  1. New Format - Team Preview of ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025,

    Not having Shah here is the primacy reason I place IND under Tier D along with CRO that has been playing well even without Gacina.
  2. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    S1 G2 M5 JPN vs CRO Hayata/Togami - Ban/Arapovic Harimoto2 - Rakovac Harimoto1 - Pucar Harimoto2/Odo - Jerger/Rakovac Matsushima/Togami - Kojic/Ban Good call to bench Ito for WS, Matsushima for MS and Ito/Hayata WD after the cold sweat against IND. Losing to CRO would be disastrous.
  3. New Format - Team Preview of ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025,

    Day 2. XD being the weakest link put KOR at a disadvantage but TPE couldn't keep up in subsequent matches w/o singles players. IND gave JPN a good scare after Ito and Matsushima played like amateurs. S1 G3 M4 SWE 8-0 USA M3 KOR 8-6 TPE G2 M3 JPN 8-4 IND M4 AUS 3-8 CRO G4 M4 ROU 8-2 BRA M3 GER...

  6. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Yes, 4 per association, but 6 for those with World Champion and U19 World Champion qualified. BTW, it's Qin Yuxuan rather than Itagaki Koharu (copied the wrong name).
  7. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Ito played like crap against Batra.

    Itagaki Koharu Qin Yuxuan and Kawakami Ryussei have qualified for World Cup 2026, provided nothing changes. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ittf-world-youth-championships-2024-helsingborg-11-22-29.35915/post-496044

  10. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    According to the rules, the lower-ranked team gets to decide whether WD or MD is played first after the XD ended. Both teams should have the complete lineups turned in some time before the start of the match. At first I misinterpreted the rule about equal men and women as being on the bench...

  13. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    CNT has a history losing more titles in National Games years, e.g. winning only 3 of 7 titles in 2005. Other than that, for WJTTC 2016, the top youngsters all played in CTTSL instead and winning only 1 of 7 titles. They still top the medal table in WYC 2025 by a good margin and that is still...
  14. New Format - Team Preview of ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025,

    Day 1 went more or less as expected. Chitale missing her XD partner Shah here hurt their odds a bit more than I expected and Batra losing to Rakovac after blowing that lead changed the course of the match between IND and CRO. Not having Goda (yet to fly in from WYC 2025?) put EGY on the...

  16. Thread about Japanese Players

    Just realized the lineups for Fukuzawa (4 men/3 women) and SNS (4 men/3 women for one with the highest votes) are invalid per the rules of equal number of men and women. The AI one is good.
  17. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    It turns out TPE didn't realize they needed equal men and women to be fielded (minimum of 2 men and 2 women) and fielded 3 men and 4 women instead. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/ITTF-Mixed-Team-World-Cup-2025-Competition-Details-Playing-system.pdf...
