They did, there is a difference between doing it before semis and doing it as champions

The only countries playing in men's and women's events in the semis: China and Japan... the more things change, the more they remain the same...

The match score will still be 3-0 lol...

There is a such a thing as should have and it is based on expectation. 5 should beat 25 or whatever. Coton has beaten a lot of good players and even pushed Lin Yun Ju 5 games. Beating Hugo was not outside his range. I get your defense of Hugo and accept it on a basic level, but the bottom...

Iizuka has spoken... the verdict is no...

Not for god who sees and knows all...

god doesn't make mistakes ;).

I can't disagree more. There is a significant difference between a top 5 player and a top 25 player usually. Losing 0-3 (the way Hugo did) makes no sense. He should have won at least a game.

That is true but if the level difference is as large as reflected in the world ranking. It shouldn't matter. That it does matter shows the level difference is not that large at all.

Still calling Coton the next LGY?

Come on, I was only joking... am I now Nostradamus lol...

Can you believe that the French #3 is the best player Hugo has played so far in this event?

I can't believe I already forgot that lol. That said, it is different when you win the final vs when you have matches to be played after yours.

We might get the 1998 World Cup Final Replay lol... France 3 Brazil 0 lol...

@Matt Hetherington, Any knowledge of this? Thanks.

Never knew the table could carry that much weight lol... congrats Romania!

Hugo has the new rubbers... that said, he hasn't played a top 10 player so far because Brazil are the only men's team outside the top 8 that beat a seed (England).

Samara usually loses to YJN so nothing changed there... 2nd game was the critical game. Bernie can beat YJN though it has been closer recently. So it will come down Bernie can maintain her edge on the French team and whether one of Adina or Andrea can add a win. Dragoman and Lutz have...

Why suspicious? It was obviously encouraged by his coach and his mentors.
