At this time, Anna is a good distance ahead of Sally. Anna is way faster and quality of shots is better. If Sally spends most time in USA, her growth is limited. In my view, Ana's has a very high upper ceiling.

Good point. Fans tend to idealized pros like saint with ultimate sportsmanship. In reality, pros are just regular human beings making a living in table tennis. If you watch American NBF or NFL, you know winning is everything with every means necessary as long as not caught by refs. Table tennis...

Wide carder Anna Hursey met with the current best female player SYS. Anna is only 19 and from a little known Europe country in terms of table tennis. Anna managed to take a game from Sun, a remarkable feat from a teenager. She is a very rare European girl who plays like Asian with lightening...

In table tennis, no one says you can not love them both. If your heart has more capacity, you can still add more. :)

Not surprised here as Franziska is a well known Chinese giant killer, beating a fragile little giant like XP is within his reach. is Franziska the only German who has winning record against all recent Chinese top players(ML, FZD, XX, etc)?

A perfect 2 out of 2 for FZD, but unfortunately in losing. Duda is highly ranked world class player, Ruiz is not. Some folks like to use FZD to discount the current number 1 ranked LSD, as FZD handled LSD with ease in recent Chinese Super league twice. However, LSD is an absolute Duda...

Japan's Honoka Hashimoto is currently the best threat Japan has against China. She has decent chance beating all Chinese women except the top two. It'll be crazy if Japanese coaches don't put her in the team in these team events. For fans, we just enjoy watching her dance left and right, in and...

That many dazzling high lobs in the end, even in losing, worth of pure gold, if you are pure TT fans. All the greats, current or past, could anyone in their early young age, master these great lobs in a non-exhibit play? Truls happens to be a master lob smasher. If the opponents are not Truls...

I'll say WCQ is moderately stronger than LSD. FZD, if he plays now, is clearly stronger. He beat LSD twice in Chinese super league is the evidence. Tomo, Felix and Hugo would not be the underdog(maybe up hands) facing LSD. LSD has been hot for over half years, his mystic power as relatively...

Truls was in tears which underscores the point that taking trophy from Chinese even they are relatively quite weak at this time is so difficult. If it were the LSD who at the top, he probably acted as business as usual. Players outside of China need win many more trophies to make it a part of...

One of the main reasons LSD has risen so fast in the last 7, 8 months, is as a very young player, he has a very mature game, makes fewer unforced errors. The maturity coupled with his deadly backhand and decent forehand let him power through most his opponents as seasoned veterans just couldn't...

Epic match. Congrats, Truls. I said earlier, only Truls could decide if he would let LSD capture the crown. His answer, not this time.

Table tennis player is the largest China export in the sports industry. Trump might be considering hefty tariff on that since USA has seen a large pool of former Chinese table tennis pros on its soil.

With MD champion already in the pocket, LSD is also in the MD final and men's single semi. LSD is in very good form. If his partner can do his part, both of them can claim MD title with good chance. For singles, with Hugo and Tomo gone, LSD is favored unless homeboy Truls won't let him. So, at...

With such a powerful forehand and athleticism, Sabine is a threat to many top women except maybe one or two of the best. It's pity she didn't switch to anti sooner. Now age is the biggest issue for her.

The mixed double final is the most lopsided match of the day. Korean's Lim is just too error-prone. He still has long way to get back the shape before his injury.

Whether or not, LSD can be the last one standing on the men's side, he will very likely claim the champion in mixed double.

No shame losing to players of WMY caliber.

All Chinese semi on the women side, a quite familiar scene for quite many years. Chinese women is a formidable force in the world sports, not only limited in table tennis.

WMY is a good after match speaker.
