Edit: Oh its in Central European Time (GMT +1)
Oh Even less chance to watch..

Just watched the games. ZJK-JSH. Yeah, so bad.. disappointed seems like he doesn't want to play the game. On the other hand, Joo was great. He really trained hard for the holidays i guess. Wonder what really happened with zhang.

I asked some of ZJK Chinese fans, can't believe it -- some are actually blaming it on Ding Ning. I mean, just jokingly. Haha! Ding Ning also lost in the QF's right?
love life or not, it shouldn't affect their perf....

Xu Xin and Ma Lin game was pretty nice. Glad Ma lin got back in a better form than last year. Xu Xin is amazing!

Chen Qi! i missed him playing singles! He's also in a good condition rn. Ma long, as usual, really tough man!

Ding Ning's loss was also caused by a chopper despite the difference in style (short pips and long pips).
Quite a theory by the Chinese fans but I guess thats not fully true hehe

I can't believe it.... Now we don't get the epic Ma Long - Zhang Jike final as well :S

well i think xu xin - ma long will be epic, too joo se hyuk will do it to the finals and i hope, that he will meet ma long there this would be an epic match, if they are up to 100%

Yep, I guess anything can happen in this weird tournament now

I think Zhang's right knee is giving him more problems. In his match against Bastian Steger he kind of slipped and injured it more. I wonder why he wears his knee brace on his left knee instead of his right.

Pirates of the Carribean music before each match tops all the matches to be honest haha

so epic match from xu and ma. really nice rallies, even if they arent at the top of their performances. winter training made them tired, i think

I heard malong said "wo cao(means:I ****)" at 3:23

Lol in tennis match he would get fined HEAPS I think 2 people in Aus open so far fined $2,500US for swearing as it brings the game into disrepute and effects the crowd too i.e children etc. Whereas Baggdhatis was only fined $800US for smashing 4 tennis racquets in succession! crazy. Anyway back to the tt topic....love that POC theme haha

 

[TableOhTennis]

I hope Ma Long - Joo Se Hyuk would be an epic match.
I actually wish Joo Se Hyuk can win the game.. Just to be different. hahaha

Joo Said after beating zhang jike that he's changed his rubber- any idea what to? tenergy 64 fx maybe or did he mean the pimples?

Apparently the commentator said he had changed his backhand rubber? I have made a thread here Super Chopper, we think alike

US$2,500 is a load of dosh by any standard. If you look at the prize money in relative with the fines, Baghdatis got off reeeaalllyyyy easy. In the Aussie Open, Baghdatis was knocked out in the 3rd round, means he bagged US$56,236, and if it's the 4th round it'll be US$112,473. Ridiculous sum. They're more than some TT champs get in a tourney.

Good thinking dan im sure we will find out soon enough, perhaps hes gone back to curl?

 

[azlan]

Hi Super Chopper, do you mind putting your thoughts on this one on the thread? Kinda curious the rubber he's using..

 

[YosuaYosan]

Maybe p1r or something with yellow sponge photographed in bright light, maybe Dawei 388D-1 I am curious..
Anyways I hope Joo will prevail in the final 40 minutes from now!
Go Joo! Will pray for ya
