    If anyone wants to watch the craziest and highest level competitive Teams match of this decade and possibly this century, the link is here:

    The time out recovery didn't fully kick in for a long time so I don't know about that. The time out definitely helped Liang stabilize but his comeback powers were the MVP, coming back from either 6-10 or 7-10 was just insane. Once he saved the second game, it made the rest easier even if he...

    IMHO, its clear when you look at the scores that the last two games were more about something Liang figured out than about what Sora did wrong. Room for growth if fixable. As one of my favorite tennis coaches once said, people like to turn technical problems into mental problems. But when...

    I was too busy going to a job interview to be upset but I clearly was lol.

    The most exciting I have ever watched and I am most disappointed because I really thought Sora was going to do it before the end of game 2. Then Liang "Hydra" Jingkun grew a new head and it just became a slog....

    You are probably a young guy who has not been burdened with life, or just a lucky person. People who have know that it is precisely moments like this where even your best efforts let you down and you have to work harder. But there is no resting spot at the top of a heavenly mountain, you will...

    He had his first 0-2 comeback recently. He also had the last round against Cho where he had to fight off a comeback. He is clearly a bit too negative when he is struggling and writes of his day and body language. But getting someone to develop mental fortitude takes time and the right...

    What i am looking for is how the ABC team lost after all the marvelous advantages of ABC and Liang sitting cold for three matches.

    My main point is that he (Liang) worked on his issues. You are acting like Sora has not worked on his issues. Some never do but when you are young you are always given the benefit of doubt. What happened to all the people who said Liang was too fat to ever get into good enough shape to be a...

    It has always been a cause for concern. But in today's match, his natural body's language issue was completely understandable and his regression completely justifiable given how he felt about games 2 and 4. Its like saying you have an alcoholic whose wife just died and he relapses after 2...

    Let me get this straight. A guy with a record of struggling to play touhh matches beats the World's best player in a tough match and then loses a tough match after blowing 4 game points to get a 2-0 lead in the second and he is 18 years old and the narrative you want to pull is that he has...

    My point is that many such players manage these things as they get better. It is okay to not like the attitude but what I dont get is people writing him off for it. People don't beat Wang Chuqin regardless of attitude.

    Nah. He eas more like "I am too big amd slow to win". Again, treating youth as mature adults is bad form. The kid lost a 10-6 lead, that stuff bites you when you are young and usually win with ease

    When he was Sora's age he was losing to Jang Woojin in juniors. Food for thought.

    It isnt bull. Hopefully you will read up on talents like Sora who had issues. Federer was not that different with his anger management.

    He was rumored to be injured. Did you see him against Noshad and Harimoto?wasn't it obvious his fiom was back?

    Whoever wins this, Hong Kong is so screwed....
  18. ITTF-ATTU Asian Teams Championships 2025, Bhubaneswar, 10/11-15

    Yes. But it wasn't really a choice. Liang has a better record than Lin vs Harimoto. Just came out of the order. Players have to perform.

    Harimoto did well but this was inevitable... Sora.... this is all on you...
