    You have to be used to relooping your own spin vs a very good chop blocker possibly with treated pips. It isn’t always trivial.

    Going with the local hero Truls but Duda can take it if he has a masterful serve and serve return clinic.

    Sabine took Wang Yidi to the 5th in a very close match. She destroyed Bernadette Szocs and Natalia Bajor. Against Chen Yi, while Chen Yi won 4-1, many of the games were blown leads that spoke to a very close match. Anyone putting doubts on Sabine's win as you are trying to do has their own...

    Alexis Lebrun is injured and recovering. He still hasnt lost a match to Duda. I argued about Duda in the specific context that I just described but you are now claiming that over the past few months I argued in a different context which you can quote if you can find it. I won't hold my...

    Oh, you really think that Duda who lost to Quadri in April is unbeatable? Maybe you can point out the last time Alexis had a similar loss? And we have not even got to the head to head record between Alexis and Duda. Everyone can have their opinions about a level of player. My opinion is that...

    Like I said, they had a lot to work with from the last match to determine the optimal way for Duda tobplay Hugo. He was always a step ahead in know what to deploy, where to place the ball and what to broadly expect.

    The German analytics team I wonder if they have anything for Hugo. They got a lot of data from the last match.

    She needs to get stronger at playing behind heavy spin and float combinations i think she would have won more games if she served heavy backspin at critical moments

    Bobrow tells the story of a Chinese teammate chopper who learned to use anti so Chen Yi could get practice. Give that some thought when you think of team resources.

    Gauzy is absolutely incredible. Darko is absolutely incredible. Incredible match!

    I guess Ito losing to SYS was so inevitable it went without comment...

    Point taken.

    The latter.

    Technically you are right. Something about it just feels weird but you are technically correct.

    Maybe you stretch them too hard - I don't have that with Butterfly rubbers in any significant way - nothing close to MX-P for sure.

    I find it weird when men (or people I think are men) think simping is cool - seriously.

    Sure Winter can get worse. But you said this "No chance for LA 2028" every time she lost a match. Where is the report on her winning the match with the same statement now she has beaten someone (in fact two people) that the German team young brigade are currently incapable of beating?

    You mean like Han Ying and Xiona Shan tried and failed woefully to convince DTTB bigshots they should be on the team over younger players like Mittleham, Solja etc. Boll failed woefully to get chosen over younger players like Franziska et al? Age is not the limiter, performance is. Let's not...

    The match vs Bernie was really terrifying. I am trying to remember an European player beating Bernie to the point Bernie gave up like that and I am drawing blanks. That's usually reserved for Mima Ito...

    The disparity between forehand and backhand is not common enough for that to happen. Her forehand and footwork is truly super special, and being able to generate against backspin makes it unreal. And her counter is really strong too. All in all, it would be hard for a player without her...
