Too bad I can not find live stream

Yes, you are very likely right. Ito may have mighty struggle against top Chinese topspin players because the spin and pace they put on the ball often lure Ito into lots of errors, against other pits she still maintain advantage as pace and spin are not there anymore so that her error rate is...

All three pits players you quoted are steadier than Ito. Of course, none of them can beat Ito in terms of ruthless offensive power. However, the general philosophy for a pits player is, you try to force opponents to play your type of game, make them uncomfortable and earn each point. Pits win...

Ito's main problem is amount of the unforced errors she committed which gives her opponents hope that as long as they hang on Ito would have a chance defeating herself with all the errors even including lots of service errors. Apart from her short peak years, Ito's never seriously addressed the...

In LSD vs. Shinozuka match, the second game went to distance after deuce and ended at 18:16. Who came at the top of the grounding? No surprise, it's iron-willed LSD. Seems LSD has got himself into a good habit of winning the gut-wrenching battles. Good for him. Is Oh the same Korean player who...

Is Ma Lin's job in danger? Frankly, Ma Lin as a player had a very tricky and complicated game tactics that demanded a great control and feeling that most women player just don't have. Maybe that is the reason his on site coaching didn't seem effective. Perhaps, CNT should consider inviting Kong...

Seems anything under the skirt won't escape your sharp eyes. :)

Yes, I really like this girl's game, a modern version of long pit attacking Deng Yaping style. Can S Korean send some top spies to kidnap her out of N Korea?

What about a whole lot more great father and daughter/son moments in Harimoto family?

An improvement for WCQ?

That was then and this is now. Maybe the boy's game just has gone through a growth spurt recently like the puberty spurt for boys at this age. No way you can find a boy U18 anywhere plays this good giving top 5 pros that much trouble. He might just be a table tennis genius born in Iran.

After his performance in Asian game, we probably will see him play against pros regularly.

This kid is for real. He is just gifted in table tennis. Didn't you guys see him expertly spin the ball into the air and let it land on the top of the fist to test the ball roundness? Only a few seasoned pros like Xu Xin showed this magic trick. For a boy of his age to master the trick, he has...

Come on, any coach would do the same to a crying boy whether he played good or bad. It's just a common human nature.

In China Smash final at 7th game, LSD was 4:8 trailing Ma Long and came back winning 7 points in a row and claimed the title. In ATTC, against Faraji, at the decider, Lin was 3:9 behand, won 6 points in a row leveling the score, than grounded out a final win at 17:15. A 14 years old boy was so...

No way XX would come to USA even Adam begged him. Europe might be a possibility as XX is the number one player European wants to lure as his playing style will attract a huge audience there.

Yes, that's all on nerve. At 10:8, he served long trying to surprise WCQ to get an easy point considering WCQ's struggling (actually, Wang at that moment just settled down, but Lin didn't sense that) that was not a bad option. However, his serve flew out of the table due to his tense nerve. Next...

I wonder why Ma Lin trusted so much on Wang Yidi even though she got beat by Japanese players many times recently. Why not sending Shi Yunyao who previously had a clean sweep of Miwa? In stead, Ma Lin called Chen Xingtong who made an emergency trip from China. Chen previously was left out of the...

It's about time Japan beat China once for a while. This is the right time as China didn't present its best lineup with WMY and CM missing. Also, after two back to back intense WTT champion and smash battles, all its core members are pretty fatigued. Ma Lin: second place? Nah, I don't want to...

For quality of the match, Asian champs is just as good as worlds and Olympics. China and Japan are the top twp in women's table tennis for the last 10+ years.
