  1. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    It would've been much nicer to list the whole thing instead. Those players were responsible for imitating Lee Ho Ching, Doo Hoi Kem and Cheng I-Ching. From the order, it's obvious they are dead last and so considered to pose the least threat. List released circa 2017/5/11, between ATTC 2017...
  2. Zhou Qihao vs Matsushima now

    Still "overrated" as I would've been told, despite being the reigning continental bronze grand slam holder, and getting the Asian Games bronze by beating LYJ 4-3 in QF (3 H2H 3 after that match). MS World Cup 2016 bronze Asian Games 2022 bronze ATTC 2015 bronze Asian Cup 2016 bronze
  3. Which Hurricane 3 version?

    Actually, it's the other way around. ESN are by far the most secretive. They even state that they choose to stay behind the scene deliberately. Butterfly are even better than them. DHS are the most open among the three. For one thing, ESN have the least patent applications, next to nothing...
  4. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Sankei Sports reports that JTTA has filed a formal protest against ITTF for the policy change while expressing the desire to participate after the deadline and wants to reach a compromise with the ITTF. Tリーグ中国選手の帰国措置解除 日本の混合団体W杯参加方針受け/卓球...
  5. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Mizutani still can't leave it behind and takes this chance to play victim and blast the T2 Diamond that ultimately caused him to miss out on the MS of Tokyo 2020. Tリーグ 中国選手が一転出場へ W杯日本不参加へ対抗措置通告も数日で事態急転 https://hochi.news/articles/20231106-OHT1T51241.html?page=1...

  7. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    Once again, check out the Harimoto back at World Cup 2020. I have no clue what caused him to deviate, but it's likely along the line what LGL touched on in early 2018 - coaching. Hayata has been rotating between multiple coaches recently probably for that reason as well...

  9. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    Have you ever competed? Players have this tendency to 鑽牛角尖/my way or the highway, especially the better they are. Take Hayata, it took her the previous Olympic cycle to stop herself from hitting "bazooka", as Ishida put it, at every chance she gets. That's 悟性/comprehension, often referred to...
  10. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    More on Harimoto. He says LYJ had a few more serve variations than himself and that got him confused. The match was decided in G1 and G3, namely when he missed the FH loopkill on the loose ball at 6:2 of G1 and then the FH loopkill that got blocked back at 6:6 of G3. For this match, he says...
  11. ITTF World Cup to Come Back in 2024

    CTTA must've been the biggest force behind it since they award points for both singles and team editions of World Cup in their own selection system.
  12. ITTF World Cup to Come Back in 2024

    So that's why "WTT Cup Finals" was changed to "WTT Finals". https://documents.ittf.sport/sites/default/files/public/2023-07/2023-03-17_EB_Minutes_p.pdf https://documents.ittf.sport/sites/default/files/public/2023-08/2023-05-22_28_EB_Minutes_p.pdf
  13. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2023, Chengdu, 12/4-10

    Just in. CNT players will return to the T.League. Xu Chenhao will be the first one. It is suggested in the article that CTTA, JTTA and ITTF have made some kind of arrangements. 早くも中国選手の渡航禁止が解除。翻弄されるTリーグ https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/133729 Aha, so that's the "arrangement"...
  14. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    WYD says she was rather lucky in beating WMY, that she never thought it would be in straight games, that she thought the title was in the bag being up 10:3 in G4 and was in a little panick after losing several points, that her mental state kept fluctuating. She also points out the match that...
  15. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    Jokes aside, China will likely maintain the status quo and LYJ will still play under Chinese Taipei. More medals.

    There is even a technical term for it in Chinese. 正手小三角/FH small triangle, that is the shakehand equivalent of 反手小三角/BH small triangle for penhold. Inherent weakness of the two grips, respectively.
