The same was said for MAX thickness when it first became available in the final decade of 38mm celluloid ball, where 2.0mm was the norm. When Bryce came out in 1997, it was labeled as unplayable and a few years later it was touted as the 神ラバー. Same for blades, where Viscaria was ahead of its...
WCQ's SF match versus XP is more comparable to F. Lebrun's R32 match versus CYY where the crowd caused a distraction (early on for the former and near the very end for the latter) and potentially changed the course of the match.
Harimoto's F match versus WCQ was different where the former...
The first thing F. Lebrun (WR7) wants is a good draw away from Duda (WR8), AJH (WR13), Franziska (#17), JWJ (WR21) and LSS (WR26).

Europe Smash...
WMY and WCQ answered questions post-match press conference. Pretty interesting.
WCQ was asked about the poor singles results in the past year after Paris 2024 and the high-intensity output throughout the year, saying how he chose to skip WTT CS Incheon and Europe Smash of his own volition...
WMY gave more specifics in the mixed zone interview with Wenweipo (first one below), praising Hayata for playing very well the last time at WTT CS Yokohama 2025, how it was their first meeting after a long time and so she was a bit unfamiliar with the overall change in her playing style, and how...
Stop weaponizing me in your ad hominem. It doesn't reflect well on your character. Like I've repeatedly said, I feel sorry for your students. BTW, fulfill the quest already, ball feeder.
Because CNT gets a decisive edge, as I'm always told (while ignoring the unfair edge JNT enjoys from the broadcast deal between ITTF/WTT and Tokyo TV).
This is why I always bring up Hirano, as she never whined even after losing left and right. She chose to take on the burden of playing WTT and...
That's news to me as well, as you don't seem to get tired of "daily period" whining, as the Tieba users like to put it.

Hmm, WCQ was still playing kids in prelims of U18 events at, ahem, likely 19 years, 1 month and 12 days old and busy trying to "graduate" from prelims of senior events, when LSD had already won China Smash 2024 and was several months away from becoming WR1.

Yeah, she still has a solid fan base in mainland China after that, which shows just how large and diverse (and equitable and inclusive 🥰) the table tennis population there really is/can be.

MS SF
Lebrun (7) 4-2 LSD (2) (5, -7, -6, 9, 6, 6)
LSD missing the FH on Lebrun's loose receive at 8:9 of G5 and the lob in G6 cost him the final game (still a toss-up if it came to that). Lost his cool and wanted to kill the point.
