  1. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    4 years. WTT commenced in 2021 and the first GS didn't come until 2022. US Smash has been in the talks and will probably come in 2025 now.

  3. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Provided nothing has changed, $1300 is the minimum prize for 1st qualification round/QR64 of singles and should cover the expense for most players around the world. WTT has stopped listing the prize money breakdown in the 2024 handbook (likely the same moving forward) and only the prize money...

  4. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    JTTA has itself to blame as well. Too poor to host a GS (1000 million JPY ~ 7 million USD in 2022). They haven't done enough of their part for WTT. That's not much better than DTTB. Both of them were very quick to criticize, and for the latter, even sabotage the WTT...

    Can't agree more, Pot. Over, Kettle. 冇鏡咪屙篤尿照下自己囉。 Back in 2016, you said China did its part to help the world and South Africa got the better end of the deal. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/can-chinas-table-tennis-team-be-beaten.14291/post-170352...

  7. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    It has nothing to do with the commercial nature of WTT events. CCY's case is different as it has nothing to do with NER and his spot did go to a TPE player. The main draw of WTT GS is limited to the top 50 (Automatic Entry). Who else were qualified at time of entry other than LYJ, Kao...

  8. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Because Ito refuses to retire out of greed. Same for Mori. Automatic Entry based on WR on 2024/8/20 (Seeding based on WR on 2024/9/24) with an NER (National Entry Restriction) of 6: WR8 (WR7/Seed 5) Harimoto WR9 (WR9/Seed 6) Ito WR12 (WR12/Seed 9) Hirano WR26 (WR24) Kihara WR28 (WR26) Nagasaki...

    Ito's exclusive interview with 林　直史/HAYASHI Naofumi of Sports Hochi. She thought about retiring on a high note after WTTC 2021. She wants to win a medal at WTTC and/or ATTC. And she has told Hayata that she is interested in playing WD with her again in WTT events. (Yeah right, after marooning...

  12. Everyone's setup is easier to play than mine

    Your training volume has fallen off. It's a "high-maintenance" setup.

  16. Advice for my terrible receive

    Even if OP can read the spin, his strokes on either side, especially the BH, are simply not solid enough to handle those long serves. Yet again, multiball is the fastest and easiest way to solidify (AKA fix) them.

  17. Tenergy 05 = most overrated equipment item?

    Most significant grippy rubber in history, and yet most overpriced.

  18. Why was Harimoto able to defeat all the giant Chinese but Xu Xin?

    For the same reason Ito couldn't beat CM - fate.
