Lind has been playing amazing all tournament long and this is definitely another next level performance. He's always had world class finishing power on his shots but now he's somehow found a way to add more stability in rallies too. It's like he's finally found a formula to put all his weapons...

Damn that was maybe the highest level Hayata we've seen for most of this year, especially that Game 1. Seemed to have some decent success with a new BH serve. Not enough to beat someone like WMY, but it's clear she's trying new things to stay competitive. Great performance by Hayata to push WMY...

I never miss any match featuring Anders Lind and this performance against Jorgic might be one of the sharpest ones I've seen him play. Guy has such a bizarre but entertaining style with the slow spinny blocks and pushes to go with some absolute ripping shots (his BH flick/smash receive maybe the...

Togami finally does it! Has he turned the corner? Is it the Zyre? Who knows?! Congrats to Shunsuke "The Flash" Togami!

Those points at 9-10 and then 10-10 is what Togami needs to be able to do more. Soft blocks between his big loops to get the opponent off balance instead of just blasting away every time.

This game 6 is the most Togami game ever so far lol

He's more likely to try to shift into 7th or 8th gear and then hit the NOS button until his motor explodes lol

Absurdly long shoelaces version of Honoka is unbeatable in Contender level events. It is known.

Togami had like 4 service aces in that game 2. If he can keep up this sort of smart play and add it to his already unparalleled athleticism, things will come together for him. But I feel like whenever I say something like this he just self-detonates.

I've watched maybe all of international Honokas matches in the past year and that twiddle to BH punch against the loop is new to me. Usually she uses the BH punch against high pushes. Xu Yi sent some safe high loops to Honokas FH side and she was able to smash those back so later in the match...

Don't forget Felix in Montpelier. For Harimoto, even though it was in Yokohama, he had a slightly harder hill to climb since the crowd was still like 80% for WCQ. But definitely home court advantage, like in a lot of other sports, makes a huge difference. Whether it's crowd support, the lack...

Man what an incredible tournament. So many players playing at their absolutely best levels and getting to show their stuff in front of a large and appreciative crowd in a Grand Smash. For the CNT, we get the women all proving again how dominant they are with the WR1 and WR2 in the finals. SYS...

Don't know how I feel about that ping pong dance group lol

Are SXY and Odo friends? That was one of the friendliest handshakes I've seen between a JNT and CNT women players.

Shhhh. Let him keep making predictions so I know which underdogs to back lol

It was a few years ago and Rassenfosse has improved a lot since then. So it was strange that he was such a big underdog in this matchup. But maybe the oddsmakers know something we don't. Also people in chat referring to Rassenfosse as "facebook guy" made me lol

Agree 100%. Having to train for Hashimoto does take time and focus away from dealing with other threats. Should only be a small bump in the road for the CNT women who have a large surplus of dominance to spare. Only a matter of time before Hashimoto is no longer able to get it done against the...

All my homies love Honoka. And I think every (neutral) person in that arena became a fan of Honoka after that match too. That said, Honoka could've made it a bit easier on herself by playing a little less aggressive. Lot of missed FHs made it closer than it should've been.

Honoka's coach looks like a high schooler lol

Was a great start for Wan/Winter starting off with a 8-4 lead. Then they went to go 1-14 after that. Incredibly rough streak :(
