Congratulations Super Miwa! She's become such a complete player.

Okay, ngl there's a guilty pleasure that I'm not particularly proud of, but I do get a bit satisfaction from the fanatical crowd getting silenced when SYS and WCQ lose. I actually like and respect both of the players themselves, but it's just having the one way crowd scream their names all...

Satsuki proved many including the annoying commentators wrong! Pulls off a shocker winning 4-3 in the decider against Chen Yi !!

Zhu Yuling talks about Shin Yubin's maturing game:

One of my favorite players a big win for SYB over ZYL.

Congratulations to Kotomi Omoda for making 3 finals XD, WD, WS. She won XD with Keishi Hagihara. Congratulations to YYT for taking the WS title.

Miyu Nagasaki had to pull out of the tournament due to injury:

Kotomi Omoda is having a great tournament. She is in the finals of both WD and XD, and she is in the SF of WS.

Congratulations to Satsuki on an amazing 3-0 win over WMY at a WTT tournament IN CHINA. I hope this becomes a springboard for success not only for Satsuki but for the Japanese women's team in general. But at a minimum, this shocking result is the encouragement that they needed. Even Miwa...

A bit of a shocker ....

SUPER SATSUKI ODO !!!! BOMBS AWAY !!!

Newly crowned champion at WTT Feeder Düsseldorf, Yuka Kaneyoshi, is also entered in this tournament. She is one of the favorites to take this title as well. She's really made a name for herself in Europe. Compatriots Kotomi Omoda and MIsuzu Takeya are also strong candidates as well. Misuzu at...

Anna Hursey and Yuka Kaneyoshi are into the WS Finals. FWIW, Yuka beat Anna 3-1 in the Bundesliga. Although I'm favoring Yuka to win it, I think I will be just as happy if Anna wins it. I think at least currently, she is Europe's best young talent.

FWIW, if Kotomi beats Anna in the top half, she has beaten Yuka at the 2025 All Japan University Table Tennis Tournament.

Big test later today (6:15pm local time on table 1) for Annett Kaufmann. She takes on the top ranked player in Women's 1st Bundesliga, chopper Yuka Kaneyoshi, who has beaten Annett twice in the Bundesliga.

Yeah, you're right. I was looking at Mima's expiring points in April, but it wouldn't happen until long after Chongqing. But it could happen sooner if Sabine makes the SF at Chongqing.

Sabine is listed in the players list for Champions Chongqing, and Mima Ito is not. By my calculations, if Sabine makes it to the QF in Chongqing, she will swap places with Mima's WR#10. Hina (#9) leapfrogs Mima (#10) to take her rightful place as the 2nd highest ranked Japanese woman behind Miwa.

Congratulations to Japan's Mao Takamori for taking the Singapore Youth Smash U19 title beating Chen Min-Hsin of Taiwan 4-0. Also, congratulations to Japan's Miku Matsushima for taking the Singapore Youth Smash U15 title beating Liu Ziling of China 4-1.

Valiant effort from Hina, but SYS is #1 for a reason. Still, winning 3 deciders including 2 over tough CNT opponents in HZJ and KM and playing SYS pretty well for a good chunk of the match should build confidence. Add to that winning the WD with Miwa, which includes a win over KM/CY, in their...
