Guess you haven't seen how quiet he is when he lose points or lose games or matches
Beat the guy fair and square….
…. And taking about respect, I guess you also have seen this noisy kid never scream during match point.
Straight after the win, he is a very respectable kid
Out side the playing area, he is a good kid too
I have seen the above. But one doesn’t get credit for NORMAL behavior. I’m not going to award kudos to someone for not being a jerk, because that’s how they
should act. For example, Not beating one’s child, does not make them a good parent. Besides, there are a ton of good players who are humble, respectful, and winners.
Arm chair critics is losers approach
Winners approach is to not give him chance to scream - don't allow him to win points (or maybe you teach children otherwise)
To be frank, this sounds like macho nonsense. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect people to act respectably or gentlemanly. A winners approach could also be to act like you’ve been there before, and treat the win like any other game. Only habitual losers need to over-celebrate. Winners find it to be normal operating procedure.
This noise pollution is all part of the game nowadays, started in Europe if I recall.
This doesn’t make it okay. Moreover, if we just accept it as the norm, it will become the norm. This is why those who disagree with this, should make it known they disapprove. This goes for all sports, not just TT.
But I guess armchair critics will only comment on what is on ittv
I will comment to my opponents to their face. The “Armchair critic” label is cute, with it's insulting intent, but the truth is none of us are likely to face Tomokazu to “not give him a chance to scream” so anyone who objects to his behavior is likely to be an "armchair critic." But if we did get a chance to get walloped by the kid, I think it’s reasonable to expect him to behave like a respectful person. Trust me, I will not hesitate to call someone out for over-cho’ing or being obnoxious to their face. I saw your original post where it stated something about how I teach my kids, I suppose that got edited. But yes the values I impart are to act like a pro, be a pro, win or lose...full stop.
I’m sure he’s a good kid in general, but we are speaking of his behavior during in-match situations. His behavior off the court is not what is being discussed here.
