Iizuka lost in his 1st match...I definitely did not expect that

USATT linked the ITTF Americas YouTube channel on their website, so I assume the matches will be streamed there once the main draw starts (hopefully not on the ITTF Americas app).

LSD has 2000 points that will expire February 9th, so for a short period we will have either Hugo or Truls as number #2.

I think this thread and the yt viewers are more worried about this than Hugo himself lol. If Hugo chose to test a bunch of options, he accepted the fact that he will struggle to adapt at the start of the season. But in the long run, it will allow him to find the best setup, so let’s just be...

JOOLA signed their biggest star yet so they could promote the xylo blade 🤣

Looks the same with the one in this pic

Hugo and Joola now officially announced! I was a bit skeptical, as Joola has been losing some ground in the TT market. But it’s becoming clearer that Hugo made a very good choice. He wants to keep building his image and brand in Brazil and the Americas, and XIOM won’t be able to help that...

I don’t have any inside knowledge/source, but I did some more digging and it’s looking like Hugo to Joola rumors are true…

Yes, Monteiro is still the national coach. But Hugo’s personal coach is Paco.

This year he still wasn’t the official coach, so he only went to the ones he could. Hugo officially announced him starting next year, so he should be on all competitions for 2026

Vitor pretty much retired from the international scene so he is working as Hugo's sparring partner. Hugo's official coach is Paco (Francisco Arado).

Unfortunately, I don’t think it will help us that much. He gave it as a gift to an influencer, but it’s a mini “ping pong” kit from his brand. The design looks like his XIOM blades, but it’s probably just a cheap pre-made racket. We should get more news as the new year approaches.

Hmmmmm

Is the walkout a procedure? Couldn't they just have announced it earlier and not made the players enter the arena

I'm no blade expert but it looks pretty identical to Andro Synteliac VCI

Adam said it was a back injury? If I heard right

Wata is very close to Marcos Yamada who is a long-time Butterfly representative in Brazil. I would guess BTY was the one that offered and got turned down.

The prototype he is using has green carbon fiber. I only know Andro, Stiga, and Thibar blades that have it…not sure about the rest

If XIOM loses Hugo to Joola, it’s time to close down the business 🤣
