It's not even about ML's state or whether he has any disturbances that shocked me, It's his play in general, I think he wasn't really cognisant of what was happening in the court and it led to the loss, majority of his serves were to the forehand and middle , Lin flicked them and he kept playing...

I still think though that Ittf has to review how the T2 diamond events hold sway over the World Rankings, I don't know much about the rules but I suppose the 3 T2 events would be in addition to the best 8 World Tour Events, So if XX who's in form for example wins the 3 events, He'll have 3000...

How much do the winner get?

Yep, Fan didn't do anything special, only more stable with fewer mistakes, his touch looked better too, Although I think he somehow loses concentration as the match winds down and he starts to see the win in sight he starts to be more error prone and things quickly go south, like today he was...

I don't see her style as outdated, Whenever a player is in a rut we tend to find faults in technique or style or mental strength but this things happen, This same style too her to the final in WTTC 2017, Won her her world cup, Asian Cups and her titles on the world tour in 2017 and 2018, that...

I'll rather just blame the Chinese, We all need something or someone to blame for things turning out how we don't want them to in this 21st century

I agree with Mr yoass, it's gotten a bit too far, I'm not intending to offend anyone but I think our Chinese speaking contingent who are very invaluable to this forum due to the video translations, articles, streams and making us aware of happenings in the Asian table tennis scene are...

HZJ and CXT are the seeded players there, if JNT can't beat these players that's not good news, If CNT really wanted to block them, they'll send the top 6 there, So they're basically saying Ishikawa, Ito, Hirano you can win this open to stamp your participation in Tokyo, talk about helping Japan lol

I think the reason they're playing three categories is an eye on the team events of the Olympics as well, Fan/Xu will probably be the go-to pair but ML is playing doubles too because who knows he might be the one that has to pair with XX in the end like in the Team World Cup

I don't really believe this sacrifice that many are thinking CM made, She was so nervous and kept making mistakes and looking at Ma Lin, I don't know why it seems like every step these players think or every thing they do there's always something sinister behind that, or there's an ulterior...

What happened between Groth and Jingkun, I saw him complaining to the empire

So he's a 98 kid right?

What are you insinuating?

High toss serves only try to unnerve opponents psychologically in my opinion, there's nothing special in the serve

Or she'll reach 29 and the whole country will start supporting her like Liu Shiwen to win a WTTC, In the best interest of the team, Ding and Liu should retire after Tokyo, CM and ZYL would be 30 and 29 respectively by Paris 24 ( just as Ding and Liu would be 30 years and 29 years old...

Nah, LGL that man is traditional and stubborn as hell- WTTC winners will only play in singles and he'll favour past Olympians over someone who's never been there, Someone that was saying when ZJK was in that rut around 2015-16 that if ZJK wants he'll play in Tokyo, Even now in interviews he'll...

Surprised at the result too, Maybe she's unnerved by the penhold play, At least she gave Manyu a lot of problems too last week, And it was really tight, Or it could just be this thing of players only bringing their best game out when they face the top Chinese players, That's kinda what's...

Yeah I believe that, I think they said that to calm her down and not over think and crumble due to pressure

When I saw the draw, and remembering that both FZD's and PF's last encounters were really close, I had this eery feeling that Fan may be knocked out in the second round with this bad form. Something I noticed after his loss to JYS was surprising: Usually after wins, the coach and the player...

Hello guys, New guy here, I'm glad to be here. I hope to learn from y'all
