  2. WTT Contender Doha 2024

    Was curious how many he got here. Only points in the highlights, likely more in the full matches. Better handling of shots to FH pocket: VS Togami [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/umw4foRDPnM?t=46[/url] [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/umw4foRDPnM?t=74[/url] [url...
  3. WTT Contender Doha 2024

    Togami 2-3 Harimoto (8, -4, -2, 7, -7) Harimoto is better at covering his FH pocket here after WTT SCT Doha 2024.
  4. WTT Contender Doha 2024

    LYJ 2-3 Boll (5, -4, 7, -9, -5) The last 2 meetings that went to LYJ were close as well.
  5. WTT Contender Doha 2024

    Just a run of bad luck. Sample size is too small. ;)

  7. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    Hardheaded engineer can't even get the definition of Dunning-Kruger effect right after well over a decade, for crying out loud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect...
  8. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    I lost track but here is a video by 小宇老師/Teacher Xiaoyu on the common issues of BH that goes over what I wrote [1, 2]. The machine-translated English sub is a little off but it should be understandable. @5:35, he goes over how the BH flip (dial in the sub) and rip (tear) should not be played...
  9. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    In the latest episode of Takkyu Japan, Mizutani goes over how Togami was just one step away from beating LJK and he made an unforced error. He can't help but asks "what was he doing?" He further states that in the end the difference between win and lose came down to a mistake and it is...
  10. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Some Yahoo Japan comments also point to the long serve in G5. I personally see G1 as the problem. As for the change, she has actually opted for more speed after WTT CS Frankfurt 2023 but it hasn't gone well. Judging from WTT SCT Doha 2024, she seems to be testing by mixing up speed and spin...
  11. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Where did you get the idea that I ever suggested that Hayata had no chance of winning? It's Hayata who says she is frustrated with not being able to win when she should have (3 out of 4 previous matches were 2-3 against CM). By all means, go convince Hayata that it has to do with luck. Except...
  12. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    It has been a well-known fact in China. Shang Kun was the only one to beat him in 2015. LYJ is the current player with the highest win rate against him after WTT CS Frankfurt 2023.
  13. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    You talk like it hasn't happened before. Hayata lost 2-3 once in 2023 and the score for the final game was the same, with SYS getting 2 nets as well, but Hayata was up 3:0 at the start. WTT SCT Ljubljana 2023 QF Hayata 2-3 SYS (7, -7, -6, 5, -9) It's ridiculous to put it down to luck at this...

    FZD's latest interview with Olympics.com and WTT http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93247&PID=1147936&title=team-chinas-race-to-paris-2024-singles#1147936
  15. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    SYS 3-2 Hayata (13, -8, 7, -7, 9) Last chance to earn 10 extra pts, get her first win and Hayata failed (once again). Gave up on the XD and still couldn't win. I've run out of excuses here. Wins over top 3 CNT players b/w 2023/1/30-2024/1/21: 25 pts Hirano R32 3-2 WYD, Singapore Smash 2023 F...

    Judging from how she winced before crying in her mom's arms after 3-2 Hashimoto last Saturday, it's probably that time of the month. With Zennihon Takkyu 2024 less than two weeks away, most of them have also been suppressing their form.
  17. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    That's the LGL serve.
  18. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Good thing Matushima is not going to WTTC 2024 and Paris 2024 after what he said before WYC 2023 and what ultimately happened. Another teammate killer in the making.
  19. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Harimoto 2-3 Matsushima (8, 4, -9, 7, -10) I think this is the first-ever win for Matsushima, domestically or internationally. Harimoto was cruising through the first 2 games and was trying out new things like playing farther behind the table on the FH, then he stopped somewhere in G3 and...
  20. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Duda 2-3 ML (-4, 9, 7, -7, -7) Duda got duped by ML's body language in G4, especially after coming out of the TO at 5:3. KM 2-3 Grandma Ni (-2, 5, -7, 6, -6) Polcanova has been in a slump since mid-2023.
