Well if they eliminate divisions 2 and 3, it sounds pretty logical. Not sure about bloated.

Go Jike! Make a monkey out of me!

You obviously missed the point of her post. Since you have to read a lot of posts to get it, I can understand why you missed it and there is no point in revisiting the issue.

They have a lot of time to figure this out. But if they had benched Ishikawa in that final it would have been a bad move. Her performance however gives them more to work with.

Timo was still playing when he looked past it. He won an Olympic bronze team medal when he looked last it, even beating Joo. It might have been because it was an Olympic year but no one ever suggested he was retiring because he was always playing. So this depends on how well you think Zhang...

In any case, my point is that it's not as if Persson said something that should undermine his credibility with anyone but the most serious ZJK fan. I am sure that without this forum, if someone told me ZJK was retired, I would have believed it and if someone told me ZJK was making a comeback, I...

Sure. But again, I won't talk too much without having heard the commentary. But ZJK playing in China Open is not the same thing as ZJK playing in the Super League or in the Japan Open.

Didn't hear the commentary but that doesn't sound dead wrong to me. It just sounds factually wrong but could be practically correct. Think Robin Soderling.

People aren't giving Franziska credit. It is easy to understand what happened if you note the number of times that Franziska dropped a short return and Xu Xin would wait for the ball to come long but it didn't. Xu Xin was also used to chopping the ball short and against most opponents they...

That FZD doesn't convince you is amazing to me but to each his own.

Are you thinking Teams or Singles? I am in my mind right now sketching a plan to see the singles in 2019. The teams would be better value but not sure whether I want to go to Korea for this...

I agree but that shouldn't be a factor for the next 10 yrs.

I know what you mean but I think those who disagree with you are closer to the truth. And as Ilia rightly said, it might be more the retirement of Ma Long and Xu Xin than the growth of new players. But here is my take: Liang Jingkun seems to be stepping it up in the gym and diet arena. That...

A year to the next WTTC, two years to the next WTTTC likely a little shorter because it is an Olympic year.

I guess people can watch Soo's commentary if it is still available and form their own conclusions as to whether it justifies your self congratulation. Her analysis and evaluation of Hirano was more derogatory IMO. It's really funny how people cite matches from 7 years ago and use them as...

Congrats to Germany! 2 years ago, Dima not playing, Boll injured, they didn't get out of the first round. In this event, they used a true team effort to get to the Finals, with Filus coming up big against Brazil when Timo and Patrick were injured. Hopefully, this will eliminate the bad taste...

Team rules, the player cannot deny. I don't think people saw it. It might also have been a suggestion from the coach since he didn't stand to make it visible.

He started pushing long and then it all changed....

His short play won him the first set. Xu Xin baited him with those rally points - don't lose your focus, PF!

Amazing short game display from Patrick!
