    When she realized that there is no point using inferior equipment if you want to stay at the top. Only two brands consistently win titles. The rest are at best handle changes of the real brands.

    Truls is also a bit injured but he still has one of the best and most underestimated forehands in the world. Movement and anticipation are amongst the very best as well. Let's see how it goes.

    They prepped her after the last match obviously. If you can attack someone's strength, it is the best way to make them fall apart

    All she needs is one. Tieba users are going to use Wand Yidu for excuses.

    Now we have switched topics from winning medals to MVP of a league rather than admitting that thd argument made usng Harimoto's mother was based entirely on the premise I laid out and that you were wrong? You just argue without any basis in honor just to get the last word. I will give it to...

    Tizeio users are confused. Some may forget that the main reason why people felt Kallberg could beat Harimoto even in the Olympics was because of his record against Harimoto in many places mostly inconsequential league matches. Nothing predicts anything perfectly, and what did people expect...

    No doubt but the main point is that arguing so strongly and snidely against the fact that practicing with someone else for two weeks gives you information about how they play is a bit much.

    You seem confused. At the Olympics, Mizutani has a silver in MT (2016) and a brionze in MT(with Harimoto) in 2021. He also has a bronze in Olympics singles in 2016. So when he criticizes Japanese men for not doing well, he is obviously doing better than Harimoto at the Okympics in singles so...

    Which is more likely to you, An JaeHyun improved enough in the last few months to play Felix better or the knowledge gained from practicing with Felix enabled the Koreans to figure out what makes his game tick and how to play him better, leading to closer matches with both Oh and An? By the...

    Has Mima Ito changed her backhand pips? It seems like she has something a bit more disruptive and can slow down the ball significantly on some blocks...
  14. How to beat someone when I’m not playing my best?

    When you aren't playing well, it is usually for an attacking player that your attacking plays are not working. The focus should shift to disruptive play - trying to do things that bait the opponent into making mistakes, like making them move large distances with short and long pushes/serves or...

    I'm skeptical, he has never beaten Hugo before. He might have done Hugo a favor by eliminating Felix.

    Does Mizutani have a WTTC medal? Yet you argue he is entitled to tell someone else what it takes to win one and that it was the least they could do? If he was criticizing Hayata for a bronze in Olympics singles, that is a bit different, but he didn't do better than that.

    Absolutely nothing. As is his prerogative, in the immortal words of Magic Johnson when Anthony Edwards said NBA players before Jordan didn't know how to play basketball with skill, "when he wins a ring, I can respond to him." Because he sure won't have that opinion when he does.

    Opinions are like but-oles, everyone has at least one. We are all allowed to rationalize away anything we refuse to accept. Homecourt advantage is part of the game, they invest more money in you and your training to win medals when an Olympics is in your country. Felix won his medal, losing...

    Sarcasm is not for everyone.

    Saying stupid things to deprecate achievements you never had is not teaching, it is the privilege of anyone who has never won anything. I don't interpret their comments as you do, but one should appreciate the limitations of speaking authoritatively on what one has never done.
