Congratulations to Mao Takamori, 2026 China Youth Smash U19 champion

Good writeup by WTT of Sora taking the title Quote from the article: “I’m very happy to have become World No. 1 and won the title here. Becoming World No. 1 has boosted my confidence, so even when I was trailing, I was still able to play with confidence. I think that was why I won today, which...

Oddly enough, Sato/Hashimoto's incredible match which they won against SYS/WYD seemed to mark the end (or near end) of the doubles pairing. From what I can remember, the only time they played doubles after that was at the following 2025 All Japan Doubles where they lost to Yuka Umemura/Maki...

Congratulations to all the Champions. Sora smiles for no one! ... Alright, well maybe Hina.

Regarding Harimoto, he just beat WCQ at the Asian Games putting Japan in position to take the Men's Team title. Sora completed the team victory with a win over WRB. He's fully capable of beating anyone on a given day.

Just woke up and caught the last couple of points. I swear there are audience members that are literally trying to interfere with the match using flash. This is at least the 2nd time at the end of a match with flash right in his face. Same things happens to Tomo. Umpire doesn't even say...

Yes zeio, I fully understand that Sato put herself in great position both in terms of seeding and NER limit. That is no huge revelation. I've even mentioned it before how important of a milestone it was for Sato to surpass Hashimoto to play Champions events. I'm just making folks aware of the...

It hasn't started yet

I will be happy for whichever 3 make the team. But keep in mind the rankings that really matter for the Japanese Olympic hopefuls are the ones on January 3, 2028, which by then the ranking points this year will have expired. Hitomi will have challenges going forward as she is sure to meet in...

Congratulations making the finals of a Grand Smash Super Sato ... what an amazing player!

Maybe the thread title should be changed to Li Tianyang looks crazy good ;)

Thanks. I forgot about Chen Yi. That 3rd position on the JNT will be fiercely contested.

Congratulations to best chopper in the world, Hitomi Sato. Making the SF here gives her enough points to surpass Satsuki Odo in ranking and actually into the top 10 at I believe WR#9 with a chance to go even further if she beats CXT.

The scheduling was not so great for Hina. There was only 1hr20min between the end of a tough match w/ SYB and the doubles match so of course she's going to be tired. Nevertheless, she and Miwa came through in the end. She was the Champion in both WS and WD at both SC Sao Jose dos Campos 2026...

Actually, it can be exciting if it goes to expedite which I suspect it will.

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. SYB gets her first win against Hina. Congrats to SYB.

AWESOME ORAWAN !!!!!!

Very tough match for Hina, but she found a way to win over Fan Shuhan. This was far tougher than her match against Nagasaki. Relatively young so her results are up and down, FSH still has big wins over Sato, KNY, KM, Zong Geman. FSH has big power in both wings and was outrallying Hina in the...

At least for 1 week, Sora can stake claim to world number 1. I believe he's the youngest world #1 as well.
