You mean DoorAbove FalconAssistant?

I'd say he deserves special treatment for what he's accomplished. I'm just wondering if there are rules for who gets to use the arena PA. Could I just go up and use it to lead cheers for the Mukherjee sisters if I said I was their official fan club representative or something?

Why does Ma Long get a hype man to lead cheers for him using the arena PA system? Is it because this is considered Chinese home territory?

First brother/sister combo to get into semi-finals in the same event? In consecutive matches no less.

I don't know who this new commentator is or what is name is but I'm going to start referring to him as "Captain Obvious" from now on.

Alright let's go through these: Your argument is that Boll had lost every single time before meeting China. So it turned out to be an accurate prediction, but based on your own argument it was something to be expected. If you want to go back to find exactly how against expectations the...

Man these Chinese fans really just care only about their players huh. Most badass two handed backhand by Hugo and dead silence. Roar of approval when he misses a serve though. I get that they want to support their guy but damn ....

I noticed that WYD had zero crowd support in her match against Miwa because all the fan girls were busy cheering on Lin Gaoyuan. Probably wouldn't have made a difference in the result, but the fans really needed to take turns paying attention to the WYD match and cheering for her, because she...

Great match between Hayata and SYB. Looked like Hayata had hit a wall and was going to drop the last two games but she got it done somehow.

Togami speedran those last two games against Assar. Seems to be getting better and better results recently. Gotta be the Dignics right?

It's also a lot cheaper if you think about it. Get a faster blade which could be like $20-$50 for a pretty good one. Stuff from Sanwei, Yinhe, etc. They are cheap enough where you can do the reverse of what people usually do which is to find rubbers to suit their blade. If you want to get...

The effortless and confident way he executes such powerful shots is really intimidating. Plays like the final boss but he's still a kid.

What predictions? As far as I know you haven't made any predictions, and are in the game of post-hoc armchair quarterbacking. How about we use this opportunity for you to make prediction on the performances of each JNT member against the CNT team in the near future. You know everything about...

Harimoto blocking back all of Freitas' jumping sell-out FHs was pretty funny. Harimoto won like 4 points that way and Freitas couldn't believe it each time. :LOL:

Lol yah Pavade has some serious Tourettes going on. But I generally am not too bothered by the anxious quirks of players whether it's Harimoto's screaming or Pavade's verbal tics. Also I think the pattern goes: "A-yo....allez allez....yo..." The thing that gets me to dislike a player is...

Based on the handle insert, the actual name of the blade should be two words: "Had Raw" So any guesses as to what completes the phrase? Coming from Japan, it may be safe to assume that the answer is "Had Raw Fish" But I'm gonna go with the x-rated version personally.

Sorry I meant to say near FH (still long on the table but not wide FH), not short FH. His FH topspins didn't look like a giant weakness for ML to exploit going by the XX video. I missed the first 2 games though.

Promising match for Felix Lebrun keeping the match close against ML. There was a moment where he let out a huge yell of frustration and I would've expected it to be downhill from there. But he collected himself and played better after that moment which indicates that he can reign in his emotions...

Have you tried attaching a weight to the end of the handle? Balance seems more important than actual weight when it comes to weight perception (especially if we're talking about just a few grams here either way).

After seeing how infuriated Lind was with his racket during the entirety of his match against Calderano, I'm guessing another lucky fan will be winning an Anders Lind racket very soon.
