She is already in the top 20. There is room for her to go where her results can take her. She could viably get 500 pts at the next European Singles Champs or Euro top 16 right? And even without winning Champions, she can still do reasonably well in Contenders as long as she isn't injured...

I know you are trying to be funny, but this is not true at all, Puerto Rico has only one player in the top 20, if they had 3, they would be Olympics medal title contenders. For most events, it is not about having one player, it is about having multiple players.

Stop trying to mix up the context. What would winning a title have done that getting the finals hadn't already? You keep moving the goalposts rather than answering the question. She played in the #1 slot throughout the Teams event. She is the highest ranked woman in Europe. So please...

I think he is using the results with 20-20 hindsight. Anyone claiming that Sabine would be a top 20 player after switching to anti is joking. Even Doo Hoi Kem for this event looked like Doo, so I leave it to all the "she ain't who she used to be" to say the obvious while ignoring that her...

Far exceeded for me without a doubt though you could see hints of it in previous matches (which of course, some would just use the results to ignore the underlying dynamics). I would never have expected a player with material on one side to beat Shin Yubin after using it for less than a year...

Long term viability against whom? What quality of player is going to exploit her limitations? In the Doo match, did you see enough of a switch in attack dimensions/placements to convince you she can add a few?

It seems that if Adam Bobrow is to be believed, it is just Truls finding motivation to compete hard. And I suspect it is an outcome of Dima mentoring, Dima is also into such antics against compatriots lol.

It's like he has his eyes set on something and this was just one practice ground on the road to it. Truly a dominating performance and it puts Qiu Dang's level and match in perspective.

Don't worry about it, I have already blocked you, go troll someone else please lol.

IT's tremendous. Will probably open up more avenues for player development in Germany.

Everything is level relative in table tennis. You can share your video of your blocks with anti-spin and inverted to make your point.

Well the good news for both of them is that winning one match clears the decks until the quarters. They will face good players don't get me wrong, but they have good records against such players.

It's not true that they( top players or players like Bernie) have never trained against it, a lot comes down to the level of consistency of the anti=spin user and the ability of the user to handle heavy topspin with it, neither of which are trivial and require a lot of practice against high...

Curious, what did she need to prove to DTTB bigshots? I love the way you make up narratives that are completely unsupported by anything other than delusional Tieba users.

NI = Natural Intelligence? AI also stands for Actual Intelligence but in this case, I was too impressed by hitting the corners and the lines and even the upward edges at all the right times. Thats why they say he cant rally because he puts the ball where they don't like it and rather than...

Putting every mistake down to mentality is a narrative choice. Usually Sora gets playes to push or return a lot of serves itno his preferred Bomba spots. Truls did not accommodate him, that was the biggest thing.

@Metaxa spoke about training seriously into his late 20s with a similar problem. Truls may have a short career but he will play at least through his 20s, there is no need to bury him early. Modern medicine also usually manages things much better

Isaac Quek said that in current TT, you will be forced to beat top players in rally. First strike table tennis is important but Truls won many shots with impeccable placement assisted by AI. Gracious losing is a PR thing, had nothing to do with attitude.

Winning ugly is a thing... when Truls did it and beat Lim in Houston, initially people thought he had given up and the ball kept landing on the table. His problem is not his body language, his problem is that he doesn't won. Whether his body language explains that will be told over time.
