Solid win for SYB over Honoka. Tough task for Honoka having to deal with her compatriots, top Chinese, and now S. Korea as she's lost to both Joo Cheonhui and now SYB. She needs a beast mode forehand attack.

For me, the match was a 50-50, I just picked the other way and it could as well have gone the other way. Congrats, SYB.

it's Shin Yubin's world and we're just livin in it!

Harimoto vs Shinozuka time... HT just barely sneaks away with that one after Shinozuka closed the gap and forced the TO

XP and Lam 1-1

Harimoto, Nagasaki and Kihara for LA28!

Lam and Xiang was the other one where I felt an upset was possible. Lam has played really well. But since CJS ultimately beat him, I felt the CNT coaches would figure him out. But he looks like he has levelled up significantly.

Odo seems more solid than Kihara at the moment. Yokoi can get better too

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

Lam applying the pressure...

Shinozuka couldn't call WCQ or Matsushima to get the intel on Harimoto... I think Harimoto got the best possible draw given his loss... maybe even better than the one he would have had had he won vs WCT...

Now we will find out whether whatever Xue Fei told WCT only works for penholders...

You can't beat the world if you can't beat your teammates, Nagasaki!

BTW, anyone know what Kaho did to get a spot here that Kihara, Odo, Yokoi etc. did not?

I want to know too…..

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

that's a wrap!

on that match at least, almost forgot about the others (like Fraser's double sign-off today)

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Miyu wins a tight match over Kaho. Kaho has got talent but is lacking experience. She held her own in most of the Miyu power rallies.

My guess would be availability. I know Odo and Yokoi are playing T-League literally right now.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

When you make a big comeback and win 11-8 in G5 with an edge

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Kihara is also literally playing T-League right now.
