LONG PIPS PLAYERS IN THIS WEEK'S JAPAN OPEN
Fabian Akerstrom is in the qualifying groups. Kang Dongsoo is the most interesting of the seeded men's players.
The women's qualifying has Neha Aggarwal. None of the seeded women are too interesting. 
Looking at the table assignments for the qualifying, it looks like no streaming for Akerstrom's matches. Aggarwal will get one match on provided they're streaming two tables.
WOMEN ON CHALLENGER SERIES NEXT WEEK
Kathrin Muehlbach
Tanja Kraemer
Andrea Bakula
Dana Cechova
Alex Galic
Olga Nemes
Jennifer Jonsson
Jessica Goebel

Not sure who the last pic is. I just thought it was a good photo.
This is a typical ITTF tournament. 100% Chinese players in both the mens and womens semi-finals, few spectators in the seats and zero interest from the media.
How does the ITTF plan to fix this?
Ban Joola Timeless, ban celluloid balls, increase the ball size twice and make the sport unaffordable for amateur recreational players, of course.Statistics: Posted by mynamenotbob — 16 Jun 2013, 07:34
