Nope, it's Frankfurt again and Montpellier Champions ends only two days before it. Silly scheduling.

Just curious, where did you see that confirmed?

Player lists are out. No Chinese players because the National Games start on November 9.

It's always fun to see what happens when no Chinese players around to see who wants to claim alpha status in their absence. As long as the Chinese play most of these events, these "CNT are busy elsewhere" events are a fun change up.

I was going to buy a ticket for the last day, but changed my mind because I didn't want to see all Chinese semi-finals/finals lol

But yeah, looking forward to the matches. No Hashimoto is a bummer, though.

Odo v Zeng Jian rematch again.
Ito finally finally gets to take on Yuan Jia Nan again, the woman who kickstarted her downfall, three years later.

Yeah, that's a tough 1st round matchup for Satsuki up against a surging ZJ. I guess it's a Champions level event so you have to expect it, but Hina, who had a 1st round match with WYD in Montpellier, has got another really tough 1st round matchup vs another surging player, Joo Cheonhui. JCH might actually be the toughest of all the players in Hina's quarter or even half.

Well the good news for both of them is that winning one match clears the decks until the quarters. They will face good players don't get me wrong, but they have good records against such players.

WS R32
Odo (4) 3-2 ZJ (9, -6, 5, -4, 9)
G5 46, 66, 67, 87 TO for ZJ, 88, 108, 109 TO for Odo, 119
It came down to who could save the TO until the very end.

Szcos 2-3 Polcanova (4, -11, -5, 6, -3)

First final game but still not getting more than 2 games despite being the CS Szocs.

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ettu-european-championships-2024.35528/post-486835

Szocs has never beaten Polcanova in senior events. Never got more than 2 games. Unless something goes pear-shaped on Polcanova's end, I have a hard time seeing Szocs win.

Polcanova 4 H2H 3 Szocs

Kudos to Szocs for making G2 and G3 somewhat interesting.

WS F
Szocs 1-4 Polcanova (-8, 11, -10, -6, -9)
G2 108, 1011, 1311
G3 71, 99, 109, 1012
G4 20, 21 dead net for Polcanova, 25, 35, 37, 47 slight net for Szocs, 48, 68, 611
G5 13 TO for Szocs, 23, 25, 45, 47, 77, 710, 910, 911

MS R32
OJS 2-3 F. Lebrun (4) (6, 9, -7, -6)
OJS' inexperience saved Lebrun. Streaks of points lost on his own service rounds when leading in the middlegame of both G4 and G5.

WS R32
JCH 2-3 Hayata (-11, 4, 9, -9, -11)
JCH's risky handling of her own serves in the middlegame of G5 and luck for Hayata on JCH's match point saved the day.
