WTT CHAMPIONS MONTPELLIER

The French fanboys can give the Chinese fangirls a run for their money.

Can the crowd help Pavade get past SHW?

Pavade has more trouble handling the higher chops, especially those more than 2 times the net height. That changed the tone of the match after G3. Could be dangerous if it stretches to G5. G4 75 to 711, 6 in a row?

But also incredible performance from Marcus Freitas, fantastic play.

Anyway, if I had all-power ;-), among other things, I'd just make Alexis play the FZD right now - I'd really be interested to see it now.

Congrats to Pavade! Great spin control and patience.

Freitas knew how to play Alexis. 3W0L before this. Alexis could very well have lost again if not for the home crowd.

Super aggressive plan indeed, but later Alexis adapted in exchanges and avoided MF's FH whenever possible... The crowd's reaction to what they perceived as MF's delaying (to put it diplomatically) may have indeed boosted Alexis ;-)

It seems like we have 2 threads for this tournament, is it possible to merge them together https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-champions-montpellier.33332/page-2#post-487566

We have gone through 2 days and we haven’t even finished the round of 32.
Compared to the ATTC, the Champions is a holiday outing 😂

After the impressive performance in 2023 and 2024, it's difficult to imagine that Paranang has actually lost more than she has won so far in 2024 (21W27L, this one included). The last time was back in 2018.

That's twice this year as far as I know. I would have died the first time from pain.

This bearded umpire is on a hunt. Both Harimoto and Uda got faulted for hiding the ball on serve in the second game. Harimoto wasn't even warned once for hiding, only for not tossing vertically which was fair. Uda got called out previously for not removing his arm immediately which was also fair.

Freitas not happy with Alexis’ coach comments

Odo's speed can be overwhelming if you're not able to handle it. She beats Meshref easily 3-0 (4,5,6).

First making the finals of the European Champs and now taking out LGY. We're seeing a new Duda.
