At that time, every country you mention had its own ‘chouchou’, but now this is actually much less prevalent. Sweden has Truls, France has the brothers & Simon, Germany has Sabine & Annett, Romania has Bernadette, but that's about it. There is still a lot of emerging talent, but they still...

The quarter-finalists in the men's competition are known: And the woman:

They're not learning it!!!

No counter-loop but slap. Featuring Adriana...or Hugo....;)

Yes, that's right, and those are precisely the three points where his timing with his BH is off. If he becomes more consistent, the minor errors will automatically disappear and we will see a player who can take Alexis' place in the top 15-20 in the world.

I think Coton is a stronger/powerful player than his opponent XP, but he still lacks consistency, which is not surprising given his age.

There is nothing wrong with is push. Unbelievable BH but I saw severals bad timing. He was faster with his arm but the ball wasn’t there yet. Not sure if XP is a stronger player (in my opinion not) but XP was much more consistent in this match. What I do know is that this youngster will make...

Pffffff, lucky boy!

That's right, and when he's cornered, he always starts serving above the table and moves his body further and further beside away from the table so he can play his serves and reduce the playing field. No referee ever comments on that.

I never saw this before, euhhh it’s special! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1132033794976731/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I didn't know him yet, but he's a very nice player. He'll get there!(y) I just saw his match against Sakai. He could have won that one 1-3 as well, actually (5-7 lead in the 4th set). I do see some areas for improvement, though. He looks back too much (at his coach?), his footwork definitely...

Thank you very much for your contribution. There's nothing wrong with becoming a chopper. I love playing against a classic defence, but I don't enjoy it as much when 'help-rubbers' are used. Now, over the years, we've also learned to get around that clip, so don't take what I just wrote too...

When I see who plays in the French and German leagues, I have my reservations about the Belgian and Dutch leagues, or rather, about the clubs in both countries. What a sad state of affairs in these supposedly wealthy countries that are struggling to find sponsors.

After a while, you don't look at the ball, yes when it hits but not at your racket. My hitting point is always by feel and I always look at the opponent's position then. A friend of mine who is much better and top 100 player in his country says the same thing, his hit-moment is purely on...

Your last sentence is important to me. If she is already good with SP at the age of 10, she certainly started earlier. So the question remains, why did she start doing that. Who or what prompted her to abandon regular rubbers on her BH. I think only the topic starter can answer this. To be...

Indeed, that’s true. I just wonder if she tried with inverters at an even younger age. Did she train long enough with regular rubbers? Who pushed the kid to start playing with SP. I suspect it is always forced on you by others. When you are that age, you can surely master all your strokes, both...

I didn’t ask for a question on my question. That’s not a reason.

Possible.

Yes, I know that, but: why on that age with SP? Why? Give me one good reason. Why do you let a child start SP? That's why I'm curious to know the answer. It’s only a simple question.
