WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

MLin told WYD "對，別慌就行/right, just don't panic" during the TO at 14:13 of G2, Kihara serving. LOL

Will any of the Chinese women lose?

Doesn't matter if the shirt at the top of the podium is red, does it?

 

[jbvttcc]

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

Jian Li has been coaching at Westchester Table Tennis Center for a few months now

Roughly the same odds as the men, that is, higher than usual. WTT CS Macao (2022-2024) is slowly but surely becoming a hotbed of upsets.

MS QF
QD 3-2 LJK (-2, -8, 10, 5, 5)

Time for Miwa to show more growth.

LYJ played well, but he wasn't able to play at the exceptional level that Harimoto and LSD exhibited yesterday while LSD was able to maintain that level of play, and you can see the results. World class gets 3-0'd by god-like.

Cant blame him - even FZD can lose to LSD when he plays like he is on LSD (pun intended)

邱党打的好聪明 大胖太死板了 (QD played very smart, Dapang was too rigid)

zhan号注销中 党子也是一个样子，到了商业赛突然会打了，奥运有这种水平也不至于输给门科 (Dangzi [TL's note: Son Dang] is the same, he suddenly knows how to play in commercial tournaments, and he wouldn't have lost to Menko [Gerassimenko] if he displayed this level in the Olympics)

Maybe because of playing style, LSD seems to be able to handle LYJ with ease. I remember, last time they met, LSD also scored a convincing victory.

I think Harimoto is a lot less aggressive in his BH opening loops against heavy pushes in recent history. He is somehow just content with defending his close table position and doing somewhat of a lukewarm BH opening loop (varying between light spin and heavy spin). If he were to train a quality killer BH loop against heavy push down the line, he will be a lot more dangerous to push against. Not saying that the BH opening loop is not good, it works even better when there is the threat of a powerloop.

Harimoto mentioned the point at 7:7 in G7 against FZD at Paris 2024 where his BH opener got killed by FZD was what sealed his fate and how his game had been centered around "stability" and he had to be more aggressive.

I think Miwa will beat CXT. They've never played each other before, but Miwa can draw upon her experience of beating WYD . She'll need to take risks by occasionally switching to bh parallel rather than staying on the diagonal like what Hirano did. Gotta make sure she's constantly testing CXT's footwork.

It is really a reminder that Kiril is tough.

CXT 1-3 Harimoto (6, -7, -7, -5)nes above

Great performance by 16 year-old Miwa! Superb BH counter-hitting and sharpness all round. She gets past Chinese no 5 lady, but the ones above CJT are not astronomically better.

Harimoto of Kazakhstan.

Truls has been Kao'ed

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Taiwan is developing a really good Men's Team with LYJ and KCJ. Feng Yi-Hsin is pretty good too, but if he could step it up, the team balance will be really good.

Now if Wang wins, it will be an all China descendants semi-final lol.
