Not really. Since middle of 2023 WCQ has been adapted well with the active fast defense block of FZD. That's why their matches are always tight since then and much more nail-bitting than yesterday match. Also because they know each other well, so WCQ can play rallies with FZD in 50-50 situation...

Seems like FZD used FZD super ALC for the match against WCQ? His counters are faster than before, I believe.

Actually no, I just said during WTTC 2025 that Felix Lebrun has been studied by Korean team after he made a three to four weeks practicing in Korea. Best way to know Felix? Ask a Korean player lol.

Before the match Anders Lind practiced with Lee Sang-su. I believe Anders read (my) comments on TTD, but I have no evidence ...

Mr. I-want-to-challenge-Fan-Zhendong now has a new player to challenge LOL.

Up and down for Truls is really normal from years to years. This also happened several times this 2025. He played "like Truls" (base on what you define what is "like Truls") this round and became "not like Truls" in the next round. Just check at US, China smashs, Incheon, Chongqing, Yokohama...

Truls also needs more points to be sure that he took Harimoto's 4th place after Fukuoka's points expired. No one wants to meet Wang Chuqin or Lin Shidong, in China, at Quaterfinals. With 4th in ranking he will also avoid LSD or WCQ or Hugo until semis. So basically Truls would some benifits if...

It's funny when people is still saying the results between Anton and Truls are fixed from last year until this year. Last year Anton was on fire with 3-0 win against Wang Chuqin, so definitely it was not "fixed" at all. This year when Anton is on fire again, people rise up and say "fixed", which...

Wow CNT decided to stay and watch the quarter final match between Truls and Dang?

Alexis is the most risk-taking guy. He will always take risk with powerfull shots. This mentality works well sometimes and he could even (nearly) defeat Fan Zhendong. Harimoto was actually doing good, targeted Alexis' weak short game and unstable first-three balls. But sometimes tactically...

1 year ago, Harimoto choked a bronze in France, against a Lebrun. And now, he chokes against another Lebrun, again in France. I am sure he will be scared by anyone who mentions "Lebrun" "France" "10-7" "10-6" lol.

Anders Lind shows us why we need to practice more than 2 or 3 hours a day, 6 times a week to maintain our form for every tournaments and team events lol.

He actually uses Zyre-3 to make his loops spinier. The problem is that his shots are not strong enough to threat Dang Chill, only fast stroke is not enough, you need more power to make opponent feels hard because of dealing with speed and power at the same time.

Dang ... Chill!

Such a pity. If the championship were organized in France, there will not be such many empty seats.

Lol I was in city-province's junior team (from Asia) very long time ago so I understand the up and down of young players. I personally will never be sure about anything from a under-20-Asian prodigy. Today they can play like a god and few days (or even few hours) later their mood goes down and...

Attending Chinese Super League is greatly beneficial to Sora, he has some confidence when playing Chinese players. But I don't see how he will be consistent against other players, especially for those from Europe. Talking about the power of Japanese is just too soon, I believe we can only see it...

Japan has slim chance to win against this France unfortunately. They have good knowledge against China, but not France.

It was just like Harimoto got 3-0 lead against WCQ in Yokohama. As I have said, if WCQ played like the semi-finals, then the chances would have been there. However in the final he stayed closer to the table, hit the balls much more aggressive in order to keep each point very short, plus Felix...

Maybe there's a problem of approaching tactics. It's quite weird that Felix chose to play speed games and did not try to slow the game down or use heavy spin games like last time in The US. Maybe different coaches have different ways to set up tactics for him, and I feel that his coach in the US...
