Sabine Winter 3-2 Doo Hoi Kem (-10,-8, 8, 9, 4).

Sabine keeps getting tempted to overwhelm without placement. It's not going to work, she needs to get in the point on her forehand opening and then overwhelm with placement later in the point.

It is instructive to see how much better Harimoto returned serve and defended his middle. He needs to play more like that and less like a statue. You mean the fact that Dang beat Sora comprehensively just a few days earlier would encourage you to try a different strategy?

They had ABC last time and lost, it was really the benefit of having played the first match which enabled adjustments for players to reverse or improve prior results. Actually they didnt have ABC but my point still stands.

Lol... The upside ia clearly with Togami. Just take it for what it is, Franziska did a great job. Out rallying Togami is not easy lol.

Happy for Patrick. Losing these kinds of matches cost him in the past.

Good point. I will have to rewatch the video for timing.

There is clearly a gap in the rules when a fault is called after a receiver misses the serve. In tennis, the point is awarded to the server. In table tennis they replay the point. Makes no sense. Franziska got cheated twice. Though iMHO, the second one might have been a fault under...

24 degrees is not vertical, it is just tolerated.

She has kinesiology tape on her knee. What exactly it means is anyone's guess. But the use of her in a role that puts pressure on Sally is the kind of thing the team has to have discussed. It actually gives the US a guaranteed win vs most teams at #3 and the strategy is not that uncommon on...

I guess even if they explain why a player with a bad knee is playing less, we as watchers will still know better than the coaches and the players what they should have done.

Between Anna, Tintin, Tom, Connor and Sam and potential work from Liam, Larry and Paul, I think they have earned the right to some funding for LA 2028. There is a strong XT team somewhere in there that can do damage.

Hugo - Connor 1-0, 5-5 - talk about backhand footwork ....

Not sure what the point of this post is... everyone loses.

Hugo is the right kind of villain to eliminate the Brits. At least Brazil let them have 2 wins with the lineup order change. I wonder whether England would have had a chance if Connor and Iizuka played each other....

2-1, 7-7 - that point is killer - Jarvis is a BEAST (man).

I think those things are important when you are also working on the important stuff. But without working on the important stuff, their value is very questionable.

I get the prediction but Walker is a really strong player (with big highs and lows) so I really didn't understand it. But I could see 3-0 and 3-2. Brazil surprised them with the order change.

Kaufmann makes KKY look very ordinary.

Can you say that in all seriousness after seeing all the players Sally beat here and her performance against Winter and in recent events? The strategy of Sally 2, Lily 1, got them all the way here. It was 1 point away from working again. Why all the second guessing now? Amy is probably in...
