His a human and every human can fail.

Sorry to pick on you, but not relating to ZJK and his "temporary not at the best"

I thought "his a human" mistake is only in South Africa, now I'm seeing this overseas too.
I really see a lot of South African using HIS and not He's or He is

I thought maybe this is new English in SA lol

Come on. I didn't mean this at all: "If he was at his best he was the winner". He is a human and it is understand able for every human to fail.

I feel you buddy..lemme give you a brotherly hug :-* dont worry im sure zjk can bounce back in no time.

Are you serious???

Hey Alborz,

I can understand that you want to be ZJK fan. Of course it is easy to be fan for the player who has won almost everything. This is your decision. But being fan of somebody does not mean being blind.
You can admire ZJK for his serve receive, consistency in playing both BH and FH, great control close to the table and being creative. But there is one thing which is ZJK weak point, and most of people says that, even probably ZJK knows that. HE IS NOT THE MEN FROM STEEL, he is rather man from wool, he really easily loses his confidence.
Finally you have deleted your signature.

Lol Tony I dont think ZJK has not much time left in the CNT. He is their best player overall and the most commercialized one. Lets not forget who we are talking about, the fastest grand slam champion the only chinese who crushed the old generation (ma lin wang liqin and wang hao) so easily.

Zhang Jike didnt try as bad as ovtcharov but lets not forget that extra motivation dima had. And again ZJK played his best but didnt fight well in the last half of the 3rd set but that is totally ok he is human not a robot. He was losing 6-0 in the 1st set and managed to make it 7-7. ML XX or FZD just dont have that mental capacity to do that, only WH and ZJK have proven themselves.

What im trying to say here is that if zjk eventually won the match everybody here would say "wow, he is trully the man for difficult situations" "he played fantastic once again when he was with his back against the wall". The truth is that Dima played exceptionally well today because he believed he can win it.

Check the game Dima vs ma long and compare it to dima vs ZJK, dima against ML played too safe (I think he is afraid of him but I cant be 100% sure, my assumption relies on the fact that ML VS DIMA was 9-0 prior to this match) and ML was in no mood of making stupid/rushy mistakes or letting dima attack first like ZJK did.

If dima was not so afraid of ma long maybe he had better chances. In the first set especially dima made some stupid mistakes on 10-9 in favor of him and when h e was back 10-11. If he won the 1st set, we would have a totally different conversation right now. So guys please watch the big picture, there are two players playing this game...Don't wanna sound rude but Im sick and tired reading comments like "ZJK ML WH didnt play today, thats why they lost" oh really?aand what about the other player playing the game?He doesnt exist does he? :D

I have have written that signature by a tribute with that name on youtube. Of course he is not unbeatable or from steel. He will lose some times.

Also i have not deleted that. It will not be shown on every post. Just my first post of every page. So if you look at the first post of this page you can see my signature is still there.

Its not just Dima, ZJK has not been in form these few days - full stop.
Yes Dima did well, but how many matches ZJK almost loose? How many matches he won unconvincingly?

Just QF and SF alone is enough to say, ZJK you play 3 or bench. And play XX at 2 and maybe FZD at 3
ZJK has not been in top form for a while....

That is a possiblity.
Its not fair to be honest for the Chinese players. We only see the "result" of the training, but we never see how tough it is from 6 years old to 20 years old
and then 20 years old to 26 years old.
Chinese players can't last long is not just because younger player is catching up, but also go to do with mental fatigue by all these years are hard training.

If say, ZJK is like Waldner - no junior player to take over, there is chance that ZJK can play till 35 and still be top 3 in the world.
But because of his mental fatigue, injuries etc and then with pressure with XX, FZD, then the player can't last long

From coaching side, everything is Olympic cycle planning, and they work in WTTC and WTTTC inbetween.
ZJK is already at the "max" age for the Rio Olympic cycle

So that is why I said, its not fair at all for these players.
If ZJK is not Chinese, and have same hectic training - he would last longer for sure.
