youngsik doing extremely well and with luck also on his side.

outstanding performance by youngsik 1-0 ahead vs zjk

I really love this :D

We say the same thing. If boll was placed first it would be a different case. Of course you cant know for sure if boll would beat yoshimura who is far less experienced, but if the risk pays of you are 2-0 ahead and doubles are always close to steal the match with 3-0. or have dima vs niwa in the...

Well for me it seemed that it was more than obvious taht mizu will play at no2. maybe rosskopf tried to steal the match and expected more from boll. Cant find any logic behind his decision but for sure he had some reasont to place the players like that. If mizu lost to dima japan would win the...

franziska didnt manage to qualify. who will replace boll or steger if they should retire? easier to say than do it

One more thing that most people forget or are unaware of. The first pattent for the plastic ball was credited to a woman (or a company which that particular woman was involved). That woman was the wife of a male member in the ITTF committee. Enough said Its sad to see that world TT is basicaly...

I think japanese coach outsmarted rosskopf in the draw. I dont understand why put dima @ no1 when you know that japan will for sure chase 2 games by mizutani so placing im @ no2 is expectable/predictable. Boll could definitely beat yoshimura, and dima vs mizu is a derby

my bad mizutani faces steger. no chance at all :P

Just because germany lost 2 doubles doesnt mean its easy work for japan. Steger and niwa never faced each other before so I think bastian can pull it of if he continues playing like his other 2 singles matches

Definitely cannot move the same after his surgery. Not anytime soon, he still enjoys playing but slowly he will be replaced by franziska most likely ittf just uploaded this on YT

Actually dima did it yesterday also, it seemed pretty classy/funny. Today it seemed silly because he was not feeling it "100%" :P

Its a matter of preference really, as archosaurus said niwa/waldner (and many more, like crisan, samsonov who only chos in crucial points, he zhi wen also an example and of course tang peng wong chun ting and jiang tianyi are also very calm players). So whatever helps you deal with tension is...

what did he do?

My 2 cents is that your main focus should be to enjoy the game, eyes on the ball and shut down everything else, just relax and focus on the ball. Its not something that will change immediately but match after match you ill definitely see improvement. Team matches are for sure more tense than...

In the greek championships this year, we were provided stag balls. We played 14 league matches and all of my 6 balls broke. BEAR in mind that we only used those balls for the matches. I have played with DHS, nittaku, xu shao fa and butterfly and I dont know which game some of you guys play, but...

Its easier to synchronize your body and adapt to the incoming ball if u are moving yes. But dont try to "mimick" the pros by getting into the table early they do that because they expect a short serve most of the times but they have also practiced "jumping" back a bit if the serve is long. zhang...

Of course I dont judge anyone for doing anythig. I just provided examples of how people think and sometimes expressing stupid opinions based on a sentimental foundation not a logical one. LGL proved correct once again, FZD is too young and most likely he would be affected by the olympics...

Siva, you should try to understand that its only a matter of personal taste/preference. Some people like ML's attitude and hate ZJK's "arrogance". Some other people think ML is a wuss and ZJK is macho. Hell some parents even commented that ZJK;s behavior is "bad" example for kids, totally...

Franzsiska is great talent, but for sure not consistent enough right now. Hope he can level up his game in a few years, so that germany still has 2 top notch players
