關我撚事，唔好燒埋我嗰疊，又要威又要戴頭盔，鬼食泥噉，正屎忽鬼

The phrase you provided is in Cantonese and contains vulgar slang. Here's a rough translation into English:

"Why the f* should I care? Don't burn my stuff too. Acting all tough but still covering your own ass, like sneaky thieves trying to look innocent. You're such a damn fool."**

This phrase is informal and uses strong language, commonly found in expressions of frustration or disdain in Cantonese.

Tough draw for Miu Hirano getting CXT in R32. She has to go back to the drawing board as she hasn't won a game against a top 5 CNT player since her 3-0 win over WYD at World Teams Championship.

Maybe she is still recovering from injuries. At this point, if she meets someone who she can't break down on the backhand diagonal, the match becomes a slog.

I don't think it's about income. She's very bright and has been very successful post-TT.

Currently, Zhu Yuling also serves as the executive director of a semiconductor technology company in Guangzhou, one of the family businesses.​

okay, I have been corrected by a friend of mine.
the dad should still be loaded.

So it seems like her passion of TT is the only reason we can find.

Macao cannot play OG, since they do not have a NOC
for macao players to play OG, they will need to play under China's NOC, which is Team China
Macao can play under ITTF/WTT, because they do have an independent national federation registered with ITTF.

most logical answer. She comes back from death-threatening cancer. Probably she wants now to focus on the stuff she really loves doing

She was a damn good player, a bit of a throwback, but without the cancer (and Mima Ito), she was next in line for Tokyo.

correct
and with my friends within WTT, the announcement came with a surprised to many within WTT

its a good news, good surprised.
I was a huge fan of her and believed she was good enough to be a grand slam.

Nice win for Gauzy over Kirill, hoping that the French wizard has a good run!

Amy Wang makes me wonder what makes a top player address a weakness like playing against good choppers. Don't they think it will help their technique? Or do they just think it isn't worth it with so few choppers in the game that they should focus on other players and let the top players deal with the choppers?

Very disgusting to see this. But it is what it is, sometimes you can decide to work on only what you enjoy, not what will really improve your game.

change the question
does Amy have the environment to train with top choppers?

Angela is a cool person and very bubbly to be around, but she isn't a high level chopper
not sure who else is there to help out.

I know there was Chinese provincial chopper at Lily Yip few years ago,

Amy looked so uncomfortable out there. Right now Amy doesn't have the consistent controlled spin game in her repertoire ... at least one of the caliber needed to beat a Linda Bergstrom. There's no female chopper in the USA that I know of that is near Linda's level. However, maybe she can get some training time with future MLTT male chopper teammate, Artur Abusev.

MLTT isn't really anything at the moment
they hardly spend enough time together

since Amy is at 888, maybe they could bring in a Korean chopper, since you require full time training. MLTT is at most, part time today.

Wang Wei was coaching at my local club for quite a while, not sure where he's at now but should still be somewhere in California. She could have some lessons with him. He was charging $100 an hour, but maybe he can give her a discount for claiming her as a student. He's a SP chopper though, so not sure if that's what she'd look for.

 

[dingyibvs]

BTW, did you guys notice that LJK appears to have lost some weight? I wonder if that's gonna make a difference for his game.

Anyone knows how is it possible that since they have chosen 10 top players, they are not seeded. Logically, they should play in the first rounds with the weaker ones outside the top 10 and only in the next rounds against each other.

when people result to vulgar, it gives a clear indication of their moral compass.
No surprise such attribute links to cyber bullying of Japanese women's table tennis players for years to decade long.

I'm sure in the background zeio is trying to find out who has retired from CNT and he is struggling

here is her shirt, to give a size estimate

There are lots of choppers in the US. Kewei Li still runs a club in Houston. Its not about whether she can but whether they are willing to invest the time and money.

888 is the richest club in the Americas, investing is an understatement

America has a huge club politics, I doubt 888 will be using another club owner's service, or at least that is my understanding.

IMO, I would rather have Amy playing in top European leagues (not sure if she is registered, but I see Sally and Rachel in Germany 1st bundesliga). Amy should also play Jia A table tennis too, since its easier to get in than super league

You can go to any club in America and work with a coach. It has nothing to do with club politics, their parents were not broke then. These players have been importing and switching clubs and coaches since they were kids. The first time I met Jishang Liang in 2011, he was Allen and Amy's coach brought in to train them. Same with Henry (Zhongqi Zhang). It is far more about what the player prioritizes, even today. They may not have regular exposure but they can get someone to hit with them extensively if they want the training.

I haven't seen Jian Li in a while but he was also training and coaching for a while.
