They are referring to the WTTC Women's Doubles earlier this year (I'm sure you can find out more if you do some search) and SYS's alleged proclivity for claiming all side balls as edges (once with Ito during the finals just now and once against CXT yesterday) so seems like there's a 'pattern' here.

Sometimes I wonder why the umpire doesn't just check with the receiver if s/he is having trouble seeing the point of contact, since all these minuscule rules about vertical toss, minimum toss height and removing of free arm are technically meant to safeguard the latter. Of course, this sounds...

Li Sun has announced in September that the core players will take turns to rest and (re)calibrate for German and Austrian Opens.

FTW is making CM look bad lol

Well, I guess it makes sense if we are going with the scripted theory. [From the CNT POV] Possible finalists: Ito Mima and Feng Tianwei Candidates at hand - Sun Yingsha: Has never lost to FTW and a good track record against Ito but recent encounter was a disaster - Chen Xingtong: Has lost...

SYS was being a burden but Mizutani was a greater burden ~

Today seems like a day with many promising matches. Just a couple of thoughts. Mixed Doubles - Strong contenders Jeon/Lee and Lin/Cheng will go head to head although the former seems to be in better form considering the latter has lost both their Singles. Or would the losses be a motivating...

Well, at least CXT acknowledged Hayata's strength. She said that Hayata's first three balls (I'm sure there's a better translation for this term 前三板) and rallying skills are very strong. Zeio will probably sub this ~

Haha, but that's the Japanese way for XD. The ladies are the heavy-hitters. Gender equality!

Looking forward to seeing Mizuto play XuSha (Shisha) tomorrow ~

The weakest is probably... not in the tournament.

There were fewer variations in Ito's last two (especially the last) games, as though she decided to play it 'safe'.

CM has no issues playing BH rallies with Ito though. It's official. Being WR#1 is a curse, especially when playing Ito.

Petition Japan to let Sweden host the Olympics next year. It's Ito's place.

CM: Omg. If I don't win this, my Olympics Singles spot is gone for sure. LSW: Well, thanks for shielding me away from this pressure.

Good gracious. The deadliness of Ito's serves.

Technically there is 'poetic justice' in the sense that the umpire who faulted WMY was the same one who first said that Hayata's serve was a let during the WTTC earlier this year. Or maybe she's over-compensating ~

I believe in my conspiracy theory haha. LSW's script was: I'm not gonna use my usual hook serve from the middle, just stand in the BH corner and let CM attack my exposed FH side no matter what.

If LSW plays like XX is doing now, I suppose they are reserving their energies for the XD finals?

Hirano engages in BH rallies w Ito as though the short pips is non-existent...?
