Don't enjoy piling on when athletes are in a slump, but this time I feel less guilty about it.

Karma for illegal serves. If you're gonna cheat at the highest levels, then there must be some mental load about when to do it, and worrying about getting caught or called out, etc. Maybe when you get to WCQ levels of pressure to perform and with some losses on your mind, having all of this rolling around in your brain is too much. Even if unrelated, the downfall of a high-profile rule-breaker might discourage others from this sort of behavior.

Also, the fact that a World #1 can just forget how to play and lose to a middle schooler makes me feel less bad about the many many times it happens to me.

Even though WCQ's loss might be a combination of fatigue, loss of form and poor mental state, imagine what Benyamin must be feeling. Truly one of the highest points of his career.

#MeToo. Albeit I don't lose to school goer, I lose to boomers and their $&@#*&!!! MF'er no strength, no spin super duper weak pushes that has an uncanny ability to hit the net, the edge and half longs sH1ttie balls.

Is WCQ hurt?

no

Of all the bad losses a young Chinese player has had, this is the most shocking I can ever remember. Faraji is not exactly a top junior even by non-Asian standards. A complete implosion by WCQ. He forgot how to play. There's really no way to say that Faraji did anything that should have given him trouble.

same as that 0-19 streak
he forgot how to play

There is a reason for it - he pretty much relies on his serve for easy wins and didnt really develop a lot of his other skills unlike say Ma Long or Zhang Jike or Fan Zhendong who had to fight and learn a lot for their results every step of the way.

He is like the guy who took shortcuts and is found wanting on his other skills

 

[Yuomay]

I don’t see how you can ever get to number 1 with easy wins… even with illegal serves they’re just half the points and he is far from the only one who’s serves are off.

Wang is clearly going through some emotional trauma and is not supported the right way.

It is on the other hand a bit comforting even a player of that status can be out of form and fluctuate his level. To me, it makes him more humane and I hope he gets over it. After all we deserve the battle between LSD and WCQ.


Also @Gozo, me too man, me too

I laughed at this. Then realize - this happens to me as well...all those plus the uncanny, erratic shots/returns. lol

Imagine the amount of ranking points Benyamin gets from this

Does he get any? This WTT points system is just not very good at actually telling you players' levels. A player could be in a real rut but until their points expire nothing will be reflected in their ratings.

 

[Leno]

What triggers me the most are actually the WCQ followers that make up excuses for him. On social media they are going on and on about how he is not used to the seamless ball or how the table is not high enough. Support him the right way, but don't start making up stuff for him.

I mean all players start to struggle with material changes at a certain level. You would expect professionals be the ones to adapt the quickest.

Okay, rant over. Benyamin at least earned bragging rights for at least a decade

Ah idk I assumed it was a normal elo system.

I believe that in general, for these teams matches if they get any WTT rankings points then all teammates who play get the same amount, which is probably still a lot for Faraj.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

zero points

 

[Lazer]

Like I said 50% is in your head. If it’s not there you will loose…

I loose all the time due to this… 😕

Give him a break he is human after all…
He’ll be back.
