Meng has struggled against choppers as well (see vs Han Ying 2020) and more recently Suh Hyo Won gave SYS a good fight at some WTT event that I can't be bothered to look up. Point is, Japan needs that confidence boost, and Ito's performance is doing the...

Comments on the Terebi Tokyo channel are saying that Sato should have been chosen to target CXT. Although the chances of CXT being selected were low for the reasons Zeio mentioned, Sato would also have been a good matchup against WYD. But even if China had chosen WMY, Japanese netizens were...

That's her main problem. She still positions herself above her peers and international competitors even though it's apparent that the rest of the world has caught up. The Chinese always place themselves in the challengers position when competiting against main threats, even though they are...

There's really nothing much separating the girls from positions 2-8. A win and an early knockout could send them shooting up or tumbling down the rankings either way. I must say that Ito is just a mere shadow of her former self. Looking at the way she played against Nagasaki in 2021 vs now, it's...

Can somebody PLEASE upload yuan jia nan vs Mima ito. Screw ITTF for geoblocking the tables 😡

Sun Yingsha the new Miss No.2? She has the full collection now

Rooting for King Bee Truls Moregard!

Too easy for the Chinese. Even Mima didn't look threatening. Women's side disappoints once again. At least Suh Hyowon redeemed herself and basically gave the finger to KNT with her run.

Hirano's chiquita only gives Cheng Meng a chance to attack

Hirano should change her nickname to Voltorb

Umpires waving their hands about right before the point at 10-8 for cic and cxt Super distracting and unprofessional. Cheng took a timeout right after

Actually Ito's record at WTTC is fine. She has only been eliminated by Chinese players since 2015.

Sees Shin Yubin vs Sarah De Nutte on Table 5 "no problem for Shin" *checks in later* Shin 0 Sarah 2 Shin out
