I'm planning a trip to Linz for the last three days of the Austrian Open. The only links I can find are the event calendar on ITTF and some news from the 2018 tournament. Does anyone know how to buy advance tickets online? I'm in the US and will arrive on the 15th, so buying at the venue...

Tunnelbear has Japan

Bump This made me want to learn some more chinese TT vocabulary. Cho doesn't really fit my skillset. What is chinese for when you try to win a cheap point with a long fast serve and it goes off the table? That one I could use.

You will get used to it.

Miwa Harimoto is playing in this? How old is she, 12?

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't.

The Chinese players are very polite guests. They didn't come to embarrass anyone.

Thanks, this will come in handy I will have a lot more opportunities to say wo cao than I do chorei, since failing to reach wide fhs is a staple of my game. I assume it means something equivalent to "oh shit!" or will serve the same purpose anyway. Any other standard Chinese phrases for bad...

Not sure this is true for sp, although far be it from me to question zeio. It seems that if you can't handle a given spin level with short pips, you have zero chance if handling it with tenergy.

Some of those Olympic venues are probably in Sarajevo. The point is still true, Olympics are a boondoggle.

Sharp pain is the body's way of saying Stop! I suggest you listen to your body.

@ Carl You are so wrong. Maybe in the pros, depending on your definition of "truly sexy.". There is a small number of female pros so of course few will look exceptional. Consider the flip side, how many male pro TT players look like movie stars either? They aren't selected on looks, so it's...

To me playing negatively is choosing the wrong shot for the ball because you are too afraid of missing to play a better shot that you have. It's completely context-dependent and it's a decision-making error caused by lack of confidence.

I would say you start by trying to play your strength(s). If you can do that you are controlling the flow of the points. Just keep doing it until the match is over. If you find your opponent is in control and you are not able to handle his strength(s) then you have to look for a way to break...

This is a strong argument for having the national association choose the players with no predetermined criteria. When opponents can easily game your selection the only benefit is lost, which is supposedly fairness.

One thing most players can agree on is that the Bty G40+ is horrible. If thise two are your choices go with the NP3* every time.

Miwa HM has the most potential. I love watching her play the juniors bc she is a stone-cold killa.

Why wouldn't she feel this way? LSW was #1 and should have pkayed singles in Rio but team politics kept her out. No one can blame DN for taking her chance and I am sure LSW doesn't blame her. DN didn't select herself.
