Hayata- Kihara https://tttv.jp/video/13675#gsc.tab=0 Harimoto - Yokoi https://tttv.jp/video/13676#gsc.tab=0

Kaufmann largely stayed away from it for sure and her serve and third ball was effective. They didn't show game 3, so the ending was off camera but it felt like Kaufmann studied what Nagasaki did and has an effective template. How well Sabine plays against lefties is going to be a topic going...

I never found Speedysoft particularly spinny for a shortpip but it has been almost a decade.

Maybe. As a double inverted hard sponge player, I struggle to find the weight of pimpled rubbers with thick sponge significant, I do understand your perspective, but I do think that the extra weight depends on the power of the sponge and it might not be as much as you think. And also, it is...

"Significantly"? Regardless, what a player likes is individual, and that weight, whether significant or not, might make the racket feel better to her. But it is quite possible that it was a different rubber, just not different enough to trouble her opponent but different enough to make her...

You also can't break at the ball and follow through and have exactly the same effect on the ball. That's my main point. A lot depends on what we define as follow through. If you define as follow through things that happen 1 second after you hit the ball, those things are unlikely to be part...

Agreed. Honestly, for me, no spin balls are rhe best part of Zyre. The problem is that you need to get the ball into the sponge. If you are used to just getting grip, it doesnt go as well. But if you press down with a closed angle, miracles happen.

On the men's side it is pretty amazing that all the players seeded came through, especially Tanigaki in flying colors. As unlikely as such a result is, I would be happy for the young man if he wins it all, Japan needs someone who doesn't think playing on the national team is his birthright...

It was interesting that Kaufmann had an easier time playing Winter than playing a chopper.

Hopefully Winter Vs Kaufmann is played on the TV table, there was no Kaufmann-Byun to watch...

I like watching the pros, they all do things I could never imagine doing in 10,000 years. Fan Zhendong is my favorite to watch, a trite answer i know, but at his best he makes pros look like they play at normal speed and he is the only pro and that is saying a lot.

Tough to stomach but he usually doesnt comeback like this so it builds character which he needs if he is competing to play at the next Olympics after being robbed of the opportunity to play at the last one

Franziska can take pride in his professionalism but if i was him I might let the umpire know that he has to do his job watching both players serves. TTR needs to be everywhere.

Bringing your head closer to the ball on serves in critical moments should get you an automatic fault.

Dodgy serves....

Game 77!

I have not fully bought into the argument against the ability to change your intentions based on short contact time. No one really changes it in the way described but what is an empirical observation is that the sixe and nature of the follow through tends to affect the shot being played. A...

There are more issues but that is for another thread.

So Yokoi is the interloper while everyone juat defended their seeding.

She read a lot of Tieba postings on Hayata and believed Hayata was ready to retire....
