Juan Liu (American citizen, former CSL/CNT player) just beat Daniel Gorak, former Polish national team player at Westchester in NY recently. I suspect that these CNT women could do the same to many national teams and that the result says absolutely nothing about NA table tennis.

CNT's top rivals:
1. Mima Ito
2. Hina Hayata
3. Nikhil Kumar

no. But the fact that you point at an ex-CNT member when talking about NA table tennis - that does say a bit. Anyway, they have a new generation of good players like Kanak so they're moving in the right direction.

I think imi get your point that it is interesting that an ex-CNT player is in the USA. Mine was that ex CNT players can beat Polish professionals as well. Juan Liu was at her training prime as a professional maybe 8 years ago. She came back after starting a family and she is still beating 2700 level players. So someone laughing at the US men's team should realize that they are not much worse off than most of the world in table tennis and are likely to be significantly better. Talk about Kanak being part of the solution is not the point. The team that played the women had 2 Chinese migrants as well as Nikhil who is at most 17 and has been trained by Chinese coaches almost all his TT life. I suspect that the CNT women would beat most countries not in the top 10 or 15 men's teams in the world.

The battle of sexes within CNT is actually not that rare of an event. The women A-team would play against men B-team. If against men’s A-team, men would start with 0-4, 6-8, or 8-9, such was the case in 2014 where men won all the matches. It turned out the 8-9 games are toughest for men, they lost 10, won 10.

I am surprised Ding Ning had such a hard time there. What are the USA players world ranked in the mens?

It was a small event in California not advertised to the public. So most of the people there will be people who consider TT players celebrities. One of my Nigerian friends was there.

The Chinese players are very polite guests. They didn't come to embarrass anyone.

My take too, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some jobbing from Sun Yingsha.

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't.

Kanak was smart not to participate.

CNT women could probably beat men players as high as WR 25.

Juan Liu, former CNT, recently beat Poland Daniel Gorak at USA Westchester monthly tournament. his highest WR 52.

She won comfortably as she seems to against all U.S. based male players. Gorak has been as low as 52 in ITTF rankings, whilst she peaked at 94 in the women's rankings. Furthermore, she recently annihilated Yijun Feng who is twice runner up in the U.S. Nationals men's singles. Then factor in that Jian Lui is 33 and had been retired for 6 years!
Jiaqi Zheng is another female player who beat numerous higher ranked males than her for fun regularly. There are other females who do the same.
It makes you wonder if there really is any difference between males and females in table tennis. I can't see it.

She lost to Jeremy Hazin of Canada recently. The level.of the player matters and men are stronger then women. Women can compete sate in some cases with close to the table blocking and hitting but the strength and speed disparity can show up.
