Does CJS use short pips on the backhand side?

Yes he uses Moristo SP, same rubber as ito

Sorry - Truls complained about the knee but said it wasn't the knee that caused him losing. He said Uda played really well! In the first set he was faulted for tossing the ball at an angle larger than 30 degrees. The referee was positioned so she couldn't see the toss. Viewing it from the broadcast it was far from 30 degrees!

My guess is that he was either a little out of balance after his win or time shift problems. Anyhow, the competition at the top level is fierce and small things and different styles affect different opponents.

Thanks. Good to know the Chinese subs in the Bilibili videos are accurate.

That's one hell of a gaslight.

It's not fun when someone calls you out on your behavior, and it wasn't in the most subtle way either. But to imply that you are doing appropriate things is downright ridiculous.

I have him on my ignore list - too much stuff on this website to deal with people who don't get it unless there is an active moderator.

He has a challenge to deal with faults, that match was in the Infinity Arena.

According to the conversation between WH and QD at WTT CS Macao 2025, it may have to do with his "death grip" that's BH-oriented.

Xu Xin made related comments that are easier to understand now - his unfortunate comments about Felix's playing level obscured their objective evaluation.

The last time Hugo played Peng, he lost 4-1 if I recall correctly. More of the same or course correction?

whats downright ridiculous is whitewashing the inability to be civil as "oh it wasnt the most subtle thing".
"oh, it was just a little boo boo!" and further implying that said rudeness was somehow not just excusable, but justified.

now, thats one hell of a gaslight

also, its interesting how your entire comment consists of you own feelings "Bad comment! Downright Ridiculous! Muh Feelingsss!!" without saying why. You say XXX, okay, why do you hold that view? we can discuss. But instead you choose to say "Its XXX! Very XXX! Downright XXX!"

its just increasing intensity without any reasoning

if you had some kind of supporting logic, id be glad to discuss it. but unfortunately, its nothing but empty rhetoric, just like NextLevels comment.

im getting a little tired of the negativity, its annoying to see whats (supposedly) a dutch guy and an american tell me that i have some kind of bias against the chinese when im chinese myself, its pretty delulu lol. i have a bias against cheating and unsporting behaviour, be they chinese, caucasians, latinos, or Jesus Himself. i support players because of their conduct on and off the field, and not just because theyre we share a nationality or race. And sometimes, if the interests of those players are harmed by those who make a habit of skirting rules, i point it out because it pisses me off. if you dont agree, point out where and we can discuss it civilly, as is the point of a forum.

not by being a dickhead with nothing but emotional rhetoric and even less to back it up

not to mention all the conspiracy theories about how im actually PoppiChub or some other guy in disguise or something.

Itll be hilariously sad if it wasnt so schizophrenic

imagine being schizo enough to cook up conspiracy theories about how im a deepfake alt account of someone else and then acting like hes the victim.

rare to see such hilariously pathetlc behaviour lol

If you believe in following rules, I'd suggest you edit your last "sentence" here...

I reckon Hugo rises to the occasion.

As much as I enjoy watching Sora, I don't think he has anything for Aang based on recent matches. Hugo could definitely reverse the last result vs Xiang but something tells me Xiang has the right support to pull the upset. Hope ibam wrong on this one.

Not a fan of this "Dumb" language, but a player expanding the range of possibilities in her game especially at a very advanced level is always inspiring to see.

For future reference. DHK, whose older brother is going out with WYD and so is close to her on a personal level, actually said WYD is 傻/silly in an interview with Stiga V Table Tennis in 2022. When asked why, she said WYD is a loud speaker and comes across as unfiltered...

I am sure their terms of endearment are not meant to ne used by fans without similar endearment. But you do you, if you call your wife dumb, I guess I can follow suit.

This WD final is actually pretty interesting, unexpectedly

WMY
JCH
Hayata
KM

 

[zeio]

WD F
WMY/KM (1) 3-1 JCH/Hayata (-6, 8, 11, 10)
G3 69, 79 TO for JCH/Hayata, 99? 710, 910, 1010, 1011, 1311
KM was the one targeted as one would expect and clearly she was a bit fazed halfway in G3 but WMY hard-carried the pair.
G4 96, 98 TO for WMY/KM, 99, 109, 1010 fairly big net for Hayata, 1110 Dumb Hayata never dies, 1210. It didn't matter even if they could catch KM, WMY alone hard-countered the both of them.

Retire, Hayata! Absolutely useless even with a former CNT partner that is actually more capable than Ito.

It's about time to find out!
