WS R16
Pyon Song Gyong 3-4 ZYL (10, -4, -6, -10, 6, 6, -7)
G7 02, 32, 34, 54, 57, 67 net for PSG?, 68, 78, 711
ZYL couldn't have fended off the comeback without her BQ.

 

[NextLevel]

The quarters are set for women: two from China facing two from Korea and then two from Japan get the dangerous players. The draw has gone according to seeding.

WMY - SYB
MH - KKY
HH - ZYL
SYS - JCH

 

[zeio]

Miwa is gonna make miracles and take the WS title

Getting past KKY and if nothing goes wrong WMY and SYS on Japanese soil will go down in history. It's been 9 years since Hirano's feat on Chinese soil at ATTC 2017.

Korean men might have completed a games to forget with Jang losing 0-4 to Feng. QF matchups so far:

WCQ - FHYS
TH - NA

I suspect the last two will be:

SM - LSD
LYJ - CB

Quek giving Sora all sorts of problems - now 2-2...

LSD had no such problems against Manush, starting game 4 badly but rallying to win 12-10 to complete the sweep.

The QF will be streamed on this site at some point - you will have to use the arrow to find table 1 and table 2:

Looks like two of the matches will not be transmitted:

MS R16
LSD 4-0 Shah (4, 4, 9, 10)
G4 510?, 1210

FYH 4-0 JWJ (7, 6, 7, 8)

Quek Yong (why the missing Izaac?) 2-4 Matsushima (-4, 6, -7, 12, -5, -8)
G3 41, 44, 711
G4 87 TO for QY, 89, 99, 1011, 1111, 1112, 1412
G6 02, 22, 27, 67 TO for Matsushima, 610, 810, 811
The drain on Matsushima is visible as well.
Revenge of the SI... ahem, Return of SGP is all but certain?

MS R32
...
Tancharoen 3-4 Gerassimenko (9, 7, -9, 7, -10, -6, -6)
WCQ 4-2 Preechayan (-3, 6, 4, -8, 2, 5)
Slowly but surely, the rise of THA is coming.

 

[NextLevel]

Same with the women - two matches will not be on TV tables...:

 

[NextLevel]

Game 1 of the Harimoto-Shinozuka vs Singapore doubles was too funny. Hari and Shino were just not playing early in the game, went down 7-2 and were still smiling and laughing and came back to win 11-9. That's what table tennis is like when you are not worried because you have the best two players in the doubles matchup on your team lol.

MD QF
Quek Yong/Pang Yew En 0-3 Harimoto/Shinozuka (-9, -10, -9)
Barely edged out. Not enough to feel overly optimistic for the world stage. Rather, they should feel lucky MT is replaced by XT at LA28.

 

[JackJohnson]

Miwa’s dad ain’t coaching her for her singles match against KKY.

I wonder why?

 

[Janard]

These Iranian men always seem to be giving Tomo trouble

 

[v100ev]

Faulting a serve on matchpoint.. wow

 

[JackJohnson]

Faulting a serve on matchpoint.. wow

That gave Tomo a lifeline.

Will it change the overall result, idk.

 

[v100ev]

The serve they faulted did not look bad.. but the last two serves in the match were 200% illegal

 

[J-fed]

Faulting a serve on matchpoint.. wow

Eeek. Totally unshockingg though. When else would you do so??

G2 95, 98, 108, 1012

WMY 4-0 SYB (9, 6, 6, 5)
Weakest QFlist. No surprise she was not on the Great Wall of Opponents for Paris 2024.

Hayata 4-0 ZYL (5, 10, 8, 10)
This match took longer to get started than the other 3?
G2 99, 910, 1210
G4 99, 910, 1210
The curse of PSG at Paris 2024 still applies here. Hayata is lucky ZYL fended PSG off.

JCH 2-4 SYS (-9, -12, -3, 7, 11, -8)
G2 96, 99, 109, 1011, 1111, 1112, 1212, 1214

Locker room tactic for JPN? That's gross!

G7 31, 32, 52, 53, 63, 65, 85, 86, 96, 99, 119
Alamiyan had a small talk with the ump.
Could Harimoto have gotten past WCT if he advanced instead?
