Damn, the WS QFs have 8 CJKs (not just Asians or even East Asians which are too general here) and 7 of them are ethnic Chinese...all the while ignoring the rumor that SYB's great grandfather/grandfather is from Hebei... 🫠 The MS QFs have 4 CNT players, 2 JNT players, plus 1 BNT player and 1 FNT...

WS R16 Hayata (13) 0-3 WMY (2) (-6, -4, -5) It's clear now WMY's poor condition was why it was close the last time. Hayata tried her ugly table tennis from WTTC 2024 but it got turned into crappy table tennis. The prospect for Hirano, Hayata and Ito appears grim 3 years from now. WS R16...

MS R16 Hamada (Q) 2-3 Chen Junsong (Q) (-11, -8, 9, 4, -8) A valiant effort by Hamada. CJS goes from a nobody at World University Games 2025 to a national hero for taking out 2 JNT players and preventing 3 JNT players in the QF.

G3 as well. LGY of France born today (reincarnation/inheritance)?

It felt like I traveled back in time to the '90s. WS R16 CY (9) 0-3 ZYL (7) (-4, -9, -7) JCH 3-0 SXY (12) (3, 6, 9)

MD QF A. Lebrun/F. Lebrun (1) 1-3 Matsushima/Togami (7) (-7, 5, -6, -7) WTTC MD champ Shinozuka: Did I just lose my MD partner?

The highlight doesn't do Uda's win justice but still it left in the shots of Moregard's expression at the end of G2 and G4, from "I'm the inaugural Europe Smash champion" to "I get owned by the latest Feeder champion." Moregard displayed his superior TTQ and technical ability and tried to...

Bicker and banter are all fun to explore, but their rivalry should be the last thing on their mind now. Matsushima is putting Togami's MS hope for LA28 in jeopardy for real as one Tieba user projected in late July (which you brushed off). Shinozuka should be concerned as well now. It seems...

Uda's win rate has gone from 38.9% in mid-June to 57.5% now (58.5%/56.1% if he beats/loses to LSD next). He's only 1 win short of Togami with 1 more match played. Matsushima already had the 2nd most wins and has now overtaken Togami in win rate after beating Franziska (63.4%) and LJK (64.3%)...

Interesting tidbit. Matsushima (speaking as a proud young master with his head up high) actually said he was not in his best condition and feeling tired after beating Franziska (10/1 18:35), which took place after losing the XD (10/1 13:55). Poor Harimoto siblings for all the babysitting...

WS R16 SYB (16) 3-2 KM (4) (-7, 7, 9, -8, 9) G5 66, 610, 910, 911 Same problem for KM as in ATTC 2024 - poor receiving on serves to her 小三角/little triangle.

WS R16 Harimoto (6) 3-1 Odo (10) (-6, 10, 6, 3) G2 27, 37, 38, 39, 49, 410, 710 TO for Odo, 1210, 8 in a row for Harimoto Harimoto is spent from taking on 3 events and only kept afloat by strong will.

MS R16 Matsushima 3-2 LJK (4, -9, 8, -8, 8) Matsushima did a ML backroll... LJK's back injury looks quite serious. Still couldn't move well. 梁靖崑：林高远这么多年不容易 自身伤病正在恢复中 https://www.sohu.com/a/940545960_114977 MS R16 Moregard (5) 1-3 Uda (-9, -6, 7, -3) G1 72, 88, 98, 911 G2 07, 27, 28, 58 TO for...

Put bluntly, Togami is dumb, not unlike Hayata. And in that sense, he's hardly improved. He already has the weapons, but it comes down to how he wields them. He has the swords but not the shields and how to get him to wield his swords defensively is the million dollar question. 七傷拳/cutting...

Hard to tell. XP took out Assar, Felix and Moregard last year. Felix was hot coming off the Paris 2024 and his "slump" didn't start until that loss to Duda at ETTC two weeks later.

MS R32 Thakkar 0-3 AJH (-10, -7, -14) G1 epic footwork by AJH at 10:11

That's an interesting interpretation. To me, it's Nagasaki taking Kihara's place, Hayata taking Hirano's place, Hashimoto taking Ito's place, Ito taking Harimoto's place, Harimoto taking Hayata's place... https://web.archive.org/web/20250913074549/https://jtta.or.jp/national/womens

Ooh, photo-editing gone bad not limited to CTTSL... Is that some kind of new trend? https://jtta.or.jp/national-player-m5 https://jtta.or.jp/national/mens

Nakazawa: Ugh, my head aches...

The commentators and viewers are having so much fun in the comment section over at Miguvideo and Weibo. LOL 高傲少爷松岛，卑微侍女美和，这比赛有意思！ (Arrogant young master Matsushima and humble maid Miwa, this match is interesting!) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10086667724 往事吹乱思绪 咪咕主持人都在疑惑，这俩人难道是日后乒协强行上架的吗。...
