If you say so.

Me? How about Pep Guardiola, lol. He has been known for suspending players for putting on weight.

Professional athleticism is fundamentally evolutionary

Yes, in a sense that science and technology play an ever bigger role in achieving peek performance. And here you advocating for complacency.

You can beat this thing to death, but table tennis is not soccer. And even in soccer, Romario was a chain smoker, there are exceptions, the most important thing is whether your performance is up to par or not. The point is not to advocate for complacency, the point is to be the best version of yourself, not the best version of some abstract standard dictated by someone who knows nothing about what you do or how you train or someone who is willing to disregard your history dealing with fitness while still maintaining levels of success that most of the world can only dream of.

Let me put it this way - China has invested more time and analysis of what is best for Liang than you ever will.

5 Match points saved in a row by Timo.

LJK: 5:10, 12:14
LJK moment =/= LGY moment

Lets not forget, there is 2 more BO7 Matches after this...

Timo almost magic Boll

The difference in physique is becoming more apparent.

While he should retire soon, this is the last time I underestimate Timo Boll - I will just say I don't know next time I want to pick a winner.

Harimoto: The man who beat me at WTTC 2023 and Singapore Smash 2024.
FZD: The man who beat me at WTTC 2019.

GG to LJK.
Great match.
Impressive performance from both players and especially from Timo at age 43.

Great match

My predictions for the next matches.
4-2 for WCQ.

Tomorrow:
4-2/3 for LYJ.
4-1 for WCQ.

Final:
4-2 for WCQ.

Only close one will be LYJ vs LJK, imo.

I think the final will be between Lin and Wang. I'll be rooting for Lin, he's a great guy!

LJK was just trained by TB, and LYJ is not particularly good against LJK style. Hard to say who will win.

I think the next two matches have quick finish potential.

What a pity Timo didn’t win…

Well, the last time, LYJ had match point. I wonder what counters the CNT will have for him. But if he beats LJK, it will be the first.
