    It was definitely in China or East Asia if my memory s credible. The alternative is that I dreamed up the whole thing. But there were measurements of ball speeds and things like that.

    Liang knows how to play Timo and has experience doing it, so I agree with you. Timo's run is amazing though, it's been crazy what he has been able to achieve.

    Those latter players don't beat him because of forehand quality, they are just faster and better players, but I think Truls is working on his backhand quite a bit so it would have been worth it to see him play them and see where he is in the process

    That's one interpretation. Let's just say that in my experience, the toss rule is one of the most misinterpreted rules out there and the way it is encouraged to be interpreted has been shown to be wrong on camera as a standard. Ad the same event that they introduced Hawkeye and Hawkeye...

    Not sure i can agree. He did pretty well in Super league and is known for ability to gain advantages in touch play. He has beaten Liamg Jingkun betore. His game has its issues, but it is not fair IMO to argue that a player that is clearly working hard on expanding his game is stagnating when...

    The problem is the quality of the serve and the player using it, I have to give WCQ his due on that one. WCQ has a strong forehand so the problem is that the third ball is at a level where you are helpless, generic returns are not going to cut it, while they very well might against someone like...

    Nah, at the grand slams, referee evaluation, especially for referees relatively new to that level, is at its highest. But the problem is that since these things are never made public, no one is held accountable and it is obvious as others have pointed out that between keeping players somewhat...

    It's not quite as dire as it looks, nothing wrong with being wiped out by good players and matchup nightmares. And on the women's side, a lot of it was unfortunate friendly fire.

    The umpires didn't call them until Boll made it obvious they were. If the umpires hadn't agreed with Boll, then what would have happened? Boll would have missed random serves, lost the match and we would be having a different conversation.

    So what is this list of players he has lost to with a higher level of FH attack? Curious.

    Is it a CNT player thing or a Wang Chuqin thing?

    But if the umpires hadn't stepped in, the result could have been entirely different.
  13. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Partly because he has taken it to a level where the quality of the serve is almost impossible to read from the bounce and the third ball is so strong if you go long that it doesn't matter if you keep the ball onnthe table. Against his quality of third ball, the ability to read the ball and give...

    Hahaha. Against all those guys it is still a shootout.
  15. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Completely disagree, I have seen enough technical improvements from Truls that he would give WCQ trouble in a fair fight. He is now playing good backhand topspin for example but it makes little difference if you are unable to see the serve of a player with killer forehand.
  16. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    If they don't do something about serves, there is absolutely no one other than Fan Zhendong and maybe Lin Yun Ju that has a chance against WCQ. This is ridiculous.
  17. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    I watched the match and maybe I might have s different opinion watching the replays, but he got burned a lot when he switched to the forehand. I felt his real problem was that at a certain point, he just got into trouble with the level of spin/speed in the rallies no matter where he put the...

    His forehand isn't goo's enough yet for the alternative.
  19. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    It is clear to me that he needs to switch to Hurricane on both sides to reconnect with his destiny and fulfill the original prophecies of the TBH.

    No one knows the future. But people who post here regularly understand the joke I am making.
