It's different. Even Ito says SYS is stronger in the rallies and she's the underdog. She's supposed to lose. OTOH, CIC is the underdog and Ito is supposed to win relatively at ease.

As I've stressed over the years, stats don't matter when it comes to the major. Yoo Namkyu knew they were the underdog. Choi Hyojoo and Shin Yubin served the role of what would be called 奇兵 in Chinese, loosely "surprise soldier". It's in the news. They had no chance with Suh Hyowon and Yang...

Had the same Hayata been born in China and South Korea, the folks would make the exception. They'd patch her up. They'd make her top 10. Just like how the unpolished LXX was only there to pair with Guo Yue when the higher-ups thought it was not good to just have Guo Yue alone. Same for Li...

There's only 1 left-hander among the 7 core players currently - DN, LSW, CM, ZYL, WMY, SYS, CXT. So they need another one to replenish ASAP. She's not here "on her own". Everything has a meaning when it comes to the CNT.

This is why in China they often quote the proverb "陰溝裡翻船", literally "to capsize in calm water", or to fail miserably where failure was not expected. Remain on alert. Never get cocky. https://cn.ittf.com/2019/11/jeon-jihee-in-depth-interview/ Hirano Miu, who lost to Zhang An(Lily Zhang) in...

Did I hear someone say Ito is what?

Ito looks half-awake, dropping 5 in a row after 10:7 in G1. CIC came prepared for real this time. She knows where Ito will move and hit next. G5, 3:0, 3:4, TO by Matsuzaki. Didn't help. Still a good time to call TO, though. G7, 3:1, TO for CIC. 5:1, 5:5, aha! CIC knows where to move...

It didn't raise my heartbeat but I wouldn't say they crushed Romania at the TWC, when they had troubles in the doubles and Dodean managed to force Ishikawa into the final game. South Korea gave them a big scare in the SF, even Miyazaki admitted it.

CNT don't give any shit over: 世界第一(World No. 1); 世界巡迴賽(World Tours) They look at: 實績(hard results) = 大賽(majors) Don't let my time and effort go to waste. Get yourself familiar with their 主導思想(guiding ideologies), AKA table tennis with Chinese characteristics...

Seriously, noob makes me cry...

After being down 0-2, XX: Remember your 黨性, ZZH.

For the sake of completeness. Retire, Ishikawa.

Retire, Ishikawa.

As she said in a recent interview, she was under so much pressure from the race that she couldn't play at her normal level. Now that she's ahead, she has nothing to worry. Still, nothing comes of nothing.

Retire.

C'mon, Ishikawa!

石川攞到44分我批個頭俾你當凳坐

Yoo Namkyu. They need a left-hander.

The rule used to specify the angle and then was changed. Yet, in the Handbook for Match Officials, there's a diagram, sort of like a guideline of what's acceptable and what's not. From what I could see, they have cameras at least 2 in the back and 2 on each side pointing at the players. So...
