It was just a warm-up. It's already 2-2How did Jang Woojin beat Wang Chuqin in Busan? Home cooking?
This is the lower limit after WTTC 2024 that I predicted during Singapore Smash 2024.keep playing like this and Hirano will make JTTA rethink about her Paris singles spot
Ahem, yours truly keeps making these predictions from an absurdly small sample size.Hirano should have started screaming from game 1. Jeon is not the player she used to be. Don't underestimate a wounded veteran who has nothing left to lose.
JJH could become the YMY at Tokyo 2020. Last Olympics always do the trick, except for Ishikawa.
As pointed out last time, keeping a high win rate against the CNT players AND non-CNT players, the latter of which had no bearings on the selection race (yet Hirano remained unbeaten longer than Hayata and Ito), made little sense.Like I said, she has herself to blame for her world ranking. Jean Jihee is playing well but not 4-0 well against Hirano playing to her level. Seems Hirano is turning it around now. Good for her
What predictions? As far as I know you haven't made any predictions, and are in the game of post-hoc armchair quarterbacking.Ahem, yours truly keeps making these predictions from an absurdly small sample size.

It looks like Lin has some injury issues. His hand is again wrapped in a bandage. The last few sets he didn't look like himself.
The latest example is Russell Westbrook. It got picked up by the local news and people compared him to Messi.Sports is ultimately entertainment and to grow the sport, even when the points are meaningless, it is okay if the players are entertaining. This is what people need to accept if commercialization of the sport is important. All they had to do was plat respectably for one or two meaningless games. Is that really too much to ask?
The effortless and confident way he executes such powerful shots is really intimidating. Plays like the final boss but he's still a kid.What the hell was that point from LSD in 6th set at 7-5? Holy hell
with the calendar cramp after Jan/Feb with monthly majors till olympics (in Dec, there was not much major's listed expect for singapore smash).It looks like Lin has some injury issues. His hand is again wrapped in a bandage. The last few sets he didn't look like himself.
a lot of sacrifices indeed for sport people.The life of a Pro sports player is hardly about roses... I've read about football players too, especially when the European team leagues are still running, the only training they can do at the club is recovery oriented. And when there's an international tournament they can forget any other kind of recovery during the summer too.
Well, Hirano has more matches to play. What are your predictions for where she will get to in this event?This is the lower limit after WTTC 2024 that I predicted during Singapore Smash 2024.
Compared to her teammates, especially Hayata, and other non-CNT top players, Hirano is really a workhorse and the sturdiest here. Between WTTC 2024 and Singapore Smash 2024, Hirano was on a 10-match winning streak (8 at WTTC 2024), beating Hayata and Samara 3-0 before losing 2-3 to Ito after holding 3 match points in G4.
In contrast, Ito was on a 5-match winning streak (2 at WTTC 2024), having a relatively easier draw before losing 2-4 to WMY. Since that loss, Ito has had serious trouble beating non-CNT players.
Last but not least, Hayata, who should have even easier draws as a seeded player like Ito, is really not much better, having serious trouble to overcome Batra 3-2 and blowing the 2-1 lead over SYS at WTT CS Incheon 2024.
