Yeah, honestly what are the chances of that happening.

Is there such a rule? Hmm, wouldn't quite explain the need to take part in all the Opens endlessly though?

- So, Wang Manyu vs Sun Yingsha. That is like adding another layer of insurance to eliminate Zhu Yuling from the QFs whose fate is already precarious enough with Sun Mingyang as the opponent. - Free advancement for Ito (Minnie Soo) and Hamamoto (Lay Jian Fang)? - Early exit for Ishikawa (Kihara...

She's losing 1.6k points in total from her early exit in Korea Open and now Australia Open, causing her to drop to at least WR#5 (likely more). If she falls too much down the ladder and is selected for the Olympics Singles event, she may be allocated into the same half as her other chosen...

Probably not. I mean, just turning up = +400 points which she definitely needs now.

Oh dang. She's gonna lose so many points this month. Best case scenario, she is #5 but likely to be between #6-#8.

Oh wow, did Nagasaki Miyu underperform? Swept 0-4 by Zhang Qiang who is IMO among the weakest players in the 1st team. I was betting on Nagasaki actually. Can someone who watched comment on the match? This is like a bitch slap to ZYL's face :confused:

Lol, from Li Jiayi's post-match interview, seems like the Chinese coaches do not think much about Hayata's techniques and potential? She basically name-dropped Xiao Zhan, Ma Lin, Li Sun and Guo Yan who all allegedly told her that Hayata's overall ability has yet to reach a level that can...

Someone must have cursed Hayata to face Chinese players all the time. But Li Jiayi is really only Tier 2/3 in the CNT so, hmm.

I was responding to the inaccuracies in the translations after watching the original interview. I don't presume to know what LSW actually thinks, just what she did say but was translated wrongly.

Wow, I didn't know she was once called the "bridesmaid". Would be interested to learn more about that. Googling "Li Xiaoxia" and "bridesmaid" got me reports about her actual wedding ;) Anyways, CM (power + spin) can prolly fend off WMY (power + spin) for a while. She's doubly motivated by the...

T2 Diamond ensues afterwards. 18th to 21st July. Most players would not want to give up the bonus points – at least 400 for just participating.

The first 3 games were an utterly one-sided victory but not unexpected. OTOH, SYS's loss to DN exposed her lack of experience, namely her inability to adapt to the different styles. She enjoys fast and furious rallies like against LSW, CM and WMY and that's where we see her at her finest but...

I'm a little confused about DN's tactics here. She played a carefully-curated control game against SYS during the SF which ultimately got her the victory. But here she's very willing to engage in strong rallies with CM even though she clearly cannot match the latter's shot quality. So... what's...

That's actually not true. She considers DN as both her friend (not the kind that she will share everything with but they do share a bond from growing up and training together) AND rival (亦敌亦友), not just the latter. There are also other oddities in the translation because the author didn't pay...

Since Korea Open is a fertile breeding ground for surprises and upsets, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Ito best WMY. WMY started off very strong in 2017 and dominated 2018 for a while. There was a period of time whereby she seemed invincible (within and outside of CNT) until CM (and SYS...

XX played like crap this XD finals.

Lol Fan's handling of crucial game points is catching up to Kasumi soon.

Haha maybe Kasumi heard the Japanese netizens' complaints that even Nagasaki, Hayata and Hirano could take 2 games from the top Chinese players so she felt motivated to do so.
