[1:05] Timo Boll: "[Lee Sangsu] is one of the most dangerous players on the tour". From 2021, within the 6-year Sims/NetProphet-confirmed period of decline. Too bad Timo didn't get the memo that LSS was past his peak so clearly he couldn't possibly pose any danger anymore in any given match.

It's all relative obviously. Who has a 30% win rate against top Chinese players?

Xu Xin underperformed that match because I said so. No other wins against top Chinese players, in their prime or not, for Gauzy. It's okay though, he was up 1-0 and had game points a few times, actually winning the match doesn't matter! Look, I can do this too!

I'm not entirely sure where we disagree either at this point but you say that he has been on the slide for the last 6 years and in the last 6 years he has beaten a prime FZD and Ma Long, and LGY multiple times who has been a CNT first team mainstay for the last decade or so whether you consider...

I was mistaken - Shinozuka ended up completing the comeback down 0-2 a few weeks ago in Chongqing.

Franziska and Harimoto were the only two that immediately came to mind as having a comparable list of top player wins.

Players who make WR1 as the definition of "tier 1" is a pretty narrow definition of a tier but to each their own. Accepting that definition though, how many non-Chinese have beaten ML twice (and almost a third), FZD, XX twice, and ZJK, all of whom were WR1 players?

Yes my post was referring to him historically but he has clearly a lot of game left in his tank recently. He beat Fan Zhendong just about a year and a half ago. In the last year he's beaten Shinozuka, Franziska, Yuan Licen, Huang Youzheng, Xiang Peng, Kallberg, Ma Long, and LGY twice. Not top...

Who are some of them that say this?

He's beaten Ma Long twice as well as pushed him to the brink at 2021 Tokyo, Zhang Jike, prime FZD once, Xu Xin twice, and maybe others. What are you unsure about?

Even in LGYs prime, Lee Sangsu was never going to be an easy match nor a guaranteed win. LSS is one of the few from the recent generations who has always been a threat to the top Chinese when he's having his day

What this article doesn't mention is whether or not Japan keeps the center sheets of rubber domestically and/or for sponsored players (most of whom also have customized rubbers). Some Butterfly sponsored players have told me that they also believe the domestic sheets are more consistent and...

Could've waited to vacation until a certain someone was done in Incheon...

Reviews are useless when they are coming from 1350 players pretending to be 2350 former Chinese players. Both for the reviewer and for those trying to gain insights from it. It appears he has now deleted his post saying he played a Westchester Open (which would have given him a USATT rating) -...

You find it weird because it doesn't happen. Louisgenius continues to insist on pretending to be a 2350 former provincial player for whatever reason. I'll leave that up to him. Players who reach the provincial level (generally 2400 at a minimum), like you said, pick their equipment off feeling...

Hey bro that's weird. I thought you didn't have a rating? Or were you "writing as your student" again in this post?

Not sure about blades but some Butterfly sponsored players say the rubber sheets from Japan are better as well

ZYL 2-1 9-4 to 9-11 Game 5 now :eek:

ZYL still has game. One of the bigger what ifs in TT

He also beat Clarence Chew, Walther, and Jang before beating WCQ and LSD at Singapore - do we know that those wins also gave him a confidence boost and are why he eventually won the gold?
