Pretty similar to my experience. I like this rubber. Will be interesting how long it lasts at this price.

Barry Hearn agrees.

These are a series of quite offensive comments by you. You can disagree but no need to keep chucking insults even when I offer an olive branch. Incidentally. Sora won today. I put my foot down and disagreed when a respected commenter said he was 'cooked'. Laugh away. That commenter strikes me as...

Mainly clothes and hairstyles.

It is possible. Chinese players (not all) also suffer the national pride issue. Horribly so.

Yep. I appreciate the check. As stated up there in my rethink when challenged, TT right now is probably more Sampras/Agassi era and that is the best tennis era of all time so it's no bad thing.

Let's look back in ten years. Were all those tournament wins due to devious quasi-cheating? Hell no. Seems to me all sports are the same. the fan base is gonna throw shade on the top guys and 'reasons' are always there to make it possible. They both played great. Sora won.

You can reply directly to me if you like. I'm a reasonable guy. I also notice you avoid my spot on perspectives. Eg. today's final. Anyway. I'm here to enjoy the wider sport. If I'm not worthy and souring the atmosphere, I'll bow out. No problems.

Yeah, that wipe up BH and the chop block would not be effective. Incidentally, I'm practicing that chop block a bit lately with the LP and it's hideous. Not a good trade off at pro level though. He's good with reverse imo.

Great point. I lack knowledge in the recent history FS. Appelgren did too. My absolute favorite player. he was not up with the top 4 though. Push comes to shove. I think Hugo is a flat track bully. Apologies for the edit.

No worries. I'm projecting probabilities. TT now is currently more like 2000s tennis with Agassi, Sampras and all the others in the mix so my analogy was off. The sport seems gloriously progressive and still the element of surprise exists. Decent point. Truls battled through injury. WCQ? He's...

It wasn't difficult.

Fandom and academics. Potent combination. Best not inhale if easily discombobulated.

Correct regarding WCQ. Special individual.

Hmmm. I'm not in agreement here. Depends on the gravity of the occasion. Also I don't see Hugo winning a big one and Harimoto is a bit lacking. Love 'em all but it's Sora, WCQ and Truls as the Federer/Novak/Nadal of TT. Felix will be the Andy Murray or Stan Wawrinka. Absolutely superb but only...
