Unless Walker medals and I think beating Gao Ning or any of the other players would be a good win, and maybe even if Walker medals, I think England's men's team will be very disappointed with their tournament.

Didn't see the match but Wang Zhen is tough. Can make anyone look out of sorts.

Because you don't push the racket in the direction you want the ball to go. You just hold your racket there and hope for the best. If you consistently make a movement towards where you want the ball to go the problem goes away.

Not sure what your point is. You didn't even write a coherent post. Then you come back to a post 2 years later to do what? Advanced players don't ask such questions, stop acting like they do. They have enough experience to know what they prefer to do even as long as they have practiced...

The key to handling heavy topspin is to be above the ball and take it early. Come around the side if it helps. People who always drop their paddles struggle to handle heavy topspin.

Your game is really good. You will get better with more time and training. It is really up to you and your coach to decide how you want to play and to make sure you play that way. But you have all the strokes and will play better with experience.

Congrats to India for their double team gold. I would usually be mad to lose but I didn't think Nigeria would medal so beating England especially without Quadri is more than enough consolation.

Looks like Nigeria has run out of gas. India completely dominating.

Btw, sounds like Gao Ning has his game back. Hope he doesn't win the singles but right now he is playing like the favorite. Beating Eugene and two Indians in straight sets is not easy. Will be interesting to see what he does vs the English. Also, Bode Abiodun came up HUGE for Nigeria. I know...

He was sick and arrived in Australia late. No point in him playing since he still has to adjust to the time zones.

Your problem is that you are not focused on the contact you are focused on the follow through. The tomahawk serve is easy to read if you look at the contact. The problem is when you look at the follow through and there the racket always seems to be coming down and forward so you keep reading...

The thing is that he is not just exaggerating, he is trying to make his predictions reality because they are the general opinion of some cognoscenti that don't want logic to bow to facts. Not beating the Chinese is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Ishikawa has had other relatively major...

The principle of specificity...

If we take the kid at his word, he thought he should be able to overpower JSE and got frustrated when he couldn't and couldn't adjust to the fact that what worked 6 weeks ago wasn't working now.

This is the same WCT that beat Harimoto (3-0) and Koki Niwa in February, beat Lee Sang Su and took two games of Ma Long in Germany . As much as it is in vogue to call WCT overrated, the point here is that there is no need to find excuses for the kid. The kid is also pointing out that he...

Definitely possible but he beats WCT 4-0 after. In the end we just have to accept that the matches are what they are. Jeong was once expected to be a top level player. You don't see it all the time but sometimes you do. Think about how many players have beaten Ma Long, injured or healthy, in...

He knows why he lost he is just too proud to say it and not willing to cede that to his opponents. First of all, Jeong was playing out of his mind with a super level of consistency. As someone who has played Ma Long tough, he knows how to hit a level that is very consistent. Of course he...

Oh well. Level range still too wide. But Jeong has been known to mess up Ma Long.
