And yet you doubt the experts that you deem unworthy.

MS R16 T1 F. Lebrun (6) 3-4 AJH (17) (10, -9, -12, 7, 12, -6, -9) Felix gets to taste the defeat Harimoto experienced at WTTC 2019. With this win, AJH proves he's the worthier one (over JWJ) for the WTTC 2019 MS bronze. Could've ended in 6 games as AJH almost came back from 7:10 down again in...

The surprise and confusion of Bobrow and the other commentator over AJH's TO are unfitting here. After winning 3 points from 7:10 was very likely to let AJH catch a breath and regroup, especially after the long point at 9:10. Ishida did it at the Zennihon Takkyu 2020 when Hayata leveled the...

If you put it that way, then no former JNT players of the past few decades should teach the current crop of top players as they haven't achieved anything of substantial significance, at which point, you have to take the bad with the good. Miyazaki may sound like a nutjob at times, but along...

WS R16 T1 SYS (1) 4-2 SYB (9) (8, -7, 6, 5, -10, 10) G6 610, 1210 SYB settles with the title of doubles specialist.

Hayata was one herself. Ito and Hirano started making a splash in WD first as well. But like I've touched on repeatedly, Kihara and Nagasaki, her partner at WTTC 2023, are the 1st most unfortunate.

WD QF T2 Harimoto/Kihara (4) 3-0 KNY/LEH (3, 5, 8) 2 WD medals for Kihara. Bronze at WTTC 2023 and >= bronze at WTTC 2025.

How are you sure of that? Matsuzaki Taisuke is an amateur himself and his expertise was in stats and tactics.

Poor analogy. WH was out of the picture by 2015 (retired in 2014). Like WH said in a recent interview, it took the likes of them (WLQ, MLin, WH, ML) multiple tries to win the WTTC title.

The experts - Mizutani and Hirano Sayaka. DHK beat SXY 3-2 in R32 and SYB 3-1 in QF (DHK 3W0L after that match) at ATTC 2024 to earn a WS bronze. Hirano came back from 2 games down and 5:10 in G4 to win 3-2 at WTT CT Taiyuan 2024. Nothing to write home about.

Well, it happened in the final of the Sudirman Cup 2025.

MS R16 T1 JWJ (12) 3-4 Moregard (7) (-8, -7, 7, -9, 3, 7, -12) G7 62, 67, 77, 78, 88, 89, 109, 1010, 1110, 1111, 1211, 1214

Right, ML mentioned Jorgic specifically. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-finals-fukuoka-2024-11-20-24.35221/post-494640

Coming from a ball feeder who isn't willing to offer any personal insights but has no qualms about boasting of all the networking.

Please tell that to Mizutani and Murakami, who have expressed that the difference between Japan and China is that the latter don't make simple mistakes at crucial moments. Save your comment for your students.
