ZYL was auto qualified, not being on the player list means she withdrew. Remember she has quite some stuff going on outside of TT. Hashimoto is blocked by the country limit and could get a wildcard indeed.

By my math this should put her at 11th for now. Ironically missing out on top 10 due to another comeback match, SYB advancing vs Odo from 0-2 keeps her on 10th. Both Shin and Hayata have their best result (Olympics) expiring soon though. Zhu Yuling is also still eyeing top 10

It has to travel 16cm upwards from the point where he lets go and that was definitely pretty tight.

He is a dual citizen, but for travelling EU passports usually makes things easier. In case of the US he can enter with a visa waiver that way, while other Brazilians will have to go through a longer visa process. Issue is that visiting Cuba made him ineligble for visa waiver and he needed to get...

Felix is relying more on service points instead (and got them). That makes the Alexis match certainly more attractive, but is that better without being effective?

I also had this thought earlier, but did he actually or is that just the impression from starting 2-0 up instead of down? Since in the end they both took 2 sets, but Felix also lost 2 at deuce. Alexis didn't get that close otherwise, never more than 1 pt lead from game 3 either.

Don't think live audience is key for WTT survival, especially at smaller tour stops, although it would be nice to have of course. Recent financial report shows most of the revenue coming from commercial rights with a significant increase from 2023. WTT also had its first profitable year while...

Duda back in after having to sit out Ljubljana in singles. The way PDR is implemented i don't really like about Contender series. Wildcards already exist as arbitrary spots to invite players, why do hosts get to freely pick the top 20 entrants too.

Oh, then i have an idea why. Last week leading up to the ttbl final it was reported that he couldn't do full training because of some shoulder issues. In the match on Sunday it also didn't look too good, 0:3 vs Togami without much chance. Sounds like he decided to skip and recover.

Bardet still advances to the main draw as lucky loser. Does anyone know who withdrew?

It's not too restirctive, about one third of the top 100 play in TTBL despite the rules, the league is in a strong enough position to justify it. Like you said France got rid of it since the problems got too much, not bcs they wanted to, but out of necessity. Not having exclusivity for leagues...

It's not possible for the club to replace them short term, they'll have to do the same as back when they first got them and build up young talents again. Togami is ready for a leading role, getting Chirita is decent, probably planned as nr 2. Then i suspect there is going to be much rotation...

The WTT Youth Contender continued on the ITTFWorld channel in the meantime, i don't see why it wouldn't be the same here, although it's not scheduled there yet.

It's easier to win an event that's every 2 years yes, that's not a pro Gatien argument, he won the worse one. Ma Lin's Olympics is worth more than his WTTC (which was basically an ETTC for him too)... You call out Dan for what's just a fun video format, say facts matter and then completely twist...

Channel got hacked by crypto scammers earlier today. Being taken down is a good sign, first step to restoring it. Shouldn't take too long, at least it didn't happen during a major event.

What's going on at the US Smash though, no Japanese women's double?

Losing the match isn't decisive in UTT regular season, the league table is based on game wins first. So with a tight 7-8 it leaves both clubs in similar spots.

He will stay here, some more quotes from Hugo:

Hugo wants to focus on his international career: Gauzy is going to play in France for Hennebont, in his own words: Both came to Ochsenhausen as young players that grew into integral parts, big loss that will be impossible to replace short term. Togami will take the leading role and the club...
