Even the commentator can't help but notice Matsushima's world-weariness.

Huang Youzheng and Chen Yuanyu could edge out XP and XYB at this rate. Been a disaster for the latter two since ATTC 2024.

There are no more matches for January. Hirano is the only one who has been playing non-stop since Paris 2024 (and she's never complained about the WTT schedule) but she knows when to stop unlike Hayata, say, give up if it takes more than 70% exertion to win. Still, it seems Kinoshita let their...

Busy, rather, with social media and material life. Life in mainland China has gotten so much better in the past 2 decades and even better than the West in certain aspects. Japanese coaches have also attributed to that as the reason for the dip in level. p.s. Comment by ISHIDA Mayuki from...

Bad news for Matsushima in terms of progress. XP can lose to anyone now. Not a good indicator to use for assessment.

Hayata said last week that she will have to live with her injury and that has made her notice things that she didn't realize in 2024. Once again, I feel sorry for your students. The philosophy you've shown about how a player should develop is rather rudimentary. BTW, this news about a girl...

Getting this out of the way before Zennihon Takkyu 2025. It's becoming clear to Hayata that her hand is finished for real. After 3-0 Yokoi at WTT SCT Doha 2025, she admitted she can no longer do what she was able to do after the injury and because she can't go back to her old self, she will...

It will be a tall order to finish top 50 at the end of 2025 (58 as of WK2 and WK3), seeing she had stayed within top 50 for only 3 weeks in 2024. JPN players are the most spread out in that range (5th-43rd as of WK3) and they are arguably the best at playing special styles now. It will take...

WD R16 LEE Hoi Man/KONG Tsz Lam 3-1 S. Mukherjee/A. Mukherjee (14, -7, 10, 5) The HKG pair lost their way from the middlegame of G2 (5:3, 5:6, 7:11) to the middlegame of G3 (0:5, 1:8, 1210) but came to their senses in time. Kong in particular figured out how to win (deep side-underspin serves...

Even Winter (finally) realizes she can't brute force her way to LA 2028, when will Hayata realize that? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/dttb-announces-paris-2024-lineups.33630/post-467168...

Not for the most part. But penholders are interested in Felix's model and shakehanders in Alexis' model. 求助 挺拔的牌子性能怎么样？ ([Help] How is the performance of Tibhar brand?) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9408226269 贴吧用户_56X9eDN 和狂飙浩比呢？ IP属地:辽宁来自iPhone客户端1楼2025-01-12 10:03回复 (Compared to Hurricane Hao?)...

Speaking of Tibhar, they've angered a good chunk of customers in China after the exclusive agent raised the price of Felix's blade literally overnight. 阿鲁纳好像要签约挺拔了 (Aruna seems to have signed Tibhar) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9412376020 神和他棱角优美的球拍...

The English sub is a bit off here and there. Gan actually said he wouldn't recommend them to even advanced players, rather than intermediate, because for him, the [shot (inferred)] quality of both rubbers is somewhat lacking, rather than low. His sparring partner's assessment, who is coming...

According to Wuhan Municipal Sports Bureau in 2022, the royalty fee for WTT CS cost over US$3 million. According to Taiyuan Sport Bureau, WTT CT Taiyuan 2023 pulled in CN¥4.4143 million (~US$602k) in ticket revenue, which was collected by Kaicheng Sports, failed to be handed over to the Taiyuan...

Dainton noted the lack of China Smash affected the bottom line of 2023. As it stands, WTT is not run solely by WTT anymore. They are in dire need of investment and yet are wary of ceding control. OTOH, the employee turnover of the company seems concerning. 2023 #06 Executive Board Meeting...

A Tieba user points out that one of the fans in the spectator stand (the one yelling in Japanese) was a Matsushima's fangirl from Japan, who was there for his every match, even in the CTTSL and that she knows his dad and mom. Another user says that she also rooted for XYB/XP during their MD...

Well, they yelled ganbatte a ton as well.

Calling it hiding is hilarious. FFTT just conducted a similar training camp (which Gatien called for back in 2012 as well) with the Lebrun brothers and company by skipping XTWC 2024. DTTB and the others in Europe are free to copy the practice as well when they stop giving so much attention to...
