The argument wasn't technical failures but is the more nuanced "Hayata is a dumb-dumb"

Curious what happened in the Lind match. Looks like we easily beat Freitas 4-0 which is pretty surprising. Lind when he's 100% on his game is extremely fun to watch and it doesn't happen often enough due to his lack of consistency. Did anyone watch the whole thing?

Yeah she was missing them either long or off the net cord. In the last the majority of points looked like unforced errors. But Yu was doing was doing a good job making her move around and maybe encouraging those mistakes. She seemed particularly uncomfortable moving to the BH to get the deep...

I only caught the last 2 games but it looked like Yu was blocking deep into JJH's BH corner and JJH never had an answer for that tactic.

Woah Jeon Jihee is in some serious trouble against Fu Yu. Had 3 game points in the 3rd but let Fu Yu steal that one. Now down 0-3 :oops:

That's great that the crowd understood how much of an underdog he was and how well he played to make it so close. Encouraging to see so many fans in one place show that sort of respect to relatively unknown players.

Some really heavy support for the Congolese player against Kallberg. Anyone know how became such a fan favorite? He even got a standing ovation after losing a tight 7th game. There's gotta be a story behind this right?

That's a helluva training program. Is your body capable of all that training volume or are you implementing some sort of recovery protocols to offset the fatigue?

Man this crowd is awesome. There was a great rally between Doo Hoi Kem and the North Korean Player Park and the crowd cheered extra loud for the gameplay. I can't imagine either of these girls having a big fan section, so the fact that people are there cheering on plays instead of just players...

What's with the extremely loud cheering coming from for the other tables? That's the loudest I've ever heard a TT crowd get in a long time. Was it for Bernie?

Let me summarize this conversation for you so far and you can tell me where I'm misunderstanding how it went: zeio: Trying to hit those two FHs for winners proves she's dumb turbo: Wouldn't everybody in that situation try to hit those winners? zeio: Ishida once said she was dumb turbo: Wtf...

And neither of your countries of origin have fuck all to do with the conversation. Except you seem to bizarrely think that it's some sort of trump card.

You didn't answer my question so you're wasting both of our times here. If a sitter comes to Hayata who is in a good position to hit the ball for a winner. Is it more dumb to: 1. Try to hit a winner or 2. Hit something else I'm only responding to your specific argument about 2 crucial FHs (in...

WTT has had plenty of opportunities to take notes. Bundesliga, T-League, ETTU all have all had far superior production in the past few years. They aren't interested in improving and it's pretty evident, unfortunately.

Wow what a response in Game 5 after an extremely disappointing Game 4 result for the French team. 11-2 Lebrun is playing great doubles today. Yuan needs to pick it up a bit.

Speaking of missing FHs, Yuan has missed a good amount of absolute sitters in this match, and crucially at deuce contributing to a 4th game loss. Something she's been doing a lot of recently in the past year I've noticed. Her FH smashes used to be a strong point but lately she's missed more...

Those balls were high enough for it to be the right move to be finished by any player on every single occasion. What, you think she should've chopped the ball or something there? There are probably better moments to pick to back up your Hayata=dumb argument.

Looks like Alexis has a good response for LYJ's BH flick receives. Seen that exact same point with him chop blocking that chiquita and then the ball being dumped into the net by Chen.

Must be miserable to live in your world where people that smile deserve contempt.

Yeah this is amazing. I only started watching pro TT after covid so a big crowd with high stakes like this is a completely new experience watching live. Were world championship events like this in the past?
