Gotta stay humble. CM: 😒 Ito: Didn't play me! x1 Hirano: Didn't play me! x2 Ishikawa: Didn't play me! x3 😭

It goes back even further. She has been playing non-stop since June. After winning the ATTC trial, she went straight into preparing for Tokyo 2020 as the reserve player with Ito/Ishikawa/Hirano.

Whoa, it's been 4 years since I wrote this during WTTC 2017. Asian Champion in WS, WT and XD. What more can you ask for? http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78106&PID=982527&title=2017-wttc-germany-may-29jun-5#982527

Japan is the new South Korea. Uda/Togami blasting shot after shot past JWJ/LJH Korean-style is hilarious. No wonder the latter pair couldn't help but smile.

Hayata could have won in 3 games against Shibata but insisted on killing every shot at every opportunity and almost ended up killing herself.

Shindong: Thank you Ando, and thank you Hayata. I have a losing track record against my seon bae JJH.

BTW, JTTA announced their WTTC lineup 3 weeks ago. Togami: I am fitter for Hayata! Harimoto: Do you have an Olympic medal? I have hugged her before. Have you? https://hochi.news/articles/20210912-OHT1T51222.html 2021世界卓球選手権ヒューストン大会(個人戦)　出場種目決定 https://jtta.or.jp/news/3084 ITTF世界選手権ヒューストン大会...

Miyazaki answers some of the questions raised during an online interview with the press. The last one happens to be the most interesting. https://rallys.online/read/210913paris-miyazaki/ Regarding the seeding for the Olympic team event, isn't the world ranking important? Through the...

More details of the revamped selection system was published by JTTA 3 weeks ago. Interesting comment by Miyazaki on borrowing China's model. Bad news for uchibenkei players. Ishikawa: 😰 https://rallys.online/read/210912paris-senko/ "Domestic players compete fiercely in domestic league matches...

Kizukuri just made amends by beating CCA in singles. That's more like it. Thought it was a walk in the park in the team? https://results.ittf.com/ittf-web-results/html/TTE5324/results.html#/profile/119794

Kurashima sheds light on his decision to step down from the JNT. He'll serve as the head coach of the table tennis club at Kinoshita Group from Oct, 2021 and focus on grooming the next generations for Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032. https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/12651 "I worked...

Hayata and Ishida learned from the last match. Ditched the typical game plan from the get-go. Not a single pendulum serve. Either the shovel serve or the semi-tomahawk serve. Hardly any FH rallies, let alone a FH winner. What an experience for Hayata to avoid forcing a step-around the entire...

Uda didn't make the team. He lost to Matsushima and Mizutani in the group stage of ATTC 2021 trial. Uda's presence would likely not help here, given his poor showing at WTT Doha a week ago. Kizukuri is the one to blame here. He and Ando just lost in the XD.

Now the Japanese folks question their own selection system? LOL... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-huMqbEWPrA

Some thoughts on the match b/w Hayata and JJH at WTT Doha before the rematch at ATTC team final b/w Japan and South Korea moments later. Hayata's form was neither good nor bad. It was just that JJH could go toe to toe with Hayata's FH and even had the upper hand in FH rallies, as noted by JJH's...
