ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

Amy had a massive growth spurt that affected her game. It's much as I sometimes criticize her game, TT is harder for tall players and her play reflects her obvious talent and work regardless of how it looks. Many people who try to play more athletically get injured. It comes with risk and sometimes nebulous reward.

I’ve always found it fascinating how Wang Liqin never got severe injuries as a player.

you are fully entitled to have your own sense of humor, or not have, as the case may be

i know what i can have, not because of your approval

Yeah, Xue Fei has decent rallying skills and a good RPB, but has trouble putting away the ball / finishing points, which is problematic for a penholder. His ball quality doesn't look particularly high.

According to Kishikawa and Shinozuka, they exploited XF's lack of shot quality, variation, as well as FH step-around.

(JuJu can forget it. Said to be the Dice Catcher, turns out he's only won 1 time more than Jailed Carton, and it was a non-significant tournament, having already lost once in every continental competition)

我见银河 亚洲杯也是这么说的，现在指望谁谁谁捕骰已经不好使了，只能寄希望于骰子自己什么时候不争气，靠人（靠别人捕骰）不如靠己（靠骰子自己拉胯）

(The same was said at Asian Cup. It's no good now to count on someone to catch Dice. We can only hope that Dice will not perform well. It's better to count on himself (for Dice to fail) than on others (to catch Dice)

潇洒疯一回 大赛上让林昀儒去拼林诗栋，只怕都比打王楚钦赢面大，上次那个亚锦赛团体实在给人看麻了，那种状态的王楚钦都拿不下，很难想象他以后大赛怎么样才能赢

(Letting LYJ tackle LSD in the majors, I am afraid he has a better chance of winning than playing WCQ. The last ATTC team was really deflating. Couldn't even beat the WCQ in that state. It's hard to imagine how he can win in the majors in the future)

莫雷加德（转正中） 从目前的状态看，7-3吧，张本这次世乒赛感觉速度变快了，相比之前世界杯。而且户上第一轮看，状态也没有很好，失误不少。

(Judging from the current state, 70-30, Harimoto feels faster in this WTTC, compared with the previous World Cup. And Togami's first round, his state was not very good, and he made many mistakes.)

(You have to look at his opponent. The level gap is too big. Just like A. Lebrun also shut out his opponent in the first round, but his form was actually not very good.)

I’ve always found it fascinating how Wang Liqin never got severe injuries as a player.

He was a supreme athlete and took care of himself incredibly well, it truly is amazing. One thing about China is that they put their players through stuff, making it out on the other side makes you special.

Tieba users have lost trust in LYJ completely.

Do you mean "some randos on the internet"?

"A lot of tieba users are saying it..."

 

[NextLevel]

This WTTC will be dedicated to the "wisdom" of Tieba posters.

BTW did Lee Sang Su qualify for this event?

 

[ThePongCommenter]

So this edition has 2 venues, they are 10km apart and the feeling in both venue is "extremely" different.
not to mention the table 1 area is way warmer than the training hall.

lots of adapting going on.
and a scheduling nightmare to be keep going between the 2 venues (and warm up correctly).
So I won't be surprised if players under perform.

They should of just kept it under 1 roof and remove this kind of stress from the players.

It will be the same way at US Smash Las Vegas.

WTT frequently screws up logistics such as shuttles so not surprised to see that already happened here.

i know what i can have, not because of your approval

you were the one giving and withholding approval on takkyu's post. i merely made an observation.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

You weren't merely making an observation - you were saying that mamedium has "no sense of humor" for taking exception to what was clearly a crude sexual joke, and far from the first one.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

How tall is Amy now?

She's around 5'7 to 5'8

I'm not questioning her talent or work ethic. If anything, it's very impressive that she can play well while keeping the same posture and just floating laterally without bending her legs. But would it be too difficult to situationally learn to load the legs on slow incoming pushes and shots to generate some heavy spin? There's some lanky guys out there like Pitchford who can drop their base fairly low and can generate good power from their base. Maybe it's just something specific to her body mechanics that makes it not worthwhile doing?

Her build is a lot of leg, so bending low is relatively harder than someone of the same height with different proportions. Playing over the table and fast off the bounce lends itself well to a higher position. Opening off of heavy topspin on the forehand isn't a huge part of her game, she is generally content with FH pushing back deep and letting the opponent open since quick well placed blocks and counters are her weapon. I don't think your assessment that she loops backspin with the BH weakly is accurate.

actually that's bullshit, what you just posted inside quotation marks, but thanks for getting involved. here is exactly what I wrote to mamedium.

"you are fully entitled to have your own sense of humor, or not have, as the case may be"

My point, which you might have missed, is that takkyu is also entitled to his sense of humor, and I am to mine, and mamedium to his, and so on for fucking ever. mamedium announcing his reaction in an attempt to police the forum so that no one says anything that doesn't suit his tastes is, to me, distasteful.

but, seriously, whatever, have a nice day.

Dude should just stay at tieba

Its like chinese person immigrates to Rome and then says back home in china we do this or that for the next few years
