Sometimes I wonder - why doesn't Truls use short pips on BH? Seems like they would fit his backhand very well. Obviously he's one of the best pros in the world and knows what's best for him. I'm just curious about the logic here.

Wait, Noshad was using his FH way more than before (e.g. his match against WCQ from last year) and in a more active way. Is this the effect of rehab/surgery? Or did he find a way around his condition? @zeio - my loved one is currently sleeping next to me, so I can't fulfill the terms right now...

Could you kindly share some knowledge about the "Great Wall of Opponents"? Hard to find any info in the English internet. Can't wait to watch the Tomo vs Noshad game. If Noshad's serves were on point with no TTR available, I imagine they must have been a great problem for Tomo. Even WCQ had...

Feels good to be wrong twice. Even though it would've been a lovely story of a legend in the making if WRB had taken the trophy, I'm really happy for Felix. I did not give him enough credit. His game was on point and some of his plays were outright jawdropping (e.g. the chop block of that down...

Pretty sure it's the latter. Damn, Hari had the decider on a silver platter at 13-12. Very unfortunate miss.

I'm not a cookie cutter Tieban, I like watching Hari play and I have a lot of respect for him, I just feel like the vibes are on CNT side this tournament and feel like making some bold calls ;)

Another call: Felix will get destroyed by WRB in the final

I share the same sentiment.

WHAT THE FUCK? Congrats to Sora though! His serve game seems almost as good as WCQ's now, and the mentality stayed on point. Well deserved.

4-3 for WCQ, calling it now

Watched the Luka vs Filip semi. Luka started using the anti on FH a bit more - taking notes from Winter? Also, while Sabine has a very clear-cut system with the anti - slowing down the game, taking back initiative to later overpower the opponent with her monster FH - Luka's anti game seems...

Annett's words in the WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 interview did not age well. In a post-match interview she said that she likes to play against 'material' (pips) players and sees matchups with them as favourable for her. At that time she was referring to the upcoming game against Han Ying, who...

So even with WCQ injured and LSD out of the picture, we get an all-Chinese MS Final. ZQH and the young blood stepping up for the challenge.

Odo was visibly nervous, ZYL stayed cool and it won her the decider.

The new Team Japan outfits look very comfy 😊
