    Namely Taipei and South Korea(if they could get it straight), as Ishikawa/Hirano are shaky as a pair and have lost to CSY/CHT and JJH/SYB before. And to a lesser extent, Hong Kong and Singapore, depending how well DHK and FTW play on the day. Germany and North Korea are not the same as the one...
  8. What does the Japanese Women's Team have to do to beat China in Tokyo 2020?

    They should worry about getting past the other teams first. Remember the lessons from Rio 2016 and TWC 2019. Even with Hayata on the team, their chance is way below 50%. Imagine their odds with Ishikawa-senpai...
  9. Why are pros still warming up with flat drive rallies?

    AFAIK, players are most concerned with roundness of the ball. Starting with flat hits is the most effective way to see if the ball has cracks, soft spots, wobbles and/or makes weird bounces etc. In the video below, you can see ML checks for cracks and/or soft spots within the first several hits.

  16. Ratings Central is back

    Had a good laugh. Ovtcharov should be way down. Harimoto behind LYJ? Come on. WCQ and LJK. How long did these 2 spend in the qualification stage? Honestly, the ITTF's one is more like it, except for Calderano and Falck. Same for the women's. Ishikawa at 16, above CIC at 18 and FTW at 20...
