Damn shame. How the hell does one lose seven points in a row before the home crowd, after coming back from 0:3 to 2:3? He should have had an immense psychological advantage at that point, maximum confidence. Too bad. Ah well, I hope Samsonov does good. But I have a feeling we're gonna have...

Looks possible. He finally won a game, but just barely. Down 1-3, and doesn't seem to be nowhere near the top of his game. Missing A LOT of "easy" shots. Too much. I hope he gets through this, but I'm not convinced he will. Down 3-6 in game 5, Fegerl looking strong. EDIT: It's 2:3 now! This...

Looks like Maze may be cracking under the home turf pressure. 3-0 up in game 2, suddenly 4-10 down and ending up losing 7-11. GET YOUR SH** TOGETER, MICHAEL!

Doesn't look good for Maze right now. He doesn't seem to be in it 100%, very nervous. Perhaps the home crowd will lift him.

Liam Pitchford styling all over Quentin Robinot. :D EDIT: Wow, I must have seriously jinxed him or something. He was up 8:4 in game 2, only to lose it 11:8. :eek:

Wait, it cannot be recycled? I didn't know that.

Allan Bentsen is badass! :cool:

I demand that Andrej Gacina be included in the poll!! :D He's not injured or anything, is he?

Didn't think it was you either, NHF. I guess whoever is shooting these doesn't know that even those crappy DVD handycams from a while back have widescreen mode. xD Anyway, I hope Pitchford VS Knight will be up on youtube soon. They're both interesting players, and I think Liam has lots of...

What's with the aspect ratio? It's 2012, let 4:3 rest in peace already. :D

I'm gonna be representing my (now former) school at the University championships later this month. I graduated a couple of months ago, so this will be my third and final appearance. I came in fourth last year at singles, and won bronze in doubles.

Uhm... Ryu Sean Min? ;) BTW, gray tables and gray floors? Orange balls would look great in that setting.

ETTU.org looks much better, though it cannot be said that its design is completely up to date either, aesthetics-wise. Just look at UEFA.com or ATPtennis.com. But I imagine these two pay their webmasters considerably more. :D 2012 ETTC official site looks great, though.

OK srsly, the design is just atrocious. It's like it's 1998 all over again, and we're all on 56 kbps modems. :D It's 2012 for crying out loud, nice looking websites are not the elite thing any more. This is actually embarrassing in a way, because table tennis is now more then ever getting crap...

Wait, this isn't a sado-mazo thread? Bye! xD

My grip is pretty much similar to yours, except that my thumb is a bit more relaxed. My coach (back in my early teens) was adamant that I was holding it WRONG, but once you get used to a certain style, you form all your strokes accordingly, so there was no going back. Still, I never had any...

IIRC Kong Linghui held the bat something like that and I don't remember him having trouble with his backhand. :D

Zoran Primorac, of course. I had posters of him and Waldner on my wall back when I was a kid. Got him to sign my racket pouch (or "batwallet", whatever you wanna call it) once... A few months later it got stolen (with a racket in it). Ah well... :(

I was browsing through some YouTube videos and came across his match against Paul Drinkhall in the English Nationals final, and I really don't wish to be mean here, but Pitchford's appearance stunned me a bit, and not in a good way. Skinny is one thing, but he looks almost malnourished. It...

Federer. Superb allround player with unmatched stroke precision and both offensive and defensive capabilities, not to mention keeping cool under pressure. BTW, which of the TT players has the worst temper? I guess that guy (whoever he may be) could be compared to either John "Superbrat"...
