Adriana's 2nd round opponent is Satsuki Odo. Don't be surprised if Adriana wins. They played each other in T-League a couple weeks ago and Adriana won 3-0. Satsuki will need to bring her 'A' game.

Prime Adriana Diaz

Congratulations to Sally Moyland for making it to the Main Draw!

It's inevitable with more Chinese and Japanese players playing that other countries will get pushed down the rankings. But Adriana has some impressive wins in '25/'26 including ZYL, CY, WYD, and CIC. And her losses in '25/'26 have come against strong players.

Miyuu Kihara's 1st round opponent is Adriana Diaz. We'll see if it leads to WTT success, but Adriana has recently beaten both Satsuki Odo and Shin Yubin in T-League. Miyuu will be looking to bounce back from her loss to Mao Takamori at the WTTTC selection trial.

Another good win for USA's Sally Moyland over Yashaswini Ghorpade. This sets up a final qualification round match between Sally and Singapore's Chloe Lai.

I'm not aware of the arrangements made by the NP Mallets Team. But as a fellow teammate and the most senior member of NP Mallets, there's a certain amount of trust and Saki is extremely knowledgable as she herself has recently beaten Miyuu Kihara who Mao faced in the quarterfinals. Saki has...

Congratulations to Sally Moyland winning 3-0 over Huang Yu-Jie, the player who beat Miyuu Kihara at the Star Contender Chennai last week.

Shout out to Mao Takamori for having an amazing tournament despite the loss in the finals. Also a shout out to Saki Shibata who posted on X that she decided not to play this tournament due to scheduling and other circumstances. But she coached her young T-League teammate Mao all the way to the...

Rin Mende is Japan's top female junior not named Miwa. She won her first senior tournament recently, 2026 WTT Feeder Cappadocia. Relatively thin frame, but she relies on her beautiful technique and rapid, successive hits to her opponents weak spots to gain the advantage. I especially like her...

Congratulations to Rin Mende securing a spot on the WTTTC team!

Congratulations Mao Takamori and Rin Mende for making the Finals. Too bad there can only be one winner.

Tomo is entitled to his opinion. But T-League is not the only league that has rules like next point wins when it's 10-10. MLTT calls this the Golden Point. I can't imagine how Tomo would react if he had to play the Golden Game. And Tomo has something on the order of 90% win rate in T-League...

Someone posted on X that Hirano, who made the finals in Chennai, was not able to make it back in time for the WTTTC trial and had to cancel.

Quite a number S. Korea/Japan doubles pairs. I know there are a lot of Korean players in T-League. Good to see the collaboration. I'm still hoping to see Joo Sae Hyuk training Honoka for a beast mode footwork and forehand :). Yukiya Uda/Oh Junsung Joo Cheonhui/Satsuki Odo Miyu Nagasaki/Shin...

Maybe things are different in CTTSL as I don't follow it, but they absolutely do care about the results in T-League. They've edited it out for online distribution, but I recall watching the livestream when Miu Hirano lost to Mikuu Izumo, the camera panned to ZYL consoling Hirano who was crying...

Congratulations Satsuki Odo. I didn't get to watch it live, but from the replay, Satsuki did a great job of forcing Hirano side to side. Odo served a lot of balls to the middle, both short and half long, and then worked the wings. It also looks like Hirano had a lot of trouble with the amount...
