Outside of China and Japan, Cheng has been the best female player of the last decade. We still need a little patience here. The losses to players like Hashimoto and Cheng and CNT are not portenders of anything yet. A slight drop in level in the short term at best but what it means, I think...

Moregardh has one of the best forehands in the world, easily top 5, but it doesn't get mentioned enough.

Harimoto and Kallberg tried to intervene but failed. Good luck to the field!

I think the win over Batra showed that whether it is the seamless ball or something else, Bruna has taken a jump. Hopefully it will last.

Why do you think Togami is better than Hiroto? Curious.

Her issues returning that reverse spin into the forehand give a mild insight into her struggles with lefties. She needs to do a bit better with that serve over time.

How anyone could watch the Hayata match and see ut as the end of someone's career is beyond me.completely.

What a match!

How is it that Hayata wins Hayata rallies against everyone but the top Chinese? Its crazy how against the top 4, her scrambling and retrieving falls apart while it works effectively against juat about everyone else.

Togami, if he figures table tennis out, the universe is in trouble.

Men have played on table 1, women on table 2. This has been consistent throughout the event so far.

Winners of the Draw: Odo (W), Harimoto (M) Losers of the Draw: Hayata(W), Togami (M)

She is rejuvenating with a break, she'll be fine. Hayata has a broken hand, Miwa is sixteen and the golden child, Ito is cannon fodder for the CNT, Hashimoto chops, and Odo hides her serves and will be unmasked by TTR. That leaves Hirano to save the day. Tieba users have spoken.

It works if there is a 3 way tie of matches. But otherwise, it is largely useless.

The ITTF regulation specifies drawing of lots if a tie cannot be resolved after getting to points between the players...

Yes, and then Dima pointed out the let and that the point needed to be replayed. And the referee came to the table and agreed. It's straightforward.

There was no time to call the let and the let was correctly called after review. If Lin had missed the shot, they would have claimed the let too. Yes, Lin got affected the most. And yes, Lin would probably have won if not for the mistake. But the mistake was correctly handled.

The light arguably distracted Dima as well. I rewatched the video and whether Lin was complaining about the edge or the lighting is unclear, but he probably was pointing out the edge. Yes, the lighting staff robbed Lin for sure. But the main point is that a let is a let, it affected both...
