Last year's Champions Macao points have expired. Wang Manyu is the new world #1 in women's singles. Chen Yi is at #10. Hitomi Sato leapfrogs Honoka Hashimoto and is now the 4th highest ranked Japanese woman behind Miwa, Hina, and Satsuki. Both are at this week's Star Contender Astana with Hitomi...

Video from the stands shows the critical point where flash from a courtside seat causes Sora Matsushima to miss. He was down 3-2,9-7. Big difference between 8-9 vs 7-10. Just terrible. https://x.com/usagi2308/status/2099050660671201589

Elias Ranefur edges out Dima to claim his first title

Very impressive tournament for Chen Yi. Making the finals here gives Chen Yi just enough to edge out SYB for the WR#10 spot.

Congratulations to two tough as nails women: Miwa Harimoto 2026 Champions Macao WS champion and Hitomi Sato 2026 Contender Panagyurishte WS champion. Sato surpasses Honoka in tomorrow's rankings update with this title. This might have implications for who goes to the 2026 Asian Championships...

I think it was after a timeout and discussion with Coach Morizono that Sora varied the power so that he's not just feeding pace to Hugo who just eats it up. I think in the future he'll do this naturally, but it's a learning process for him. He'll be token #1 on October 5 when last year's China...

Sakura Yokoi beat Miyu Nagasaki 3-1 to make the finals. She will face Hitomi Sato.

A good day for Joola. Hugo's power is off the charts.

Chen Yi showing Kuai Man how it's done. That was very Odo like just ripping everything coming from Han Ying.

Umm, Adam's videos are just for clicks... can't be taken seriously.

Poor Hana couldn't control her emotions

Wow... what is going on with MIyuu? Beating CXT one day and losing to Swastika Ghosh and Sachi Aoki the next. The consistency in performance is just not there.

I don't know if this continues throughout the season, but the season opening weekend (Sept 11-13) will be livestreamed for free on MLTT's YouTube Channel.

Not gonna rehash this, but I did not misquote/misrepresent anyone. Note that you are giving WYD's losses *after* WTTC 2023. Yeah, she lost some confidence after her loss to Hina (or to Miu Hirano if you wanna say that which is fine). But as I presented, WYD was quite strong leading up to the...

So you're quoting the *opinions* of some fans and a writer. Look at the actual *facts*. Prior to her meeting with Hayata at WTTC 2023, WYD had only 1 loss to a non-Chinese player, Miu Hirano, losing 3-2,12-10 at 2023 Singapore Smash. And in all of 2022, WYD has zero losses to non-Chinese...

It's tough to stay at the top as it's extremely competitive. There are a number of players outside the top 10 that can give anyone trouble on any given day: Togami, Lind, Sidorenko, Shinozuka, OJS, Coton, etc.

Strong performance by Taiwan's CIC against her rival

Miu Hirano has moved into the top 30 at WR#27 due to her winning this tournament. There are now 10 Japanese women in the top 30. Hirano is scheduled to play Contender Panagyurishte which runs parallel to Champions Macao this week. Then, she will be at SC Astana next week.

Have to agree. Even if she won the tournament, she could only get a net gain of 35 points because her current lowest top 8 results is 365 pts. My only guess would be she's treating this as a warm up tournament(?). Her first couple of rounds at Champions Macao don't look too bad (Pesotska...

Didn't get a chance to watch it live, but congratulations to Miu... Looks like Hurricane Hirano is back! Seems like there should be a blade named Hurricane Hirano.
