I know you are biased. Hence my Nigerian example. But the thing is that I have never looked at Zeljko and gone wow, his physical gifts are amazing. Lots of good young players who didn't meet outsized expectations out there. Franziska is notorious in Germany for example and some look at him...

Wow.... they have told WCQ to sweep the leg... when Cobra Kai tells you to sweep the leg, you know you are in for it. Will Karate Kid (TH) survive the instruction?

The umpires woke up 24 hours too late. Or Gauzy might be playing the final now lol... more seriously though, they need to get Alexis to fix these serves before a TTR tournament gets him faulted serially. Even Truls tries - this is ridiculous.

Okay. Since I might be blind and biased, give me your best Zeljko match that shows off his physical gifts.

My point exactly.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Yeah, we have people all over Nigeria who never realized their full potential I am talking about top players here.

Interesting how the circle of TT works in this Asian Cup: Wong beats Harimoto. Harimoto beats Togami. Togami beats Chang. Chang beats Wong. Which of theses players is the glitch in the TT matrix?

And Alexis finds his special place as well. Probably still.the best physical talent in Europe. Hoping he can clean up those serves a little and figure it all out.

Tough match for Miwa. But this was obviously a good event for her.

Looks like it is still a special place for Darko (Tibhar). Can't pick either of the Levruns on that basis. But Alexis tends to love this event and is the defending champ. But that logic didn't work last year at the French Champs lol...

Understood. You also advanced the argument that 30 degrees is not found in the ITTF handbook as if that is consistent with all the TTR that has gone on over the past few years. It's not something I can seriously argue with, nor can I argue with your expertise. Your perspective is appreciated.

You can compare it to the serve that was faulted in Miyu Nagasaki vs Sun Yingsha to see whether tossing across half the table at head height allows for such tosses.

Okay. You are entitled to your opinions.

"Dubious angle aside".... dubious angle is part of throwing the ball into the rwcket and getting more spin. Everyone is free to determine what advantage that gives but the aerve is illegal, TTR would have faulted it no questions asked.

Bernie only served one type of serve throughout the match as well (use pendulum for two points in a lost game, but used tomhawk exclusively otherwise). Someone has to win and someone has to lose, it isn't about having one serve.

The long serve at 2-2, 9-9 had a blatantly illegal toss.

How did Alexis win that 2-2, 1-1 point????

How can the umpires let Alexis get away with all these blatantly bad tosses?

You linked to yourself to claim I said something that just about everyone here knows I would never say. It's okay, just pointing it out. In any case, you do you.
