Weikert said back in 2014 that TV broadcasters didn't want to carry table tennis because they didn't know how long matches could last. T2 offers an alternative. https://www.sportcal.com/News/FeaturedNews/99567

I'm not so sure. We have a Chinese-looking Jew here who identifies herself as Jewish because her grand grand grandfather was Jewish.

It frustrates me even MOAR to see 2 ethnic Chinese being cited as examples. So friggin' frustrating that the world has to turn to the Chinese to beat THE Chinese! If you can't beat them, join them, or ban them like the 'Murica!

Mizutani said after his 1st round loss to LYJ that he's gotten weaker such that his strike zone is so narrow, but he will bounce back from here on out as he will work with a new private coach starting this August, rumored to be a friend he made when he played in the TTBL years ago...

Any discussion is premature at this point. 1st of all, many players are visibly drained after 2 months of non-stop action. Quite a few of them are also not familiar with the match format. It won't hurt to wait until the next 2 stops of T2 wrap up before making judgment. FWIW, some of the...

Many feel the same about his badminton commentary... https://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/index.php?threads/john-burgess-he-should-commentate-more-tournaments.171073/

They have said time and time again. The T2 is an experimental platform, sort of a lab. Not a bad thing. We need real top players to test things out. ITTF under Sharara used to test rules out in some never-heard-of competitions in remote countries that I couldn't even locate on the world map.

Believe it or not. John Burgess used to be the go-to commentator for ITTF 10 years ago. He commentates for many other sports as well.

Oh, things are different this time. If I interpret the rules right, LSW will automatically qualify as the current World Champ per rule 1.2, and Zhu Yuling will qualify as the Asian Cup winner per rule 2.2. https://ittf.cdnomega.com/eu/2019/02/MWC_WWC_QUAL_SYSTEM.pdf

Hate to be right.

The reason is that Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng will play in the World Cup.

I thought it'd be the ATTC and T2 CHN in Sep?

Essentially everyone is beat after 2 packed months, CHN OPN, HKG OPN, JPN OPN, KOR OPN, AUS OPN, T2 MYS.

Oh, of course. They gotta attend. 400 extra pts in the worst case scenario. ML and LSW agree as well.

$5000 alone is well worth the trip.

5:1, 5:8, 6:8, 6:9, 7:9, 7:11 You know the drill.

Who knows. They could be lying low.
