  1. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    That is what losing to a better player is generally like when the player is not in top form and it is common to focus on the score as an opportunity rather than the reliability of the patterns by which a player is winning points. Most of Xue Fei's best legit chances came when he opened with...

    Amazing match. Well played Wang and Winter.

  4. WTT Champions Japan 2025 - 7-11 Aug 2025

    Winter bringing the Akula template against Wang. Wang will have to figure out how to disrupt Winter or will pack her bags.

    He is not on Kallberg's level. To me it has been clear Kallberg has been distracted by things other than TT in recent months

    Where is Franziska these days?
  7. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    More slimy behavior again. Let's remember, Uda played this tournament and couldn't get a game off Calderano. This is what zeio wants us all to believe: 1) Duda today is playing at the same level today as he was in March when he lost to Uda (the same Duda by the way who at that time had never...

    Hindsight is always 20-20 and the expedite would argue you were right. It's getting to a point where Miwa will get so good it won't matter or Honoka will need to improve her offensive game which is already good but she just needs to get better so that expedite is not a problem.

    So close yet so far...
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Played an unrated tournament on Saturday. First round was a round robin of 4, I won the group and went into a single elimination. Only competitive match was against a kid that lost to last month (or I think really in June) partly because it was his hoke club and partly because in addition to...

    Hashimoto makes the semifinals. However she is going to have to beat two teammates to take the trophy unless Xheng performs a miraculous comeback. I suspect Miwa is already a bit too much so it is good to at least defend your seeding and draw placement.

    The slimy behavior continues. So since Uda is #40, how is he ahead of Togami? If this was the discussion, there was never any serious discussion to be had if we were just using the ranking list. Obviously Lebrun was hurt by going through a period of injury (admittedly self inflicted). But if...
  13. Prithika Pavade signs long-term sponsorship deal with GEWO

    I can tell you that Kanak has an influence on the Indian market simply because a lot of Indians are also Americans and vice versa. The ICC(guess what the I stands for) was/is one of the biggest training centers in the USA and while Kanak didn't train there, it was how Massimo got into the US...
  14. Prithika Pavade signs long-term sponsorship deal with GEWO

    With Aruna, it also came down to what his lawyer/agent was negotiating at that time for Nigeria. Quadri had already become a big brand regardless of ball, but Gewo needed him more and were willing to do more things for more people. I think the deal worked out for everyone. IMHO, the argument...
  15. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    My take is that Hwan Bae was actually the better player for most of the match and lost game 2 from 9-7 up allowing Yoshiyama to play quality shots. I am a bit disappointed in Yoshiyama's game, it seems he is a player who needs a cosch to play his best as he didn't really make good tactical...
  16. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    After you quote exactly where I said Duda wasn't improving. Show you understand English first.
  17. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    Continuing the slimy behavior and not addressing anything I wrote. Thanks for proving the point.

    WTF.,. need to find and watch this and see what happened....
  19. WTT Star Contender Foz do Iguaçu 2025 7/30-8/3

    Noting this here as a clear example of Zeio's inability to understand English or his willingness to lie about someone's position just to win arguments. Anyone can look over the internet for where or when I or anyone else said Duda wasn't improving when the context was whether Uda beating Duda...
  20. Prithika Pavade signs long-term sponsorship deal with GEWO

    TT profit is hard in general, but if you are taking a flier on any domestic talent, it is hard to do worse than Pavade. Her Indian heritage is mildly relevant here. And there will probably be caveats in the deal but the biggest thing is that she should be at least as valuable as Bernie and if...
