Paris Olympic Games 2024

[fore.n.back]

Truls really means business today, no weird chop blocks and pace breaking pushes

Stray observation: Truls' Swedish jersey shows it's sponsored by Uniqlo? Lol

Xiao Zhan: WCQ, you better not ruin my reputation. Remember your magic serves.

WCQ is definitely handicapped with his new racket. So many mistakes on the first attacking ball. After two sets, he looks like a normal world-class player and not like the invincible machine he normally is.

 

[longle]

WCQ called timeout despite being lead 0-2 - he seems to be very disturbed mentality

Agreed. I wonder if he got up really early or stayed up late to get some practice with it in.

He has to exchange force for feeling and spin due to the new racket, understandable but since Truls is also well-verse in this aspect it will be tougher than usual. Looks like Wang has gained back control in game 3

It's probably more mental than anything. Does he have the mental fortitude to work through it? He has a rough draw for a top seed, so no room for errors. Let's see if he's got the mental makeup of a champion.

TTD can award a donkey to WCQ at 6-5 in G4

WCQ missing a high ball is an indicator of bad form/mental space.

Fortunately for him Truls missed a rather easy chance on the next point

 

[NetProphet]

Truls doing a lot better than I expected anyway!
Playing very well

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Definitely WCQ is playing under big pressure

 

[driversbeat]

Hirano first to finish in this session. Saved game point in the first game and came back from 5-8 down in the 4th.

He just made this stupid chop block to lose point while he was ahead 9-8.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

2 very hidden serves at 7-9 at 2-2 by Wang.

Truls wins the set regardless.

Wang definitely doesn't look like his usual self.

They are sponsor of the team. You can check on their site. Why not? It's good brand.

He just isn't great at it. I have seen miss him plenty of high balls.

 

[AutomaticBackhand]

He just made this stupid chop block to lose point while he was ahead 9-8.

It was a very hidden serve.

But also a "stupid" chop block considering that he could at least assume the sidespin that was on it.

He didn't counteract the sidespin and the ball went out of the table.

 

[d3nium]

WCQ hasn't been anywhere near his best all tournament, its not the bat.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Come on Truls !
