2024 WTT Champions Incheon 03.27-03.31 Korea

A lot of people viewed FZD like a dead dog just because he lost to LSD in the Singapore smash...

 

[kindof99]

Haha, everyone knew CNT would be ready for the rematch. The real test is whether the kid can evolve...

I think it is at least a realty check for Matsushima.

Surprisingly, no surprise so far...

Gauzy over Dang qualifies.

Gauzy over Dang qualifies.

Also, Polcanova (WR#29) over SYB (WR#7)

Linda Bergstrom beat Orawan Paranang. I don't have good ELO numbers so if someone thinks I am wrong, they can share, but this I suspect is the kind of example of WTT rankings outperforming the ELO rankings that people tend to ignore when it happens.

Just wait until FZD goes to the BlackPink concert, he will be dead dog again.

Probably not too many surprises when there is no qualified stage. Lower ranked players might develop a strong feel going into the elimination stage and cause more upsets.

Matsushima is no future of JNT...

only 2 days in and it's already dreading for the JPN boys

but tbh if it's not Matsushima, who can we place our hopes on? Hagihara, Kazuki, Iwaida or Sakai

I seriously doubt Paranang has a higher ELO. Bergstrom has beaten Szocs and YJN earlier this year, losing only to Hayata 2:3. I also don't recall any recent bad losses.

What a match from the 17 yr old son of Oh Sang Uhn *** Oh Jun Seong *** vs Omar Assar. Wow. the kid been pushing to make the KNT, this is gunna help him in many ways.

Yeah but an ELO is not only about the year or recent losses. Paranang is bronze medallist at the University games. But I did miss that Bergstrom despite losing to such players as Gaponova and Kallberg also recently had wins over Szocs and YJN.

He has been there for a while, this win isn't it, it's purely a matter of time and age.

ELO works very much like the USATT ratings, the recency effect is built in since the amount the ratings change after a match depends on your current rating. Paranang with recent losses to e.g. Bajor would tank her ratings quite a bit, and she has no major wins to make up for it.

Bajor is a better player than many of the players that Bergstrom lost to at the WTTTC in Busan. In any case, next time, I will use an example with actual numbers, I accept this is not a good one.

Have no highlights been posted yet? I don't have time to watch full matches.

 

[dingyibvs]

I see Chen Meng the EJ has switched to the FZD ALC.

 

[blahness]

This tournament has the stupid WTT side angle again... wtf are they smoking? The matches are downright unwatchable and useless now, what a pity!

 

[mikeytt]

Alexis anger issues continue to show, well played by Hugo though he's having a great tournament so far

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Solid win for Hugo. Up next, his girlfriend, Bruna, takes on Polcanova. Maybe he stays and coaches her.
