Chances of ZYL playing Ito seems rather slim in this tournament but that will be interesting ;)

Two separate players forums during SG Smash - one for CNT and another for rest of the world. LGL seems he is only wearing the CTTA President hat this time ;)

Doo looking like she was the one who retired for the past couple of years... or is ZYL just living up to her moniker of civil queen? :p

Lol that was a really difficult saying I had to google. I actually think ZYL got a reasonable first round draw. DHK's play style is not unfamiliar (?) and probably not the most threatening to her (compared to young powerful types or pips attacker I imagine). OTOH, I know this is SG Smash...

I would love to see Hirano vs ZYL for old time's sake, if both of them can get through their first round opponents. The last they fought was Asian Cup 2019?

Not sure where is a good place to post but CTTA just announced their criteria for WTTC 2025. Pardon my unprofessional translation. （一） 获得2024年巴黎奥运会乒乓球项目冠军的运动员自动获得2025年世乒赛决赛单打项目参赛资格。资格接受情况需在国际乒联最后一次换人截止时间前5天确认。 (1) Gold medalists from Paris 2024 Olympics would automatically qualify, but need...

A bit of a stray question but, is Hayata wearing an official team jersey? Interesting design :cool:

Hirano is probably safe now that Rui is the head coach and seems to think well of her. Ito is likely the one who needs the results more I guess.

Togami proving he's not a teammate killer. Woots! 内戰王じゃない!

Hijacking this thread. Seems like new men and women's head coaches have been announced as Seiya Kishikawa and Nakazawa Rui.

CYY is already included by CNT for Asian Cup by making the finals. Winning Harimoto will be a confidence boost. Conflicted here, has always like Tomo but CYY has been on my radar ever since CTTSL.

If LA 2028 turns out to be the Odo Cup like how Tokyo 2020 was Ito Cup, then Kuai Man is going hahaha

Matsushima looks like he was forced to play with Miwa by Kinoshita and doesn't really want to communicate beyond the bare minimum lol.

Considering Japan's top leftie is injured and Kihara will probably be unable to replicate Ito's achievements as a pips user, now is arguably one of the best times for Nagasaki to step up.

Putting my bet on ZYL to win this!

gone.

Hayata looks like she's recovered relatively well, but can only maintain her explosiveness for one/two games?

Drama ~

Just realised the only person left from this era who still has a WR is actually... ZYL!

ML is not on my list anymore
