Dima teaching him respect for his elders .Bernie is out. Couldn't follow the match because I was watching Dima and Alexis. Alexis did a roundhouse kick over the table 😅
apparently Bernie has only ever gone out in the first round (R64) during SmashBernie is out. Couldn't follow the match because I was watching Dima and Alexis. Alexis did a roundhouse kick over the table 😅
Yes, it is all about the tournament format - nothing to do with the opponent lol .apparently Bernie has only ever gone out in the first round (R64) during Smash
Smash doesn't suite her by the look of it
It's called a talent for ball feeling - she has had a relatively awkward, backhand oriented Oh Sang Eun style through out her play, even as a child. Her forehand and footwork has always been her relative weakness.Amy Wang's playstyle is so controlled, calm, and hardly has to cover ground. I don't understand the nuances of her game. Close match vs Nina.
yeah, 4 times now, in the first roundYes, it is all about the tournament format - nothing to do with the opponent lol .
He should make sure to find all the WTT officials, shake their hands and perhaps cough on them.Lin Yunju caught the influenza B virus and his whole body had no power.
He was in bed for 3 days straight.
Originally his flight was to depart Taiwan on 1 May, but due to his high fever, he was not allowed onto the airplane.
He managed to get onto a flight 2 days later - so he landed on the eve of his first match.
He was still pretty weak going into this match ....
Its very important to pitch for matches
I felt like Nina started to exploit her long backhand and forehand later on, but a close match in general.It's called a talent for ball feeling - she has had a relatively awkward, backhand oriented Oh Sang Eun style through out her play, even as a child.

All the opponents played well, all of them are players she has struggled with in other contexts.yeah, 4 times now, in the first round
Smash and Szocs doesn't go well together
Yes. Nina lost to Amy in 2021 in Houston, so Amy knows her style can work, Nina wants to back off the table and play topspins but she can't do that against Amy without risk so she has stick to a plan which might not be how she really wanted to play but that is competitive table tennis sometimes.I felt like Nina started to exploit her long backhand and forehand later on, but a close match in general.
