Really cool video! Also, Verdonschot was such a nice guy when I met him in Brazil last month, wish him all the best!

I wanted to see the replay of this one. Watching live, I honestly thought it didn't touch, but then again, I'm Brazilian and I wanted Hugo to win. Surprised to read there were no replays shown, it was absolutely a major decision.

Yeah, he played very well today, but as you've mentioned, he faces some tough opponents. The place was packed today to see his match, and since I only got to the venue after work, I couldn't get close to table 1, just got some highlights after coming home... I'm not complaining because I got to...

I've managed to get an ARY-X at the WTT venue! Thanks @Matt Hetherington for the expected release date. I didn't have time to assemble it yet, but I'm excited about it! Maybe after the tournament ends I'll get to it.

I'm not sure you guys have been following the qualifiers, but the quality of some matches have really impressed me. Sure, it's just the qualifiers, but still some good matches on the evening sessions yesterday and today. Sarmento, the local hero, made it to the main draw after fighting back from...

July 22nd would coincide with Brazil's Star Contender. Good timing, especially if Hugo manages to do well in it. I don't know if there'll be shops at the venue, but it'd be quite nice to get one there.

It certainly makes it more interesting on the other group, if teams were looking to avoid China until the finals.

@Matt Hetherington Should we expect the Calderano Ary-x to be released soon-ish? Is that something you can share? I've got some money to spend on table tennis and I want to try the Trinity Charged and Dynamic. I think they'd go well with a new blade, and since I'm from Brazil, I'm going all...

I understand your point, I just thought it was a confusing and overly defensive way to present it by comparing it to moral and law standards.

What a weird comparison! I do provide my tax declarations in an honest and correct way, respect the speed limits and I am always honest with my partner. I also don't really care about boosting because I don't really take part in competitions, and of the people who play with me, no one really...
