The ump doesn't like Hugo.

Is it just me or has Ovtcharov come up with a new pendulum serve?

I don't know about that. She said in an interview she wanted to retire and marry at 25. She said not too long ago that she would give it everything for Tokyo 2020 and then decide what to do after that.

She doesn't force her shots as much now. Took her 2 years to realize that wouldn't work. Still, her timing is a big issue, stemming from poor anticipation. She doesn't gauge the incoming shots that well.

LOL. A guy yelled in Cantonese after game 2: "中國大姐大丁寧, 好嘢!"(China's big sister Ding Ning, good going!)

I blame CM for the loss. She said in an interview yesterday that she felt the heat of partnering with XX. OTOH, Harimoto/Ishikawa were so brave they kept serving long in the endgame. WCT/DHK were like thank you so much.

Kihara is over 5 inches taller than Ito. She's the next tallest on the JNT behind Hayata. It's much harder for Ito to keep up in the rallies unless she goes for the kill at every chance she gets.

Coach to Yu Ziyang at 9:10, "play with speed." Pucar 6:10 -> 11:13...Shit!

Pistej is like a kid.

8:3, 8:8, 9:9, 9:11... Hayata's Olympic dream is farther than ever. Still a lot of work on the balance b/w aggressiveness and consistency for the top JNT players, except my idol Ishikawa. They don't feel comfortable when having a big lead. Just aren't used to it.

I'll be impressed if she wins the whole thing. She needs it to play the Diamond event.

A bunch of this.

Not really surprised.

Lifting as in removing. https://cdn.vpn7.net/eu/2019/04/AGM_BoD_book_EN_2019.pdf

Heck, they're seriously looking into lifting the 85% limit on blade.

Not if you're a paying member of zhibo.tv.

That's where the conspiracy theories come in. Some people suspected the ITTF and the major manufacturers were in collusion.

The glorious motive is for health reasons and sport image, often citing the Agenda 21. The ulterior motive is to slow the game down, as Sharara put it on multiple occasions. There are also conspiracy theories that manufacturers like Butterfly and/or ESN want it banned for various reasons.
