Correction: It is CDS that will play MS and MT as he's the 2nd highest ranked KOR player (wrongly reported as 3rd member by Table Tennis Kingdom). LJH will play MT and XD. Joo Cheonhui is a naturalized player and has to wait out several more years to become eligible.

Paris 2024 MS/MT: JWJ, CDS MT: LJH WS/WT: SYB, JJH WT*: Lee Eunhye by selection trial 2024/6/21-23 * The 3rd spot should've gone to Joo Cheonhui but was prevented by her "cooldown period". Kim Nayeong's WR dropped outside of top 30 on 2024/6/18 and hence fell short of the criterion for...

Same projection for Matsushima 9 months later. "Upward correction" for Odo 2 months later. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/26th-asian-table-tennis-championship.31859/post-422809 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-2024-feeder-events.33518/post-453335...

Defending her title, or so I've been told?

The first penalty table you have there is way older. The current penalty table has been that way since 2022/12/12. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/ITTF-Table-Tennis-World-Ranking-Regulation-20231210.pdf...

Shinozuka was even more promising than Togami, having won 2 WTT titles (beating Jarvis and Jorgic in the finals) and reached the later rounds much more, but then a herniated disc wiped his form and momentum away in 2023. His win rates in 2022 and 2024 are not shabby. Other than 2023...

Togami was promising at the start of the Paris 2024 cycle. Uda as well. Both of them are great at MD. But then Togami's lack of TT quotient slowly became more noticeable. I first noticed it when he lost to Jorgic at Singapore Smash 2022 after leading 2-1 in games to blow the 7:3 lead in G4...

WS R32 Hirano 3-1 SHW You've got to admit that JNT players are now better than CNT players at playing defenders. Fukuhara and Ishikawa didn't lose in vain at Rio 2016. JTTA should feed Sato and Hashimoto for the rest of their lives. Hirano for her depth-/spin-reading ability (last point of...

No eye see. How many BH loopkills caught the top of the net in deuce? MS R32 Falck 3-0 Togami (8, 8, 11) https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/2024-wtt-contender-zagreb-croatia-june-3-9.34126/post-463115

WS R32 Lily Zhang 3-2 Kim Nayeong (-8, 8, -7, 11, 10) https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/2024-wtt-contender-zagreb-croatia-june-3-9.34126/post-462753

Harimoto is more willing to finish the point with his FH here. As soon/long as his FH comes/stays online, his game becomes very consistent and the loopholes close up. As I noted at WTT CT Zagreb 2024, he's been playing with a set of rules and trying out various tactics. G3 5:4 [url...

First of 2-part article on Hirano by TAKAGI Mina. 「あぁ、この子は本気なんだ」“キティ屋さん”になりたかった平野美宇の夢がオリンピックに変わった日…母・真理子さんが感じた「娘の覚悟」 https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/861853

Also allow me to remind you that it was you that got us into this in the first place unfortunately and I first urged you to stop wasting my time during Singapore Smash 2024. I have better things to do than to repeat myself for 3 months. There is a fair-and-square selection system that would...

In the latest episode of アスリートDays/Athlete Days that aired on 6/13, it's revealed Hirano headed to the shrine and got an omikuji on New Year's Day of 2024. The first line of the omikuji is an apt warning on what almost happened at Zennihon Takkyu 2024. 願望 初めにきをつけねば中途でやぶれる She also...

Reproducing another post from World Cup 2024 here. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/world-cup-2024.33476/post-454810 More matches means less energy to spare and less time to rest and hence harder to adjust, but the difference is really not that much for the 3 of them in 2024...

Before anyone wastes anymore of my time on Hirano's struggle with her WR, I will just quote Tony's posts which happen to be helpful in this rare case. Counter that. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-star-contender-ljubljana-2024-06-11-16.34172/post-463655...

No one cares about that. Just like how you don't care about Hirano boasting the highest win rate against CNT players in 2022 and 2023 and getting past 3 CNT players at WTT CT Zagreb 2023 where Hayata, Kihara and Harimoto failed, many people in China apparently care much less about the 2 bronze...

A misinterpretation of 4.1.1.(b) is one possible explanation for withdrawing on 5/13, which was almost 2 weeks after 4/30 (4/29 to be exact). https://wttwebcmsprod.blob.core.windows.net/technicaldocuments/WTT%20Series%20&%20Feeder%20Handbook%202024.pdf

Because Hayata has complained about how Ito is mysteriously strong only when playing her after losing 3-4 at Nojima Cup 2023, where Hirano beat Ito ultimately. Reproducing the entire post below because you folks refuse to admit it and I am forced to rub it in...

WS R64 Zeng Jian 2-3 C. Kallberg (-7, -10, 14, 7, -8) Kallberg never disappoints. Kallberg never disappoints. MS R64 Ma Jinbao 3-2 Apolonia (12, -3, 7, -5, 9) Majin Buu for Paris 2024!
