And Felix beats Quadri 3‐0. So the one man who could have prevented Jorgic from winning Europe Top 16 was foiled by his brother. Great.

You can't make this stuff up. At the European top 16, Alexis beats Felix and loses to Truls. At Goa, Alexis loses to Quadri and Felix beats Truls. If Felix beats Quadri, it will beg the question of whether it is fair for Alexis to be playing his brother in events.

India tends to do a great job when hosting things like this, they invest the right team and money in TT production. I think we underestimate the contribution of the local organizers sometimes and overestimate the contribution of the WTT.

The injured Samsonov who beat Dima and then lost to ZJK and Mizutani. I guess there was a chance but it did not materialize. Even JYS troubled ML and had ZJK on the ropes in teams as well but ZJK showed that when there are stakes, he will throw the kitchen sink at you so there is always a...

there is an old school Japanese player (former world champion) that did this and Timo does for some shots. Not a big deal at all.

I hear you. But this was exactly how people felt about men's singles in 2016 with ZJK playing. We know how that turned out. But I hear you.

Those of us who watched Ito know why she was credited. People can rewrite the narratives now if they want to, but some of us remember clearly that one of the reasons why Chen Meng became an Olympic champion against the grain of prior selection strategies was that she didnt lose to Ito. Hirano...

So some of us remember that Zhu Yuling was the golden child and that she and Li Sun started having arguments after Mima beat her in tour matches, including one where she embarrassed the ambassador from China who wanted to present the trophy to a Chinese lady but had to present it to a Japanese...

Obviously, but still the fact remains that Ishikawa and Fukuhara didnt win anything before Ito did. I agree that Hirano and Hayata did harder things in one sense but Ito's uniqueness is what it is.

Given that she essentially drove Zhu Yuling and Ding Ning into early retirement, and also was in many ways the best player outside China for the last decade, it is a bit too one-sided to interpret her career this way. Because while we might like to pretend that only beating China matters, even...

It might be region restricted. Which means some company has the rights but isnt exercising them meaningfully in the US.

Looks like this doesn't have a thread yet. Also, WTT seems to be limiting table one streaming. Can't watch it on YouTube. Looks like Hugo and Quadri amongst other players will be unwatchable live.

Too much pressure on young players can be destructive.

This was pretty obvious throughout the tournament, much more counterlooping especially on forehand and less blocking. Like I said, he just needs to catch up to people who have been doing this for years, when and if that will happen is anyone's guess. But of course, until and when this...

While Hayata deserves her number one seeding, it would be a stronger team if she played doubles with Harimoto and left Hirano in singles. A doubles team without a lefty is a bit expensive.

Very unlikely he will be posting anything at mytt anytime soon. So enjoy!

The Canadian girls and boys do play on tour and in American/Panamerican events. Edward Ly was almost definitely one of them, this result is just a huge jump compared to the past.

Kanak plays on tour, no? Just about all the people that Edward beat in the tournament play league somewhere in Europe, I was really surprised that Edward beat some of those players - I was thinking it didn't add up but it was a great performance for a Canadian citizen not obviously imported...

USATT is similar to TTR + 300 to 400 points. Not a precise science but that helps. Canada (which is where the original video match is played) is a completely different animal.
