One thing the Chinese do well is change the arc and speed of the ball. This seems to be helping LJK. When he just bangs with Alex it doesn't seem to work well.

Let's go LJK!

Both of Flavien's parents were professional players, Same with Harimoto. At least one parent of Matsushima and Lebrun were also professional that I know of. The new model outside of China seems to be start training at a very young age (2-4) with a world class hitting partner (mom, dad, uncle)...

Hugo looked very off. Everything went long on his forehand.

Maybe only have the rule applicable for para and youth events? Maybe u-13? For regular play this rule is definitely unenforceable.

My sincerest apologies. I did not know Lily was injured. I never listen to the commentating when I watch the matches. If Lily is indeed hurt, then maybe playing 1 match wasn't such a bad idea after all. If Lily is healthy however, there is zero chance she is not playing two matches with...

The kids aunt was also a province team member, coach of a world champion (He Zhili), over 40 women's world champion as well as coaching various successful players and teams in the northeast. If the kid needs a practice partner or coach, his family has it covered.

Where is Amy Wang? Why didn't Lily play 2? IMHO Lily is by far the strongest player on Team USA.

1) Your serve is still too high. 2) You need to find better people to play with. 3) Although your forehand looks ok, please stop doing 360 forehands. If you hurt your knee, it will never be the same even after surgery. If you are going to be a pro, you will be playing for the next 15 years...

Looks good!

As far as LSD losing weight, I am not sure it would help. There have been a few high profile TT players who were forced to lose weight and they played worse. The coaches then decided to let them play at whatever weight was natural. I won't out anyone but maybe people can guess who they are.

I agree with Dr. Evil. Stay in the USA. All the travel and housing money you are going to waste could be spent on more hours of practice with people better than you. Since they are better than you, occasionally you can ask them how they do things you cannot. Many young players unfortunately...

I was wrong in my prediction. Congrats Portland!

I can't confirm or deny that FZD or someone who looks exactly like FZD is at the venue...

If I had to guess right now, Carolina.

Insane illegal toss then completely hide the ball contact with your head. Lets go Lebesson! Seriously, why even have service rules in the first place?

With the way Lebesson serves, why even have service rules at all?

I am pretty sure there are people around here who know a bit about what MLTT is paying. I am also pretty sure they have been asked not to talk about it publicly. :)

Every single professional player (on a province team or the CNT) in China practices their serve for 1 hour either every day or 6 days a week. Have whomever is your head coach to design drills to do with the robot that compliment whatever you are working on in the evenings. 23 hours a week is...

The absolute #1 thing to determine how good a player will be is how young they can start with good practice partners and coaches. Look at the LeBrun brothers, the Harimotos, the Matsushimas, etc. They all had family members who could train and coach them from a very young age. There are...
