    Power vs speed, it's a nice match! I hope that Ranefur wins just to see this going the full distance

    His viking beard adding a +15% intimidation factor :ROFLMAO:. He hits the ball hard.

    Uffffffff Kuo really killed it there!

    Good move putting Lin as number 2, all the pressure on Sweden now, and the young guns from Taiwan are dangerous. Careful though as Lin - Kallberg is also an open game, Kallberg doesn't suffer him greatly like Truls does.

    If this match goes like in the groups with Germany coming from behind to win it, it would be hilarious. I would have not put Togami in honestly, he is quite... flaky. I would have taken my chances with Shinozuka.

    A part from China... until a few days ago :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    That super flat super counter on 2-1 9-7 was incredible! A bit in the style of @Gozo Zyreruna I dare say :D

    Thank you for pointing out the mistake, I have corrected it "when your kid tries to hide" is the correct form. Anyway I see that we won't reach an agreement, so indeed, as you and I both suggested, the rule should be changed so that this confusion doesn't happen.

    Yes, I would not put him in anymore, but who knows. Wang Hao's job is the second toughest now in the Chinese team, right after Wang Chuqin's.

    I absolutely agree and advocated indeed from the start that the rule should be changed.

    Hiding without any qualification (partially is a qualification) means, in our common language, that you cannot see any part of it. Seeing without any qualification (entirely is a qualification) means, in our common language, that you can see any part of it. But if you want to think, when your...

    No, turning it around is not formally correct, I will try to explain in this way then: If you can see even 1% of the ball, you see the ball. If you hide 99% of the ball, you can still see the ball. Hiding needs 0% of the ball to be there to be true. To see the ball, 1% is enough. To hide the...

    That one game - slip from Wang Chuqin may become a one match - slip against stronger teams. And then China's ship would finally sink I think. And then I would finally see male China's team lose a world championship, long time waiting. Expectation feels melancholic and exciting at the same time.

    Not until he wins the olympics and the individual world championship at least one more time.

    He wants him to win in straight games to have at least one invincible man to put in the court. Very tough job for Wang Chuqin in these WC, all the pressure of the not-so-mighty pingpong China is on his shoulders.

    In legal terms, there are no qualifications for how much of the ball should be seen, so the right question is "Can you see the ball?" the answer is yes, because a part of the ball is the ball. The question is not "Can you see the entirety of the ball?", in which case it should be stated fully...
  17. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Ball Seems to me that is legal. Ball is visible at all times, and remember that Ionescu's point of view is more to the leftt, so even more visible. If he was a lefty, then ball would not be visible. It's time to change the rule anyway and try to make it easier to check.

    Do you ever have any other topics in your mind or do you even dream about this in your sleep :ROFLMAO:. Wang Hao seems like is past anger into resigned acceptance, nice to see all the emotions on his face.

    I kinda hope Lin Shidong loses this one just to see LJK try to play in the 5th match. But I think he will make it through.

    What they have trouble with is weak-ass players, it's there to see. Wang Chuqin remains the dominant force he is, the other ones are diving off a very steep cliff.
