Thanks for the cut. Wow. Tomo was obviously very pissed. He felt Wang Hao dismissed his performance as if 'it's not you did well but my player did poorly'. Compared to other countries, Chinese coaches didn't fare well in terms of manners, respecting to others. I especially dislike the way they...

Totally agree.

After been as number 1 for a few months, everyone is paying close attention to him and finally LSD's vulnerability has been exposed. He will suffer defeat like today more often until Chinese coaches figure out a way help him. Good news from China that FZD is back in the hunt for LA Olympic and...

Started off with 6:0 lead, still ended losing, LSD showed vulnerability as a young player.

After beating the number 1 SYS, now the number 2 WMY is the new victim. CY shows she is real and ready to challenge the top. Chinese women team is in good shape now two promising and proving young blood in QM and CY are ready to join the first tier. Have to say, it's a rare feat to see a very...

Chen Yi kept talking to herself during breaks, a sign of a good player who uses her brain.

Japan's Odo will meet American Lily next round. Odo is obviously a better player. Somehow, playing style wise, Lily has a decent chance against Odo. For Lily her best chance is playing typical women's game, i,e exchange with fast pace mainly from backhand. Odo is a powerful player but fast pace...

What a match! Totally entertaining. Talking about athleticism, did you notice a matrix move from Jang? In the last game, at 4:3 with Felix leading, fearless Felix served a long bullet to the thick teeth of Jang, Jang reacted with a immediate step around fast forehand loop which itself was...

Nice touch for a super short push towards forehand corner from Felix that absolutely pinned Jang at last play of the third game. Even still very young, Felix has already proven he has a balanced skill set, a 3D player, covers short, mid, long and left to right.

Interesting Felix was winning most forehand to forehand loop rallies against forehand monster Jang. Jand had 4 lucky nets in the second game but still was lost in close margin.

Have to say Hashimoto's movement is smooth, elegant and beautiful. Fits the often overused words: 'poetry in motion'

As I'm getting older, nowadays, I only do two sports/exercises, lifting weight and playing table tennis. I believe these two are perfectly complementing each other. One focuses strength ad muscle and the other agility, cardio, reflex and brain work. I'm fortunate enough that I've been injury...

The most unfortunate player in this tournament has to be Lin Yun-Ju who met the one player he really liked to avoid as much as he can: LSD. It's also unfortunate for the fans that two of the exciting and brilliant players met so early and one of them would end his journey after first round...

"Waldner or Ma Long"? "Ma Long"! relied with barely little hesitation. GOAT debate should have long been settled now even Waldner's follower and compatriot has picked his GOAT.

Most spins on the video were side/under. With the follow-up motion after the rubber contacted the ball, it's difficult to tell the real spin in a split second. The post-contact deceptive motion makes side/under look like side/upper. It is the highly skilled act developed by players with great...

With wide spread video surveillance, no cash transaction and and its traditional culture reemphasizing, China has evolved into probably the world's safest place for any big events. As a US citizen, I would reluctantly agree that USA is one of the worst place for such an event, especially for...

Schlager did it in a Chinese dominated era like a lone wolf, a much more heroic and impressive feat. On his way to the final, he beat KLH and reigning champion WLQ, two of top Chinese players of the time. Circumstances matter how and when you perform.

FZD all the way, Tomo is a FZD fan boy. A few years down the road, WCQ may be Tomo's pick. Prime time WCQ can really crash Tomo with no resistance like the USA Smash final.

He also conveniently missed the fact ZJK finished grand slams in record time(about one year and half) while emphasizing Waldner did it in 3 years. So mush fact based with no bios. LOL.

We are talking about the greatness (goat type), especially the impact to the game not the skill level. Waldner deserves to be the number 2 (a distance 2). In terms of skill and competition level, many players can handle Waldner with ease, like Ma Lin, Wang Hao, ZJK even players like Xu Xin, or...
