  1. Video Footage Safe Thread

    The stroke is fine, in reality no one plays one good stroke, most people have a variety of techniques they adapt to balls and this shot is not out of place. I tell people all the time the secret to a high level backhand is getting more and more used to the wrist pointing towards your target at...

    The highlight videos are out. Maybe you have regional viewing issues but they have been out for a while.

    They gave him an award of sorts for winning 3 in a row and he made a speech in Chinese and repeated it in English. The team doesn't need him as much anymore so whether he is retiring or not, it probably isn't worth it to suffer like this to keep his level.

    Lionheart!

    Fan's defensive skills are crazy - that 2-1, 9-9 point, that was a loose serve and Wang thought he could win it on the return. Crazy that Fan won that point. Losing game 4 is crushing in this kind of war of attrition. The problem is that Wang is not used to fighting like this, but Fan is used...

    I want Wang to win, but I think FZD just has a higher level of maturation. All the years of suffering against Ma Long have given him perspective against other opponents. WCQ might need another year or two of same.

    Sun Yingsha wins a match where both players were obviously fighting through nerves. Congrats to Sun, and who would have predicted that the pair of Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng would only finish their careers with runner-up titles at the WTTC when they were clearly the future in 2015? Though by...

    It felt like a mercy game to be honest.

    WH was unlucky to have Zhang Jike lol.

    ML could not maintain. I can't see where he will find a stable edge here. This might be 0‐4.

    Fan Zhendong is so respected that no one is talking up Wang's triple crown chances which were just as real as Sun Yingsha's.

    That was how it was in Houston as well, though to be fair, a lot of players did travel in from all over the country to watch, including myself.

    The best match of the event!

    Again???

    8‐5 to 8‐11. Hope died there.

    Ma Lin is bush league but I get it. Choing on misses is part of the game. Come on Hina. Give us hope!

    Much better already

    Her placement in WTTC has revived her I think. That the biggest upset so far is China on China is not encouraging.
  19. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    Mima is looking like an amateur vs Chen. Hopefully Hayata will look better. I don't even care about winning but at least look competent on serve return and in the rallies even if you lose all the points. Don't get me wrong, I get it, she is taking extremely high risk with the hope of some...

    It is my favorite backhand (no disrespect to Fan and Tomo). Extra points for Chinese rubber.
