Seems like Chinese Taipei is gonna give Japan a huge headache in the coming months. CCY has beaten Harimoto in their last few encounters. CIC has been able to stretch Ito to the decider for many times.

Meanwhile, the Chinese girls are...

What's up with the German pair. Why are they struggling against the Romanians?

Nagasaki vs Yuling please.

Forgive my ignorance because I'm not familiar with the US TT Team but what's the rationale behind basing the Olympics line-up entirely on the outcome of the trials? It seems to ignore team dynamics? Have Lily Zhang, Liu Juan and Wang Huijing ever played together for team events, particularly...

I still think she's the CNT's prime choice for Singles but it really depends on the extent of her injury. Perhaps the postponement and cancelation of Opens and WTTTC will allow her to recover more smoothly, although none of it matters if the Olympics does not go on. Some people (mainly SYS's...

Well, only two explanations then, apart from injury prevention reasons. Either she is really not playing Singles or CNT has decided that it doesn't matter if they are drawn into the same half, whoever can beat anyone at any stage deserves to win.

Wow, I wonder if the Singaporean, Japanese, Italian and Hong Kong athletes will be subjected to the same restrictions, or more rigorous tests upon touchdown. I mean, these are countries at the top of the chart.

There will probably be some sort 'special seedings' worked out – how it is gonna be done Idk – if the number of canceled Opens before the Olympics (if it continues) rises.

But a cold and flu are not quite the same...

Only seems to be particularly effective in Indonesia it seems. Bat eating continues, has seen lots of (Chinese) tourists but still zero cases. Must be all the tempeh and babi guling in their diet!

Is the situation in HK considered "bad"? The numbers don't seem to be rising much no?

ITTF posted an announcement about postponing WTTTC but retracted it almost immediately lol.

CIC does have major issues keeping her lead, just like during the SF against senpai, could easily have won 4-1 then. Meanwhile, the strongest player of CNT (aka winner of Marvellous 12 2020) is wondering why she can't get more than a game off Ito.

How dare you, senpai is clearly injured. That grimace on her face and pinching of her arm ~

Wow, senpai came back after trailing 2-8. CIC losing game 1 after such a huge lead reminds me of CM's match against Ito, from 10-1 to 10-12. Edit: Every time I have praise for senpai, I end up having to tweak my opinion minutes later.

Based on their last encounters, I would hope to see CIC vs Ito (3-4 WTGF 2019) rather than Senpai vs Ito (1-4 T2 SG) for a more hotly contested WS finals. Gomenasai senpai! On a separate note, I wonder if JTTA would consider moulding Hirano into a Doubles specialist, particularly now that her...

Seems like Ishirano stands a real chance of clinching their first WD gold this tournament. Edit: I take back my words after senpai blew their lead.
