  1. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    ATTC 2023? ML/WCQ has been playing since WTTC 2019. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93442&PID=1144581&title=attc-2023-pyeongchang-9-310#1144581
  2. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    MS R32 ZQH 2-3 QD (6, -10, -4, 7, -9) Jorgic 3-1 Uda (11, 5, -11, 3) Acceptable result for Uda after coming back from his low back injury. WD QF Polcanova/Szocs 3-0 ZR/KM (4, 11, 7)
  3. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    MS R32 Togami 3-2 Freitas (8, 9, -8, -12, 7) G5 55, 57 TO for Togami, 117, 6 in a row. Who was coaching at the bench? WS R32 Dragoman 0-3 Harimoto (-17, -6, -7) Dragoman played well in G1. Would've been much harder for Harimoto had she gotten that game.
  4. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    XD QF Ionescu/Szocs 3-2 Harimoto/Hayata (-6, 6, -8, 7, 8) Hayata was way off and Harimoto failed to carry the pair.
  5. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    You have to show me an example because he doesn't do it under typical situations. Even Kreanga doesn't do it all the time. JYS vs LJK [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/-qMNm3ne1xY?t=2489[/url] JYS vs FZD [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/CtLAb0U9Pso?t=3445[/url] Kreanga vs Kim Minseok BH...
  6. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    The field for LA 2028 will be far more contested. It's still early to tell how competitive it will be, but there are at least 5 more up-and-coming players besides Harimoto. Continuing from where I left off (11/12/2022 at 3:52am): Hirano (2000/4/14) Hayata (2000/7/7) Ito (2000/10/21) Nagasaki...

  8. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    Not your average table tennis fans (whales for WTT). Each of them can afford US$1300 on ticket alone. A far cry from how the Western media portrays the Chinese economy. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-finals-women-nagoya-2023.32504/post-436689
  9. WTT Star Contender Doha 2024

    4th first round exit for A. Lebrun. My fear is coming true. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=91109&PID=1147874&title=short-video-about-felix-lebrun#1147874...
  10. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    It is open to interpretation. In theory, FH and BH should be close to a mirror image of each other. In practice, though, the biomechanics involved is more nuanced for BH. To keep it simple, the FH loop (slow, fast or what not) looks essentially like an enlarged FH counterhit. OTOH, to...
  11. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    I wouldn't say they are useless. I actually have a few forms of the BH topspin stroke depending on the incoming ball. The one geared toward recovery hits more in front of the stomach with more elbow, forearm and wrist. The one geared toward point-finishing power hits more to the side with...
  12. What do you call this?

    Fun fact: MLin actually played penhold twiddling with LP when he entered the CNT.
  13. FZD - will he be the next Wang Hao?

    WLQ played till age 35. ML even mentioned him in an interview at WTT CS Frankfurt 2023 (see link below). Both of them have similar win rate at that age. I wouldn't say FZD did not have stiff competition (first major debut at WTTC 2013 in MS, WTTC 2015 in MD and WTTC 2019 in XD). Rather, it's...

  16. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    It baffles me that some 5ch users think Yokoi and the like should represent Japan just because of a few league match wins and how the selection system bails out the golden generation by "下駄を履かせる/grading on a curve". https://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/pingpong/1702954586/717-
  17. What do you call this?

    It used to be a very common style in East Asia up until the 90s. 王秋伊/Wang Qiuyi (Zhang Yining's sparring partner) vs Wong Chun Ting https://www.sohu.com/a/237623485_492554 齊寶華/Chai Bo Wah (former HKG player from mainland China) vs Yang Mengting

  19. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    There were so few FHs in that match, like Hirano said in the post-match interview. The first point won on the FH didn't come until 5:3 of G1, and it was won on the 3rd ball with Yokoi serving. Most of the other points were won or lost on the BH. Both of them were missing a lot of FHs. If I...
  20. WTT Finals Men Doha 2023

    You could hear the unease in FB and Fang Yinchi even in G3 (at 12:28 of the douyin video). He also made note of Harimoto's FH issue when dealing with jamming shots, not moving his feet which Harimoto knew about in 2019 and alleviated (not eliminated) in 2022. https://v.douyin.com/iLJc6UuD
