AAA街头手工馄饨 有一说一，我觉得现在这情况，朱雨玲反而成了他们那批里职业生涯最长的人了，勉强也算因祸得福了吧

(To be honest, given the situation, I think ZYL has become the one with the longest career from that class of players, which can be considered a blessing in disguise)

[Tony's Table Tennis]

LYJ convinced ZYL to switch to Butterfly at the end of 2020...

How did LYJ convinced ZYL when ZYL was already thinking of changing before LYJ let ZYL test his racket out?
at most, LYJ was just someone who shared his experience on T05 Hard.
ZYL was already thinking of moving back to Butterfly, LYJ at most just helped her to decide T05.

So how did LYJ convince ZYL?

So how did LYJ convince ZYL?

Why? What blade and backhand rubber was she using before retiring?

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Why?

why what?

 

[Robin0910]

why what?

Huh? “Why? What blade and backhand rubber was she using before retiring?”
you don’t see the entire message?

I saw the last part, but why you ask "why" on the message "So how did LYJ convince ZYL?"

 

[Robin0910]

I saw the last part, but why you ask "why" on the message "So how did LYJ convince ZYL?"

Yes. Wasn’t she a regular H3 on forehand player? Also, what blade was she using before switching?

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Yes. Wasn’t she a regular H3 on forehand player? Also, what blade was she using before switching?

can't remember what she used, but she was all butterfly when she was younger and pre CNT, and went in CNT, she changed fh to H3.

and in the butterfly china news, she said that she wanted to go back to butterfly rubbers on the forehand. just like when she was younger.
and by chance, LYJ was training in China and they trained together and LYJ was using T05H and he complimented the rubber, likely did some few hits and she was happy with it.

回归赛场整整一年，我始终心怀感恩，努力追求梦想。那段特殊的经历没有击垮我，在巨大的困难面前，我没有放弃自己，也始终相信，这个世界依然是美好的。

自七月美国站比赛以来，我持续遭遇多轮网络暴力，无端的指责、恶意的造谣、持续的骚扰……让我倍感压力。起初，我选择“清者自清”，默默承受，只希望能专注于训练与比赛。但一再的隐忍，换来的却是施暴者的得寸进尺、肆无忌惮。

今年八月，我已正式提起民事侵权诉讼，希望以法律手段维护自己的合法权益。原本，我愿意静待司法程序的进展，不再做过多回应。

但在本周澳门WTT冠军赛期间，接连发生两起严重的场内场外人身骚扰事件，已经严重干扰到我作为运动员的正常参赛秩序与个人安全。这一刻，我明白：沉默，已经不足以保护自己。

今天比赛结束，放下球拍，我决定不再沉默，勇敢站出来——不仅为了自己，更为了捍卫每一个在困境中坚持梦想、不该被恶意伤害的人。我将继续坚定运用法律武器，维护应有的尊严与正义。

我始终相信，正义或许会迟到，但绝不会缺席。跨越困难从来不是终点，它让我更加认清自己，也更有勇气坚定前行。这一路风雨没有让我退缩，而我，也终将迎来属于自己的万里晴空。
(Returning to the arena for a whole year, I have always been grateful and strive to pursue my dreams. That special experience did not defeat me. In the face of great difficulties, I did not give up on myself, and I always believed that the world was still beautiful.

Since the July tournament in the United States [US Smash 2025], I have continued to encounter many rounds of cyber violence, unprovoked accusations, malicious rumors, and continuous harassment... all of which put me under pressure. At first, I chose to believe "the truth will reveal itself" and silently bear, only wishing to focus on training and competition. But repeated tolerance has only resulted in the abuser becoming more and more aggressive and unscrupulous.

In August this year, I have formally filed a civil tort lawsuit, hoping to protect my legitimate rights and interests by legal means. Originally, I was willing to wait for the progress of the judicial process and not respond too much.

However, during the WTT Champions Macao [2025] this week, two serious incidents of personal harassment on and off the court occurred one after another, which have seriously interfered with my normal competition order and personal safety as an athlete. At that moment, I understand that silence is no longer enough to protect myself.

At the end of today's match, putting down the racket, I decided not to be silent and stand up bravely - not only for myself, but also to defend everyone who insists on their dreams in a difficult situation and should not be maliciously hurt. I will continue to firmly use legal weapons to uphold due dignity and justice.

I have always believed that justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Overcoming difficulties is never the end. It makes me more aware of myself and have more courage to move forward firmly. This wind and rain did not let me back down, and I, will eventually usher in their own clear sky.)

ZYL on beating Ito and CY at US Smash 2025 in the latest interview with Table Tennis World.

再战伊藤美诚，“她显得比我更紧张”
美国大满贯赛半决赛，朱雨玲对阵伊藤美诚。老球迷们看到这个对阵不禁会想到2018年的瑞典公开赛和2019年的奥地利公开赛，时隔多年，却是最近的这两次交手，朱雨玲都输给了伊藤。
“我也知道这是一场焦点之战，但我自己挺平静的，只记得那几天我一直在改签机票，因为没想到我能一场一场打到半决赛。我现在的训练时长和职业运动员差别很大，所以我打比赛心态也很好。看到对手是伊藤的时候，我第一反应是想在拉斯维加斯找一个反手生胶打法的人陪我练一练。”
复出赛场将近一年，朱雨玲没有机会和生胶打法的运动员进行训练和适应，她身边只有一个场外指导陪伴她参赛和训练。但功夫不负有心人，朱雨玲惊喜地找到了一个揣着球拍来看比赛的华人球迷。
“我临阵磨枪。赛前和他练了大概45分钟，我当时需要把对颗粒打法的节奏找到。后来我上场后打第一个球就对上点了，接着就对伊藤的节奏心里有数了。那场比赛后，我也说过这段感受，就是以我对伊藤的了解，我认为她那天十分紧张。从入场到挑边，伊藤一直都没有直视过我，握手的时候，她手的温度也不是很高。当时我的感觉很奇妙，好像脱离出了赛场，成为了一个‘第三视角’，我告诉自己她状态有点紧，她很想赢这场比赛，那我这边沉浸到比赛中就行了。”
“决赛前两局上去摸不到球，好像没打过比赛似的，手都是生的。第二局输下来，局间教练跟我说，‘这场球有的打，但是你现在人没有投入进去’。他这句话让我一下醒过来了，有了不要在决赛中留遗憾的想法了。最后是‘黏’下来了那场比赛，‘今天我能赢下来，以后这么打肯定不行’，我赛后一直在想下一次我该怎么打。”

Facing Mima Ito again, "She seemed more nervous than me"

In the semifinals of the US Smash, Zhu Yuling faced Mima Ito. Veteran fans couldn't help but recall the 2018 Swedish Open and the 2019 Austrian Open, years later, yet Zhu Yuling lost both of their most recent encounters to Ito.

"I knew this was a highly anticipated match, but I was quite calm. I only remember constantly changing my flight tickets those days because I didn't expect to make it to the semifinals. My training schedule is very different from that of professional athletes, so my mindset was very good. When I saw my opponent was Ito, my first thought was to find someone in Las Vegas who uses a short pips backhand to practice with." Having been back on the court for almost a year, Zhu Yuling hadn't had the opportunity to train and adapt to players using short pips. She only had an off-court coach accompanying her for matches and training. But hard work pays off; Zhu Yuling was pleasantly surprised to find a Chinese fan who brought her racket to watch the match.

"I crammed at the last minute. I practiced with him for about 45 minutes before the match, and I needed to find my rhythm against the pips style. After that, I hit the "point" right on my first shot, and then I got a feel for Ito's rhythm. I talked about this feeling after that match, because based on my understanding of Ito, I think she was very nervous that day. From entering the court to the coin toss, Ito never looked me directly in the eye, and when we shook hands, her hand wasn't very warm. I had a strange feeling at the time, as if I had detached myself from the court and become a 'third-person perspective.' I told myself..." She seemed a bit tense; she really wanted to win this match, so I just needed to focus on the match itself.

"In the first two games of the final, I couldn't even touch the ball; it was like I'd never played before, my hands were rusty. After losing the second game, my coach told me during the break, 'You've got a shot here, but you're not fully engaged.' His words immediately woke me up, and I decided I didn't want to have any regrets in the final. In the end, I "stuck" to it and won. 'I could win today, but I definitely can't play like this again,' I thought about how I should play next time after the match."

[Zwill]

I didn't see the match but kinda surprised she lost to Adriana. Maybe she couldn't handle Adrian's extra power and speedy shots? Hope I don't forget to watch it.
I really cheer for ZYL after her difficult fight.

 

[zeio]

It's hard to tell whether she was affected by her father's debt getting publicized (it's said a creditor had posted about the then upcoming court hearing on 10/30) or she is peaking for the National Games. OTOH, Diaz beating WYD probably wasn't a fluke.

US Smash 2025 and just now WTT Champions Doha 2026 under the belt for ZYL.

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/wtt-feeder-cagliari-2024-10-22-27.35632/post-488718

With the WTT schedule, ZYL's style (多板相持/multiple-shot exchanges) that started with ZYN (who actually played aggressive serve-n-attack at first and lost quite a bit) and continued by DN could see a comeback. It's too hard to maintain the aggressive playing style that CNT pushed but was popularized by Hirano first in 2017.

Hirano (158cm) has also transitioned away from it since 2019 and completed in 2023. Ito (152cm) picked up from Hirano but an Olympic cycle later she is as good as washed-up. Hayata (167cm) took it from there, pushed it to the extreme and she has been out of action for multiple times between 2018 and 2024. Kihara (164cm) and Nagasaki (164cm) broke through Hirano and Ito at Lion Cup 2022, the 1st selection trial for Pairs 2024 but then fell behind as time went by. Harimoto (166cm), even with her gifted physique, ran out of breath at the end of ATTC 2024 and WTT CS Montpellier 2024.

Odo (152cm) and Yokoi (155cm) won't last long playing like this.
