I really don"t like this format.

regarding ittf points, it increases the gap between the top 30 players and the other ones...

And even this, this is not exactly true since players like Chen Xingtong, Zhang Rui, Qian Tianyi, Miu Hirano.....may not participate....and no qualifications.

Those tournaments should be exhibition tournaments with...money but no points.

The biggest problem I have is the timing. Slipping in 2 WTT CS back-to-back right before the WTTC, where seeding plays a big factor?

Anyone can smell from a mile away that they want to downplay and sabotage the WTTC and Olympics as much/soon as possible.

Table Tennis Report refrained from on-site coverage at the World Championships for the first time since its creation in 1957 (including the period after moving to the web publication in 2018). There were many reasons for the decision, but the absence on site left us great scars. In a similar manner there were many players who decided not to attend the event for several reasons. Among them, especially, the German Table Tennis Association made a radical decision to attend the event without the top three players, it made us want to ask the real truth behind such a decision.
I hope the World Team Championships held once every two years will remain the most prestigious event to decide the strongest team in the world. We watched some nail-biting fierce battles in Chengdu, some of which were fiercer than in the past. Therefore, we do not think the authority of the event was damaged even though some of the top players had cancelled their attendance. However, that does not sweep away the non-attendance of the players who should have been there. Such regulations should be reviewed if the lack of the points awarded to the singles ranking for the wins in the team event contributed to the decision of not attending the championships as Ms. Herweg mentioned.
Luckily, we can confirm the fact that Ms. Herweg, eventually the German Table Tennis Association, has the same thoughts.
The decision is up to the players eventually, but we sincerely hope the World Team Championships will remain the best stage for the players where they are honoured to perform.

WTT CS Macao 2022 took place right after WTTC 2022, and Hayata withdrew due to upper arm injury during WTTC 2022, and several players that were qualified by WR and NER chose not to participate, and China's COVID-19 policy made it nigh-impossible to fly there on short notice so it was understandable.

QTY injured or they once again decided to play the dictator's game ?

Completely agree. If you want to run big tournaments where you are picky about who can play, fine. But, these events should not go towards WR, especially since the new system makes WR more important than ever as WTT organises tournaments in a way that ignores national leagues and looks towards creating a tennis style system where the top players make good money from tour events whilst anyone outside the top 20 has to pay to play.

Imagine being ranked 7th in Germany and harbouring some ambition to playing in big events and getting a WR that reflects your ability. Not possible, instead you find yourself ineligible for big events and ranked behind players worse than you that are fortunate enough to represent smaller countries.

Yes but YXX and He Zhuojia plays with LP (with 1,5mm sponges) like they would have played with a short pimple rubber, both are no pushblokker and no defender.

Batra is unable to play like this.

Nice upset by LYJ!!!

I was lamenting the draw because I thought he would lose to ML. Thought LYJ did better in the open rallies than in previous encounters, he didn't allow ML to attack the serve as often, and he took a page from CDS (when he shocked FZD in Goa, i.e. go all-out on some counters).

Much better than at WTT SCT Goa but still NOT ENOUGH to take a game. CIC needs to get those winners at least TWICE in the endgame but could only manage ONCE.

Coupled with 3-2 Polcanova last round and then 1-3 Diaz at Singapore Smash, her outlook for WTTC 2023 is really not that good.

I imagine he had to give some explanations about this and they accepted it, even if he should have been punished. Lots of players threw their rackets and not a lot of them were severely punished.

They got either a red card or a disqualification but that's all.

Only Wang chuqin was suspended...by his own federation otherwise he could have played the day after.

No doubt about that. Same on the BH. She brushes way more and goes over the ball instead.

The level displayed in the first 3 games felt rather close to that of late 2019, specifically Swedish Open, World Team Cup, and T2 Diamond Singapore. Given that, I feel that running into SYS, who is currently the most consistent on the CNT (100% win rate against non-CNT players in the Paris 2024 period), is actually beneficial to her before WTTC 2023. It's better than running into CM/WMY/WYD/CXT and lose, who have lost to Szocs, Samara, Hirano, Batra...

I get that Frazer Riley (the English commentator) can be annoying - but does anyone watching this think that his call on Lin Shindong (vs Lebrun) was still insane?

again best shot making (not agreeing or disagreeing on his comment) is different than best player in the world

did not have a chance to watch this match yet. He was brilliant in the Lebrun match in that department but Lebrun was a relatively weaker opponent.

Good shoemaking can make someone look significantly weaker than they really are. But since you haven't watched this FZD match, no point in commenting until you have.

I managed to see the decider. Both LSD and FZD had amazing rallies. To the point above, if we assume LSD was not less capable here than when he played Lebrun, I didn't see FZD not be able to handle LSD's power, constantly. So I could say to your comment (which is true) that a weaker opponent could make one's shot making more amazing. My objection to Riley's comment was that it could be easily misinterpreted as that LSD is the GOAT.

Ah okay. Other than your suggesting this misinterpretation, do you know someone who actually made this misinterpretation?

BTW, you still haven't watched the match, so until you do watch it, your comments are still barely informed.

didn't discuss Riley's comment with anyone outside of this forum. But don't you think that a lot of casual watchers of TT could misinterpret his comments? BTW I did watch the decider - are the first 4 games very different?

No, I don't think casual watchers could misinterpret his comments - and it isn't common for casual watchers to watch ITTF/WTT streams if that is your concern.

As for the first four games, LSD had match points and was the player in control for most of the match. I will leave it at that since in the end, your opinion is always yours.
