He reached the final last year, at the same venue in Vegas, losing only to Kanak Jha

Tianrui Zhang lost to Andrew Cao just a round after beating Ma Jinbao. This is similar to what happened at the LA Open a few months ago, where he lost right after beating Koki Niwa.

Earlier this year, Diego Schaaf posted videos of past US Open matches, when the world's best players attended. 2000 was my first time going, and when all the top players were there, probably to prepare (and try to get their rankings up) for the Olympics a few months later. Here are some of...

On the women's side, the top players are Lily Zhang and Mo Zhang. Last year's champion Guo Yan is also here - she beat Nina Mittelham, Amy Wang, and Asuka Sasao last time. On the draw on Omnipong, the ones with a listed rating over 3000 have a top 100 world ranking used for seeding. Edward Ly...

Yup, it's quite fun. You can go for the big prize and play against opponents from all around the world. Vegas is fun too, not as hot at that time of the year as during the summer (if the US Smash will continue being there - I saw a RedNote post about WTT looking for a host city) and hotels are...

I played against Nie in the MS RR last year but couldn't give him much of a match. There was a 2000 player in the group who did win a game against him. He was ranked around 500th in the world at the time and I see he's now at 259, with most of his points from Feeder and Youth Contender...

Ma reached the finals the last 2 years, winning in 2023. He also reached the semifinals in 2022, making it 3 years in a row of doing so, until this year.

4th time is the charm for Tomo at the WTT Finals final

Koki Niwa went 0-9 in games in singles & doubles in the first 2 matches in LA (taking place in Little Tokyo). Haeeun Choi went 0-6. Their teammates picked them up though, in today’s NY vs Atlanta match.

Ma Jinbao won 7 points in a row after being down 2-10 but then Pistej did a pancake flip serve return winner to sweep

Lashin with a sweep of Duran At the start of Florida vs Bay Area, Asuka Sakai swept Ma Jinbao. chopper Angela Guan is playing this weekend as a substitute for Florida. Romain Lorentz used a long pips racket to give Mati Ekholm practice against chops. Senura Silva provided chops for Lily.

2 new teams were added for Season 3, so now there are 10 teams. There is a home team for each weekend, and they play the last (2nd) match each day. The home team is the one from the city or metropolitan area of the hosting venue. I think the match weekends are scheduled so that each team has at...

Blazers get their first win and it’s at home. Suzi Battison finally gets a post-match interview.

Princeton won the golden game after losing the team match to Chicago. Also, they were a point away from having their 2nd ultimate golden point of the weekend. Blazers vs Blasters starting soon. Last chance for the Blazers to get their first-ever win while at home.

I wonder if sleeveless shirts is something Butterfly has in the works for mass production, or if it’s something they’re trying out, or a customization just for MLTT. A few women in MLTT have worn shirts with sleeves. I don’t if that was by their choice or just what was available. I can think of...

Blasters got blasted by Princeton Revolution lol, 17-4. Lily got half the team’s points. Lashin got the other half, winning 2 of 3 vs Olah. The golden game came down to an ultimate golden point, which Olah won vs Kim (who is coming off an injury). The Blasters did win 5 points in a row (matching...

Oh, I didn’t notice that it was the entire match lol
