The other part is that is sometimes not said out loud - whatever you think of his attitude, who is a bad player for losing to Truls Moregardh and Lin Yun Ju? So other players are better because they do it with a smile on their face? It's a turn off for sure, but again nothing to lose sleep...

Who knows the solution?? Maybe zeio is right and there is no solution. But is accepting there is no solution the way you build top talent in any country? Especially at the age of 18? By the way, LYJ beat Dima just as well. We might be giving too much credit to Sora's attitude and too little...

You mean the same mod that pointed out your reticence to discuss Sora's beating of your favorite Uda? No one has said that Sora doesn't have issues. You are the person who the mod gave an earful because you treat these issues in an 18 year old as something to write him off for, not as...

Yes but not in the same way or to the same degree. The Asians do it better than the Europeans and LYJ is notorious even amongst the Asians for high level deception, serve length and serve placement. Watch his match against Darko at the 2021 Olympics, it is pretty ugly to watch.

That was already guaranteed after Kuai Man beat Nagasaki if you really cared about that.

Coming soon... Butterfly LYJ Super ALC. Thanks, Chen for giving us good matches befoee LYJ made his opponents look like tourists....

He isn't making smart choices. People won't give you the ball to tee off on all the time.

Looks like Dima was playing well lol...

Its really funny that no one has explained to Fraser Riley yet how the selection for WTTC singles was done by Japan men for 2025.

What does Lin Yun Jun have on backhand lol?

I didn't wish Chen won quickly today... see our reward...

Chen Xingtong is definitely a kind of Liang Jingkun lol...

Good point but sora has made progress the last 3 months. But I guess the first time is always the hardest.

Okay. Let me know when you have something that shows that the people playing for Japan didn't merit their positions by and not some inside baseball that Tieba experts read tea leaves to understand. Miwa Harimoto is the top Japanese player and the Miyu2 had the same opportunities to win that...

Good match. Very little separated the players. Goku won though. We still haven't seen Felix vs Sora on WTT if memory serves me right. That might be the one regret for me from this result though I am assuming Sora will beat Lin.

Both Felix and Harimoto are going to a new level... shades of Dragonball Z....

Literally their last match. Your memory is not wrong in general.but that is why their last match was so memorable.

Harimoto is falling into the same.trap as Nagasaki now, not realizing that his quality is going to get borrowed by the opponent and going off balance is not the way. Needs to sequence multiple shots.

You make it sound like chances are given not earned.

It's not just ranking, the problem with Miyu is over-rleliance on quality and not enough thought on frustrating the opponent. You shouldn't have to go down 0-3 to realize that your opponent is dialed into your every move ans you need new ball qualities and placements to compete. Just hitting...
