Did you check the ML vs Pitch score ;-))
To be fair, Jang Woojin is blazingly fast and if you don't return his serves well, his forehand is devastating.
Another interesting one for sure!
Everything is as usual, but Ma Lin still needs to work with the women's team, I like the resultsWho is beating Sun Yingsha? Han Ying or Ma Lin?
Schlager had more style and a much better backhand.
Yeah - the funny thing is that some people think he has a good backhand because he sometimes hits powerful shots. But it is huge weakness at that level. And the output generally isn't worth the recovery loss.
Dima has a history of stuff like this though, despite his facial expressions sometimes, he is clearly one of the toughest players in big matches.
Imo I was disgusted when Dima won against Hugo in the Olympics in the precise same fashion. Completely down and out being blasted on both wings by Hugo, and somehow he manages to claw his way back into the match and win it, slowly by slowly. He almost did it against Ma Long of all people too in that tournament!
Yes, also he doesn't produce anywhere enough BH spin to compete at this level.
The tomahawk always comes down ( as in forward) - it is whether you come over or come under the ball and that can be very hard to see. The real problem is that the serve is really heavy and people still underestimate the sidespin even when they see it.
Hmm so it's she's basically changing the racket angle rather than the force direction? That would make sense. So from what I see she starts with a slightly closed racket angle and her followthrough is racket angle is always super open racket angle. When I do it this way I can only get heavy sideunderspin and never heavy sidetopspin which I think is the real killer. So that means for the sidetopspin variant she contacts at an earlier stage when the bat angle is closed and for the sideunderspin she contacts the ball later when the bat angle is open?
