On third game of Lin against Lin, the score was 11:1, a completely shut-down. At the high level both players are playing, this type of score is not supposed to happen. The other Lin needs to step up and show some mental toughness.

Chinese men's team's fate in this tournament is hanging on the shoulder of young LSD. He lost the first one but hung tough to even it. Unlike other non-top tier Chinese players, LSD has a track record of mentally tough and often comes back.

Man of the hour. Too bad he is in a collision course with little Felix. The poor little one is gonna be bullied by his big brother again. I'd like to see the battle between him and LSD. If he can beat Lin with conviction, it may mark the turning point of Chinese dominance over the years.

The ultimate respect you show towards your opponent is shedding tears after you won. One girl's hiccup is another girl's career highlight moment.

Three interesting revenge matches will be on R16: Felix vs China's XP, a chance for Felix to prove the last time XP beat him is just a fluke. Alexis vs. Truls, after swept by Alexis, Truls also needs to prove the last match is not the beginning of a trend. Harimoto vs. Anton, a good time...

Unless obvious or outrageous illegal serves, faulting a player's serve at deuce means the ref decided the game outcome. In NBA, refs usually are very reluctant to call a fault as they try to let the players decide the game.

That comment is really hash from a coach. Is it french style?

Lets pray he won't meet LSD boy. Did Chinese coaches owe LGY something for they keep giving him all the opportunities but he seldom delivers in the international stage.

Well, they play only on one table. It goes slow but players all got undivided attentions.

Price money compared to other smashes? Probably not impressive.

Isn't true for everyone that drill is easier than real match playing? Two main reasons here: drill is well anticipated shots you act upon; drill is stress free In the real game, most shots towards you are either random or more likely with ill intention to make you feel uncomfortable. Also in...

In stead of debating who is the goat, we should first reach a common consensus (or at least majority consensus) on which attributes constitute a goat status. For me, some major attributes will be: achievement: ...# of major titles (big moment performance) ...# of major tournament titles...

So did Liu Guoliang who had Waldner's number most of his career until a year or two before his retirement. Even with statistics, I'll still rank Waldner ahead of Jiang and Liu.

Oh, my bad. He did win multiple world cup. thanks for correction. If my memory is not all lost, I believe at one world cup (maybe 1999) he beat the great Austria player Werner Shlager.

Number of major titles might not the only factor, but it's still a huge, maybe the most important factor. For Samsonov, he didn't win even one major title. Major title here means world champion, world cup and Olympic. With that said, Samsonov is one of the most gentleman like players, if not...

The big brother has better shot quality. In the past, he tended to have problem with lots of unforced errors. But, his up-ceiling should be higher than his brother.

Lol. A Lebrun has been bulling his little brother all the time while the little one was busy bulling other European players. It's about the time the big brother to do some justice for his little one.

That's a quite big obstacle he has finally overcome. The older brother's game has a grown spurt. He is developing Xu Xin like reputation when he is in the lob position audience expect him to win the point.

Very impressive indeed considering how thoroughly he was demolished by LSD in WTT Macao by only scoring 1,2,3 points for each games. The German is a tough dude who can rise from the ashes.

You have some very good points. The complex of the rule itself makes the ref work very difficult. Tossing angle and height are visually challenging to be precise. But clean exposure of ball contact without blockage of any body parts is almost impossible to call in a flip moment when a violent...
