Worth watching just for this gem:

 

[piligrim]

Noshad Alamiyan has an incredible touch and playstyle, just imagine if he had a decent forehand.
Probably the best serve, receive and block in the world.

He wouldn't have BH like this if he had decent FH

WH has had many of this kind of expressions after he coached WCQ on the field. That is like eating a piece of sh*t and can not speak it out.

Probably the best serve, receive and block in the world.

Apparently he has some injuries or physical problems so he has to rely on his BH.

A true inspiration, nothing is too hard, nothing can stop you.

They should interview him or put him on a podcast, I have never heard it from an official source unless you consider ERT speculation worth respecting. It's the obvious conclusion, but people should stop that nonsense.

It’s been confirmed that he has a rare neurological condition in his elbow. I’ve seen articles reference interviews where he and his coach has said it

 

[longle]

yeah he has some conditions, but in some matches I saw him switching hands more fluently than Timo boll

and this is his FH in Xu Xin style lol

“He is a very creative player,” said Lotfollahnasabi. “He creates some spin on his shots that lets him stay in the place where the ball is coming back, so he has fewer problems.”

holy shiet, that's some manga stuff

Tezuka Zone:
A (nearly) impossible technique. This technique forces any shots the opponent hits right back to Tezuka. The reason that an opponent's returns get "sucked" into Tezuka's hit zone is due to the spin he forces onto the ball. Tezuka halves the spin on the opponent's shots - that's the reason why they go towards the center of the court. When using this technique, Tezuka does not even need to move a step; all he needs to do is pivot one foot, without lifting it off the ground, around the area he is standing in and put a specific rotation on the ball with every hit. With every return, Tezuka can (presumably, due to deduction) add a new heavy spin to the ball. This technique is one of the very few techniques that the Muga no Kyōchi cannot copy, and also is one of the only techniques to defeat Fuji's triple counters.

Good start for Huang Youzheng after suffering a career-ending defeat to Ricardo Walther

Satsuki Odo and SXY tied at 2-2. Odo matching SXY's quality on every stroke in game 4.

That "so close yet so far" 5th game against China...a classic

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Can't fault Odo for lack of effort. She gave and tried everything, but just too much quality from SXY. NIce, respectful handshake at the end. It may take some time, but I think eventually SXY has to enter top 10. Just too good not to be there, but NER limits delays the inevitable.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

Good fight by the other Alamian but the end result was never in doubt

 

[joshmak10]

Looked like it would’ve been a wipeout by HYZ but Nima played well. Great game and puts HYZ at a very good shot at making the knockouts

MS Grp7 M2
Chen Yuanyu 1-3 Quek (-11, 7, -6, -6)

Thakkar 3-2 Quek (-6, 7, 8, -5, 4)

I mean obviously coaching kindof99 would be so blissful for WH, he'd have a sh*t-eating grin instead.
