I gave her a pass and counted only the singles, how nice of me! If you count the doubles too, it's 18+1 vs 1. Should've gone with that, seeing 1 >>> 0.

谈到半决赛的对手，是世界女王丁宁，本身实力出色，而且她有东道主的优势，石川称已经找到克制丁宁的有效方法：“为了找到战胜丁宁的对策）已经特意找了很多左撇子选手进行针对性的训练，并且苦练了模拟对阵丁宁的接发球训练”，所以她显得信心十足。石川表示要向刚夺得美网女单冠军的大阪直美看齐，“她当时和小威的比赛，也是顶着东道主观众的一边倒应援的巨大压力，最终获胜，所以我也会向她学习！！”强调不会畏惧中国观众给丁宁的热情加油，要做“乒坛大阪直美”，创造奇迹。 When talking about the semi-final opponent, the world's queen Ding Ning...

This is the typical CNT PR, every single time. Li Xiaoxia said she expected a difficult match against Fukuhara in the SF at Rio Olympics. Memory of the outcome is still fresh... You know what's dangerous? When they don't take their opponents seriously. They blame it on "injury" for DN's...

“石川佳纯的球技最近有新的改变和进步，我虽然在8月的保加利亚公开赛战胜了她，但过程比较艰苦，所以，明天的半决赛应该也很艰难，希望自己发挥更好。”丁宁表示。 "Kasumi Ishikawa's skills have recently undergone new changes and progress. Although I defeated her in the Bulgarian Open in August, the match was rather difficult, so tomorrow's semi-final should be very difficult, I...

That gold medal is from the team event at Beijing 2008.

No wonder there are no newcomers in Europe.

Waiting for "the new ITTF ranking system is a joke!"

This is the gulf between China and Europe. I don't have the patience to list out every detail in chronological order here. Just enjoy the next 2 years leading up to Tokyo Olympics. It's gonna be a thrill.

Many in China would argue the golden generation belonged to WLQ, MLin and WH, instead. Together, these 3 literally kept the new wave of hope at bay(Boll, Samsonov and Chuang Chih-Yuan were touted as the new "3 Tigers" back around 2003 before the re-emergence of South Korea) and left not just...

And Ishikawa shaky as ever. Was down 1:2 in games, and 4:8 in game 4.

The players had to qualify in their respective continental cup. The Asian Cup was an invitation event. Hirano was invited as the 2017 Asian Champion. Ishikawa was invited as the WR4. The world ranking in January for Ishikawa, Ito and Hirano was 4, 5 and 6. Poor Ito...

Here's why.

OK, folks are hung up on LGL coming back, and if he'll be coaching. It's greater than that. Take badminton for example. The scene could be described as a warring states period now, with the rise of Japan, Spain, India, Chinese Taipei and the re-emergence of Denmark, along with traditional...

That's pretty much the official answer. And there are equally less foreign players as well. Samsonov took out WLQ in 2001. Boll took out KLH and WLQ in 2002. Boll took out WLQ, MLin, and WH in 2005. RSM took out WLQ and MLin, losing out to WH in the final in 2007. Samsonov took out Chen Qi...

Holy crap. There will very likely be an all-China final after all. Hirano and Ishikawa are drawn in the same quarter.

Of the 3 majors, the World Cup has always been regarded with the least emphasis by the CNT. That's why you see way more upsets for this title than the other two, especially after the previous Olympic cycle - Boll in 2005, Samsonov in 2009, Hirano in 2016, Ovtcharov(or Boll) in 2017.

There will be no all-China final, that's for certain. DN and ZYL will be in the same half. It's been widely reported in the news.

Promotional video done right. ITTF could take a page here. I subbed it so people could get a feel how it's like.
