I'm embarrassed because I've read of enough of your posts that I should know that you're not being serious in this case ;).

Haha, Sadly not! I don't know how often Waldner comes back but Mikael Appelgren is one of the coaches here so he's bound to be there often during the league season. My dad is friend with an ex pro golfer who's friends with Waldner, the golfer told me I was gonna get to meet him but I feel its...

I'm visiting my dad in Stockholm at the moment and visited Spårvägen BTK which is the club where Waldner and Mikael Appelgren came from. The standard in Sweden seems much higher than England, at least than the city I was studying in. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en"...

Mine are very short and I can do it, like suds said, curl your fingers in more. I found the best way to learn was to just practice catching the ball with your fingernails without spinning it at all, then spin it a little bit and keep increasing the spin. Then you'll find after a few days or...

This is true. It's also worth saying, even though these are top professional players, playing a 13 year old boy is probably not something they are used to. They also need to adapt, be it mentally or tactically. It's easy to talk the talk, walking the walk is bound to be quite different, at...

According to a Japanese woman I've often played against in the past who follows the japanese table tennis scene closely, Niwa doesn't cho because that's his strategy. Whenever he has cho'd it's because he's been told to. Apparently he was told to cho more in the olympics for the spectators, but...

The thing is, I don't think anyone disagrees with you. It's completely obvious that no one wants to see their hero or favourite player lose. And what you're saying here seems to be direct contradiction to what you've said previously. You're now saying that you "want him to fight to death rather...

ML vs FZD has to be the most interesting match. Though I really enjoy watching him play any player, as it just shows how good his game is. It's incredible to see how he's developed over the years although I've only really followed him for the last few years since taking table tennis more...

I was just watching this, very interesting. Liu Guoliang talking about the pressures and the issues he's had to deal with. I was surprised to find out the CNT wasn't particularly popular among young people before rio and that they suddenly gained lots of popularity after the event. You can tell...

On Sunday I went to play at the usual sessions I go to but was conscious of the time as I wanted to be back for 7PM when the Harimoto vs XX game started. Of course I forgot the time and played one match too many, looked at the time and it was 7.30 or something. I decided to sprint back home up...

Nothing wrong to have that opinion but your statement is a bit black and white. Many people including me would rather see them play and enjoy themselves, regardless of results. If you actually see them as your hero or are a fan of them then you should be happy for them regardless. Of course it's...

That was the most intense game I've ever witnessed, CONGRATS MA LONG.

FZD is such a boss, way too good.

Why do you think he's injury faking? Genuinely curious. “My opponent was very aggressive while I was a bit slow and my mental game was not very good. It was hard to find a loophole. If I won the fifth round I would have had a chance, but I was rather passive in this match. My preparation was...

People may think his choing is disrespectful - fair enough. I don't think disrespectful is the right word for it. But otherwise he seems respectful and very mature for his age. I hope he calms down a bit in the future and continues to deliver even more amazing table tennis!

So happy Niwa won, one of my favourite players.. his attitude, the way he plays, such a likable and enjoyable player to watch. Great close game.

Ma Long seems to be in the zone, amazing performance 10-1 in game 3 and 5-0 up in the 4th.

I did indeed. And again, I never said that it should be ignored and I haven't ignored it, quite the opposite actually. It would be a lot more impressive if he didn't cho, sadly no one is perfect. Sadly, choing isn't banned which has allowed for this annoying "strategy" or whatever you want to...

I think it annoys many people, me included if I let it get to me. I don't know how many times I have to say it or what I have to do to get you to understand that I don't find the choing okay. This is about understanding what is in and out of your control. If you know what you're up against you...

No and I never thought that or said that.
