Asian Games is only FZD and WCQ. ML will only play Teams.

ML is FZD's papa and grandpapa!

Audience is not quite the same thing as sponsors. You could say they have sponsors and television deals.

Serving long match point down... really????

ML is a papa now, he is supposed to be making way for the young ones. And LYJ won their last match! The final will be another boring FZD win...

How is LYJ losing to ML again??? Can't see the match, only the scores, but this is not looking good...

Anyone who claims to be familiar with the laws of table tennis and with the history of table tennis matches and argues with a straight face that using two rackets, one in each hand, is completely uncontroversial and obviously legal, and then says he is "winning arguments" as if that is the...

It surprises me how people trivialize things like that LYJ is 22 but Harimoto is 20. And as Carl was hinting, it might not be an accident that both ML and FZD didnt get their first titles until they were closer to 25. Not that there aren't exceptions but it isn't entirely irrelevant and in...

Haha. It's really funny how people think that because someone is or isn't a lawyer or is or is not an engineer that they can just say whatever they want and call it "personal attacks" or "libel" etc. Good luck proving that anything I have written on any forum somewhere has caused you...

I still have a standing offer to play you for $500 best of 5, seven point handicap which should be nothing for you. Trust me, because a coach you pay loses to you doesnt mean anything (speaking from personal experience with playing coaches in handicap here). An arms-length transaction has a...

Nah, nothing energizes more than winning. And I am not entirely sure that Almaty is on the other side of the world when people from that country (Kazakhstan) are playing in the Korean tournament as well. Definitely a long flight but could be worse for sure.

The kid is a 20 year old. He has time to work and figure it out. He just has to keep working. And if he doesn't get there, he has fed his family and made good money and worked hard. That is what is life is about.

You seem to pretend that China hasn't dominated the table tennis scene for the last 20 years and that outside the Chinese group, Harimoto hasn't been largely the best player in the world. Yes he has bad losses. Yes, he has style issues which he continues to work on to round out his game...

I want LYJ to get to the final lol. ML is an easier opponent IMHO.

That's not so much his opinion. Carl's opinion as I understand it is that what Harimoto is doing is incredibly difficult and when you look at the big picture, he is still probably even with all his mishaps the best performing non-Chinese player over the past 8 years or so. The issue is really...

What do you see as your biggest bottleneck? The truth is that while not everyone admits it, a lot gets better when you have quick and easy power to bring to the ball to overpower lots of no-spin balls with good spin. If you don't know what spin is on the ball, then multiball a basic topspin...

Coaching takes up too much time - seeking Excalibur creates legends!

IT's a bit weird to argue when two people are being mutually rude to each other that one of them is engaged in personal attacks. But if you want to ride that train, be my guest. Just because you think your insults are more subtle doesn't mean they are non-existent. Regardless, that is not my...

So the best you can do is post a player practicing with two blades as an argument for the legal validity of using two blades in an internationally sanctioned match? And this isn't trolling? There are other TT forums you can post at if the forums you currently post on are so terrible, no? And...
