WTT Champions Yokohama 2026, Yokohama, 8/4-9

[J-fed]

The Euro Smash is already in prelims. Truls has a lot of his ranking tied up in the Euro Smash. The question is whether to optimize rest and preparation and avoid switching timezones so close to the event when you have the choice vs playing and dealing with the recovery and jet lag. I suspect that the Europeans who played here didn't take the decision lightly.

Yeah,. Just noticed the smash going on in Sweden so figured that would be the reason. Thanks for the reply. I am just getting back into watching table tennis for the first time since 1990 so everyone’s opinions and information is really interesting. The level is absurd.

No shit man. I thought those pro players just play custom equipment! Btw why all of them just dont buy Mercury 2 from Ali and enjoy amazing results just for fraction of what h3 nat and 09c cost thanks to their body mechanics?

It’s a mystery

I’m guessing Lindh just likes Ramen

The curse has been broken. Now both siblings have won the same tournament together.

And for the moment they are both Japanese!

strong contender for the 3rd spot right now, his technique has become more refined, physicality also

Already approved by some Tieba users, and with some being impressed by Uda as well, whereas Togami is pretty much on death row...

直板且手法 感觉这个真的是厚积薄发了，我一直以为阿姨稳坐第三位，结果现在大登上升期尽头很足

(It feels like this is truly a case of accumulated strength finally paying off. I always thought Auntea was firmly in third place, but now Hiroto's upward trajectory is very promising.)

(Togami is in an awkward position. Go with Hiroto for the 3rd singles at the Asian Games, as Togami is just a street [dog])

(Togami's ball quotient is too low. He just tries to attack recklessly without possessing Matsushima's incredible ball control)

阿姨是不是要沦为日本四哥了，奥运团体不保 (Is Auntea Jenny [Togami] going to become Japan's No. 4, with his Olympic team spot in jeopardy?)

贴吧用户_QZSJDEJ 沪上雨天两人一起滚吧，反正洛奥也上不了了，最多混上29年世乒赛男双，就当28岁沪雨国际大赛谢幕战吧

(Togami and Uda should get lost together. Given they won't qualify for LA. At most, they'll make the MD for WTTC 2029. Consider it their farewell major tournament at age 28)
留吉.: 洛杉矶是两个人最后的机会了，后面就是川上流星来临

(LA is their last chance. After that, it is the advent of Kawakami Ryuusei)

神奇爱哥诺尔先知 现在说为时尚早，看看大登还能不能保持这个拿分的势头吧

(It's too early to say. Let's see if Hiroto can maintain this point-accruing momentum)

双子ikki_fxy 沪上打球要多琢磨下凶稳关系和台内小球，不能只会大路球

(Togami needs to study the relationship between aggressive and conservative play, as well as short balls over the table. He can't just rely on big-road balls)

DiamondSea 户上要有大登的脑子就好了
IP属地:安徽来自Android客户端8楼2026-08-08 23:38回复
(If only Togami had a brain like Hiroto's)

贴吧用户_QZSJDEJ 问题的关键是，人家大登是高贵的左手，不需要单打有多好，只需要跟户上差不多，甚至差一点都能稳上洛奥了
IP属地:广东来自Android客户端11楼2026-08-09 08:43回复
(The key point is that Hiroto is a noble left-hander. He doesn't need to be exceptionally good in MS. He just needs to be roughly on par with, or even slightly less than Togami to secure a spot for LA)

Best way to round up Yokohama - no TTR but lots of yellow/red cards

Best way to round up Yokohama - no TTR but lots of yellow/red cards

WTT should learn from MLTT to use a clock between points for time wasting call. Most people were clueless about the call because most of the time the camera did not follow how time was wasted.
