  1. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    If only it's not Tokyo 2020. Japan is aiming for nothing less than silver medals in singles, team, and XD. Well, that WAS the plan. Also, LGL has said that the chance of dropping gold is actually the highest for XD. They have only 1 shot.
  2. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    C'mon, I thought we've been clear on that. Ishikawa and Hirano playing singles and Ito playing team. That's the best lineup for China.
  3. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    OMG, see who's making excuses here. Not giving credit to Kato and Ishikawa when they do well? I'm sorry, but if they've done well, Ishikawa would've played singles only in the TWC and Kato should've made the team. The point of contention here has always been that Hayata is the best candidate...
  4. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Let me try again. In Chinese sports forums, there's this common term as "一場論", which roughly translates to "judging a player by one match". Post #1147 is a hands-on application of that.
  5. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    You're telling me.
  6. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Ya, right. If we go by the score, Ando should go. That makes so much logical sense.
  7. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    2nd best case scenario for China. Hayata is out now that Hirano is practically out of the singles race. JNT will be forced to go with Mizutani/Ito for the XD and forgo the MT.
  8. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    That new kick serve by Hashimoto and Sato, especially the latter, really stings. Many players had so much trouble receiving it and in Hirano's case, it broke her flow so bad after G2. She's fortunate to have taken G1 and G3 really quick to force Sato to use it early on so that she could...
  9. Same equipment for everyone, what would it be?

    I'm sorry but your proposition is built on a false premise. Put simply, you want to have it all while not wanting it all at the same time. One thing in common for sandpaper, hardbat, and large ball(which I think is what you mean by big ball) is that they allow only one type of surface. This...
  10. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    One netizen in China actually made the comment that Kato had the easiest draw a few days ago and it turned out to be right. Well, the upper half became way easier once Hayata got taken out by Guo Yuhan, who in turn got taken out by Wang Xiaotong, and then when Kato took out Li Jiayi, who in...
  11. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    G4, 10:5, 10:8, TO for Ishikawa, 10:10. Pot Stirrer Kato online. 11:10, 12:11, 13:12, 15:13.
  12. Same equipment for everyone, what would it be?

    And then proceeded by suggesting a setup that prevents two-wing looping. :rolleyes:
  13. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Mizutani's chance of reaching the SF is infinitely close to 0. From Kurashima's response, the JNT is going to turn a blind eye, given the situation they're in. https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/sports/table-tennis/1650186/
  14. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    How did Wang Xiaotong take out Guo Yuhan?
  15. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    European players fare better here. Jet lag? Beijing is 13 hours ahead right now and Tokyo is 14.
  16. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Li Jiayi lives to die another day. Batra did everything she could.
  17. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    Zhang Qiang ate like 6 serves in G1. Ishikawa is gonna win.
