Well they will probably need to beat more than just Liam and Kou Lei next season :) Though I am very curious who is joining that will beat Pitchford without a problem - sounds like WR Top 25 level.

Ran some quick numbers on the current top 25 performers in the TTBL, who have at least a zero or positive +/- in games won/lost. Average age is right around 30 if rounding up, same as MLTT. Leading the way with +15 (16-1) is Dima at 36. Youngest are Ionescu and Kao at 20, oldest are Steger...

The average age of MLTT players excluding free agents from both Season 1 and Season 2 is right at 30 if you exclude two teenagers who are no longer getting actively rostered. Youngest is Adi Sareen at 16 and oldest is Jens at 45. While there are visible top players in the league who trend older...

Got it - so the vlog about the journey back is basically about getting back to playing the game enough to reach/maintain your old level?

I can...there definitely seems to be a longer trajectory and a bit of a stiffer or harder feel for SALC vs ALC.

What are your other motivations to fight back? Were you training a lot towards a goal before the elbow injury set you back?

Is he that random?

The blades are specially manufactured though in some cases. I know of pros who can and do get specific thicknesses and handle shapes to their preference which aren't the same as the market version, and allegedly there are certain batches of wood that they suspect are going to be more to the pros...

888's multimillionaire multibillionaire doesn't have interest in growing the sport in the US, it is just a pet project for the owners' son to try to achieve some dream.

Oh, Yoyo. He was brought on as a doubles specialist for Florida since they needed a lefty. He only played one singles match so far this season and lost 0-3 to Aida.

Who is the random dude who came over and was near 2700? Lin I-fan? He ended up around 2650 after the LA Open, first tournaments can often lead to a bit of overrating, after his second tournament he fell to 2600, which would put him probably outside the range, or on the edge at best, of being a...

Angles, Aida, Eugene, Ly, Provost, Cazacu, Lebesson, Pereira, Pitchford, Jishan, Kanamitsu, Olah, Kumar, Nordberg, Lundqvist, Haocheng Wang, Kou Lei, Pistej, Monteiro, McBeath, Kasahara, Tao, Jinbao, Taehyun, Kaden, Jouti. That is 26 players right there that have all proven to be top players at...

How do we reconcile this Qiu Jianxin quote with Zhang Rui's recent interview linked above where she states clearly that she was in fact tasked to be a Mima Ito imitator and served the main purpose of providing this practice to main team players at the time considered susceptible to losing? I...

She owes Lundqvist dinner....

Oh my goodness. Seattle coach just matched Vivarelli back on Sung BY CHOICE after Sung was put out as the first player in the rotation. I want to rip my eyeballs out. Unless the idea was to only lose one point at 3-0 but then you essentially guarantee you're losing a potential golden point.

She made Rachel look like prime Par Gerell.

First weekend on the job I believe...I'm sure he can learn from that mistake, especially to someone who isn't great in front of a camera like Rachel

Lilleroos big brain timeout waiting until 10-9 after Jens was 10-6 up on Monteiro as well as 7-2 to 7-5

Is it safe to say now that Vivarelli is terrible? 3-0'd today DECISIVELY by a mostly retired Rachel Sung. Horrible draft pick by Seattle's coach. Path forward in Season 3 is clear for Seattle and Florida. Priority is to draft a new woman player. Ekholm is also simply not good enough especially...

Not far off actually
