WTT Contender Almaty 2025 Sep 2-7

[NextLevel]

Is this my idea? I think that in doubles Hitto was attacking more than in singles? Maybe she feels more comfortable to attack?

The beloved girls, got the 1st place in the WD

She has more time ans she is actually the close to the table forehand finisher amongst the two. But no, it is not just you, many people think Sato is the more aggressive player in the pairing.

the record of sato/hashimoto against CNT is other non-chinese player dream, congrats to them for a total domineering performance

Am I the only one who forgets why Yuan Licen is a CNTvplayer until I watch matches like this?

 

[NextLevel]

Doubles is interesting. Matsushima killed Yuan Licen. Few would argue that Yogami and Xu are not on the same level. Yet this doubles match is consistently being won by the pairing of "worse players"

 

[fore.n.back]

Togami looks like he deliberately let go, but both him and Matsushima were unstable as heck, I hope he can strive for the long awaited wtt singles title though

Best of seven i think helps him, his opponent has been on form for a while now so Togami really needs help.

I think they will need to bring out a Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu pairing. They really should let these chopping ladies try for LA 2028

She feels more comfortable and secure in doubles. This is something she needs to work in the singles matches. If she does so, then she will be as high as Honoka in the rankings

WS Final
Hashimoto vs Qin Yuxuan 4-0 (4,5,7,6)

G3 3:7, 6:7, 7:7 (great defensive effort), 8:7 (Reverse serve winner), 11:7

Congrats to Hashimoto on another outstanding performance and WTT title! She navigated her landmines better than SXY. I bet SXY didn't have Sakura Yokoi on her anti-landmine radar.

Seeing Honoka dancing with the racket now I really want her to break into top 10. Would be good for diversity table tennis. Congrats Honoka Hasimoto!!

I think the issues are more than that, I think Saro also uses traditional LP though i could be wrong. You need variation to keep these attackers off you you need variation

Ninja table tennis is in the building!

Togami is hitting the ball so hard the opponent needs to get the first attack. It is unusual for Zhou to survive such.... but he is trying ideas for sure. 2-0 now.

And why not?
After all, there were women defenders in the Top 10, albeit for a short time....

Togami had like 4 service aces in that game 2. If he can keep up this sort of smart play and add it to his already unparalleled athleticism, things will come together for him.

But I feel like whenever I say something like this he just self-detonates.

Absurdly long shoelaces version of Honoka is unbeatable in Contender level events.

It is known.

Zhou is fighting through it. The problem with playing this fast is what happens when the misses pile up. Does Togami have a good lower gear?

He's more likely to try to shift into 7th or 8th gear and then hit the NOS button until his motor explodes lol

Zyre - playing with fire...

Now it is 2-2. Can Togami put the ball on the table just one more time than his opponent? Even at the pro level, hitting winners is sometimes overrated....
