These are the show tables, so it makes sense they have TTR. Even tennis tournaments with very very few exceptions don't have hawkeye on every table.

Dang is underrated, anyone 😋? Or is it something about London?

Dang is playing some insane shots today!

That's not casual language in the West. Just saying.

They put her in thr #1 slot. If they felt she was injured, they would have protected her.

Yeah, but she lost to Kim Nayeong who is of course a good player but which needs a balanced perspective.

Everyone has bad days, bad tournaments or can be handled by less known players. Let's see how the whole tournament plays out. Then it will be easier to say what is going on.

TTR is fairly expensive to implement in its current form and unlikely to be used for a tournament this size especially in the group stages held on multiple tables.

Many pros have hidden serves, Ly is not unique. I am surprised Allegro struggled so much. Usually a serve has to be jigh quality and not just hidden to bother a professional. That said, I am for the serve rules being followed so the assistant umpire needed to do better. But many pros...

Poland: Go, Sabine! We got your back!

Saw this article about her while looking for her equipment lol: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202107/06/WS60e3abb4a310efa1bd65fe45.html

Okay. I don't agree his argument is a superficial as you do. We can agree to disagree on that. What would make his point moot was more examples of you posting and interacting when you were plugging no products of yours. And there is no need for this IMHO, but I know and can accept that...

Ursu the enigma - usually beats Gionis but today... Quadri won donkey of the day with that chop smash...

One of the benefits of the USATT system is that we have a rating system that gives you expectations. But when the match starts, a lot is about the matchup on that day and not about the expectations per se. I don't know how much you train or play, but you do sound like someone who hasn't played...

I am usually USATT 1800-2100 depending on the day or weather and my ability to move. I don't play as frequently or consistently anymore, I try my best but age and injuries are still factors as well as family life. Usually many players in America have different histories with serious training...

EGY is winning that one lol. Nigeria has struggled to maintain the semblance of a professional squad with all the corruption within the country.

Sure, if you know any pros, you can share if that is your experience in table tennis. Its when you don't that you can come up with all kinds of ideas. Let's just say that what you just claimed is something I have never experienced talking to pros but you may have other experiences.

Lol... that framing sounds too self-serving. It's more likely that the loser simply told some of his friends not to invest anymore. It's virtually impossible to tarnish a professional sport body's image.

His criticism wasn't entirely baseless, it is something we screen people for all the time. Ultimately, it's a judgment call. We try to be as laissez-faire as reasonable while affirming that it isn't a free speech web forum. But if he pushes it too far beyond his main point, we can revisit. I...
