Harimoto beat a problem opponent fairly easily. Good sign for him.

Watching Nagasaki pound Diaz makes me want to get the Harimoto SALC. Amazing display.

The sequence here is hilarious. Jorgic gets warned for a low toss and gets faulted on the serve after the low toss. And then after that, I fail to see the improvement in height, he could very well have been faulted again but I think the umpire gave up - still have to see whether it comes up...

Bertelsmeier is box office, just as athletic and entertaining as Zhou Qihao in that dimension.

Hina Hayata loses to another Chinese player - and from 2-0 up too - she has been surpassed by Kihara and Nagasaki for sure...

Quiet Harimoto is an interesting development. Hopefully, it will become more of a habit. I think Xu Yingbin took the wrong strategy and surprisingly made it work for half a set. But at a certain point, you can't maintain consistent firepower over your playing level against Harimoto blocks if...

If Harimoto and Togami play each other, it will be well deserved - their draws are filled with landmines lol.

Dignics 05 is not as fast/bouncy as one might think and the touch demands are not as high as Tenergy 05. In fact the whole Dignics series is very ball holding, maybe not on the tacky level, but definitely moreso than Tenergy. There is a reason why it is popular on the forehand with these top...

It is good Kanak did well in India, the few times he was forced in Germany, nothing special happened. And of course, we have his mixed doubles in Houston with Wang Manyu as well as another data point. Nikhil Kumar has family business interests that interfere with his TT play, I don't know...

Sid is willing to play off balance strokes without recovery which is a fundamental requirement for strong doubles play in between shots since your partner is there to give you more time to recover. Neither Kanak nor Lily practice this (their strokes are all contained and singles oriented - even...

They both suck at doubles so....

They are lepers but 3 years is still a long time. They just need to play and see what happens. They should take matters into their own hands though I suspect Hashimoto playing the Japanese league is not helping matters. But they still have time if they really believe they can do it. The other...

Looking at yhe insane results all over this qualifying draw I feel better about my recent struggles lol.

In these smaller draws it is becoming somewhat inevitable without separation by association.

It was really interesting listening to Isaac Quek. His position was that to beat top players now, you have to focus on improving yout rally skills. I think on some level i have accepted and resisted thus at the same time. I need to move away from resistance.

I sometimes wonder whether Yuan Licen is really a CNT member or whether he trains in the proverbial Liu Guoliang basement....

This is an incredible match in the level of cat and mouse. Hugo's commitment to the first strike is absolute. Congrats.

That's why I want yo see him play Felix and Truls. To see whether he has truly improved or whether he will be exploited with variations of the same old play. Those guys are wily coyotes. He did struggle against Alexis but Alexis is not a true believer in holding the table or hitting the...

I don't think they are worlds better as much as that he is committed to attacking hard behind them and holding the table a bit longer. He still gets too comfortable extending the rally against some players to his detriment.

Trying another equipment switch will see how it goes. I tried the Viscaria SALC when I got it with D80, D05 and D09c and settled on D05 because D80 didn't "spin" as as much as I wanted at that time. But was that really true? Time to find out as I use the SALC with D80 for a bit and see how it...
