This is really strange as Spokane II should technically have started, but I don't see that any matches have been played. And there is no YouTube video of any matches for Spokane II. Will have to check back tomorrow... Maybe they decided to only livestream the main draw.

USA Table Tennis is streaming 4 tables of ITTF World Para Elite Spokane.

Unheralded player Reina Aso played like a queen against Sreeja Akula coming from down 0-2 to win 3-2,11-3. Often known for her doubles play with Asuka Sasao. The two are the All Japan WD Champions. But she's showing that she's not just a doubles player. She has a great fast, long serve. A pretty tall player, she generates power easily. Makes good in game adjustments. I so want her to win the WS title now.

Levenko lost it vs long pips ox.

”Never played rubber like this before”
”He is cheating”
”This is not correct”
”Racket control”

I actually like what I am seeing from Chulong Nie. He has a very nice forehand loop and twiddle effortless.

I am very impressed how he handled Levenkos immature accusations, just ignoring him. It will be interesting to see how he develops and how much room there is for an aggressive long pips player in WTT.

NGL, I was sad to say Reina Aso losing yesterday after she had beaten Sreeja. However, if it's going to be anyone, I'm glad it was our own Sally Moyland. Congratulations Sally making the SF. She has a rematch with Saki Shibata where she lost a very close 3-2,11-8 match. Although the odds are heavily against her, I want Sally to go all the way now. She has Saki in the SF and potentially either HItomi Sato or Kaho Akae in the other half.

The USA can be proud of what Sally has already done getting to the SF preventing an all Japan SF in Spokane II that we saw in Spokane I. You can tell when she plays that this young lady is driven. And yes, @Tony's Table Tennis , Taiwan can be proud for being a training ground for her success as well.

yep.
right now, we have quite a few sparing partners in USA, Sally bought over a few to use herself and for her club too.
I'm sure you (and other US based players), will come across more and more Taiwanese players too.

An interesting aspect of playing the same tournament two times in a row, 3 out of 4 semifinalists are the same both for women and men. Could it be then that the element of luck impacts the draw, but not the outcome of individual matches?

The cream rises to the top. For the women, Japan is expected to be strong even though the ones in this tournament are not the more well known players (other than Hitomi Sato and perhaps Saki Shibata). Kudos to Sally for taking a SF spot beating Japan's Reina Aso who beat 2nd seeded Sreeja Akula.

i think this feeder is inaccurate - since the amount of participants vs level is inaccurate.
you have 3 groups
Asian/European group that flew in, where Asians are pretty strong - look at the ratio in both SF
Strong US group
Gap fillers US group

also to note, there are very little participants, R64 is actually mostly direct byes to R32.
Should probably look at other back to back events with stronger and bigger playing field.
these 2 events, the playing field is extremely lopsided

Sato loses again to Akae in the semifinal. First game it looked like she really wanted the revenge. Akae persevered though and had dirty luck to win a crucial point in the last game. Definitely worth a watch with many bonkers rallies and Sato defending out of view.

The battle of similar names in MS Finals, Park Gyuhyeon vs Park Ganghyeon. Both Koreans, both lefties, and only difference in their names is “Gyu” vs “Gang”

Congrats to Kaho Akae! She held back a furious comeback from Saki Shibata to win the WS title.

They could be brothers. Not just cause of their family name Park but they both have hyeon in their name as I’m notice with Korean siblings the parents like to add something that can relate to the siblings/family line.

I’d be interested to know if that’s true. If anyone knows for sure would love to to hear from you
