Hope Shan can win the match, would love to see Kaufmann getting a chance at the finals with the fate in her own hands!

It won't happen unless we get to at least a match 4.

It's hard to see if a serve is hidden from the ref's POV though, which is why it's almost never called. It's always the serve verticalness that gets called because it's very easy for them to see where the toss starts and where it ends. The difference between Alexis and WCQ's serves in these...

Yeah it was pretty obvious. His hand started the toss just past the midline on the FH side of the table, and he hit the ball right around the edge of the table on the BH side. That's a toss over half the width of the table and wasn't a high toss, so pretty obvious call for the ref. To be fair...

I don't think I've been accused of being too weak before lol. It's mostly a matter of technique anyway, and if you think unboosted H3N BS of any degree can be regularly hit into in a match situation then you probably aren't playing at a high enough of a level. Unboosted H3 is really primarily...

Every video I've watched of top Chinese players talking about boosting they glue it fairly soon after they finish boosting, so should be good timing! I had a very different experience with D09c boosted with FTL though, gluing it up the next night every backspin I tried to loop went into the...

That's definitely the forehand!

Not the Chinese pros, they advocate just breathe on it and wipe with hand. No cleaners, no rubber protector, just a case. They also don't keep their rubbers for long though.

I think they have a chance. Alexis is like Togami, can take down some superstars but doesn't have enough variations to his game to adjust to adversity. Gauzy vs Shinnozuka is probably a push as well.

Yeah, RP can generate more spin due to the wrist action, but hook can be harder to read.

Huh? He definitely uses his FH side to serve his reverse pendulum, as does everyone else.

In that case definitely not gonna be easier lol

I was out with COVID a couple days ago. After I started feeling a bit better but still had some symptoms was still quarantining at home, I did some light practices with the robot. Mostly the short push right off the bounce. Backspins, no spins, and a focus on topspins. I had a drill where...

Surprised that India gave the CNT A team quite the scare not that long ago, and is now struggling against the CNT D team :sneaky:

Yeah, many NFL QBs can play till they're around 40 after getting hit repeatedly by ~300lb guys coming at them at full speed, I think Lin can do it. I can't recall the last time a top pro quit TT entirely due to injuries. I think maybe Lin just needs to take a few months, maybe even a year...

They probably will, but he qualified it by saying during CNT's strongest era. It doesn't seem like the CNT is gonna be as strong relative to the rest of the world going forward as the era spanning from WLQ to FZD, at least for men's.

Hah, it's late here so I have the volume down, couldn't hear the pips and can't see it clearly on TV. These days, if you're gonna go pips, just go all the way to LP IMO.

She definitely can't handle Kaufmann, but interesting to see Lily vs. Yuan. Yuan Wan plays a really flat FH, almost like she has pips on that side, doesn't seem to do well against Lily's game.

Interesting adjustments by WCQ. Seems like he's doing less of those really forward leaning full powered loops and instead is looping with more brushing and arc like LJK's loops.

Looks like the German team coach knows a lot better than me :ROFLMAO:
