Not the first day.
Matsushima told the press that he wasn't good at doubles once after losing at Zennihon Takkyu 2019 or 202X, with Miwa as his XD partner. Quite shocking coming from a true lefty. I posted about this over at MyTT a few years ago.
See if I can look up the news...
Doesn't get any better for CNT. JNT infighting plus Matsushima the shill...

Almost 13 months later, we may not see Hirano, Hayata and Ito at LA28 and that may be a better thing given the divide...

The reason WMY lost the last time and cost her own Olympic singles had to do with herself rather than Batra.

Don't jinx it.
QYX and several others are as they call it in mainland China, 掃雷用/minesweepers. To slow them down, wear them thin... Nothing to lose but everything to gain. Not the case for Ito.

OJS 2-3 Hamada (Q) (9, -10, -8, 7, -4)
OJS collapsed in early G5. OTOH, 濵田一輝/HAMADA Kazuki has been in the back of my mind since Zennihon Takkyu 202X. A little less than 3 years until LA28, so still a long way down the road...
MS R32
Groth 0-3 E. Ionescu (-13, -3, -8)
Kanak will not like this, but Eduard proves he is the worthier winner at WTTC 2025.
A. Lebrun first and now Groth. F. Lebrun or CYY next?
Something is not right with Polcanova.

The score might not reflect it, but the Thai pair took the German pair apart, coming from behind in all 3 games. Both Sawettabut and Paranang ate anti for breakfast...
It was no fluke that they beat IND and PRK at Asian Games 2022...
The way Harimoto threw a tantrum over T.League players' sole purpose being all about beating him ahead of WTT CS Yokohama 2025 already highlights the lack of solidarity within the team. That is in stark contrast to the one who defended his teammates (namely Togami and Shinozuka) when Mizutani...
The last point once again highlights the problem with Togami's game, always going for the extremely low-percentage winner.
It's becoming clear that his obsession with Puroresu is getting in the way here. 係又必殺技カミソリドライブ,唔係又必殺技カミソリドライブ,成個盲閪噉,𨳒那星。
Where he got the idea of reaching the QF, which...
No. That's commercialization at work.
As a Tieba user once put it, those are 人迷, not 球迷. That's how the new generation behaves. As Table Tennis Kingdom points out in a recent article, that is a good thing and the senile crowd at Japan Open was not. Throw out the old mindset. Get used to...
Stop adding your own caption, which is wrong, MF.
That setup is for RigourTech (here and here for more). AFAIK, the setup for Spinsight [owned by ESN, conflict of interest?] has not been published to this day, which is appalling.
