  1. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Chirita is legit. When I saw him playing Jorgic instead of playing his usual powerslot, it was clear that Filemon wanted to win the match early. If he had let Jorgic beat Ionescu, then Kozul and Tokic would definitely have put up resistance and Jorgic may have had momentum too for the 4th...

    Any discussion of why Ranfeur was fielded over Falck? Was it all about Ranfeur having beaten OI recently?

    Its a miracle. I put the rubber on a Hadraw VK and i can now play with it. It's a miracle! As in play a tournament game with it if pressed. I can see why the defenders love it so much - it makes their slower blades offensive lol. EDIT: this was my post to one of my clubs WhatsApp groups...

    Some of them yes. I pointed out at least one case where a reviewer didn't like the rubber but downplayed his reservations.

    Of course it is within reason - that doesn't mean it would have paid off... after all, Sweden lost to a crap team... or Romania beat a crap team... not sure what narrative it is these days...

    Nah, Ionescu is far ahead of him and Sweden fell to a bad team. The experts have spoken...

    Chirita slices the jugular and Filemon's gambit pays off - now Slovenia will need a miracle to win this. Kozul got a magic wand?

    And who are these hobby reviewers? One of the things I am questioning is whether these reviewers are actually reporting what they experienced or something else is driving all this...

    Filemon going for the jugular putting Chirita in the first match - will it pay off?
  10. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    France didn't qualify for the main round so they don't count lol.
  11. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Romania vs Germany will be the first real match of the event on the women's side and it may not be exciting if Germany is mature. Kaufmann though may not be ready to beat Szocs. And Romania is always ready to fight. Another thing I find interesting is how Diaconu was so promising as a junior...

    Someone willing to wait for the matches to be played before saying who is better and who is worse. @baotran , are you sure you belong on TTD? 😂
  13. African Table Tennis Championships-2025 (12 - 19 October 2025)

    Nigeria lost its first match to a non-Egyptian team in this event in a while, losing to Morroco 3-1. Wouldn't be surprised if thr French Nationals playing for African countries had some contribution but still without Quadri, Nigeria has no serious world class players as the youth are not being...
  14. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Harimoto still hasn't figured out Felix. Matsushima is the wild card. Gauzy is on and peolle are forgetting that Coton will soon be a regular. I don't know why people are in a rush to predict volatile things. I would bet on any result with bated breath and evaluate form as close to the...
  15. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Maybe it is one per calendar year, I would have thought it was one. But in any case, tumbling down the ranking is not his problem, his problem is recapturing the form that won those titles. If the form returns, the ranking will follow.
  16. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Adi Sareen is extremely young and far from a joke, many countries would be happy to have him including the USA if he wasn't an Australian citizen. He is not top 50 now but if he stays with the sport i have no doubt he will be legitimately so at some point. Don't let the pronouncements of Gauzy...
  17. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Only one continental result can count towards the ranking so that is interesting. But European champion isn't a prop, you beat legit players to win it. Just not Asians who are Asian nationals. Ever since his bone headed fracture, he has nothing yet regained form. Whether it is temporary we...
  18. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    France takes it. Germany was clearly dominated.
  19. 2025 European Team Table Tennis Championships (October 12 to 19, 2025)

    Zeio's favorite C word will come into focus now. Why is ir called choking when you lose the lead but not when you loae the game by a wide margin?
