Trying to flick half long topspin serves is a mistake, you need to practice judging serve length and be certain those serves are really short and tight (they could be short and still easy to loop). It's more likely they were long and you could loop them with practice. If they are really short...

Not just that but that best of 5 allows you to adapt and learn, it is people who never adjust who never have a chance. Xu handled the serve and receive much better in the last 3 games but he needed to learn it from the first 2 games. I think he was even down in game 3 before getting a run of points

They were cheering for Liang because they felt he was easier for their idol WCQ to beat than Lin Shidong. And it eas very obvious to me.

I still think it was FZD and ML retiring. When is it going to be his time if not now and when the people he used to lose to are gone?

Wang Manyu ‐ warrior mode activated.

I still believe that LJK eas posed with the question by his coach: why not you?

Wow, Liang shows it is possible to still outshine Lin on the backhand. Crazy.

Mo played yesterday and Pauline played a few hours ago. Do better, Panamerican schedulers. This is even worse in thr case of Kanak and Lorenzo.

Cifuentes is really strong. Plays well in French league. A good dark horse pick.

Butler said Ishiy was playing with a rib injury. We will see how much of an impact it has when he faces the solid Cifuentes.

It was his first match and not his hoke club like Kanak, I suspect he would have done better with some cannon fodder in a prior round to get match sharpened with less pressure.

He finally figured out he was winning the rallies and stopped trying to end the point in the first 6 shots.

Don't waste time on equipment for forehand. D09c is good enough for anything you need Hurricane for unless you are really powerful. The real question is whether you are okay with D09c speed on backhand and if so, the answer is training, not equipment. Work harder at producing more variation...

You mean in XD, since LSD is pretty much a lock as well. The question will be whether she plays singles or not and that is pretty open. I am sure SYS and WMY are still ravenous and I suspect CXT and WYD have not entirely yielded either though KM is clearly capable.

Duran is in MLTT by the way. Well past his prime to play in MLTT despite being an 11 tine national champion (Robles has probably stolen his lunch lol). And he loses his fair share of matches too.

@jk1980, While even in the USA, ratings can vary slightly from place to place, most of the players above a certain level travel enough that their ratings are accurate and I would consider that 1700-opponent at that level. People talking about how a player looks often don't see what he does well...

Sometimes I think calling these CNT players robots especially on the women's side is the highest compliment. Chen Xingtong clearly spends too much of her life in bullet time. You are not supposed to rally with Ito smashing at you like that...

Didn't realize it was now best of 7. Uda gets a consolidation game.

This is always level dependent you don't get to a high level at anything the way you start doing it. It becomes better with practice.
