if you are winning 10-0....

[Maxi123]

In my country, if we are winning a set 10-0, we are used to -generally- miss the last point so to not beat the opponent 11-0, but 11-1... Is this common in the table tennis world? You people do that or you just win 11-0?
I've been wondering this for a long time, and now that i saw that matsudaira won a set 11-0 to Chuang Chih-Yuan before losing the match i needed to ask!

Good question.. its not a rule... but some people like to give the person the person a point for respect... however some people are ruthless and never give away a point... i remember Alan Cooke England former number 1 never gave any points away even at 10-0 up...

[Dan]

i been 9-0 up but i go easy then and wait for their mistakes

 

[TrueTears]

haha when I'm up 10-0 I often slack off and loss a few points

 

[Bollforte94]

Usually I gave away a point because of respect ..... but when the oppenent is very rude, I want to win 11-0 and enjoying the oppenents face after that
sorry for my english it's late

If I usually give the player a chance to win the point themselves. So I go slightly easier on the player for the last few points

hehe, you start lobbing and stuff, i know you to well greggs!

 

[lgreggs]

table tennis is too much fun not to get a couple extra points out of game haha

 

I really like to let someone 11-0 but the maximum that could is 11-1 at number 5 of chile (Peneca) and I really like to move a lot and have fun instead of leaving zero

I think it's rude to purposely miss the ball but let them try and win the point if a ball comes long just push it back or something but you still have to try just keep the ball on the table don't attack it i have been down 10-0 and the opponent purposely missed the ball it made me feel like im so bad that he doesn't even have to try.

If I was losing 10-0 to a really good player and they were lobbing against me I would definatly be glad of having a chance to win the point. In my opinion if the player is far better than you then having a rally where they are lobbing can only increase the fun of the game. Of course this is just my opinion you mat feel differntly.

Sin miedo, sin piedad.
No fear, no mercy.

 

personally i dont enjoy lobbing in games unless you are forced to, not just to be nice same as watching pros i hate watching lobbing

 

[lgreggs]

I enjoy lobbing

I beat a guy in a tourney 11-0 one time. Never again. Didnt like it. I will usually serve into the net if I get close.
