Butler said Ishiy was playing with a rib injury. We will see how much of an impact it has when he faces the solid Cifuentes.

He’s doing okay but Cifuentes is just better at finishing off the set. Will be tough now that Nandan’s 2-0 down

Cifuentes is really strong. Plays well in French league. A good dark horse pick.

He could very well make the final. Destroying Nandan in the fourth. Let’s see if he can beat either Mino or Eugene

Good timeout by Park at 2-0 4-2 but Cifuentes weathers the storm

Mo played yesterday and Pauline played a few hours ago. Do better, Panamerican schedulers. This is even worse in thr case of Kanak and Lorenzo.

Disappointing result for Edward but fair play to Jouti. Hoping for a Eugene masterclass tomorrow!

Duran is in MLTT by the way. Well past his prime to play in MLTT despite being an 11 tine national champion (Robles has probably stolen his lunch lol). And he loses his fair share of matches too.

Robles doesn't really play national champs in Spain. So it is a match for the best of the rest to fight for the title.
and I noted Duran is in MLTT with a 73% win rate during my other post already.

that mean my unranked player could possible go and cause upsets in MLTT too. But since you know, I am speaking with MLTT.
Wang imo is stronger than Yoyo and he does have the potential to be 2800+ like other players below him just 2 years ago, one of them being Kao

Wang's problem is more shattered dreams - while he sees others surpassing him during the national trials/ranking tournament and that has hurt his confident a lot (but he still posses top rally ability with some of the strongest in Taiwan)
With me helping him with leagues, he can see he can have a life together or separate from national team representation.

I know that Iizuka is a good player especially when he's firing on all cylinders like he was in games 1-4 yesterday, and not as much in games 5-7. In fact I think he's actually better than Walker despite the 2-3 loss here.

But how do we contextualize any of this when Iizuka's BL winrate is 0% this season and Jha's is 65%?

one can ask, how many years in TTBL is Kanak versus that of Iizuka
Feng had a bad debut season and needed 2 to 3 years to really cement his place.
sadly his WTT isn't as good as TTBL

Jouti imploded against Kanak in the first semifinal.

Jouti imploded against Kanak in the first semifinal.

And it seems Mo is as well against Lily

I am not sure I would call it an implosion, it was just Jha now being in rhythm and playing his level while Jouti also played his level.

Looking like we will get our USA Canada final but with a different Canadian than expected. Eugene has managed to turn back the clock a bit this tournament.

Sorry for getting off topic. I watched a live match and just want to say

The Pan American Cup live stream is 10x better than WTT Singapore Smash live.

Better frame rate and better angle.

Thank you for bringing the visual joy of table tennis 🔥🔥🔥

Eugene has moved like never before this tournament, and his shots are more powerful imo too. Though I wonder if it’s because he finally switched away from from H3 and W968. I noticed he’s now using Alexis Lebrun blade and K3 both sides. Maybe it’s to help get more speed with less effort and still a good amount a spin due to his age

Finals Prediction:
Jha 4-1 Eugene
Takahashi 4-2 Lily

I guess he moved because badly want to win to get rating points

Eugene is one of the bigger EJs amongst pro players that I am aware of. Will be more interesting to see how long this equipment change lasts.

How do you know he's using K3 both sides, is he sponsored by Tibhar now?
