WTT Star Contender Lanzhou 2023

[TensorBackhand]

I was just hoping to see Majin play in the olympics, because he is WAY better than the last team we sent. I think the last team was made up up 2400 level players??

 

[TensorBackhand]

Hayata Harimoto starting now. LGY vs TB later on, and ML in action too.

But the match I'm most intrigued by is Miwa vs Shin Yubin.

Lebrun vs Lin Shidong isn't bad either.

I don't know why I try when you continue to make up stuff with your ERT approach. Even if we exclude Kanak Jha, Xin Zhou and Nikhil Kumar are hardly 2400 level players, even if they don't look super to you.

That's not the team I was referring to. I think it was Aldo Jr? and Lupinsky.

 

[TensorBackhand]

They actually played alright, but they just didn't seem to be anywhere near the level of Kou Lei and Majin.

Now that I think of it, it probably wasn't Olympics, but world championships or some other big tournament.

Yes, the WTTTC in 2022 in Chengdu. Details matter...

Ok, well it would just be really cool if Majin can play the next big one for the USA.

Hayata seems better from midrange than Harimoto.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Harimoto has missed a number of mid-range FH loops. His FH is clearly his worst shot, but especially from distance.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Another bad FH miss from harimoto to lose the 3rd game. Lim and Hayata would be a better pairing. Clearly Harimoto and Shin yubin are the weak link

And the fact that you are pairing two lefties doesn't interfere with your thought process?

 

[TensorBackhand]

WTH was that FH miss from Harimoto?? And people seriously don't think he needs to re-think his training.

so many misses from the FH side

 

[TensorBackhand]

And as expected, a Harimoto FH miss to lose the 4th game

 

[TensorBackhand]

I feel bad for Lim, he clearly was trying to be the workhorse and take extra risky shots to make up for the weakness of his partner.

Ma Jinbao in the quarterfinals now. When was the last time an American player got that far in a WTT event?

I knew it, Majin Buu is the best

 

[NextLevel]

His next opponent is very serious business. If he survives that, then whoever he plays next should blank him. But I don't expect him to survive.

Oh well, he surived Yoshiyama. But Lebrun/Shidong? I guess I can be wrong about the blanking. But I think not...

Kanak reached the MS SF at WTT Contender Muscat II 2022.
Lily reached the WS F at WTT Feeder Fort Lauderdale 2022 and WTT Feeder Westchester 2022.

Rise, Asian Americans!

did anybody thinks that Tomo Harimoto had a complete arse of a doubles game against the 2 Koreans ?? Hayata played a top game though.

Hayata looking like she can play comfortably in men's singles top 30 at this point.
