China Smash 2026, Beijing, 10/1-11

[NextLevel]

Now we will learn who has learned from the past few battles. Winter vs Szocs - flame on!

 

[NextLevel]

Sabine's coach is back and with it returns her form. Bernie played pretty well too. Definitely good enough to win again, but Winter was *much* sharper today and had much more energy to find the forehand.

 

[NextLevel]

It has been an hour now yet there has been no Sabine Wintee thread update. Understable when her last opponrnt was ranked 212. Against Bernie not so much. But of course, all we can wait for is for Sabine to inevitably lose and the thread will be updated rapidly.

What parallel universe are we in.

Thailand Table Tennis have been doing well in recent times particularly the juniors. Many other associations need to learn from them and copy the way they do things as it seems to be working for them.

So curious - whose career would you take? Hina Hayata or Orawan Paranang? I love Paranang's story just as much as I love Wong Chun Ting's, but it is interesting you find another opportunity to bring Hayata into this.

They are teammates in France, he knows Thakkar's game very well and vice versa.

SYS is so influential there is a press conference held for her R32 loss. Are they worried about ticket sales lol

Haha come on, a press conference is standard for a star and World Champion like that, especially in her home country. I am sure they would have done the same for Chen Meng or Wang Manyu, and Sun Yingsha is bigger.

Without SYS, the choppers esp. Hashimoto making further seems much more probable. Maybe WMY should be the one panicking? Loll

Liang knocked out by 17 yearold Taiwanese kid. Wow

He just didn’t come back from a 0:2 down this time.

The number of Sys fans is 10 times of those others together.

I felt wmy was on a higher level recently, but who knows what will happen nowadays.

 

[kindof99]

Pretty sure he will if he wants it. I mean, if Kenta can get a blade, Sora can get a blade.

It will be silly if bty doesn’t make one for sora. Japanese world no 1, first time in 60 years?
