http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/pingpang/2018-12-13/doc-ihmutuec8859243.shtml Regarding the bracket, Ishikawa treated it with a normal heart: "The finals (regardless of) is very high, so I think it is almost the same as anyone." As the game unfolded, the two sides contributed a wonderful...

Hirano out, too. Only CNT maid Ishikawa left!

Ishikawa, Hayata and Ito are serving into the net left and right. What's going on? Higher air density due to lower temp? Something to do with table 1? Woohoo...!!!

Can't believe this has not been fixed after the afternoon session. The audio is out of sync, behind by roughly 250ms. Fix it if you're reading this, ITTF!

Adham Sharara actually pointed out the problems with Europe in 2009, a month after China swept ALL possible medals, 17 out 20 at the WTTC. http://sports.cctv.com/20090610/100895.shtml After watching the China World Table Tennis Match, Sharara said in an interview that "the ITTF and the China...

I'm serious here. That's how Schlager described Europe right before WTTC 2013. The news was picked up by Chinese media. https://sportv2.orf.at/stories/2181820/2181845/ "Are still in the Stone Age" Austria's table tennis aces Werner Schlager, Chen Weixing and Liu Jia experienced it once...

The stadium looks really cold. No heating? 1st CNT casualty. The 3rd game was close. After dropping the 2nd game, Chen Bin told Liu/Zhang to push to BH of Hayata/Ito. When that didn't work, they immediately switched tactics to open the point up ASAP. This is where you see Hayata/Ito have...

Service error @ 5:9 in the final game. Just retire, Ishikawa!

A little background on Masataka's dad, Makoto Morizono. He is a former player and he runs the Mitaka Club. Winner in singles and doubles of the Kansai Students Championships 1986. Here's a match video of him from this July. In an interview last year, Masataka used the word "terror" to...

Danny21312. That'd explain a lot of stuff. /s

Because the others are so bad?

Star Awards 2018 live on ITTV - https://tv.ittf.com/livestream/star-awards/1413023 I knew RSM has spent time in the US to work on his English, but WOW...he's so much better now!

FTW has a chance making past the 1st round. Nice! He Zhuojia doesn't like choppers here. Hirano and Ishikawa are like honey and bees.

Nice timing. Was going to post about them. For those unfamiliar, Matsushima is one ambitious table tennis family. They have an impressive family tree. Both dad Takashi and mom Yumi are former players and now coach at Tasaka Takkyu Kaikan. They have 4 kids, Sora, Toa, Miku and Aira. If I'm...

While our kidults flog a dead rubber in the WJTTC thread, Japan is wasting no time in learning from China. As I've pointed out numerous times, JNT is going about TT more and more like CNT by the day. To put it in context, now Japan wants to kick-start their kids at the age of 3, whereas kids...

Can't be helped. European FH has regressed so much from the 90's. Looks so chicken now.

Joking aside, Uda had this to say after losing to Xu Haidong in the final. Xu changed his service from the 2nd game. The topspin and backspin jab serve caused Uda tons of trouble. He was forced to use chiquita, but that turned into the BH rallies and he lost them all. Overall, poor receiving...

Japan is even more aggressive than China now.

ITTF punishment for boycott, help boost ticket sales for 2018. Austrian Open Boosting ticket sales, check. Withdraw. Swedish Open Boosting ticket sales, check. Withdraw. Grand Finals Boosting ticket sales, check. Withdraw.

This is what Europe needs, a badass FH. You can't beat China with BH alone.
