Apologies for the quick diversion, but figure this'll have plenty of eyes on it and I certainly don't want to start a whole thread to ask a simple question.

I've seen multiple members mention the "forum search" function, but I'll be damned if I can find it. Will someone please direct me to it, or post a screenshot of where it is?

TIA

"overlifting the ball due to overestimated backspin"...

That's not the only thing that's happening there. Duda's reaction to the chop-block is laggy, he's always a millisecond too late on the ball.

He can adjust, but the only person who can beat Truls today is Truls.

Thanks for the replies, Tony and Metaxa, but that explains why I haven't been able to find it - it's simply not there for me.

Top right is my avatar pic, and have to click on that to see the notification bell, messages envelope, etc. no magnifying glass to be found.

Truls is going to win this 4-0 and lose 4-1 to LSD tomorrow. Truls's style seems to bother the rest of the world but not China. Home court crowd could be factor but it feels like Lin is good at ignoring the noise.

I'm on my laptop and it's only there when I'm on the forum main page, not while I'm viewing a thread.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's there once you scroll up to the top. It disappears when you scroll down.

I'm picking Truls to beat LSD tomorrow. The arena is going to be shaking.

Ah, maybe it's just not available at all when on mobile?

Thanks regardless, backspacer

He will be dinner for Truls.

 

[zeio]

He's 20.

FZD was a monster at 16.

Harimoto won his fist professional match at age 12.

ZJK was being supportive, as expected. What did Xu Xin say? I remember him saying he wasn't impressed with Felix, lmao.

Please count the number of WTT events LSD won after Paris 2024. He didn't "hit a wall" until Asian Cup 2025 where he lost to LJK 3-4.

Below is a news article on ZJK's comments on LSD's first final on second try in World Cup 2025. He said LSD is more talented than him for becoming the finalist at only 20 when he had never participated in that level of competition.

Also, it's said ZJK said the following before: Coming from 1-3 to 2-3, my odds are already 50-50, the 6th game is your final game, if I make it to 3-3, then my odds of winning are already 80%. That's what happened to Gauzy.

请问张继科以前说过落后其实是赛点的原话是怎么说来着？

Huh? FZD was a monster but he didn't get to world number 1 until 21. Harimoto was fantastic at such a young age, and yet he has never reached the level of LSD right now.

 

[M51]

Time for Truls to finally go all the way somewhere other than the Swedish nationals.

Huh? FZD was a monster but he didn't get to world number 1 until 21.

This was at the height of the Ma Long / Zhang Jike era.

The fact that he actually did it is nothing short of astounding.

Indeed. Plus he beat LSD 3-0 and caused WCQ to suffer a short-lived "illness" on the day they were to play in domestic competition last month.

I remember Montpellier differently it seems.

This is easily Truls best chance to win a big final, at home and not facing FZD for once.

That's right, on mobile phones are completely unavailable then.
