Even if they were affected by the new ball they shouldn't complain. Chinese players probably put more hours in than other players and players like Timo Boll, Samsonov and Gauzy have as much touch as cnt players
Now that the great shot Timo made against LGY is available to watch I have a question - Timo didn't get the point because of an umpire mistake thinking that the ball hit the table twice or was it because of something else?

It actually bounced of that side part which belongs to the table.
Speaking of balls. There is actually an advantage for the germans here because every club plays with different balls.
I did not hear Mizutani or Le Sangsu complaining about the ball, so according to you all world had the balls before and hide it for the China? The other thing is if you think if they usualy do not complain so now when they do it must be very true and it was unfair, come on they lost.you really underestimate the mindset that top sportsmen have, especially the very best of them. A player with true winning mentality, which I'm sure ML or XX are, would never blame their defeat on outside factors wrongly for it would discredit both themselves and their opponents. Top table tennis players - Chinese or European - are notorious for their sportsmanship.
if you prefer putting words in my mouth and fighting strawmen, I have no interest in this discussion.according to you all world had the balls before and hide it for the China?
It is all with LGL missing, just look at FZD who
desperately look at Wang Hao with the score 10:7 at 3rd game. They are really missing their "father"
Go Dima . Hoping for 4-0 against FZD to wipe out CNT. German Open is yours!!
