Build your perfect WTT player

Who doesn't have first round exits at the Champion's level other than the top Chinese? I believe there was a time when Bernie Szocs was losing first round every time at either Champions or Smash, I believe Champions. Would you say her rating was inflated?

In Bundesliga, Aruna went through two periods, when he initially got there and performed reasonably, and later when he didn't like being there. Bundesliga is a tough league, some players with good records there haven't done much on tour and vice versa.

Of course his ranking is inflated by continental points as are many players, but you will still struggle to find a player below his ranking with the quality of wins he has. I gave you the list, try to find it in players ranked below him.

Nobody is taking away his wins against players from the Top 20.
But there is another list, his exits from the end of 2023, most of them at round 1: Kao, El-Belaili, Matsushima, O. Ionescu, Freitas, Matsushima, Uda, E. Ionescu, Walther, Huang.
These are all great players, but they are all way below Aruna in ranking. He wins against top players from time to time, but he had so many losses against people he was supposed to win.

He's obviously a very good player but is average at the top level, with a big FH.
His ranking and supposedly amazing FH should have taken him further in almost every tournament I've seen him play so I'd agree, his ranking has always seemed inflated to me.
Maybe his FH translates into results against lesser players (and the odd big scalp) but its not often enough against higher level opposition to consider him in any top tier list, for anything!
Better to have the big FH than nothing notable of course. It's just that after that his limitations are pretty obvious as you've pointed out with so many disappointing results over the years.
For me this kinda feeds into the point I was trying to make about Ma Long.
If Ma only had his FH he'd be right there with Aruna. If Aruna had just a little bit more in other areas he could maybe use that FH to greater effect more regularly 🤷‍♂️

If you look at any player in the top 30, you will find a similar won and loss profile. Remember that prior to the Olympics, Truls for example lost a bunch of first round matches against various players.

I like the fact that you admit these are all great players, and Elbeiali, the outlier, also beat Apolonia that tournament and had played with Quadri in African events for over a decade.

You are citing matches played on tour during a period when sometimes it was questionable whether Quadri wanted to even play on tour (his focus was on league where most of his income is from).. But there are many results which h also show the flipside of this and I will continue to ask you to cite the wins that lower ranked players have against the top players Quadri has beaten.

Grand Smash. 5 out of 5 at Singapore Smash 2022 (first-ever GS)/2023/2024, Saudi Smash 2024, and China Smash 2024.

Finally reached R16 where 0-3 CXT at Singapore Smash 2025.

Szocs' record in CS is actually decent, beating CM (WTT CS Macao 2022 and WTT CS Frankfurt 2023) and CXT (WTT CS Macao 2023). She's like the female LSS of ROU and you did post that she was overrated.

Dima is below Aruna in the ranking (lol). Should I cite his wins over top opponents?
I appreciate your dedication to defending Aruna tho, commendable.

I find it hard to believe I posted Szocs was overrated, in what context did I do that? I thought it was you arguing that the European women (and Shin Yubin) were overrated prior to the Olympics and that Miu Hirano would overtake them in ranking or something along those lines.

I have always held that the current ranking system measures performance but not player strength like an ELO system does, so you get no reward for quality of wins, it is all about what round you make in events. So I am not a slave to the current system in assessing player strength, one has to take a holistic view of the player and the results. Liam Pitchford (who beat Dima in the later half of last year) was the player I was defending in one dimension of this. If you decided to look at ratings central which is a quality of wins and losses indicator and combines performance across various competitions in league, you can get a different result from looking at just the tour rankings. Sometimes they both tell the same story, other times, you can see that a player is doing well in one and not in the other.

Quadri's record speaks for itself, you can focus on the losses in events all you want, but I have pointed out that in addition to having fewer bad losses (though one can debate what a bad loss is when you have to play on tour and cannot withdraw when you do not feel ready to play as was the case when most of the matches you are pointing to happened), he has wins that many of the players who are lower ranked than him do not have. If Dima is your main example, and you think Dima is that far ahead of Quadri based on current form, knock yourself out. I don't think anyone would bet their life on Dima beating Quadri and sleep well at night.

Quadri's record speaks for itself, ... I don't think anyone would bet their life on Dima beating Quadri and sleep well at night.

Totally agree.

Quadri is an amazing player. One can only imagine the heights he might've reached if he'd had the quality coaching and support some of the other world Top 20 players have benefitted from since their youth.

I've had the privilege of seeing Quadri play live against other (non-CNT) world Top 20 players. You can see/feel/hear so much more watching live than you can on TV/YouTube, and I think that anyone who's seen him play live would agree that Quadri's FH is truly special. When he connects it right, it's simply in a different league.

Is this of the younger tt generation?

Can you give me a few reasons why you put Lin Shi Dong for serves?

To me he looks like he always hides the ball.

His serves are nothing fancy and easy to return, but they get the job done. He's supreme in rallies, and his serves set it up for him.

SYB is overrated, hands down. Even KTTA coaches and officials openly criticized her for failing her role as an ace at WTTC 2024.

As I pointed out, SYB had a great team working behind the scene, unlike the naive JTTA with a 70% disapproval.

Not the first time KOR got better seeding through strategic planning. Back before London 2012, where KOR edged GER out of the 2nd seed in MT, in which the trio of RSM, JSH and OSE lay low and made calculated moves at the last moment by flying all the way to multiple Opens in South America for ranking points, blindsiding GER. It was well-discussed over in mainland China back then.

Did you do this manually or with AI?

 

[Crepche]

There are some penholders who have all time great backhands such as Wang Hao and Felix is on his way maybe as well. But Xu Xin isn't one of them lol.

why? He’s been named as the cloud walker ? His shots are absolutely incredible aren’t they?

It's not his backhand that gave him that name...

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

It's not his backhand that gave him that name...

precisely, it was his footwork, hence "walker"
just like johnnie

Did you do this manually or with AI?

With a script I wrote. Nice of you to ask. A STEM grad here. Why do you think I kept posting about AI and robots?

For the first few times here and over at MyTT (gone with the wind T_T), I did it manually, then in Excel, but then the constant needs guaranteed automation.
