Strange to see Alexis without a coach. I wonder why he couldn’t use Chila as the coach if Molin didn’t go. I believe Gauzy game is on later tonight so we will see if he has a coach or not.
Usually men's and women's teams have different coaches. Chila is on Gauzy's bench now, though. Maybe he was too busy preparing with him to coach Alexis?
Not at all, the match just flipped on narrow margins and I think 10-4 in the decider made Shin relax and then she won 5 points in a row and lost a good match point where Odo realized aggression was the only way. All the games were by minimum margin so these players are as closely matched as reasonably possible. And of course,, without the loss, we cannot mention "Only good for doubles" which are not in Champions events...
Hugo has shown this ability a lot and I think it is often a disservice to the opponent to make this largely about them. Hugo plays more aggressive when he is down a lot and it takes more to disrupt him. An has also never beaten Hugo so it becomes harder ro think about it when you are down by more. The problem for An is that usually in most matches he is confident he has the more powerful forehand with better footwork. This isn't how it works against Hugo so he doesn't know where to get his points from consistently.
Hopefully the strength and conditioning coaches can fix whatever the kid has because that looks like something that shouldn't have caused an injury. Would be a shame for us to lose a talent at this level if it is preventable with better physical training. But it is possible he has something congenital because he seems to be missing for longer periods than most.
He ran hard into the corner of the table, am I missing something?
If it was the collision that caused the injury then that was likely a fracture, how they let him come back after that is crazy to me. But I thought it was something in the fall after. Hence my mistaken comments.
Ah but ofc, I should be having the NL mentality, defend this young prodigy Baby WCQ because of his win against Harimoto and because he is the world youth champion and as such pardon all his losses to those he should be beating…
What makes you say he should be beating Quadri?
Never said he should be, that was just a sarcastic joke lol.
1) she is getting older, injuries don't recover as easily as when you a teenager. The threshold of table tennis in the 20s is also different when you in the 30s.
