BTW, Louis Levene has a good channel on youtube where he sometimes takes a match from a lower rated player and discusses both technical and tactical problems from the perspective of a 2300 player and coach looking at their games: Maybe this is what you want, BRS...

Yeah but what you like about it is a bit deceptive because of the difference in playing level. When the players are of close or equal playing level or the "worse" player is winning, what he is speaking about is much more instructive because then you can be fairly sure that tactics and not...

A lot of us are not that anonymous and have posted lots of video of our play on youtube at one point or another. We probably just do it as much because priorities change. But yes, a 2100 player (not even 2300 where these players tend to easily sit) who trained for junior national team in his...

Haha, you are a good player, I just try my best and hope you have a bad day. You don't need any tips to make me suffer lol.

How so? Bay Area have a potent 1-2 in Kim and Ma and Lily. as the Lady. With Eric and Tao as the other singles. They may not win, but they are not chopped liver, especially at the top. Why will Texas not have Amy?

I think what he means is something more like this: Serve (first bounce and fast speed): serve will be long, get ready to loop and return. Serve(first bounce and slower speed): short or half long, prepare for short Serve (second bounce): likely to be half long, adjust and loop. Or likely to be...

Or that the issues the opponent is having with the return might be a function of the quality of the serve and the quality of the expected third ball given the difference in level between him and the opponent. I can get the same exact serve (ball quality wise) from a 2600 player and 1300...

Maybe, but i don't think it is for you to determine that. When people make claims that bring about credibility issues, it is important for forum members to speak up so that these kinds of incredible claims are not used to deceive people. I didn't want to speak about it, but i am unhappy with...

From the looks of the latest Pong Space video, she is expecting a child which explains your puzzle.

Anything that doesn't give you flexibility is a disadvantage. Dima for example is not a great doubles player but he is a decently good doubles player. Same with Koki Niwa. My point is not that you shouldn't try to have a good doubles pairing, My point is that you want the three strongest...

Yeah, but this tournament is not going to impact his legacy in any meaningful way in the GOAT conversation and he can adapt for this tournament without the result impacting his legacy. Not sure he is playing singles either, but this is the biggest tournament in China, probably a bigger deal...

20 years is a long time, unless you know a lot of things, you have no insight into what the guy has done to keep, lose or improve his level or why/whether he even stopped playing and whether he still plays frequently. Many professional players who stop training entirely end up magically...

Everyone is free to have their own opinions, sometimes criticism like the one Tony is making helps people who are not able to evaluate the video themselves understand some of the limitations of the content/marketing claims.

Maybe I was Nostradamus, I said Hawkeye for serves would be introduced into table tennis after Ma Long retired lol.

Wonder who knocked out the Ionescus... Chirita looks like the future of Romania...

This is my last word on the subject. You need strong players. Doubled, singles, a win is a win. If Coton or Poret overtake Gauzy in 1 or 2 years, it wil not be doubles that keeps them out. Gauzy us very strong but I think the youth are inspired. We will see.

Then how did the other teams win? A point Is just a point. If you win you win. Obviously it is good to take the lead but it is more important to win the match.

Pauline wins. Great comeback after a poor start. So important to hang in there in all things sometimes.

That is because his teammates are not better than the opponents. If Coton or Poret develops into a top 10 player, it won't matter. Germany has won European Games after losing doubles and China has won as well (can't remember the event right now but it might have been against Korea or Germany...

He did it!
