QTTA (prounced Kutta) Hayata

No doubt about it. First Asian Games MS medal since Li Ching's bronze at Doha 2006. Second MS medal in history as well. Beating M. Yoshimura and LYJ in one go is quite a feat. Sorry to LYJ but better luck next time...

It's said the spectators even yelled "Resign, Ma Lin!" after WD QF yesterday. 我亲耳听到场上有人在喊：马琳下课！ https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8627467638

Off the top of my head, LJK has actually lost a few doubles matches in major events but still the CNT wasn't too concerned, much to the chagrin of the fanboys and fangirls. It's a warning sign on the women's side, though, given SYS/WMY and CM/WYD are the former and reigning WTTC Champions and...

Hirano/Nagasaki: Did we lose our partners just now? Harimoto/Kihara: Yes

China has significantly cut back on doubles training since it was replaced by team event at Beijing 2008. Similarly, LGL even said they never trained for XD before it became a new event at Tokyo 2020. At the WTTC 2009, as a gesture and part of the program called 养狼计划 (Wolf-Raising Plan, akin...

AFAIK, the JTTA has not revealed the reasoning. I guess they are trying out possible pairs (with Hirano) for Paris 2024, which is a really bold move given the weight of ATTC 2023 and Asian Games 2022. Now it's confirmed Harimoto is a choice better than Ito for WT...

No MS medal for Harimoto and LYJ. Yet, MS medal for JWJ and WCT!

China out in WD.

To have a chance against China, Hayata needs to show the same dominance she has on her teammates. Back in the Tokyo 2020 cycle, Hirano (from late-2016 to mid-2017) and Ito (from early-2018 or mid-2018 to late 2019 or early 2020) showed dominance against teammates and overseas players, but the...

A disaster for JPN. Even Hayata played below par. Hate to say it, but CIC lost to her injuries.

The opposite, from what I could gather. Be confused.

Nice sarcastic smile at the incompetent team management.

Catching covid for the first time, then playing T. League kickoff (backup link, 09/28/2023 at 1:54pm), then injuring his wrist (backup link, 09/09/2023 at 2:29pm), how much of a role do they play in Harimoto's results at ATTC 2023 and Asian Games 2022?

Yes, Hayata and Hirano mention that, too. This final was even better than the one at Asian Games 2014, despite losing 0-3 versus 1-3, because they had a fighting chance in all 3 of them. And that's why I'd been telling Ishikawa and have started telling Ito to retire. For Ito, her value in WS...

This one just out. Former CNT players such as Hao Shuai on who should use and why use H3 and grippy rubbers. According to Cheong Chi Cheng from Macau, the reason he doesn't use H3 is because he doesn't have enough power and that makes him prone to injury above a certain training intensity...

LYJ/CSY out in XD R32. Paranang claims another victim. XD R32 TPE 0-3 THA 911 78, 98, 911 21, 22, 32, 33, 43, 46, 56, 57, 67, 69 epic point from THA, 89 TO for THA, 810, 910, 911 LYJ: What happened?
