I think your evaluation is biased by the relative power levels of the players. I think Kanak is simply playing to his strengths. He lacks the power to end the point with one shot consistently. What that means in the long term for his career will be interesting. But Lin Gaoyuan is #3 so...

Kanak, out of all the players, had the best ranking on the junior tour based on activity on the junior tour. So he had the most relevant ranking if you looked at how juniors played vs juniors. The other players got their rankings more from their past WJTTC performances and their rankings on...

Let's hope this encourages HT to play WJTTC this year where WCQ is likely to lead the CNT entry.

Kanak was ranked #2, and has competed well against his peers on the junior circuit. People who focus think the ranking is biased underrated him but I never once doubted that his seeding was deserved. In the end, matchups matter and seeding based on performance reflects that.

Sidorenko is a good player though I am a bit surprised. I guess Cho wasn't as good as I thought a Korean rep would be for whatever reason.

I agree but it is never all about you but also about your competition. There are 4 CNT level players in the draw, including himself, so performing at that level just puts him in the mix.

Cho Daesong is not being taken seriously and can cause some upsets.

I think if we did a round Robin with Wang Manyu, Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, they would all have a good chance of winning depending on the day and the weather. Wang Manyu had come much further than I expected in such a short time. My point is that I am not sure Wang Manyu is clearly #3 and I am...

Wang Manyu is likely higher than you think. Chen Meng is likely lower than you think. Just my opinion tho.

They did not change the seed, people just didnt understand how the snake seed works in forming the draw. Even with the seeding, the only two people you are sure will not be on the same half of the draw are seeds 1 and 2 (as a pair) and seeds 3 and 4 ( as a pair). The rest is slightly more...

Looks like someone realized that if Tiger Woods can do it, so can CNT....

Yes. Most Japanese players have been sponsored by Butterfly or Nittaku at one point or another, especially as juniors. What's your problem specifically?

Ye, when he was younger.

Yes. The fact that Pesotska had beaten Han Ying says something about her skills vs defence.

For me, a lot of stuff has been going on outside the TT world. In TT, ever since my "retirement" for health reasons around April I believe, I have mostly not done anything TT related other than record a few matches while visiting a few tournaments. I do post on forums sometimes and watch high...

Liang Jingkun is also noted for lacking cleverness and has better technique and power than Fang Bo. In the end you are what you are. The presence of coaching at these events makes the cleverness less of a factor and technical differences become more critical.

Who won?

I think it is because some JNT members use it. Also, the new ball has made that generation more playable across the board even Hexer and Genius.

Point of the year for me.

MX-S lacks the kind of rebound you need if you are used to fishing and lobbing away from the table. I would be surprised if you liked being that active on every shot but if you do, stick with it. I also prefer the arc of Omega V Asia for the same style but the effort can be discouraging. That...
