    I think the seamless ball helps a bit too - it has always bounced a little higher in my experience and helps spin players a tad bit (even if they are power players as well).

    LYJ needs to win this game to qualify. So does Dima.

    LYJ is no longer the silent assassin. He is the Puppet Master.

    Lily has made some progress against defence and that is encouraging. But she has to get better still.

    I love the way they like to pretend that they never knew they were cheating.

    Yeah - I guess with 6 points to 5 he will go through on game points regardless. They should really fix that so that the individual matchup always trumps but I guess we will take it as is.

    So far, Hayata surviving a dangerous opponent.

    Interesting comments from Harimoto - maybe with a different scoring format, the comebacks in game 2 and game 3 may not have happened.

    She is young and has played and trained TT as a full time student all her life. The pro life is her dream and she is living it right now, not in rush to grow up and go crazy after playing a good match.

    The back up books also specify things like visibility throughout the toss and height and angles and vertical extension of net posts etc. I know you like Odo, but this ball hiding needs to stop. Maybe they can get back to just visibility at contact because of TTR but the reality is that the...

    Diaz has a nasty backhand serve - she is so used to illegal tosses on her forehand serves she has to serve backhand to remain legal and serve aggressively.

    Took them long enough but they got it right. All these ball hiding servers need to be cast out into open like roaches and rats under flashlights.

    These reviews are crazy, Diaz is clearly hiding the ball with her head, and they are reviewing the toss height - seriously?

    The rule as written argues for visibility regardless of angle. But players have pushed back against this forever and you obviously support them. I don't.

    She hides her serve, that's not even controversial. Any camera angle will show that.

    Haha - Han Ying getting the service faults on Odo lol...

    I was about to say that Shinozuka has clearly surpassed Uda - then the end of game 2 happened... so I might have to wait to be sure of it...

    The rules were originally written in the context of 3 or 4 person groups when you could have 2 wins and 1 loss or 1 win and 2 losses and tie with other people. The first tie breaker is head to head results determined by match (well those are usually tied when 3 players have 1 win and 2 losses...

    Han Ying: I have beaten members of the male national German team in practice. Odo: I practiced vs Hashimoto - you are slow to me.
