Actually this argument is wrong when you compare her serves to JJH. Korean serves are really like samsonov, she even opens her body while she touches the ball with the racket. Of course most of players do not serves perfectly but it is totally different when somebody completely hide the serves...

Yes probably it was dead ball. Nevertheless it reminds me how XX finished fang bo with the snake. Just making his opponents looks amateurs sometimes.

Yes it is very likely she did not see the net serving from FH side bending towards the racket and hidding completely the ball.

I am thinking if there is any easier opponent for XX then harimoto. Last point XX couldn't stop laughing. Harimoto took big swing as if he wanted to kill a fly with a Cannon and missed the ball.

I think last year there was a rule CNT member cannot lose to foreigners. If sth like this happened he/she was banned for few months from world tour. Seems after many losses both on men and women side they decided to cancel that rule.

Mizutani was very unlucky in games 2 and 3, from that he started having big problems with serves receive and finally easy win for LGY.

Where did you watch it. I could not find it on YT. Is there going to be later on YT?

What happened with the match mizutani vs ovtcharov

It is clearly visible that they spend too much money creating the show which finally is not great regarding table tennis. Of course it is good to watch in computer but I do not see many spectators and bigger value then typical world tour. Not to mention the comentators :mad:

Actually Ishikawa did not play that bad. She had some chances and she was trying to find the way changing tactics. First two sets she had great problem reading Ito serve, which in my opinion were illegal. But the main problem was pushing the ball after Ito chop. It was very clear: Ishikawa...

it is incredible how Ito is hiding the serves. I have some guy in our club he also bend like Ito and you can just guess what is the spin on the ball or observe the ball which is very difficult.

lucky CXT

for all Adam Bobrow haters - now you have it great :cool:.

I did not suggest that. I thought chan is some kind of chinese word, and it sound strange to me that is why I asked.

Maybe I am noob regarding japanese or chinese language or their culture but I never thought that asking question can offend anyone...

I thought "chan" is some kind of chinese word and I felt strange AB is using sth like that in Austria for japanese player.

Anybody knows why AB calls mima ito MIMA CHAN?

Unfortunatelly timo forgot about his main rule - Play all the points the same does not matter the score. The last serce when he was up 10:9 he served long and fzd came back and from that time he believed timo Has not much options.

Kihara and Nagasaki - new generation chasing.

I think JTTA should postpone taking decision. Seems most of japanese girls made important progress. Especially hayata. But Ishikawa did really good job against Wang Yidi (probably the winner of Austria). The thing is who can keep top level for longer time and find the best rythem for olympics...
