I believe the match is tomorrow.

Khelif is the one that has gotten the press in the USA after the defeat of an Italian lady cop.

Not sure why discussing thr controversial topic of transgender females participating in female sports categories is considered hate. It's a different topic from whether transgender females should have some rights as females.

It's all in good fun and I suspect many will feel the same way. But as my old coach would say, seeding has consequences.

This only beating China matters attitude will be the death of many players. Beating the players in front of you is fine. You will beat China when you start making the investment in beating them that they make in beating you.

Thanks - very insightful. The number of points that Truls won on that pattern was crazy and now it's obvious that the wide angles were from the fact that Hugo keeps thinking his quality will get him a long ball but struggles with the angles Truls was able to create consistently.

Hugo struggles to keep the ball short and therefore takes openers often on the opponent's terms. What has been behind a lot of his recent improvement is being able to keep the ball shorter better so he gets better opening opportunities, but people who know how to control length and placement...

It was a dip in results but if you looked at his game, it was all there, just subtle things. Implementing new things in his game. It came together at the right time. He deserves this, he replaced WCQ and deserves the medal.

It won't work against FZD. Hugo is a special case of exactly the kind of player who that style shouldn't work against but it does because he learned TT late so he doesn't have a natural feeling for spin. It is crazy that Hugo essentially uses one serve with varying spins and placements in his...

Anyone in the final would lose to Fan. But Hugo's play today shows exactly why he would have lost to fan. It is crazy how your weaknesses return at the worst possible time.

Felix is 17. He just has to get physically stronger.

You must have your Lebruns mixed up.

So yesterday I was reflecting on who I thought would win between Truls and Calderano. In the last two Olympics, the player who has beaten Calderano has won the bronze. I hope that pattern doesn't repeat. But for it to repeat, Hugo would have to lose to Truls lol....

Whoever anointed Felix was probably someone with an agenda. Felix has not beaten a CNT top player beyond Lin Shidong. Alexis plays the CNT better. For this reason, I didn't expect today to be competitive. What Harimoto did yesterday was truly special and will drive speculation about what he...

Well, he will have to do his best job at confusing Hugo. He tends to play Hugo well, it will be interesting to see whether this new Hugo makes a difference. But he has better beat Hugo. He is not beating anyone he will face in the bronze medal match unless they are injured.

The idea that Japan would not be happy with a bronze medal in the face of Chinese dominance and given that only one other Japanese woman has ever done it is plainly ridiculous.

Omar has beaten Truls the past couple of times they have played internationally so he wasn't going to let Truls just win. But I think Truls at this event has what it takes. But I have a picture with Omar, one of the few pictures with a TT celebrity I have taken. Would be nice to see it go up...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not beating Sun Yingsha playing like a Goddess. You just play your best game and whatever happens happens. Miu Hirano didnt even beat Shin Yubin despite having match points. So that is now the "dumb" Hayata's fault?

Truls trying to extend the moratorium on criticizing his level.

It's hard to adjust to such changes in momentum. I mean think about times you were up 3-1, 9-9. Usually, you feel you will win regardless. It is the change in flow that upsets you. I like what Wang Manyu once said, you don't control how you feel in those moments. Control is a reaction, not...
