Miu HIRANO's older sister Ako (?) advances to round 3

He lost 0-3 in first round. Not really a surprise given he was finished 3rd and last qualifier of his “small” prefecture (Saga in Kyushu). But GG

Her first name is Miku

one of Simon Gauzy's favourite shot. i sometimes do it against leftie pendulum serve when im very inspired but success rate is low

seriously in Japan there is the official federation called JTTA that everyone knows, where pros are registered. They do organize All-Japan veteran championships, they call it "All-Japan Masters" and long-term resident foreigners are allowed to play. I'd dream to win this someday. but even in my...

become all-Japan champion

actually foreigners are not allowed to play in Zennihon singles. only doubles. but they have of course to earn their place through a qualification tournament. [there is one for each prefecture] I did try already 4 times just because we're allowed to, although we know we have no chance at all...

I “kinda” participated in zennihon today. I went to a big venue (Yokohama Budokan) and became a practice partner for a guy from Kyushu playing first round tomorrow. We played 6 sets in total and unfortunately i got beaten badly but there were a few “super play” to be happy about. Of course...

was CM injured as bad as Hayata is ?

Yes but motivation is important. If she had achieved nothing maybe she’d find the will to keep on. But she’s got already all those titles. Why go through the pain ?

ofc I'm happy for Hayata. those Bronze meant a lot to her. i'm grateful for her, Ito and Hirano for everything they brought to us. [IIRC ATTU gold singles was when China was away. Much less meaning than Hirano 2017 ATTU bronze] but Hayata now alas is injured and she'll alas probably never be...

its difficult to tell in words because theres so many different kind of serves. Every player is different. Being able to adapt to any opponent serve is one of the most important skill to have at all levels. at beginner level, you have to fight with your tools in your arsenal. and also you don't...

OP posted a video (how to) READ THE SPIN ON A SERVE INSTANTLY Personally i changed my approach to this and receiving a few months ago. I kinda give up on reading the spin on the serve INSTANTLY. Instead I focus on how to make a good receive EVEN IF IM NOT SURE OF THE SPIN and ON TRYING TO GET...

I'm rather in zeio camp. He's the one making efforts to gather info from Chinese / Japanese source and translate it in english for the international public. agree or not with his conclusions, one should at least respect his efforts to present us the raw facts. this forum would feel much more...

Kim Kum Yong is the current Asian champion Kyoka Idesawa is the University World Champion Sabine Winter is noticing...

Exactly it’s not that pips player are difficult to play per se. It’s that if you play them only 10% of the time when you practice while they play double inverted 90% of the tkme And you’re a double inverted player of course you are at a big disadvantage. The solution is pretty clear you have to...

In 2023 I Used to play with K3 on BH and MK on FH (MK Carbon blade) Hybrid MK is much slower and coming from Tenergy80 I had to adapt my technique and learn how to improve my body coordination . K3 is a harder rubber and was much more similar to Dignics80 which I was coming from. My BH is /...

I think to beat this kind of player you need to be very strong in serve receive game to get quick points. It will help having much less pressure. Else It’s also too easy to fall into his game in rallies. My experience with this kind of players is it’s better to stay at the table and just put...
