China Open 2018

Well, well. ZJK didn't reign in the short game, did apply pressure on the deep BH but somehow did not pressure TH's FH much. His connection between BH and FH seemed less fluid at times, and I too would think his service strategy did'nt seem helpful.

I like his attitude, though, in treating this loss as a valuable learning experience. Good for him; hope it helps.

What's interesting is that people start directing to opponent's FH to get points because they are both strong at BH.

The original idea is to direct attack to BH until BH has become the new FH.

Passionate about TT

I am both very happy and a little sad for you that you did, ZJK's interview was a pleasure to watch and extremely thoughtful. 100 thanks for the translations. Set up a patreon page some time.

Chen Xingtong has no idea how to play Han Ying. 0-3 down heading to 0-4. Hina Hayata vs Mima Ito is tied 2-2 . Intense match!!

I am just thinking who is more irritating harimoro or LGY screaming each point "chuole chu".

Coming back from 3-8 down to take game 2 - Rosskopf and Timo still haven't solved that problem. Now LJK is looking like FZD!

 

[James Krassowski]

Gutted for Pitchford. Comes back to 3-3 from 3-1 down and 10-6 to Niwa in the sixth. Once again goes 10-6 down in the seventh and narowly misses out on evening it at 10-10

The 3rd Set pf LJK-Boll has to be one of the best displays of 2 winged super looping that I have seen in my life.

Timo is pulling up his black magic again, 10-10 from down 3-10 in 3rd! But that was it, lost 10-12 and being down 1-2 overall.
