Little Master is on steroids man! What a phenomenal player!

 

[Janard]

Although I have a bias for Tomo for the Japanese men but Sora, damn!!

FanDuel is showing horse racing and darts. Is there no way for Americans to watch without VPN?

Good luck with that, I gave up on that battle during the Olympics run up , it will get worse so juat accept it.

[dewnyc]

Interesting hearing silence after Sora makes incredible shots

Sora ball barely finding the table at 7-10

WCQ can complete a grand slam by winning in LA. Get your tickets for that.

 

[Janard]

Oh wells, you do have to give it to WCQ. He was more adaptable towards the end.

Sorry I also noticed something else at the end

 

[NextLevel]

This event has actually made me a fan of Wang. Well played by both players. Amazing match, instant classic.

World Cup 2026 > WTTC 2025

Harimoto: F Yeah! Me still JPN's No. 1!

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/fo...orld-cup-macao-2025-4-14-20.35712/post-513307

By tradition in the past, WTTC was held at the start of summer (between May and June), Olympics at the end of summer (between July and August) and World Cup at the start of fall (between September and October).

Now it's World Cup then WTTC then Olympics. To be honest, it makes more sense in terms of hierarchy as it raises the prestige of World Cup, which is commonly referred to as 水盃/Water Cup [Water = Weak] in mainland China because of the timing and competition format.

+1, such resilience.

Imagine he puts Zyre03 to BH..

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

I really believed Sora would take it and become an instant GOAT. But in the end WCQ is the great champion, once again.



best match ever, best World Cup ever

 

[Dan]

What a final👏🏆

 

[dewnyc]

Handover ceremony to London for the World Championships (which is just in a few weeks)?

 

[dewnyc]

Handover is to Chengdu for the Mixed Team World Cup

 

[Lando]

WCQ too strong. China should be thankful WCQ is still strong as hell or they'd be screwed on the men's side.

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

unbelievable!!!! congrats WCQ. great fight Sora. wow

 

[piligrim]

WCQ too strong. China should be thankful WCQ is still strong as hell or they'd be screwed on the men's side.

If Sora wasn't so moody he could win. for me both players about same level. WCQ stronger mentally

best match ever, best World Cup ever

Instant GOAT is arguable but Matsushima had the chance to become the youngest-ever World Cup winner. Harimoto is the youngest-ever World Cup runner-up back in 2019, losing to FZD 2-4, whom is still the youngest-ever World Cup winner back in 2016.
