To be fair, thus far this year, even though his play doesn't look like it was before, he still has beaten everyone except the Chinese players, and even won one of the tournaments. I actually think he will be better with this new style. Before he was pushing the speed so much that it was hard for him to react against someone who was good at blocking it back. He has trained so much to be so fast that normally it isn't a problem, but he has lost to some players that he really shouldn't have like when he lost the Chan Kazahiro, and Seiya Keisyakawa 4-0. When he isn't having a good day he can really be detrimented by his playstyle. If he took more time, and put more quality into his shots and slowed things down a little I think he can actually be a lot better.

I still believe he is getting used to his new sponge, the blue one. He used to use an orange one like in the picture above.

Did he have a wrist injury? I thought he had a knee injury. But what ever his injury or injuries were, he did sit out from something like July (after 2010 team World Championships) to January or February with the exception that he played in and won the Asia Games. Being off for half a year is hard to come back from and will probably take some time and some training.

Injury indeed

I was looking forward to watching him at the English Open at the late end of January - only to be disappointed that he couldn't make it :(

ah I thought it was a wrist injury because I saw him getting a wrist massage from someone, but you are probably right, he is rotating so much with his legs when he does a topspin FH, no wonder he gets injured.

Thats all right... But his recent win over Zhang jike in harmony open has once again proved that he is no less than others... nd he is gaining back his old form.. I hope that he will regain his world number 1 ranking very soon...
