Understood. You also advanced the argument that 30 degrees is not found in the ITTF handbook as if that is consistent with all the TTR that has gone on over the past few years. It's not something I can seriously argue with, nor can I argue with your expertise. Your perspective is appreciated.

You can compare it to the serve that was faulted in Miyu Nagasaki vs Sun Yingsha to see whether tossing across half the table at head height allows for such tosses.

Okay. You are entitled to your opinions.

"Dubious angle aside".... dubious angle is part of throwing the ball into the rwcket and getting more spin. Everyone is free to determine what advantage that gives but the aerve is illegal, TTR would have faulted it no questions asked.

Bernie only served one type of serve throughout the match as well (use pendulum for two points in a lost game, but used tomhawk exclusively otherwise). Someone has to win and someone has to lose, it isn't about having one serve.

The long serve at 2-2, 9-9 had a blatantly illegal toss.

How did Alexis win that 2-2, 1-1 point????

How can the umpires let Alexis get away with all these blatantly bad tosses?

You linked to yourself to claim I said something that just about everyone here knows I would never say. It's okay, just pointing it out. In any case, you do you.

You can post all you want, but this really encapsulates your attitude. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/35th-ittf-attu-asian-cup-2026-haikou-2-4-8.38624/page-6#post-563477

Let's not get into it with those who deny the possibility of growth and redemption for those they have damned.

Semi finals. Once China, one Taiwan, 2 Japan. "FZD must return" calls getting sold at their highest value in the TT options market...

Was thinking the same thing for a moment... but you have to give Togami his props. He fought through every trick thrown at him.

He has, no more third place .matches on these events IIRC.

Togami!

You can't beat the world if you can't beat your teammates, Nagasaki! BTW, anyone know what Kaho did to get a spot here that Kihara, Odo, Yokoi etc. did not?

Now we will find out whether whatever Xue Fei told WCT only works for penholders...

Shinozuka couldn't call WCQ or Matsushima to get the intel on Harimoto... I think Harimoto got the best possible draw given his loss... maybe even better than the one he would have had had he won vs WCT...

Lam and Xiang was the other one where I felt an upset was possible. Lam has played really well. But since CJS ultimately beat him, I felt the CNT coaches would figure him out. But he looks like he has levelled up significantly.

For me, the match was a 50-50, I just picked the other way and it could as well have gone the other way. Congrats, SYB.
