His losses to Niwa and LSS qualify as big upsets, perhaps even greater than the one to Baum.

I expect DO to lose before he could reach the QF. He's so far down on the ranking now, that there's a very good chance he will meet China this time in the Rd of 16, provided he doesn't crash out before that. DO's WTTC Journeys: 2017 - Rd of 16, losing to Koki Niwa 3-4 2015 - Rd of 64, losing...

I'm not optimistic like many are here. Hong Kong TTA proposed for the removal of 2.4.2(85% wood limit) at the AGM 2016 and it was narrowly defeated(73.45% vs 75% majority needed). Then at the AGM 2017, Hong Kong TTA and Korean TTA proposed for the amendment to 2.4.2 and it was badly...

How did that even happen? I thought they used a square cutter.

They are going with the original lineup posted on Mar 29. As always, it is subject to change before the entry deadline. http://www.jtta.or.jp/tournament/tabid/125/rptid/472/Default.aspx

Tenosynovitis in the root of his ring finger, commonly known as trigger finger.

The JNT has decided to withdraw the XD entry of Harimoto/Ishikawa at the upcoming WTTC. M. Yoshimura/Ishikawa will replace them. https://oes.ittf.com/view/event/entries/e33449f4-4cc0-4383-b6a2-d151aa14e33c/detail#ent_JPN

FZD actually addressed that question in a recent interview. I'm still thinking whether I should sub it...because it's long.

Austria is actually not a bad choice. Ding Yi started the whole 海外兵團(overseas Chinese factions) when he started representing Austria in 1983. Together with Qian Qianli and Chen Weixing, they have improved the international standing of Austrian table tennis. Liu Yanjun, another coach who still...

In case it's not obvious, in line 8 is Tosin Ogunode, who shares the same backstory as his brother Femi Ogunode. The two Africans have competed at the Asian Games.

There's more to that loss than meets the eyes. Harimoto's ring finger was in serious pain. He said he first had pain on day 2 of Qatar Open. It flared up after the SF at Asian Cup. It got so bad he had to call a medical TO. Kurashima even told him to withdraw but he kept going, saying that...

Expect the unexpected - Men's 100m at Asian Games 2018

From the players' perspective, it's totally normal for them to chase after their dreams. It happens all the time in other sports. For table tennis, back then it was very common for the Jews to represent multiple countries over their careers... Dora Beregi represented Hungary, then England...

Not allegations at all. She will enter the Slovenian Open representing Austria. From the limited reports so far, no one on the JNT knew about this.

ZYL isn't called "專殺熟" for nothing. Yet, CM stuck to her nickname - Ms Open. She has never won the Asian Cup, or anything continental and beyond for that matter. WTTC 2019 will be the last straw if she wants to play at Tokyo 2020. Even reaching the final won't be enough.
