I know, but why split the streaming of ITTF events onto two channels.
Yeah, I promise I will never again complain about Adam Bobrow being too self-oriented in his commentary
I think ITTF gave WTT their channel
No one really knows what is going on between ITTF and WTT. ITTF is like an old good fellow, and WTT is WTT.
I think you might be right. The oldest videos and livestreams on the ITTFWorld channel are from two years ago.
Different but related organizations. I have made the analogy before that the ATP and WTA is to ITF what the WTT is to ITTF (limitations around prize money and true source of money in tennis vs TT notwithstanding). While all ATP events are ITF events, not all ITF events are ATP events. Similarly, while all WTT events are ITTF events, not all ITTF events are WTT events. And of course, players have greater influence and control of the ATP and WTA.
Ito took her weird timeout again, this time after winning two points in a row from 2-6 down. Again it worked in her favour, she came back to win the next three points to make it 7-6 until Suthasini broke the momentum with her own timeout. Ito's playing her usual, can't rally for nuts and had more errors than usual so the result is not surprisingly, plus Suthasini was really prepared to counter all of Ito's now predictable patterns. But what I'm really curious about the logic behind this timeout...
Agreed. Both player knew their place in the pecking order and especially at this level Table tennis is a "dog eats dog" sport.
Still pretty high, though Suthasini is more realistically closer to the #2 player than the #3 player in the group. A lot will depend on Sawettabut-Wang, if Amy wins a game or 2, Mima will be fine, Mima will only be under pressure with a 4-0 win by Suthasini as Mima should easily beat Amy, who struggles often when the opponent doesn't give her spin to counterspin.
It's funny how we were all saying in the Dusseldorf feeder thread that, due to his loss to Jha, AJH was a flash in the pan and Cho Daesong would've handled him if in good condition.
Each match has 4 games, regardless of the winning/losing games. So it can be a tie, but the total point won/lost matter at the end. That is why Hirano went all out to win 25 points
Or better Jha is better than WCQ, who is tied with AJH?It's funny how we were all saying in the Dusseldorf feeder thread that, due to his loss to Jha, AJH was a flash in the pan and Cho Daesong would've handled him if in good condition.
Then he goes out to tie WCQ just a couple of days later. This sport is hard to predict. BTW, does this mean Jha is on WCQ's level?
