ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

[joshmak10]

Slightly unrelated but I think Truls and Anton’s beef has been resolved, at least from what it looks like, I noticed truls watching and applauding anton in his match right now, and the two have followed each other back on IG after not following each other for a while

WMY on 3-0 Akula in the mixed zone.

"I think the last time I played Akula was right after [WTTC] Busan in Singapore [Smash], so I believe she was probably more confident and in high spirits back then, and people weren't as familiar with or used to her playing style. But over the past few years, as we've played against her more often and become more familiar with her, I think we're better prepared."

#王曼昱3比0阿库拉# 赛后采访🎙️（湿漉漉刘海
我觉得上一次跟阿库拉交手也是釜山刚刚打完的新加坡，所以从我认为当时的她可能从信心上，包括整个心气儿上还是更足一些，包括大家对她的打法也并不是特别地了解和适应。但是经过了这几年，慢慢地大家的这种交手更多了以后，对她越来越熟悉之后，我觉得还是准备上会更加地充分吧。

首先还是在赛前准备上就做好了一上来会比较艰苦的准备，或者说对她的球路、球性并不是吃得特别准，所以也给自己这样的一个容错率。所以在落后的情况下，还是自己比较有耐心吧，然后让自己还是专注到自己的，不管是发球轮还是接发轮。

我觉得首先还是这一次的调动还是不错吧，然后包括技术方面的这种状态也都还不错，所以还是希望能够延续这样的状态💪#王曼昱世界杯晋级16强# [http://t.cn/AXI9HnBe] Moonlight_Rio的微博视频

What is Hugo playing? New wood but XIOM rubber still? At least at VH?

 

[Janard]

How did KNY lose 0-3 to YJN. Doesn't look good for Korea's #2 (or is it 3-5 if we count the naturalised Chinese in the team).

YJN 3-0 KNY (7, 7, 2)

Despite KNY's low back injury, she will need to find a way around combination players to stand a chance for LA28, now that KTTA is yet again under public scrutiny...

金娜英3比1李春丽 赛后采访🎙️
首先今天来到这里打比赛，我的腰是状态非常地不好。因为我腰上有伤，所以我在训练的时候也最大程度的保证我的腰的情况不恶化，所以这是我来到这场比赛的首要的重点。其次呢，对于这种特殊打法，我和我的教练在训练的时候也针对性地做出了训练。 [http://t.cn/AXIXReS0] Moonlight_Rio的微博视频

Calderano barely makes the KO stage...

Togami almost twisted off his knee on that smash at 9:10 of G3...

 

[dewnyc]

Dima was down 0-2 and in danger of not advancing then changed his fortunes by taking the next 2 games

TTR challenge by Dima on match point lol

 

[Janard]

Lol what's with challenging the serve towards the end?

 

[zeio]

LJK just keeps sliding.
Some of the results he has had are very surprising, especially considering how well he was playing just 2 yrs ago and also the quality of opposition/training partners he has.
It leads me to conclude he has lost his hunger for it and is very close to finished right now

The consensus in China is that finishing with a MS bronze for the 4th consecutive time at WTTC 2025 was the last straw for LJK.

OTOH, LGL once pointed out that LJK is "grand slam material below the neck," which means that his game was very reliant on his form, and so it's not surprising he would drop off the radar as soon as injuries catch up to him.

p.s. In retrospect, LGL's speech back in 2/2017 was very insightful, where he said he saw the fire in FZD, a little bit in LJK albeit always coming up short and also WCQ who was too big for his boots.

Rules are rules but damn I expect the haters to come out now.

Dima is the king of tight games. Today he shows why he was a World Cup winner and a Olympic Bronze medalist.

Also:
- No Xue Fei but there is still the tricky penholder (QD) for Tomo!
- Ito skipped Chong Qing because she always tends to draw CNT players for round 1 there... Now gets WMY for essentially 'round 1' of the knockouts

With the Doubles World Cup 2027 next year whats going to happen with the Singles World Cup.

There has been no announcement on who the host will be for the Singles World Cup next year. I’m thinking the Singles World Cup may have been change to an event every 2 years with the Doubles World Cup that has been added.

If they are continuing with the Singles World Cup every year who will be the host for 2027. Is it going to be Macao or somewhere else?

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Hana Goda with the Impressive 3-0 (4,7,5) win over CIC to get to the knockout stage.
