Who said anyone has to? You simply won't be known for having sportsmanship otherwise

I didn't remember exactly, but found it again: https://www.tabletennisengland.co.uk/heartbreak-for-hursey-at-worlds-pitchford-green-beaten/

Context for Anna's loss to Amy is that she withdrew from doubles on the same day

The amount of similar events with mostly the same players will always have many repeats, especially in the small fields of Champions events. When you even include further rounds than the first one there are lots of different draws that can lead to the same matchups. Kanak and Dang meeting in QF...

On the first one the umpire called "XP was not ready", that certainly wasn't the case

Not sure if the LJK withdrawal was early enough to still travel, somehow LGY or Wen Ruibo didn't get that spot. Poret was 35th on the entry rank, ahead of any other international players. At that point CTTA wouldn't know Dima is withdrawing and that they can use an onsite reserve player though...

Yes at events without qualifying draw there are a few reserve positions, but if you take them you have to travel there preemptively. Don't see any international players doing that, withdrawals after the draw don't happen often enough for it to be worthwhile. I'm more curious about Poret...

Sadly Dima has withdrawn a lot this year, i don't really see him make it to LA28 which is still his goal.

Pretty much. If they don't want to get rid of it i would at least guarantee the top 16 world a spot and then consider NER for the rest.

True, there's a lot to handle and the responsibilities are not fully obvious. I guess the extra money from rights sold to China could cover such costs. Then there's the question how that is distributed as well. Football clubs pay for security inside the ground, but police presence needed falls...

This article said 30 ttbl matches, that's far from everything. Thinking about how they would reach 30, maybe 1 per matchday, 1 per cup round + Final Four of each. That would be the best you could get with that number at least. Since they already missed a matchday probably something else though...

Not sure if that's the case, at least from Saarbrücken's manager it sounded like the club was planning their new security concept and not the league.

It was really overdue for Andre to enter TTBL, he could've done so last year but there was the goal to move up with Köln i guess.

I was just in the middle of typing the same They got the rights, but are they even showing everything? Can't find anything if so, only see info for Saarbrücken matches. If there's a page that links to the streams that would be helpful.

Today's match is free again on Dyn Sport Mix, this time it's on from the start

Depends which stand you look at, for example here is wasn't that many, on the opposite side almost all

Dyn YouTube channel still posting some highlights, but taking their sweet time

This one works well

Champions League is the premier European club competition with teams from different leagues facing off internationally. The 2025/26 season just started with Stage 1 held the last 3 days in Novi Sad. Top 8 seeded teams skipped this stage and are directly qualified for the Round of 16, those...
