Nice to play with the US Open Champion... what kind of event was that ?

yes but the news is that the WTTC for left handed players will be held at Paralympics

There has been also an announcement from ITTF that there will be a WTTC for left-handed players only

I'll root for Mima. I hope she'll be in top form, not like this open

after watching the video

yes. i posted in the wrong thread sorry

@Janard it maybe one factor for sure but when we look at her record, i'm sure the mental aspect plays a huge part. Ishikawa is for example a better player than Fukuhara. But Ai-chan has had her day more than once against the top Chinese in her long career. Kasumi not even once.

its fair ISHIKAWA gets kicked out of her old ranking. It didn't reflect her real abilities.

FALCK's BH was awesome during this Qatar Open.

can we avoid talking about politics / religion in this TT forum please ?

its amazing indeed, when i saw the first match against Flore, i had little hope for ML in this tournament, but i was all wrong. he's beaten Flore, Boll, Mizutani, Xu Xin and LGY. Thats really an amazing performance for a return to the competition. He's going to be very tough to beat in WTTC...

a bit off - topic but i don't know where to post this, so here it is

yes I think so, with Kasumi edit: NOPE , after checking on ITTF website, its ISHIKAWA and HIRANO...

DN outplayed ITO 0-4 . Clearly she was well prepared, and anticipated (more than reacted to) well a lot of ITO's weird shots and placements. DN ball quality (low and spinny) forced a lot of errors from ITO's flat punches. 0-4 is logical, although, with a bit of luck in the first two games, ITO...

you're being slaughtered

HARIMOTO crushes LIANG Jingkun 4-0 who is there to say HARIMOTO can't be the World Champion next month ??? I believe in him !!! CHOREI !!!!

@yoass being agressive with doing stop is trying to get the ball as early as you can. taking the ball very early is more risky because well you might rush too much and make a net miss typically. you also want to really make a touch shot, to keep it really short and it's dangerous. If there is a...
