LGY definitely belongs in this topic: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/what-table-tennis-players-are-mentally-strong-and-what-table-tennis-players-are-very-weak-mentally.33592/, which is very unfortunate.

Indeed, hiding or not hiding the ball with your body/head is strictly forbidden but that rule should be rewritten. From me, an opposing player is allowed to throw his ball behind his back if he can, as long as I can see the ball at the point of contact with his racket. What is many times worse...

Now this is not really a good example. The camera setup is much higher than what ML could actually see. Put that camera at eye level and I'm already more in agreement.

Yes, the call was 9-9 but not on the scoreboard which read 8-10. That confused Simon. I had already written that the referee's left arm went up....

I don't think I'm writing anything else. But originally, though, there was never 9-9 on the scoreboard. (first 8-10, then 9-9) A referee shouldn't just overrule himself either. Once the arm goes up, the point must be awarded in my opinion.

People don't look properly anyway I guess and see other things in the meantime.🤣 Originally, the referee had awarded the point to Simon (her left arm goes up) but the electronic scoreboard then reported 8-9 > 10 for Mohamed.

For the simple reason that a point must be allocated to either player. What you suggest you do in a garage or at a campsite but is not allowed in official competitions.

I don't know why you would draw red or green, neither situation occurred. Red is even obviously not possible as you write yourself, so why draw it as an example. The point of contact right on the ball can perfectly hit the side of the table without hitting the edge since the ball falls from the...

Again about boosting... I am still waiting in another topic about already boosting for an answer as to why I would boost. Or better, what could be the benefits of boosting? I always used to have some difficulties against LP and Anti rubbers but over the years learned to play against these ping...

Very nice that Anders is of his word.(y) I know others who don't send anything you've won...

Nee, niet van buiten de tafel. Van binnenuit de tafelafmetingen. 1°) Simplistische weergave van wat we zagen. Zoals ik hierboven schreef, raakte de bal de tafel, maar springt niet meer omhoog en valt gewoon naar beneden vanwege de zwaartekracht (en/of effect). 2°) De bal raakt echt de hoek van...

No it is not clear. It is not because the ball hits the table that it is also edge. As far as I can see from that angle, that ball does not jump up at all but falls down from the side of the table (point of contact is on the right side of the ball). You can only speak of an edge ball if that...

Movement of his racket, hand, arm and the curve of the ball shows that the ball hit the rim but, the ball in my opinion does not jump back up but falls down, there was slight forward effect in it. In my view, the ball did hit the side but since there was no upward movement of the ball, no touch...

It is not allowed. You are playing ping pong? No table tennis?
