I was sure that this will be tactic of Samsonov against Harimoto, as Vladi is master of inconvenient slow-paced balls that most young players are not able to play with enough pace. But this trick didn't work out for Vladi :( So I am pretty sure that this was not key to Timo's win. I think more...

i think Dan will manage to return 3 servers of 10. but I think if Dan will do some practice with Par to accommodate to his serves, result can be much much better :)

Also it's interesting that four players have chinese rubbers on both FH and BH: Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen. Can guess that rest have Tenergy on BH.

Men's Singles: Gold - Ma Long Silver - Dimitrij Ovtcharov Bronze - Zhang Jike Women's Singles: Gold - Ding Ning Silver - Li Xiaoxia Bronze - Feng Tianwei

My new blade for a fitness training. Actually feels pretty nice in hand, and I believe it's more than just playable. and has very similar weight to Der_Echte's monster bat :)

In table tennis bonus points are deducted for withdrawing from tournament and misconduct. And granted for advancements in big events. If Mizutani has lost 58 points it is more likely that bonus points simply expired, as they are valid only for 12 months. As for fairness - everything is pretty...

I think that WTTTC2016 medalists will be: Men's Event: Gold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - France Women's Event: Gold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - Singapore

Maybe Jun's performance has something to do with his club change: he already has signed with Fakel Gazproma, but must finish current season with UMMC.

Vladi had a coach by his side on major matches few years ago. as for now - he has no sponsor/club/national team to cover expenses for a coach. and he has enough experience to plan and adjust his game on his own, with a "self-coacing".

Samsonov won against Chuang 4:1 awesome game I was dreaming about Ma Long vs Samsonov final, and now my dream will come true :)

I think Maxim Shmyrev will win!

This is not "another guy", this is Petr Korbel himself! :) As for technique, he is showing "classic topspin" (he calls it that way himself in video), and most trainers I know are trying to teach mostly same ideas. And of course, I wish my forehand to be like his :)

I think Fan Zhendong will win the Swedish Open 2015!!!

Unfortunately, even with tacky rubbers ball will bounce multiple times on racket when catching ball with spin. It is clearly seen in Marcos Freitas video. Also you can find video of catching backspin ball with Xu Xin, and also multiple bounces are present. In real match, it is next to imposible...

what happened with Ma Long? He has withdrawn? Is he injuried?
