Table tennis is not a beauty contest.

I would give up if my opponent was using AI...

Truls is using AI to play some points. That should not be allowed....

Juat like the Winter vs Doo match, this result proves everyone right. Surprisingly happy for Wang, the loss would have cost her a bit while Winter was clearly already living the dream.

We can agree to disagree. Psychological issue explanations have limitations relative to underlying technical issues. I know what I mean when I say his style of play is too cerebral and he needs to focus more on taking initiative than restricting opponents and playing probabilities.

You think she will struggle with the Japanese and won't have as good a draw on Frankfurt?

It was required but I agree ir was late.

Even with Harimotoz there are playing style and technical issues that need work. These are more important factors in his struggle than the usual stories about mental strength.

I was in Houston 2021 live when he won two close matches, one against Franziska when Franziska mounted a comeback, and one against Lim Junghoon, when Lim Junghoon completely outplayed him yo go up 3-0 and them Moregardh started playing loose using a variety of flat shots and insane blocks to...

He is young. Such things can still be developed with the right experiences

I see how it can be questioned because In fact, I am dealing with that very experience right now with @zeio hence my investigation... I think you are polite in calling it an edge even if it is a moment in time...

I like that the way you write about it, you have made peace with it. Must have been tough at the time

Well, where she has an advantage with the anti is that she is from a serious TT country that has a player/manufacturer with a history with designing anti that i am sure he will design to maximize her strengths. I suspect it won't be commercially available either, they will just use her image to...

You are right that players will plan better for her. But I think she also has some adaptation left, I don't think today's result would have been possible without yesterday's struggles against Doo. Moreover, her serve and forehand are strong enough that it will take a certain level of player to...

On a serious note, the absence of TTR at this event to review serves has Sora, Truls and Alexis as the biggest beneficiaries just not sure in what order at the moment. .

I dont know about that. He hasnt been pressured in any matches at this event and according to some of the experts, he has no improvements to his attitude or mentality and is ready to fold once he is under pressure.

It is interesting that the Chinese are not filling up the stadium like other events. Is it because it is only Wang Yidi still left? Or are there too many Lebrun fans filling the seats?

So in this event @zeio, Sabine has added two wins against Asian ladies to her tally. Should we blame the crowd or Tibhar tables? Still reluctant to say she is the German #1 right now even if age might prevent her from getting to LA in 3 years?

Don't argue with the Tiebans, they believe things on the basis of whatever they decide makes sense. You can't survive in modern TT if you don't play the rally. For the record, the person who this idea is attributed to, Harimoto, lost to Truls the next time they played and in that match, he...

It wasn't just his attitude, you forget all the times you said he had no future and compared him to Sun Yang in having trouble with his teammates. Or this is all my imagination?
