Magically, Chen Meng will be replaced by Wang Manyu in singles. This I think will still happen somehow.

You pointed out her shakiness, she is known for being an athlete, not a tactician, so don't blame Ma Lin entirely for that one

Yeah, I think some policies might get revisited especially if they don't win.

WYD is not as shaky as advertised. Hirano still has a lot of work to do

Guess, maybe not, espwcially the scoreline, but Gauzy was legitimate France #1 before the Lebruns showed up and the depression and work he has done on his game is harder to see since he doesn't get top billing anymore. But some may remember he beat the whole CNT B team last year to win a...

That is assuming we get there and Felix beats Wang. The natural order is: Alexis vs Fan Felix vs Wang Gauzy vs Ma Felix vs Fan Alexis vs Wang The match really rests on Felix vs Wang. That to me is the most important match tomorrow.

Ma Long can still beat Gauzy, give me a break.

The thing with China is that they always have something for you. The crowd tomorrow will be Chinese since Korea is out. I think WCQ will be overprepared for Felix. It will be interesting to see the result.

Hindsight is 50‐50 but I was confused by the comments about how good Lin was playing as if Felix wasn't playing lights out as well (with no losses compared to Lin).

Is Gauzy the perfect #3 player for.a team? Inquiring minds want to know...

For the Seoul Olympics, Korea situated many of the top players from opposing countries stay far away from the TT Hall. Also had some humid conditions for playing. Completely accidental that they won gold and silver in men's singles at that event. Yes, completely accidental.

When you list the player who has done that in this century vs the men's CNT, let me know. No one is saying something as stupid as that one can't beat the CNT in a single match or play well against one player. Lim Junghoon beat Wang Chuqin in the Asian Cup afew years ago. Noshad Alamiyan beat...

Since everyone else has pointed out how you are making up stuff no one said, no need for me go pile on. If Jang beats both Wang and Fan, your comment will make sense.

Harimoto: Wang Chuqin is hard to beat! Jang: Hold my beer...

It is at 10pm CT/11pm ET. Since you are in Canada it should be on YouTube. If in USA, either VPN or espn3.com.

The picture is not quite as dire as you paint out. The thing is that he already has a 50-50 chance of not being seeded into a Chinese quarter though of course with his luck he will be seeded into one (and in the past, he flunked out when he wasn't anyways). He only guarantees not being in one...

I like your conceptual game, I think OFF- blade *AND* hybrid rubbers is a bit much (slow) for someone as young as you, I would prefer solid OFF blade with Hybrid, or OFF- blade with fast, spinny rubbers. For the backhand stroke itself, the first thing that enabled me to swing better was to use...

IMHO, that is a lefty vs righty deficit helping WCQ, but again, let's see how it goes. When you play close to the table against power and movement, you will always look slower.

It depends. I think top table tennis is a mental game and I am not sure Lin Yun Ju has a better read of the game than Harimoto. Yes his technical foundation is better in most/many ways, but even then, it isn't entirely clear that this is as important as being able to read the game better. And...

I guess that is the biggest reason why I root for him - he is clearly working insanely hard on making himself better after all this years, no one knows whether it is too late (to be honest Metaxa may be right), but if it is too late for him, it is clearly too late for me lol. And I don't mean...
