Hayata needed a 5th game to win her first match against Nakamori

looks like the trio of ISHIKAWA, ITO, HIRANO don't need to do this qualification tournament

hi Richie thanks vm for your long comment. i'll try to think about the things you said when I'm next at the table, notably the right leg for more power (v backspin) and relaxing the arm. I don't remember being particularly tense but i'll double check that. perhaps I've got the FEELING its a...

Der Echte, it seems we share a taste for young Korean ladies :-) though I strongly believe in the quality of the label "made in Japan"

anyway she's a very good player. and three of them are quite good looking too !

is she the sister of SUH Hyowon ? why did they switch sides at 6-5 in the decider ? are the rules different there ?

yes we speak Japanese. I don't know about Korean. I would think Japanese is a bit easier than Chinese because: - there are "imported" english words - Japanese uses a limited number of Chinese characters (with 2000 you can already read a lot of stuff, in Chinese you'd need twice that or more) -...

i hope they end this charade

Dignics rubber are superior to Tenergy. more grip, more spin. Only for blocking and flat hitting i think Tenergy is better than Dignics. oh, and Dignics last longer than Tenergy. I play with T80 on FH and D80 on BH, i buy them at the same time, so i clearly see the FH grip dying before the BH...

many young players, including high school (or younger) athletes in those J trials. many players whose name I've never seen before

So is Ding Ning officially retired ?

my first coach (in France) was a lefty defender, a very good one !! hope he's still in good health. If so, he must be a very old man now

it has more chance of happening than Tokyo Olympics but probably there would be more spectators anywhere else even in Qatar

lost 6 out 6 matches in a tournament yesterday, now i hate this sport
