Aren't you being a bit premature, my friend lol....

Okay. I think others can judge given Inmade the same comment to another poater who made a similar point to yours. You can have the final word if you need it. I want this thread to stay focused on the tournament. Than you.

No. I am not in the mood because the question itself displays a refusal to just do modest investigation into the details and given your posting history, sometimes I can't discuss such things sometimes with you in good faith. You know the issue yet you are asking as if I made some point that...

BtW for anyone interested, Ranefur has a good youtube channel on his approach to training etc. He is a very deep thinker about table tennis and you can see why his game is giving Lin fits when you watch it.

They clearly do, they just decided to put Moregardh at 3 I suspect to guarantee the one point. May not come to that with how Ranefur is playing.

The power of the Japanese TV table tennis lobby.

Sorry it is not something I am in the mood to discuss seriously. You can watch the match Wang vs Kallberg and see what Kallberg got faulted for. The point is visibility even when the ball is in the air. It should never at any point be obstructed by the body. This is baked into the rules, if...

Thr ball passes behind the head for Kallberg, the referee calls it. It does for Wang, silence. Enforcement is trash.

That toss with 100% certainty passed behind the head or body at some point. Visibility at contact is not the rule.

The rules are not about seeing the ball. I am not sure where this interpretation comes from. The rules are about the ball being visible throughout the serve motion and uncontroversially so.

Oh, sure, its like the circumstances are comparable and WCQ playing here would notnhave made a difference. Making comparisons like this is why you lose credibility. If you didn't translate genuine news articles from Asian sources, your contributions here would be very questionable...

You really needed to watch the matches.

3-1 will not do it since Sweden beat Korea 3-0. It has to be 3-0 ans that is very unlikely though I suspect it might require Lin Shidong to beat Truls and either ZQH, XP or LJK to beat a Karlsson. I think China might take the risk of flipping their order so that WCQ gets to play Truls and LSD...

Yeah. And everyone loses.

I have made this exact same point, this XT timing is way too convenient

You are not being practical. Ruibo Wen has beaten (in recent months) Harimoto and Calderano. Is he perfect, no. But he is not struggling like Liang Jingkun. Sure he wont be favored against Felix etc. But sometimes what you really need is someone who can play inspired table tennis when the...

Wen Ruibo and Xhen Yuanyu would have helped for sure. Unfortunately they couldn't beat Xiang Peng and Zhou Qihao.

Not sure what you are saying. If Wang played against Korea, I think they would have won sure. But even if Wang wins 2 against Japan, Sweden, France or Germany, China still very vulnerable. The main problem is the #3 spot. They might move Lin into the #3 and force Wang to win 2 every time...

I dont think yhey can win it all. Even if Wang is good for two wins, France Japan, Sweden and Germany all have teams that can beat them as currently constituted. The coach would need to have one of the other three regain his top level and LSD has shown he still has the same issues even if he...

I don't entirely agree but I see your point.
