  1. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    she could still have made money playing in the T-League. now she's gonna take care of her Insta and YT channel https://www.youtube.com/@kasuminch and of course, finding a husband, that shouldn't be too difficult for her, and I believe she'll stick to him more than Ai-chan...

    https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/ea31211d26e0023fddf8e3fc3c205df0d012aa3c Kasumi ISHIKAWA is officially retiring !! She finally succumbed to Zeio's wishes. The maid is gone... The CNT is now going to take beatings
  3. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2023

    Miwa lost to the new Korean girl made in China. JOO CheonHui seems as fast, accurate and powerful as a CNT player

    a coach found out the main mistake that i did while doing chiquita: sometimes my elbow goes down during the stroke. if it happens the swing will not go forward but upwards or even downwards sometimes, ending with the ball too long or in the net. with that detail being corrected, my accuracy has...

    I hope Miwa will make it to the final and earn her first epic win on the WTT tour She just destroyed Polcanova
  6. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2023

    the score is 0-3 but doesn't look like a total disaster for OJIO. She definitely needs to improve her attacking game to be competitive at senior level
  7. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2023

    We've been admiring SATO and HASHIMOTO as formidable choppers from Japan, but I believe Haruna OJIO is even above them. She is defending with short pips, not long pips. I can see that her chop defense is faster and has a lower trajectory and more backspin that the 2 players above. Her attacking...

    It is ridiculous indeed but this video has been already around for years too…

    @blahness thanks . Yes I’ve been also told to push long more often when receiving. Or chiquita. Those are shots that I can do in training but in match play I have difficulties reading spin and trajectory. The ball is a bit deeper than I thought ? I will miss the chiquita. I want to push long ...

    i had a long WE of competition in the suburbs of Tokyo. I had been preparing seriously for it for some time. There were 3 events, team open , team veteran (50+) and individual open. all were qualifying events for a national competition. We had strong expectations for the team veteran because we...
  11. Horrible backhand, stiff wrist.

    personally I’d like very much to see a match between OP and Gozo and to put some coins on Gozo especially if the odds are so skewed. I have seen some very BH spins from Gozo in his recent videos indeed OP’s videos are only highlights against someone he is familiar with. Ok we do see great...
  12. Horrible backhand, stiff wrist.

    i don't think there is an "obvious" problem with your BH. i've seen you make good flat hits and some good topspins too, both BH and FH. these videos are highlights and are more about showing off than helping us analyze whats good or wrong. Still we can notice a few things. personally i think...

    a big thank you to Marcos Freitas and Hana Matelova for participating in this event
  14. Why do I get so nervous when playing a match?

    I think we are all always nervous. I've spoken to my coaches ex-pros a lot about it and ofc they tell me they're (very) nervous. Its about how we deal with it, and about how we control our nervousness better than our opponent. They all have their own "tricks" for example my current coach says...

    excellent match from Alexis Lebrun yday against Truls Moregard, with the young French champion getting his 2nd win in a row, but it had to go to a decider and a rush finish from Lebrun (3 points in a row to win it 11-8)
  16. Why do I get so nervous when playing a match?

    todays match Bruna Takahashi v Jeon Jihee. Takahashi was up 8-4 in the decider and lost 8-11... (missing a serve at 8-8...) a total collapse. if you want to see another pro choke, this is a good example... it doesn't happen only to us amateurs

    i know what you mean, our competitions are always in the morning as well... there's no choice but sleeping early, waking up early (at least 2hours before the match), eating well the day before and at breakfast. and try to have a good warmup as much as possible before the match starts. in Japan...
  18. WTT Champions Xinxiang 2023

    I watched of course FZD v LSD. What an incredible high level match. On women's side HAYATA was only 1 point away from victory but that's so far !!! CHEN Meng saved an incredible match point. and also was down 8-10 in G2 after having lost G1. hats off to the Olympic Champion. ITO put on a good...
  19. What are tactics for men to play women?

    actually i train regularly with 2 girls. I've struggling a lot against them and only recently i've turned tables and have the better record against them although i could argue i was the better player as i could beat some male players against they had absolutely no chance, but somehow i was...
