Also, if this is the winners' treatment, I shudder to think about losing.

Who is that clueless fatso? /s

 

[zeio]

Ljk 2-3 jys.

Finally the first big upset in a tournament that has been very depressing for the rest of the world. Good job Youngsik.

Yes I just saw that. Jeoung continues to remind me that having a crappy forehand doesn't mean the world must come to an end in table tennis.

Not to forget LJK has a crappier FH.

That is debatable but I get your gist. At least he has the power to make up for it. Would love to see the match one day.

Sathiyan's win over Harimoto for people who want to see it.

If his 4h is so crappy, why don't they
play to it ?

So seems that bh is more important than fh in today's tt.

looks like ISHIKAWA was almost crying towards the end of the match

0-3 (7 8 4) , business as usual, another defeat to LIU Shiwen

This youtube comment says it all:

victory Andrew ​石川は中国の二軍レベル、勝てる要素はほぼない。

Hirano has gotten the hang of delay tactics. The area to work on next is transitioning.

 

[karupinkun]

compared to ishikawa hirano is at least competitive

Hirano has gotten the hang of delay tactics. The area to work on next is transitioning.

She has been beaten easily by the medium level chinese player (nowadays) in quite poor form. But talking Hirano you somehow always see the light in the end of tunnel. I am thinking next few years when Ishikawa retires who will you hate and will you still defend Hirano that she has something to work out?

Yeah. Zeio sees the potential of everyone except Ishikawa. The excuse is youth, but the truth is that no one is doing that well against the Chinese. The most competitive matches are against Ding Ning from other countries especially PRK. Hirano didn't really make a dent.

No. I think the 40mm ball made the backhand equally important but I think the plastic ball has shifted the balance of power back to the forehand. The Chiquita is easier to play now but it is not as devastating.

Looks like Jeoung won't get to reap what he sowed. Too bad as beating LJK would have been tough for Harimoto.

 

[NextLevel]

You know I meant the JYS win...

I think harimoto has quite a good record against LJK
