ITTF-Pan American Cup-2025

[JackJohnson]

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 🔥🔥🔥

1080p and 60 fps streams for the Pan Am. WTT for Smash, Finals and Champions is 1080p and 30 fps streams on Youtube. I’ve notice when they upload each match footage after the stream ends it’s 2160p and 60 fps. Is it not possible for WTT to have the live streams on Youtube 2160p/60fps?

Someone hypothesized that Kanak gets paid by the point. I am starting to subscribe to that theory.

Great match, worthy of a final.

Who won the WS? Or is that still pending a final?

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?

Idk any other rubber with the beige white sponge of K3, unless someone wants to enlighten me?

There are plenty but I wasn't saying you are wrong but just asking. If he is using the Felix blade it would make sense to be K3/K3Pro.

Interesting how two counterpunchers played each other. Kanak decided to attack first, looked strong the first two games. In game 3 Eugene started attacking early and seemed to get the upper hand for the next couple of games until Kanak clawed back from 6-10 down in game 6 and had two match points before Eugene forced game 7. That game had a few incredible points, but was decided by an uncharacteristic flurry of unforced errors by Eugene. Great match, worth the long wait.

It was scheduled at 6:50PM local time. About to start.

Eugene Wang got some cracking backhands and forehands, with amazing shot quality that probably not sustainable.

Yeah but I’m pretty sure the design is alexis blade. Hard to say tho the angles aren’t great but I’m fairly certain he’s using Alexis blade, for sure a Tibhar blade.

Congrats to Kanak who fought off a very worthy opponent in Eugene Wang. Congrats to Bruna Takahashi who went into Amazon Warrior Princess mode in game 7. Lily put up a great fight despite dealing with an injured playing arm.

Fortunate to see the finals and catch a signed ball from Kanak lolol. Also realized a bunch of the players were seated right beside/by us.

awesome event, enjoyed the matches a lot and very exciting finals!

 

[SilvestriDaVini]

Happy for Bruna!

I think this win gets Kanak 500 ranking points which would bump him from 45 to 26. That's a big deal as he can avoid the perilous qualifying rounds even in the star contenders. It gets much harder from here. Another 500 points would get him to 17, and 500 more to 13, and those are more difficult points against tougher competition...

Only one continental - Dr Evil was speaking generally about getting points.
