I think the issue is how to move from a countering game to a game that is troubling for your opponents to deal with beyond the serve and banana. As he become more conventional, his limitations also stand out as his speed/timing becomes less troubling once he has to step back from the table.

Oh, I know Nagasaki is former WJTTC champion, from my memory, the year she played, none of those girls are on the national team for China now as (potential) key players and I think Ojio Haruna actually eliminated more key players with her chopping and pips. I do wish the best for Japan and will...

In my opinion, the fact that China sent so many players here and doesn't want to overdo internal trials is probably what explains the selection criteria for the Asian Championships. It gives the younger players something to play for while also likely establishing the old guard who have a weird...

I didn't even follow and know all this stuff about Ai Fukuhara. It was always going to be tough on her husband given everything (foreigner, not clearly a big tyme guy etc.) - do you have any good news article on the subject?

Happy you still have hope for someone to challenge the Chinese. I saw Kuai Man at the Muscat 2022 - looking at where she has already gotten to from where she was at WJTTC, I think Japan is just ready for another set of nightmares.

Come on, man. Quadri is married with kids - don't start rumors that will get to his wife...😋

It was weird. Usually there are no secrets between Bundesliga teammates and Franziska usually plays the power singles position for Saarbrucken. Maybe a changing of the guard is near....

Why did Darko wear Swedish colors... 😁 Europe's future is in good hands.

Yeah, if I had to work on the backhand again, this is how I would do it. I would argue that you could probably point the racket more upwards than it looks Liam is doing. so it looks more like a right angle at the wrist. There are other whippy things but would take too long to discuss them -...

Adriana Diaz definitely has legit top 10 potential. One can watch her matches against Ishikawa or the Chinese etc. And see it.

I would have ruled it a side but those controversies are not going to end today...

It is my opinion that people overrate the winners of FVD and underrate the pressure his consistency and defense/counteroffense place on the opponent.

Anyone finally conclude that for Hugo is a good athlete, but maybe TT is not quite his thing? By TT, I mean serve and serve return with the table craft of short pushing, controlling spins and keeping the ball low as the emphasis? It's all relative but the Harimoto destruction makes me wonder...

The biggest problem he has to face is that Nigerian backhand coaching is just abysmal - so he has to fix years of bad technical practice - he has worked on it a lot in Europe and now has an overall effective backhand game but there is room for improvement. But to me, they are probably still...

Those were league matches and in a format where the matches didn't mean much (his team was going to win regardless because of how overpowered it was). You never know what specifically informs the goals or practice in such matches.

IT's obvious he needed it to go to game 7 and to take a bathroom break 😋. Too bad for him it was best of 5.

Quadri beat a CNT stud for the first time. Congrats!

Most of Lin Yun Ju's highest level expertise is in the serve and return game and most of his patterns are 1) now better known and 2) not as effective against lefties. I don't rate the losses in regular tournament/practice matches and to a lesser degree league matches as I do the loss at the...
