Last season, usually 50 people were watching live stream. How many of those would pay to watch it live? Haha, or maybe you will get paid to watch it live (big way to boost TT in the US):)?
Please update with your shopping experience after Aug. 29th. What is the import tax from each country and how much longer it takes to deliver due to custom clearance?
I think de minimis exemptions for all nations end on Aug. 29. So importing from any country will need to pay tariffs.
Did anyone order from Amazon JP? Not sure about the policy about importing from Japan. 10% or 15% tariff?
If you keep hitting into the net, it is more likely due to technique problem than equipment. Post a video here and a lot of people can help. For most amateurs, the problem for equipment is usually too fast not too slow.
Unforced errors are usually for amateurs with poor fundamentals, not for professionals. You can talk to a USATT 1500 player about unforced errors, but for a world No 1? Haha
No coaching should be allowed for clothes change and medical timeout. I think ITTF should write it in its law. HT mentioned that he took the medical timeout because WCQ took the clothes change after game 5.
Medical timeout is actually written in the law book, and clothes change is not.
Pretty impressed by HT’s game today. He adopted a lot of ZYL style, spin, short stroke, good placement, variations of strike power . Well prepared. Breaking bad HT= Winning HT
Kanak stood little chance when HT plays like a bigger Kanak. Harimoto's short game is better than Kanak's and that alone almost determines the match result.
Kanak Jha beat Dang Qiu quite convincingly in the short game, but Harimoto's short game is pretty good as well. Kanak Jha was well underestimated from the beginning of the tournament. Let's see whether Harimoto prepares well for their match.
