Liu Jie is now with Chinese Taipei. As far as I know, she was never Ito's coach, but she coached the MiuMima pair. On changing coach, my stance is still the same as in 2017 when folks thought Ito should ditch Matsuzaki. Matsuzaki used to work for a semiconductor design company. He resigned...

Wong Chun Ting has pulled out of the MWC. Aruna will replace him. Niwa: WTGF... Mizutani: >_<

松崎太佑(MATSUZAKI Taisuke) has been coaching Ito since she started junior high school. 石田大輔(ISHIDA Daisuke) has been coaching Hayata since she was an elementary school student. Hirano has had several coaches over the years - 劉潔(LIU Jie) from 2013/4，中澤鋭/王銳(NAKAZAWA Rui/WANG Rui) from...

Not really in the race, but Nagasaki just lost to Amy Wang of USA in the JGT QF of the WJTTC.

Ito adjusted pretty well here. She missed many FHs but in time pinned SYS down to the BH. First time in a while to see she doesn't rely on her serve as much. Check out the muscle imbalance.

Ito doesn't serve to SYS's short FH much in this match. Saving it for later? Aha. She saved it for G4.

JJH saw it. I take it she must be hallucinating? This is the service that we're talking about here, where the ball must bounce twice on the table, once on the other side, and once on your own side. The 1st bounce dictates the 2nd bounce. Players draw cues from these two before committing...

I have an NHK program where some eggheads find that Harimoto and Ito track the balls differently. Harimoto tracks the incoming ball just before(.03s) impact. Ito doesn't track the incoming ball after it lands on her half. The problem here is they didn't show them serving so I can't draw any...

The service is the only phase of a point where a player is in complete control. Ito knew ahead of time where her serve would've landed, better than anyone. It was a kick serve, for which slight deviations are easy to pick up. There's no way she didn't know. Her eyes were staring at the ball...

I've given away edges in club matches that I believed were mine but the opponent said otherwise and I wasn't 100% certain. This one was too obvious for Ito to not notice. The trajectory deviated so much from its intended landing zone.

The ugly side of humanity in its fullness will be on display.

All right, now we have Hirano denying let in WTTC 2017, Ishikawa denying edge in TWC 2019, and Ito denying let in T2 Singapore. I'm not sure if Hayata should be added for what happened in Polish Open 2019 since the video quality is so shit to tell.

BTW, the MWC will implement video challenge.

Video challenge!! Ito caught cheating red-handed!
