I think the lefty lefty matchup gave Yuan some options to force Cho to use backhand that previous opponents didn't easily have.
Gotta reply to this after losing 2-3 again in the XD final.
High risk high reward players usually have only one gear. He will learn from the experience.
It's a superpower that him and An Jaehyun possess, and I wonder whether it doesn't sometimes hold their game back having such speed and forehand power which makes it clear how they should play and how one should play against them. But it is definitely fun to watch.
The side angle is completely unwatchable for me. What sucks more is that it's good quality footage too. I appreciate the slant-angle but the way they've been doing it in past matches has way too much camera movement, like why start moving the camera in Whats basically a fixed direction when the players start a point? Makes it hard for me to track the ball. Old European Championship footage on YouTube from channels like GecaPhoenix and ttCountenance had the angle and movement down pat.
absolute mad lads, WTT should book them to appear at other events to counter-cheer the Chinese fangirls (I assume that's what they were doing this time)
I hope someone has recorded the full matches in a good angle. I saw some on 247tabletennis
I found myself pulling for LGY - he has so much talent and is just an amazing athlete but has struggled to perform at his best. He really exorcised some demons in that match and fought to get the win - I hope we see more of him winning again.
Your name inspired me to wonder if he'd play better if he'd trained as a righty! He's a natural righty but his dad had him learn TT as a lefty to differentiate him.
