13-11 in the 5th in front of your home crowd to clinch the match - that must be exhilarating after the fact!

Hungary (before Sweden) was the China of Europe lol! OK, I know that statement is dubious but I hope you get the spirit of it... :ROFLMAO:

Looks from the match scores that Sweden is in a fight with Hungary - wondering who lost for Sweden...

The stereotypes have largely evaporated at the world class level, but they still exist in the paradigms of the fans and the analysts.

Someone posted this on mytt, I think some of you might enjoy it.

IMHO, it is as much about Truls as it is about the ref. Truls serves so cleanly that the umpire feels the need to level the playing field. Not that Truls needed the help, he sees the ball well.

This is especially true because of the spin aspect and many people hate/do not appreciate this.

What did you think of the result vs Hungary? Did it change your mind about anything?

Maybe we should make all these championships one thread in the future lol. Hugo won the men's title over Nicolas Burgos (of Chile, I believe) and Amy Wang of the USA won to best of 7s by the minimum two points over Adriana Diaz and Bruna Takahashi to take the women's title. Here is the youtube...

Quadri vs Omar live in the Team Event, Nigeria down 1-2 to Egypt in the match scores.

Those are my thoughts as well, but it is a reminder that being local champion is very different from having a game that travels well. That said, Jarvis beat older Ionescu earlier this year a few weeks ago in a win that surprised me, so at some point we need Jarvis to actually do it in these...

I hear that, but I wonder if that would have been the sentiment if Drinkhall didn't beat him 3-0. The kid is higher ranked than Drinkhall, almost eliminated Gauzy at the WTTC as well. And the older Ionescu isn't chopped liver either and he decimated Drinkhall. So the way I see it, the team...

Young Ionescu beat Dima at European Games and is the European U19 champion (likely the Lebruns didn't play) - let's just say I find Drinkhall's win more of the outlier than Pitchford's loss. https://worldtabletennis.com/allplayersranking?Age=YOUTH&selectedTab=BOYS%27%20SINGLES

Pitch won the hardest match to win that contest, form or not - give him some credit. The real question is why Jarvis is not trusted enough as British champion to step up and play in one of the top 2 spots.

I am also noticing that in some fixtures, players get changed in the later matches - noticed Zhmudenko of Ukraine getting switched in vs France and Pitchford was switched into the decider vs Norway, but didn't have to play since Drinkhall beat Haug. What rules govern this? Anyone know?

What happened to Britt Eerland? Did she retire or get injured or something? Surprised that Netherlands doesn't have a strong TT team anymore...

Seems Milosz tagged Boll again...

I hated the regular Mizutani but I like the SZLC. That said, D05 to me is an interesting rubber, I haven't tried D80 yet but I am pretty sure I will prefer it.
