Here, to get you up to speed. Predictions: On Boll losing before meeting China in MS at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-singapore-smash-2024-3-7-3-17.33147/post-447975 On Ovtcharov losing before meeting China in MS at WTTC 2017 and WTTC 2019...

WYD: I approve this comment. WYD went from beating Ito and Hayata at Asian Cup 2022 and Harimoto at WTT SCT Goa 2023 (the reason for choosing her for WTTC 2023 as given by MLin) to losing to Hirano (playing the catalyst role again like in Tokyo 2020 cycle), Hayata, Hayata, Kihara, Hirano...

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 (Hayata 13 (16 if counting WTT SCT Doha 2024), Hirano 12, Ito 8 before World Cup 2024). As always, their minimum goal is to get through...

The latest example is Russell Westbrook. It got picked up by the local news and people compared him to Messi. https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/china-says-messis-absence-hong-kong-match-beyond-realm-sports-fury-builds-2024-02-08/...

As pointed out last time, keeping a high win rate against the CNT players AND non-CNT players, the latter of which had no bearings on the selection race (yet Hirano remained unbeaten longer than Hayata and Ito), made little sense.

Ahem, yours truly keeps making these predictions from an absurdly small sample size. ;) https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/2024-wtt-champions-incheon-03-27-03-31-korea.33316/post-450698

This is the lower limit after WTTC 2024 that I predicted during Singapore Smash 2024. Compared to her teammates, especially Hayata, and other non-CNT top players, Hirano is really a workhorse and the sturdiest here. Between WTTC 2024 and Singapore Smash 2024, Hirano was on a 10-match winning...

No, there won't be a 3rd place playoff according to the Daily Schedule in the Media Guide.

Yoshiyama Kazuki, Ryoichi's younger brother, and Mende have won the selection trials and qualified for Asian Youth TTC 2024 and World Youth TTC 2024. For the girls, Takamori put her potential on display and finished 2nd, whereas Aoki, Yuna and Takeya failed big time and finished 4th, 5th and...

And/or tie the WR points to the games won, to stay consistent with the XTWC.

Amy takes Ito with her. S. Sawettabut: I beat Ito on our first encounter!

ITTF and IT were NOT on the same page. More proof that the money didn't go where it was needed. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ittf-world-team-table-tennis-championships-finals-busan-2024.32987/post-443519...

Too innovative for their own good. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/hitler-reacts-to-ittfs-game-changing-announcement.18145/post-237010

For future reference, as it seems even the ITTF/local organizer don't know what they are doing. https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024_WC_Qual_PlayingSystem27Feb.pdf https://documents.ittf.sport/sites/default/files/public/2024-02/2024_ITTF_Statutes_clean_version.pdf...
