My knees are shit and slow heavy topspin is not what it used to be with the new ball. Don't get me wrong, my looping style is already high arc and spin based, but getting low to loop backspin has been a bit of a crapshoot. That the guy often blocked heavy topspin into the net cracked me up. I...

Players who advance in all 3 events will get wiped out. They aren't robots. Only if you have event participation limits may it work. But then you limit the opportunity yo see the best players multiple times.

Well, the Westchester tournament has wooden floor so it is different. IT is very nice to play at, I can't play with the same feeling elsewhere. If I edit some video I might post a shorter version. Here is my favorite point (there were probably other good ones but this particular one I like)...

I went to Westchester to play on Saturday for the first time in a few years - Saturday is usually the day for lower players and Sunday for higher players but I had dropped low enough lol. I wanted revenge on a sandbagging penholder that I hoped would be there - unfortunately he didn't turn up...

What will be interesting for CNT as well on the Men's side is who is the alternate to the Olympics - is it Lin Gaoyuan or Liang Jingkun? Or Wang Chuqin? Small things but they say something about the internal dynamics. For the women, who is the third player on the team? Zhu Yuling would have...

Looks like Ishikawa, Ito, Hayata. Japan will care about the doubles slot. But they have locked themselves into the top 2 ranked positions. Unless the WTTC points end up hurting Ito who went out earlier than the rest. That may get Hirano or Kato in.

I think anyone familiar with TT knows that this 2012 story is not as simplistic as you make out. Familiarize yourself with the details, and we can have an informed conversation. Maybe when you have, then it will be worth discussing. Because you seem to not even try to understand how the...

It is hard to co-ordinate and takes time. Even in the NBA and NFL, it can add 2 minutes, sometimes more. And these are the two of richest sports in the world. I think a net sensor makes more sense for let calls, with a threshold and audible response that makes it clear to everyone.

Nah. The Japanese girls don't fold like that. IT will be a match till the end.

He wasn't doubted by many, he just choked and put too much pressure on himself. Trust me, very few people were given as many resources and opportunities to cope with their issues as Ma Long was, and you don't get those resources if people truly doubt you. If you watch any interview with any of...

I think he will retire after the Olympics.

A mild pity that LJK ruined what should have been an epic semi-final, but thanks to Falck and Gauzy for a great tournament!

Just register at the bleacher report - it is currently free.

The timeout was very stupid if you ask me. But people make mistakes.

The GOAT!

If Quadri (or even Kanak) were playing, I would be too.

In the US, David Zhuang was in the US Champs semis and hadn't lost a match to a US player in a long time. Lily Yip, who is a short pips hitter, coached her current son-in-law, Cory Eider, to beat him. I thought Korea would find someone to train An or Jang and I am sure they did.

This is weird analysis to be honest. Even in tennis people are playing with extra spin and you really believe table tennis is where less spin will dominate over more? So why is Falck the only one? At the Lower levels where are the people who are emulating him? Why isn't this working in the...

This makes the internal trials for the third CNT spot more exciting. And again, Ma Lin gives a big middle finger to the machinations of Xiao Zhan.

It pretty much does. This has been the only reason she hasn't gone so far.
