WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2023

I think it is pure snake seed so it isn't fixed. He is currently the #3 seed but he can"t play 1, 2 and 4 until the semis I believe. With snake seed he is guaranteed to play 2 of them to get the final but it BBC can't be #4 in the semis if pairings hold but which 2 is an open question.

With a pure snake seed his opponent would be fixed if the seeding holds right? If randomness is introduced then I guess the question would be how many groups are there? Are the top 4 fixed? Or top 8? Top 16?

Basically I'm wondering if being #3 or #4 matters. As it stands, #4 would have to play #5, #3, and #1/2 in the quarters, semis, and finals respectively. That right now would be LJK, ML, and FZD/WCQ. #3 would play #6 which is Calderano. Both ML and Harimoto would probably much prefer to face Calderano than LJK so Harimoto's early exit this tournament could be a big deal for the two as only 165 points separate the two in rankings right now.

A beating from Xiaoxin Yang to Manika Batra. Even een 11-0 ....

I meant that it wasn't.

11‐0 is just a score, it only counts for one game regardless.

Sometimes the top seeds are fixed, as there can be a pretty big difference between #1 and #2. I wonder if that's the case and if so how many seeds.

Made a mistake in my previous statement, it should be #5, #1, then #2/3 for the #4 seed.

Cho Seungmin wants to eliminate the whole Chinese junior team lol.

Amazing win by Lily Zhang. As a Hirano fan of parts, I hope all is well there with the WTTC so close.

 

[blahness]

I'm not exactly sure why Lim Jonghoon loses so many matches in the deciding set. First against Truls in the WTTC, then Fan Zhendong recently and now Zhou Qihao.

I hope Miwa will make it to the final and earn her first epic win on the WTT tour
She just destroyed Polcanova

Kallberg needs to get one - come on.

 

[NextLevel]

Kallberg whenever I watch him has the game that puzzles me the most with respect to not having more wins against the Chinese in recent times. The speed and quality is there - is the mental game really so bad? The match so far is going his way - go Kallberg!

 

[Choosikick]

It looks like Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong had a great time in Bangkok last night - so many unforced mistakes. But that's for the best. The chances of a non-Chinese final are rising.

Good result for Pitch after some poor form - good to see him progressing (Not a great performance from Quadri though...)

I think both played well, Pitch just had a more consistent game plan with opening over the table attacks, made Quadri play more shots than usual and ended up winning more than his fair share of points when he brought the ball back but Quadri was unable to recover to continue his offense.

Fair comment, he also played strongly on his BH side I thought. LGY next may be a challenge…

Miwa lost to the new Korean girl made in China. JOO CheonHui seems as fast, accurate and powerful as a CNT player

Joo made Sun Yingsha sweat bullets at the first time they met so I'm not too surprised if Miwa lost

Cho Seungmin had what it takes to win Yuan. But he essentially went offline and gave up after the second set before losing 1-3 at the end. Quite disappointing

Idk why Cho Seungmin decided to play backhand block, Yuan took advantage and repeatedly put pressure there
