2019 Bulgaria Open (World Tour)

At the end of the tournament we need a compilation of ball-kid's reactions after points. I have seen at least 3 kids having their minds blown after points. I love that they get as excited about it as I do, haha!

Yeah, all these kids are training TT and they are very happy for the opportunity to be there and to be active.
You may feel that their is a lot of audience, though the hall is in a very small town in the middle of nowhere.
And the audience applaud very fair every good shot and rally no matter the player.
In fact the greatest part of the audience are TT players from clubs allround the country.

Ito and Fan Siqi are having so much fun in their contest of service ace. Ito came out on top after cracking Fan's tomahawk serve. OTOH, Fan never returned Ito's kick serve once.

Just retire Hirano

 

[Konrad Bak]

Just retire hayata

 

[karupinkun]

well sounds harsh, but i my eyes Hayata just lost the last hope for the olympics. losing against CNT is fine, but not against other nations

 

[zeio]

Hayata eased up on multiple game points during deuce in 3rd and 4th games, and she led 4-1 in the 6th game. Not sure how much stamina had an effect.

It might be a good idea for Ishida and Hayata to look into stamina management.

in the sixth game, JEON Jihee faced her coach when she served. At 8: 6, he navigated her for both her serves how to serve them

Jeon Jihee is still a Chinese export !!

 

[Konrad Bak]

Yup but hayata looks very overhyped and her stiff movement gives her opportunity to loose more matches and her stamina is between 10years Old fatty guy and ishikawa

Could you give us the stats considering last 3 months and only top chinese players? Showing the stats from the very past is irrelevant.

Sigh. Everybody's still a descendant of Mother Mary from the African savannah. So what?

It puts into context who she played against. Otherwise, we would be puzzled by Wu Jiaji of the Dominican Republic beating Kanak Jha of the US despite being 648 ranked playing 33 ranked. Please, don't let your behavior stop us from making reasonable points using facts.

Thanks. I needed that. It was an overreaction. Sorry, Drunix.

The fact is that Jeon has never exhibited CNT level calibre.

Depends in what you mean. Until this year, she was a foreigner by ITTF rules and was only Olympics eligible. Now she is eligible for all events and will be featured more across the tour. She is also only about 26 and a lefty, so she doesn't have to do anything special. But she has been the top Korean female player for a long time so that should count for something.

How bad is the flu in Bulgaria right now?

 

[NextLevel]

Is Filus really a defender? What is the point in being a defender if you can't even bring back the first attack consistently?

Pucar and Asuka Machi withdrawn from the singles as well as Sudi/Ecseki in the doubles, so maybe there is more illness involved.
