Hayata is sowing the seeds of her destruction. Overhitting, not moving or creating angles, not accepting that her opponent is playing better and that the match has changed...

I know infallible people consider asking questions to be "ridiculing" but you can ask ChatGPT if that is the only way to interpret such statements. I ask questions to understand what is really driving the thought process because if someone really believes you can't compare across eras, can...

Even Jordan doesn't call himself the GOAT. ML not accepting the title is the usual modesty of anyone not named Muhammed Ali. Rules change, times change, contexts change, so you are usually the greatest of your era.

Keeping contact closer to the body enables you to swing into the shot with the body and to lean over the ball to swing with more power. You still have room for more power with more lean so you can backswing more towards yourself but the new shot is definitely an improvement.

What does @pongfugrasshopper have to do with the JPN? Remind me of the details I missed....

Unfortunately, Honoka has the worst draw possible with Mima Ito. Wishing her the best but not holding my breath.

It is really crazy, how did she lose to someone only good for doubles? Up 2-0 too...

Honoka Hashimoto unites the forum - with all the divisive arguments over players on the JNT, even Tieba users admit Honoka is good for TT (though I suspect some might make it about Wang Yidi...)

Why so serious 🤡?

"Only Good for Doubles" enters the Avatar state and wins the final game 11-5. Very overrated.

"Only Good for Doubles" refuses to accept her name and rather than lose 0-3, comes back to take it to the 5th... stay tuned...

"Only Good for Doubles" vs the Japanese Pocket Rocket. Wonder who will win... (don't let the names fool you).

Hayata the blocker again...

It is always unfortunate when the players pretend that the umpire is the first person to tell them their serves have issues,

Yeah, somehow that skipped my mind when I looked at their head to head. But it was long enough ago that I forgave myself. And it only got worse after that.

Well, I have always found Lebrun's tosses dubious, but like you said, in the absence of TTR, those calls can be brutal.

Sora spoke!

She played Han Ying for the first time at the German Open in 2014/2015 that Mima won in diapers. Han Ying won the first 3 games to go up 3-0, then Mima came back to win 4-3. She has never lost to Han Ying since, it is the most boring matchup in all of table tennis. Even matchups like Ma Long...

That's how Western arrogance starts. Then in a couple of years, they have built better submarines and planes than you can imagine.

Sun Yingsha has looked wrong throughout this event. And after Wang Manyu bowed out, there was really no pressure to perform anymore, let someone else take the stress of defending China lol.
