It becomes increasingly clear that "separation by association", from as far as possible in the early days to first round only to no separation, is a necessary evil. Affirmative action for the rest of the world at the expense of China while China still takes all the blame is nothing but 自欺欺人...

WS R16
Kihara (14) 3-0 Hayata (3) (10, 7, 9)
G3 36, Hayata's crossover issue shows no sign of recovery. It seems she will have to rely on painkillers to play well from now on. Too high a price to pay.

ZYL (9)(WC) 3-2 Odo (2)(WC) (-5, 9, 3, -11, 8)

Still not listening.
As noted by Peter93, the 仮名/kana/fake name like alphabets in English, in this case 平仮名/hiragana (used for people/things of domestic origin nowadays), おもだ ことみ/OMODA Kotomi are known as 振り仮名/furigana and serve as a phonetic notation like phonics in English to clarify how 面田...

QTY/SXY 1-3 Harimoto/Odo (-3, -8, 7, -2)
These 2 would've been kicked out back in Cai Zhenhua's days... What a great time it is now to carry the CNT name.

Like I told you here and in another post that "got disappeared" how China being more organized than India back then, no. Don't take my word for it, listen to the late Lee Kuan Yew (beside his book), who had shared on multiple occasions his analysis of India's systemic problems that limit its...

QD 0-3 XF (-7, -7, -8)
Funny comments (mostly word plays of QD's name) in the Youtube live stream chat.
I'm curious what excuses he can come up this time.
Pucar 3-2 AJH (3, 5, -8, -8, 5)
Oh, I forgot about the proposed suspension of TTFI by ITTF. No wonder not a word on TTFI from WTT.
Paddler Manika Batra's battles expose TTFI, but it remains a family enterprise...
TTFI can't even get itself in order, but at least there are still some level-headed Indians.
UTT 6 season review: Rising talent, better games — but the same old hurdles

Less than 4 months away and still nothing on the venue. TTFI, seriously?

Excerpt about India from Lee Kuan Yew’s book, From the Third World to First

The usual 避重就輕/寬己嚴人 Tony, always leaving out the ugly facts when it comes to non-China topics. Yet another slap in the face to "all other countries are all independent".
Table Tennis in India set for change as WTT aims big with new venture...
There is a reason Togami still thinks he is inferior to Harimoto. He even mentioned the "ability to adapt" as the reason he went to Germany. One can't merely look at the upper limit while ignoring the lower limit.
For starters, win some MS titles and/or at least beat more top CNT players...
