The problem is Sun's forehand behind that annoying serve. Meshref has a beautiful classical topspin game (heavier rotation than pace) and a lefty advantage and that combo bothers some players more than others. But with Sun, if you cannot pressure the backhand, no chance.

Poor Qin - when someone is beating you like this, it can be hard to remember it is best of 5.

Goda always looks like a train wreck and Dina always looks like a sunny beach, I wouldn't use that to assess her mental strength lol.

It was supposed to be Felix, but my autocomplete forgot his name...

That Hashimoto and Sato are not playing women's doubles is a criminal act. MNSHO....

Calling people "child" for defending positions you disagree with is again going too far. There is no reason to call the view stupid, there are different takes on this. That said, if you want to continue this kind of language, please know that it will not be tolerated. The next report will be...

If there was a bet that an Egyptian would be in the round of 16, the money would not have been on Meshref, that's for sure.

The human race must be entirely made up of 6 year olds... But seriously, while many things about sports are fairly arbitrary , the main point is that he is not convinced by the ability of the tech to measure accurately to 0.04 and that even then, it is not within the ability of human beings to...

Alright. No need for language like that. Last time I am tolerating it from you. Next time is an automatic ban. Thanks. I simply asked you for evidence you know that the level of precision is not objective and whether you would accept the tolerance downwards vs upwards. For example, it is...

Remember people, the silly reason for this post is that Harimoto likes to make fun of Truls Moregardh, and when we pointed out how silly Harimoto was being in the face of Truls performances at big moments, @zeio as usual started doubling down as if anyone really thinks Harimoto is a bad player...

So what evidence do you have that the precision is not measurable? Something substantial? Or just your opinion? And when tosses can be easily within precision, what is the difference between being out of precision and being 0.04 degrees out? If the call was 29.96 degrees, would you have said...

So many great points from Lind - these points, you usually refuse to go this athletically deep but he went there because he didn't want to leave any stone unturned - when Lind squats, beware people!:

The quality is there but the stability no. He would need to beat Sora and find ways to compete against players like Hugo and Harimoto. I don't really see it. His ball quality is phenomenal but that is also in part because Wang (and a few Chinese) are too stubborn to go to mid-distance partly...

Truls? Harimoto? Sora? Hello?

But it used to be about 4 players, now it is almost entirely about 1. Very surprised that LJK isn't playing, i wonder whether his physical form is really worse than advertised.

That's why we need to keep reminding people that 20 degrees is not vertical. Because the reviews create the impression that umpires are incompetent for calling 22 and 25 and 28 degree serves. When the truth is that it is hard to tell the angle once you lose verticality but some just do it...

Here we go again. The point is that if you accept that 20 degrees is not vertical and 30 degrees is the tolerance then there isnt really any rounding required. Moreover, neither of us knows the precision of the measurement to say that 0.04 degrees is something to rounded. If the precision is...

I was thinking something alongst those lines when I saw LSD repeatedly fail to gain an advantage on Alexis while Alexis was well off the table. Feels like you need really special technique to get away with Hurricane on the forehand at that level.

Well, no Chinese men in the quarters - that's a new feeling....
