Continental points will probably put all the same players into the World Cup, probably a couple more with the size increase. I do prefer the old format though. Round robin is not a thing for WTT, seems they just want knockouts.
Well, Hirano gotta get her ranking up. She should have beaten Ito at the Singapore Smash and then this would havs been extremely unlikely and she would have had a crack against Wang Manyu as well. But maybe she might do magic again here.
Dignics in general even outside of 09c is significantly less bouncy than Tenergy. Between 80 and 05 is a personal choice, but if your reason for change is a desire for easy stroke speed vs Rakza Z *on the backhand*, I'm not sure 09c checks that box. But everyone's feeling is different.
JJH beat YJN in her first match. Which again begs the question of what the rumor of their removing her from the Olympic team would mean. Removing your only player that is currently playing well is just laughable.
My thoughts exactly, lol! If Kallberg doesn't know what to do, then what hope do we mere mortals have? No wonder blahness feels so alone when talking to the rest of us...
If it wasn't for the last WTTTC in Busan, I would have said that the Koreans know how to rig the draw, their players largely have good first round matchups, and their enemies tough ones lol.
