ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

Be careful Alexis please. If he wins I can see Felix finally beating Wang Chuqin, today is the day they shoot down the giant.
Yeah but you said "today is the day."

Are you kidding me? Who was the commentator with the lady as Co then? Did you listen to that question about FH flick?
The question was ask at 5-5 or 6-5 in first set between Togami and Kuo.
The voice is clearly not Adam Bobrow who was commenting the match just before.
If you can't tell the difference between their voices I can't do anything for you...

No question WCQ is the most important factor contributing 2 our 3 points towards China's win. However, he is expected to do that as the best player currently in the world. The most critical victory should go to LJK, he won the game simply by the will power refusing to lose. It's not a sure thing that China would lose if LJK had lost his match, but most coaches would like to put the match in the hands of a veteran who's not in full strength, rather than an unproven youngster.
 
Nothing against China. It is natural to cheer for the underdogs and for the end of an empire.
Is it? Maybe the Chinese people won't cheer for that. And they (France are still incredible) are probably no definietly the best in Europe so congrats to them. Coton is great!

Yes, and that's a continuation of the conditional sentence, because there is a comma, not a period: it is conditional to Alexis winning, if he wins, today is the day. If he doesn't win, today is not the day.
I don't consider all that when replying to a comment. I don't surgically pick out all the clauses of the sentence thank you very much.

Well you didn't say "Today is not the day".

In defense of Alexis, LJK went into his "I won't miss, what about you?" mode. But you're right. Alexis needed the thing he most lacks which is patience.
I dont quite see it that way but yes, Alexis needs patience and Liang is a quality player who can reproduce his form at inopportune moments. The worst example was trying to finish the point at 2-0 12-11. Yes, Liang made an amazing shot, but again, the whole point showed the loss of plot. Make the big man run all over the place. It was after he had won that game that Liang got visibly sharper and even with that better shot selection still got Alexis deuce. But by the 5th game, his demons just over took him and he was a lost cause. Yes Liang was playing better but Alexis had started feeling the magnitude of the result and just folded under the size of the choke. So Liang no longer was the only one feeling any pressure.

Felix played well enough to beat Wang today. Imagine if he was the one with a 2-1 lead backing him up. His play would have been free. Now he had the pressure of beating a player he had never beaten to stay in the match.

To be honest, I think the mistake France made was playing Alexis over Gauzy. Sure, Molin would have been hanged dor it but Gauzy would not have lost the plot.
 
It is natural when you have no other ties to the two nations playing. May I ask how old are you?
Why should you care? How old are you? Does this question relate to the conversation?

Both the Lebrun brothers have emotional issues which is leading to their dwindling hopes of beating China.
Thankfully they hav Coton. So their entitled behavior may not last forever.

I am afraid you and I won't understand each other and that's ok.

Yes it relates deeply to the conversation, I am 36 years old, and the question was not in bad intent, only to understand if maybe I was talking to a kid. But I'll stop this here anyway.

Look I'm not here to make enemies. Who in the right mind wants that. Fair enough to you for supporting France. Agree to disagree. Sorry if any offense was taken. Nothing personal just very passionate abt TT
