Kaufmann lost pretty badly in their first-ever encounter at WTT CT Antalya 2023 but up-and-coming players are always dangerous. JPN can't pray for more than this. No FRA and IND. Through to the final with minimal challenge?

HY and Mittelham: Have we just been "retired"?

Kaufmann is playing like there's no tomorrow.

Kaufmann played very smart by keeping the ball on the table and wait for her chance to kill. Batra still relied too much on her BH when under pressure and Kaufmann exploited it by playing to her wide FH.

Winter posted on her Instagram saying that the management didn't believe she could recover in time. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/dttb-announces-paris-2024-lineups.33630/post-467168

Hirano, yes. Hayata, no. Remember Hayata lost to Batra 2-4 in 3rd place match after barely edging out DHK 4-3 in QF (with her golfer's elbow) at Asian Cup 2022 while still/after recovering from her injury from WTTC 2022. Compared to Hirano who took out Batra 3-1 at WTT CT Lima 2023 before...

Plot twist: JPN loses to IND...

3 games only. Where did all that confidence originate?

Other than WCQ in MS and Harimoto/Hayata in XD, the seeding positions for XD/WS/MS were well reflected in the SF (at least 3 of the top 4 seeds made it).

How many games can TPE mange here?

Semi-related. Despite Marin being a controversial player on the court, He Bingjiao's gesture in the award ceremony is a testament to the slogan "友誼第一，比賽第二/Friendship comes before competition". China’s He praised for holding Spanish flag on Olympic podium in injured opponent’s honour...

The PRK debuff is OP AF. The game balance is totally broken after the XD. LOL Poor ZCZ, who admitted she lacked confidence in herself after losing to Hirano despite standing a chance in 3 of the games, got dragged down just like that in her first Olympics. Tokyo 2020 was supposed to be the...

IND, PRK, and now FRA. THA is now a TT powerhouse. Jinnipa: 我是泰國人。/I'm Thai (in Mandarin). Pavade lost to Suthansini and now Orawan. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-contender-tunis-2024-6-25-6-30.34320/post-465849

According to her interview after winning gold, her injury was misdiagnosed (way worse) and the Badminton Korea Association didn't give a damn and she hints at quitting the national team. Now you see why I'm so strict with Hayata. 相隔28年 安洗瑩為韓國摘下奧運羽球女單金牌...

JPN won the draw and chose the ABC team. They had to use this chance to test out the Hayata/Hirano pairing before the SF round which will be either IND or ROU. Hirano continues to play her role of fail-safe like Watanabe elaborated at WTTC 2024...
