But do we even know if he actually switched to ARY-X? From what I understood, Matt said they sent both blades with the same design before he sent new ones, so up to that point we wouldn't know if he made that change.

Bruna used all-wood blade in Macau instead of the VCI Synteliac she usually plays with.

I'd say 60/40 Felix. Hugo hasn't been too convincing lately, but you never know with him. He can suddenly turn it on or off at any moment..

Bruna did very well against her. It would be interesting to see a rematch. I read in German forum that Winter recently recovered from an injury?... not sure how true that is.

Odo and Alexis are signed up for Europe Smash. I would guess that the their federations made an agreement that they would only play in Smashes, due to harsher NER rules.

Adriana had to withdraw from the tournament. It seems she ran into a visa issue.

Main draw bracket is out for anyone interested. Hugo will have a challenging first match, with Andre most likely facing him R32.

Miwa and Sora have had some disappointing results lately in doubles. Wonder if Japan will continue having them as #1 pair for the LA cycle. Oda is playing very well with Alexis.

Bruna finished 6-0 too, while sitting out the last group match. Let's see if Hugo will get eliminated while not losing a match too. Felix will be tough to beat...

Predictions anyone? Interesting that Iizuka won’t play against Jarvis since he beat him once in Bundesliga.

I think Omar's decline has already started. I can't remember the last time he won an important WTT match.

I’ll never forget Levajac after Serbia vs. Brazil in the team competition at the Tokyo Olympics. Worth a replay if anyone hasn’t seen it it. Looks like Peto still playing too.

Munier and Felix vs Hugo coming soon 👀🔥

Congrats to Hugo and Bruna on their first XD title 👏 especially to Bruna who didn’t miss at all this final

I know we talk a lot about the blades, but I’m curious about the rubbers. Seems like Hugo is losing some arc on his shots

I really like the design. Probably the best out of all Joola blades so far (in my opinion)

Agree but I don't see China winning gold in MD without WQC. LSD + a junior is asking for trouble

I think the hardest double for China right now is MD. WD is in a good place and XD can always rely on WQC and Sun Yingsha, while MD has very difficult competition with Felix brothers, Korea, Japan, and HKG all having strong pairs. But as you said, Wang and Lin seem like a lock, so the results...

LA 2028 Qualification System is out. Maximum number of athletes is 3 per gender. Main difference is that now there is the possibility of countries sending out 2 mixed doubles pairs if both are inside the top 8 ranking. Very odd and probably done just to benefit China... (Japan, Korea, too).

@Matt Hetherington Any updates on Hugo's equipment for this tournament? 🙃
