ITTF will change the ranking system completely ! the new system is something similar to Tennis.

The current system is based on results against opponents, gain points by winning, lose points when experiencing defeat; the new system is very different, the fundamental principle is the round reached in a tournament.

Nakorn Ratchasima in Thailand will host the 2019 edition of the International Table Tennis Federation World Junior Championships.

The 2018 edition had been awarded last week to Bendigo in Australia.

Nice matches at the Japan Open once again.

Unfortunately, Harimoto performs the art of "cho"-ing almost every point to the point it gets annoying. That doesn't really make him a fan favourite.

All male Chinese players pulled out from the singles competition at the China Open because their coach, Liu Guoliang, had to step down.

 

I'm going to stop watching table tennis until the Chinese play again. The men's singles title can't be taken seriously.

At least the women's matches were okay.

Hopefully, the Australian Open will be better than this farce.

The 14-years old  Harimoto is the yougest winner ever of the ITTF World Tour. After the victory he said: "Now at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games I want to win men's singles and men's team gold but I know I must practice hard and fight to gain the glory."
