I speculate the CNT might've cast the "drain(脱力/datsuryoku)" spell on Ito. QJX: Just as planned.

Mizutani: Don't lose to yourself!!

I'll be rooting for Ishikawa senpai!!! Ike ike, Ishikawa!

The one who gets Qiu Jianxin, gets the world. Mizutani, Ishikawa... I feel bad for Yoshida. He's reached the SF multiple times.

"Their table tennis is different." ~ Koki Niwa https://rallys.online/topic/alljapan/210116niwakoki/ Behind the young players in technique, Niwa switched to tacky rubber on BH in this tournament to strengthen the spin on his chiquita and pushes. It worked well in training but he couldn't...

Zennoh: We did our best fixing the draw. The rest is up to you, Ishikawa-san. Ito misses a lot of FH kills. She keeps on stalling anyway. Disappointing performance from Ito. Kept stalling the whole match. Not a sign of confidence.

Ito is doing what she has said starting from G2 but she keeps stalling when it gets tight. Hayata has a new serve or two up her sleeve as well.

WS Final.

The Germany at the last Team World Cup was there just to get a feel and test the water as Boll or Ovtcharov said. They were tired from the long flight. Some teams didn't even send their best players. No Falck for Sweden and Calderano for Brazil.

When Harimoto lost, you know what's in my heart? Homura. Still, he should have a fair chance in singles just because of the 2 per NOC limit(less players to look out for), but for team event the outlook is really grim. Had Tokyo 2020 been held on time, Boll would've been pushed around in...

Niwa: 2nd title in the bag! NOT!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIo0WCq17Z8

It might not be a bad idea for Japan to just call off Tokyo 2020+1 after this?

A minute of silence for Sato who managed to take a game.

https://rallys.online/topic/alljapan/210115togami-ws4/ Poor Togami and 2 other close contacts had to withdraw because of that. https://rallys.online/topic/alljapan/210115alljapan-ws6/ Hayata indirectly confirmed Odo's performance. Saying her form was not bad despite 3 matches on her opening...

Odo was having a blast the past few days, creaming players left and right. The only time she had trouble was in the JG SF against 面田 采巳/OMODA Kotomi.

Choppers have a really hard time this year. Hashimoto out in R1(R4). Sato barely made it out in R1 and hopefully R2. On the junior side, I see a big wave coming up this year, especially on the girl's side. Miwa Harimoto will have many companions/competitors. LGL was right to start the...

That's how the FLared handle should look. The "uneven" recess is normal. A flared handle gets wider towards the bottom. That means the handle piece was placed flat when being processed on the CNC. Good QC there.

JTTA has just posted the selection criteria for WTT Middle East. http://www.jtta.or.jp/Portals/0/images/player/selection/20210109_wtt_chuto.pdf Forgot to post these. Ito's 3 aspects of evolution during COVID-19 and Harimoto's FH makeover in the eyes of Japanese coach Takahiro Oribe. His...
