Looks like US will have 2 ladies in the main draw. 3 boys as well.

Both players are national team players and the one nearer the camera is a legend (Karakasevic). It was likely a practice match. But the quality and consistency of serve and serve return is generally amazing though the approach in a tournament/league match would be likely sharper. In my...

Nicholas Tio had no chance but the other Americans seem capable of winning their groups and making the main draw.

Another way to evaluate forehand quality is how well a player does vs defenders. Again, Xu Xin does very well. Of course so do Fan and Ma. Same for Boll. LJK I need to review. Of course, Harimoto not so much at the moment.

Best strokes, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong - it's a coin toss these days. Of course, from a completely different perspective, Timo Boll is still a legend. Best absolute forehand, Xu Xin. Nothing like it as his doubles play shows.

The US had a terrible draw for both men and women. Its quite possible that no other team will take a match off China. Very sad.

The other guy is a tournament/league player and is easily over 2500 and more likely over 2650. I believe though I am not sure that his last name is Jetvocic or something similar. In any case, my point was that it is easy to lose context when you don't know what you are watching. But the...

Nikhil Kumar?

Yes. Its quite obvious why I am answering you the way I am but you seem to miss the point.

I don't know who the players are, I am just asking for brokenball to estimate their ratings.

There is a difference between the way a player plays when he plays 1) an opponent he feels threatened by and there is money at stake 2) an opponent he feels threatened by and there is no money at stake 3) an opponent he doesn't feel threatened by and he is in the mood to practice (this will...

What are these guys rated, brokenball? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkjYtvfbeQA

The video is not misleading at all - it really comes down to what you are looking for and which points you use to estimate the players. In my view, both players are easily over 2200. THey are clearly doing or trying to do things that players below that level don't do. They are very familiar...

Ma Long is looking like a beast again in the CSL. He gets my vote.

Both are equally important. I know this in part because I have tried coaching players in different contexts and seen some of the limitations of things I recommended to them.

I think the American company makes enough money off things related to the brand that they are interested in owning it. The NA teams is a pretty huge tournament with over $100k in entry fees alone. It would be better to control the brand even if the equipment is not profitable than to make a new...

Not on a regular basis unless the drills you do push you a lot and the quality of the lower level player when doing drills is similar to better players but their main issue is movement. You need to see quality balls come back to get better. I actually thought that it was possible to get better...

The most important thing, by far and way, is to have an equal or higher level training partner and to work out a few hours a week, on average at least an hour a day, with that partner. Compared to that, the rest is mostly gist.
