    True. So what about Felix's record against Duda (3W1L, last two for Duda at ETTC 2024 and WTT F 2024) or QD (4W2L, last one for QD at WTT CS Chongqing 2024)? I even kept track of his progress versus QD. And Moregard's record against Omar Assar (2W1L, last one for Moregard at Paris 2024)...

  4. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Come up with a better argument than misquoting and misrepresenting what was actually said. You are better than this.
  5. WTT Contender Muscat-2025 - 11-17 Jan 2025

    All this (mis)quoting and still not a proper counter-argument on why Mizutani started his response with "This may be a bit harsh, but I think it's the bare minimum. Hayata's victory in the WS QF against WYD, who was ranked 3rd in the world (then/now) and is essentially China's 4th-ranked player...

    This coming from the very person who keeps "bailing out" Matsushima (貸款 as Tieba users aptly put it), you sure are one to talk. Harimoto and Mizutani couldn't have made themselves more clear. What part of "winning all the way" do you not understand? Miwa beat WYD (2nd win) and then SYS (1st...
  7. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Posting this excerpt from TAKAGI Mina's 3-part interview with Mizutani back in 7/2023 that I never really quoted (even in the original post at MyTT, 07/27/2023 at 12:33pm). 早田ひなと張本智和が中国トップ3に勝つには...水谷隼が分析するポイントは「サービスと戦術」 https://sportiva.shueisha.co.jp/clm/otherballgame/other/2023/07/21/post_2/...

    And Harimto was 13 (Felix is just 3 years younger), when he started beating core CNT players.
  10. WTT Contender Muscat-2025 - 11-17 Jan 2025

    Don't make me repeat myself. Go convince Harimoto, Mizutani and Hirano Sayaka. Even they don't give much weight to medals won against WYD. Miwa has a World Cup bronze by going through WYD, so? Hirano and Ito have titles, and by going through multiple core CNT players. Hayata has one -...

    To set the (international) record straight: Harimoto 2 H2H 10 WCQ Harimoto 4 H2H 1 LSD Moregard 1 H2H 9 WCQ Moregard 0 H2H 1 LSD F. Lebrun 0 H2H 3 WCQ F. Lebrun 3 H2H 2 LSD It's WCQ, who is 24 but actually 26, that has to prove his worth at this point, with just 1 continental title - Asian...
  12. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Catching up with this article on Hirano from the end of last year that I somehow missed. She was going to take it easy at WTT SCT Doha 2025 and CT Muscat 2025 ahead of Zennihon Takkyu 2025, having taken zero days off after Paris 2024 before heading right into the T.League 2024-2025, driven...

    MS SF These TPE youngsters all look like 文弱書生, for lack of a better word. If they make the cut, they will probably end up like LYJ, deficient in power.
  14. WTT Contender Muscat-2025 - 11-17 Jan 2025

    XD F SXY did her job well. Huang Youzheng, still immature, didn't know what return to expect (waiting on FH and it went to his BH and vice versa), particularly toward the endgame. Also, he kept popping up those no-spin or weak backspin receives and could've received with his BH more instead...

    As always, go convince the Tieba users and the Yahoo Japan users. The national title is the last thing that keeps Hayata as Japan's no. 1, the shortest "First Lady" as some Tieba users put it. As Hirano already put it at the start of T.League season 2024/2025 and the new year, her focus has...

    Speak of the devil. Perhaps it isn't meant to be. Matsudaira Kenji or Matsushima Sora won't make a difference at WTTC 2025. WTT CT Muscat 2025 MS R16 Matsushima 2-3 Manush SHAH (7, -10, -9, 7, -7) MS R32 Manush SHAH 3-0 Yoshimura M. (8, 7, 11)
