With the kid's style and playing time, his health is not a given. Just saying. Ask Zhang Jike.

Why didn't these "better" players beat him - why did FB do badly during trials? ZJK, he beat all of them during the internal practice for the WTTC including Fang Bo who you want to replace him. Everyone has bad days, the guy has made TT more exciting than any of the people you want to replace...

Amazing. Simply amazing!

I can't go into every single detail about it since a lot of this is gut feeling but I watched the Dima-Niwa match live, I Watched it again in parts, and I am still lost on what you are trying to say. Cultures are also different. I could probably tcho more if I was in Asia as it looks very...

I played some matches this weekend at my club and on the road. Trying to figure out and work on a few things. 1. I finally learned a couple of interesting things from all the EmratThich videos I have been watching. One was that he said that high toss serve was supposed to have low energy and...

First of all, this is not true, and I don't know why you have to claim it. Dima can celebrate loudly to get himself going but he does not tcho every point. His celebrations vary in intensity and get louder as the match gets closer but are often very short and just "hooope" or something like...

It is *much* better, but it is still obnoxious. And you cannot disregard the impact on the opponent. There is a reason why players do it and why player are encouraged to do it, it just multiplies the feeling you have when your play is ineffective. I agree it can pump you up, but the question...

I think LSS has proven that he can beat Ma Long if he can beat FZD. The problem is that LSS in the matches I have seen so far depends a lot on passive returns to his sidetop serves. FZD will not be giving him that.

Some day, a scientist will do the research that will show that people getting in your face like that hurts your performance unless you get back in their face as well. Then people will understand the root of such behavior in our animal nature and why you can't have people do that without...

His choing was the appropriate response. I am not sure whether I still have the video, but that is exactly how I play when I am in hostile environments. You have to cho to pump yourself up when the opponent is getting in your face with their noise making. Like I said, people who do not...

Is it just me or does the Japanese coach look like Bill Murray?

The match is fun but the Xu Xin win feels inevitable. What had the world come to when I am rooting for a 13 year old cho monster?????

By the fourth game, he just decided to start trying anything be could think of. He usually loses 4-0 or 4-1 to FZD, he cannot muster serious belief playing Fan. I remember the Asian champs where ZJK played FZD, he ended up admitting that he just could not control the power. If Niwa and...

Top players except Ma Long and Fan Zhendong have flaws in their game, they just do things so well that it doesn't matter.

This is why I wish Dima had won. On any other day, I would have preferred Niwa but Fan Zhendong only respects ball bashing.

Wong Chun Ting is not a penholder. He is a shakehand player who holds the paddle incorrectly. I sense none of the trickery or deception that Xu Xin or Ma Lin or even Jesus Cantero use. Or He Zhiwen or Ryu Seung Min.

After all that Victas marketing? Hopefully, those aren't Tenergies...lol...

I love Niwa but I wanted Dima to have a crack at FZD again. Niwa struggles way too much with FZD.

You are good at backhand topspin. Play backhand ropapin!
