  1. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    That's the only match ML lost in 2014. First major to use the 40+ cellulose acetate ball. First of only 2 major finals for the two, with the other one being Rio 2016.
  2. WTT Finals Men and Women Fukuoka 2024, 11/20-24

    It's fine to leave them alone. There were two threads for World Cup 2024, the one I started focused on keeping track of official information. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ittf-world-cup-to-come-back-in-2024.32231/ https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/world-cup-2024.33476/
  3. WTT Finals Men and Women Fukuoka 2024, 11/20-24

  5. World Cup 2024

    Well, ML considered retiring after losing to WH 3 times in WTTC and ZJK at World Cup 2014. So you can't blame them.
  6. World Cup 2024

    王艺迪这是对🇯🇵有心理阴影了吧 (Is WYD suffering from PTSD with 🇯🇵?) https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8984335934 汗耗鸟 17年都被降到二队了,全运会逆袭进4强,不仅重回一队又在新周期晋升五大主力,还拿了三个世界冠军,可以了,本身就没有top3级别的实力,被强行拔高到这个程度也没用,努力过就好,争取在后面某次比赛里打个漂亮仗然后见好就收退役吧 IP属地:北京来自Android客户端17楼2024-04-18 13:47回复 After being relegated to the B team in 2017, she...
  7. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    In terms of WTTC and World Cup, Harimoto has done ok-ish for 2022, 2023 and 2024 compared to 2021 (beginning of the Paris 2024 cycle). FWIW, he started his climb back to the top as I expected after the transition from high school to college [11/27/2021 at 3:28pm, 10/08/2022 at 1:56pm]. It's...
  8. World Cup 2024

    WMY literally wrote a Weibo post explaining that as the reason for the departure and people still didn't believe her and that she made a poor decision.
  9. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Harimoto and LYJ are 2 of 5 non-CNT players with the highest number of wins against ML. ML has praised Harimoto before for being better than him at the same age (12) after their first encounter at Polish Open 2015 and has said that LYJ is one of the main opponents for the CNT at WTT CS Xinxiang...
  10. World Cup 2024

    That reminds me of what I wanted to write that would serve as an addendum to what WCT said. During the interval after G4 (with WCT trailing 1-3) of the SF match between WCT and WCQ at Asian Games 2022, the advice given by Liu Guodong (Liu Guoliang's older brother) to WCT was to spin it up and...
  11. World Cup 2024

    Me: In Macau during the group stage but couldn't visit the venue...(I don't regret it...I don't regret it...I don't regret it...)
  12. World Cup 2024

    A win for REAL gender equality! And WTT wanted to spin off the women's competition while saying fempowerment. Look what happens in tennis. ATP, WTA to consider merger proposal next month in Madrid...
  13. World Cup 2024

    That reminds me of what Ovtcharov said after losing to Boll in SF and then LGY in 3rd place match at World Cup 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_ITTF_Men%27s_World_Cup#Main_draw 赛后 | 奥恰洛夫:我不明白为什么要打三四名决赛?它对我并不重要 (Post-match | Ovtcharov: I don't understand why the 3rd place match is...
  14. World Cup 2024

    5:1 and 6:2 in G5 and 3-1 in games for LGY. Blowing the lead like that qualifies as choking. I mean, we can debate for other players but it's not new with LGY. Same thing for WMY leading 3-1 in games, unless there is something wrong with her body.
  15. World Cup 2024

    No clues without the prospectus. The bronze column for 2024 is empty as of this writing but the award ceremony shows we have double bronze medalists. (Ok, it's been updated just now to show the bronze medalists.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Tennis_World_Cup#ITTF_World_Cup
  16. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    In 1/2020, even FZD touched on the expectations that people had for him after beating Boll and Ovtcharov early on. [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/4FE8VrzdbDQ?t=163[/url]
  17. World Cup 2024

    As FZD looked back on 2019 in 3/2020, his technique was no longer the most advanced and there were many players capable of playing like him. https://sports.sina.cn/others/pingpang/2020-03-21/detail-iimxyqwa2182554.d.html
  18. The fall of FZD ?

    If you ask me, it could be PTSD from the hotel incident back in 4/2023. Tieba users who follow his Weibo feel that his mind has not been on table tennis recently...
  19. World Cup 2024

    It's widely known and reported even in China. I wrote about it in 2019 and 2021. ITTF couldn't do anything as they change their age before registration, but CTTA started cracking them down. CTTA ran a strict bone age test for all CNT participants for YOG 2014 held in Nanjing which FZD...
  20. World Cup 2024

    五十笑百,自己照吓鏡先啦 See how PTT users felt about CIC "getting slaughtered" by SYS in 2022 that spawned multiple threads. CIC even blamed herself after 2-4 Hayata at Asian Games 2022 for always getting injured when it matters the most, which is exactly why I had a hard time to believe in her despite...
