WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2025 June 17-22

MJB does the same reverse pendulum serve every time, and every time I can't tell if its underspin or topspin. How do you even read this??

Watch the tip on contact. If it points more down then it's top. More horizontal is under.

If only it were that simple lol

Easy to say, hard to do.

Not all umpires understand the native languages that are used in these exchanges. The ones that do usually intervene.

while some umpires having the same issue, would usually request the player to play on and stop wasting time and put pressure on the culprit for "talking" too much to the opponent.
talking to the opponent during play, is mostly unsportsmanlike, which is also a warning-able offensive

of course if the umpire doesn't do anything, it would get more serious, and levenko could or should also file a complaint and request for someone who understands the opponents language/s to assist the umpire.

end of the day, pro sports is also meant for TV (for the sake of sponsorship fulfillment), unsportsmanlike behavior/s, is terrible for TV and with that, the sponsors etc.

You could also file complaints after the match, but yeah, I don't think players usually do that, and it isn't like anything would become better from it - we still waiting some answer from Doha umpire incidents which is probably swept under the carpets now for the general public

Extremely tricky according to my coach who's played him.

QTY/SXY 1-3 Harimoto/Odo (-3, -8, 7, -2)
These 2 would've been kicked out back in Cai Zhenhua's days... What a great time it is now to carry the CNT name.

Yes it is. Shine can attest to this in spades. He proves this against the most invincible invisible machinations of unseen enemies

It is not the job of the magician to tell you how he does it or make it slow enough for you to see the sleight of hand. But Anders Lind did it somehow lol.

Yes, it's amazing. Of all the things the pros do, routinely deciphering tricky serves is the most impressive to me.

Yawn....
There's only one guy here who's paranoid enough to think that they designate a player to face Harimoto in tournaments, or who's always looking for a lead in their decision making. And that's you. Sounds like you need help.

It's weird because I've never argued about any machinations of any enemies. If you can find some of them, bring them up.
My bone of contention has always been that the team is not judged fairly in many instances, And I've always argued that the team has improved over the years in terms of being less demanding/repressive on players.

I think you're just projecting here.

Whew! Miwa just scrapes by her T-League teammate Joo Cheonhui

Tbh I doubt MJB even knows what he's putting on his serves 😆

He's a dangerous player for sure.

 

[baotran]

What a performance by Felix Lebrun! He is maximizing his spin variations on both wings!

 

[Shine]

Togami and Harimoto again. These conniving draw manipulators are at work again.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

What a great debut for Satsuki Odo/Miwa Harimoto taking the WD title !
