He played a much higher ranked player and was the underdog. He is 5 years younger than his opponent. Isn't he expected to play worse given where he is in his personal development? Why are we looking for special explanations to explain mistakes that just about any player could make in similar...

What is delusional about pointing out that the opponent has a right to hit the ball too and that if a player went on a streak of sorts to get to 10-5, the other player has a right to go on a streak to 10-10? It's pretty ridiculous to make streaks about some silly pseudosciencr especially when...

So the coach that got him there is not a top coach? He got to be the top junior in Europe and France just by working with not-so-top coaches? Seriously?

Go find the wise words of LGL and then apply them to this point which is the ultimate choking point of all time: Or just let it go and realize the point shows how ridiculous this is, give Xiang some credit please!

Uda beating LSD in China in a best of 7.... I don't know about that...

Wang Chuqin lost 18 straight points to Zhou Qihao. What is his pattern? ZJK was up 3-3, 10-4 vs Yan An and lost 8 straight points. What was the pattern? Whatever you may say about LGY, all the people he "choked" against were usually better players than he was. It is easy to call losing big...

In my experience, the readiness of the other player often feeds the impression of the umpire in the absence of objective measures like clocks.

Yeah, that's why everyone is doing it. More seriously, Togami's speed and power is not normal even amongst top players, it is elite. If you doubt this, speak to professionals about his game. Alamiyan who doesn't complain about playing Wang Chuqin or Liang Jingkun was annoyed at how high risk...

The list of players Lin had notable "chokes" against that I remember: Timo Boll, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Harimoto and maybe Mizutani (and some other near misses against Mizutani, Dima etc). Which of those players was clearly worse than he was? Anyone who thinks lost leads is by definition choking...

Let's be clear here, using stalling tactics is not a "Chinese" thing. I am now 95% sure you are PoppaChubby/OldUser with a new handle, but in any case if I am wrong, you do you. On an international forum though, it is not the place to air all your prejudices about a player's behavior...

I hate to say this but... those gaddem pips!

Forget the age, the statement could never be made by someone who plays competitively and watched the match. To claim the kid choked after watching those points is ridiculous but I guess someone always says something brilliant on the internet.

You could see the seeds of it in how Wang played against Akula.

Sreeja result not a good omen for Hashimoto. But it will be a good dight.

Stop writing stuff that shouldn't be seen on a global forum. You don't need to bring all your prejudices to a forum for us to consume. If you can't state or discuss such without denigrating other people who may or may not agree with you, just don't post. You don't have to make a player's...

4-0 to 4-11. Insane.

Clandestine Civil Wars take out two Chinese ladies lol.. on to my most eagerly anticipated match of the day... Coton cs Peng...

You really need to stop this nonsense.

Broken record moment: watching An play Thakkar of India, I was so impressed by his backhand play. If he can continue to play at that level on backhand, Wang isn't safe. The problem though is the Wang serve... they really need TTR to monitor contact over the table... a lot of pros are...

Even Uda is upgrading his backhand play as well. No one is messing around anymore. The Koreans are playing more like Japan, Japan also needs to play more like Korea lol. Watching the match again, it was clear that Truls was surprised by the differencenin playing level from the last time hr...
