My point is that Chinese always felt that Harimoto was limited even when he played against them because he had technical issues - he often had issues even with weaker players before then. While Miwa lost to Bajor and Chasselin (in close matches for the record), one doesn't get the same feeling...

There were always inconsistency issues because of his forehand, he had losses to players that did not always make sense given his ranking. Let's remember he lost to An Jaehyun in 2019 WTTC. And even before that, he had struggles against players like Pitchford and Calderano in the teams...

That's not my understanding at all, and if you really want to talk about most achieved in terms of numbers, just draw up a medals table and discuss your statements using it to note achievements. If you don't do that and claim to be talking about purely most achieved, you are being a bit...

No one is degrading anything, if one compares things and feels one is better than another, then that is their feeling, there is nothing degrading about it. I mean are you not the one claiming someone is ahead? The question is first and foremost, what are the player's achievements and given...

What happened to Liao Cheng Ting? He just never plays at the level I thought he would...

Exhibit A for people who talk about how grip is so important in table tennis... don't get me wrong, it is a good grip, but I am sure the coaches who worked with her just had to figure it out as they went along.

You do realize that Ito played in 2016 World Cup right? And that the way the World cup works, one has to be in top 2 ranked players from a country to have a chance and then get selected by the association. So no, Ito didn't get a WC bronze on her first try.

How does one get into the World Cup in modern times and how often has the event been held since Hayata's ranking and play started qualifying her for it? If you remember and note the answer to that, you would come to a more nuanced assessment of what is happening. It's like downgrading Deng...

As zeio pointed out, FTW was the original top non-CNT player before Hirano, and Hirano beat her every time on her way to those achievements and Hirano also beat Ito and CIC on the way to the World Cup. So it isn't that simple. The main thing here is to not ignore the nuances or to think other...

Hashimoto and Sato deserve their own award for Japan. but that is another story. Even when Japanese men need to play choppers in MS, Sato and Hashimoto are on duty.

I think a nuanced view of the issue can lead to multiple reasonable conclusions, but I am not sure how Hayata's achievements were easier or harder to obtain. It's really funny that you credit Ito with two silvers in WTTC in doubles and forget who her partner was for those silvers. The nuanced...

Odo bullied the poor Chinese chopper... there was one point that after a power loop and a chop return, Odo's push multi-bounced on the table... the opponent was so shocked she needed a time out...

So on Sunday, Minor League TT begins in Allen, TX. We will see whether it is possible to start a culture of minor leagues associated with Major LTT in the USA. This league will be full and popping and streaming as well. Let's go! And if you see a guy with a large boot on right foot doing...

The two winged game is not something you just do, it is something that requires a lot of game evolution. In fact, many people with two winged games have a forehand focused game or a backhand focused game as well, games they play stronger out of against certain opponents or receives but which...

He has always had a chance, he counters extremely well and plays them well, he is still the underdog, but he always has a chance.

He knows, he is trying to be PC to the point of denying obvious statements.

Dang Qiu vs Kao Cheng Jui.... of course it is...

They have more in the pipeline per Tony, even if Feng doesn't get much better they will be fine.

Now if Wang wins, it will be an all China descendants semi-final lol.

It is really a reminder that Kiril is tough.
