Ovtcharov is already 4th. http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=wr Big jump by Steffan Mengel 49 102 MENGEL Steffen GER 2176

I am not sure if Jun is not sick, look what he is doing in all breaks. Anyway I hope he wins it, I really hate Dima behaviour like he is always shows his happiness even when his opponent misses easy shot.

Yes this should be more interesting. I think japan players did great work last year, especially kenta and masato. I think they Can win against germany. Korea is also strong last time. In my opinion Korea vs japan should fight for 2nd place and germany with portugal for 4th. But future will show.

Dan, When you will be testing this rubber, try to compare it to T05FX. This is very popular BH rubber, even chinese players use it. I am thinking if the new t80fx is going to be faster. Thanks in advance

If the serve is illegal or not, the only person that can say it is the referee. Most of the players besides Samsonov use their body of hand movement to hide the ball, especially Xu Xin, but this is another topic. That is why I would suggest to serve only with BH side.

if we talk about proffesional players I think Kenta is very good lastly. He developed traditional serves as well which helps him make a lot of points. Of course Ovtcharov is great as well. Chinese players I think Wang Hao is the best.

It seems your step is too big. Your current set up is quite strange. Most of people start with allround blade and then upgrade only the rubbers to faster. Final change to OFF blade is only for really advanced players, when they lack of speed with allround blade and off rubbers. If you want to...

It is not only that. A lot of people like tenergy rubbers, especially those who played long time ago with Srivers boostes with a glue each training session. The problem is that some blades which are very offensive makes the set up with tenergies not easy to control. What I mean is the problem...

I would say that t80 is very fast. Too fast for me for BH especially with OFF blade. I would suggest t05fx, it is softer more control and less speed, but still not slow.

I know your blade is quite stiff and not easy to play unless you are very advanced. You Can try innerforce zlf it is much softer with great control and still quite powerfull"

t05 is good for playing close, but it has quite low throw angle, so it is not that easy to flick the ball but very good for blocking. FX version is softer, so it is easier to flick and better in distance.

the lady comentator rules ;) "oh my good", "oh my goodness"

excellent job by CHO, he chose placement instead of power. On the other hand FZD usually very offensive player, here was just bloking CHO topspins. He is still very young.

I do not know what happened but now table 1 is really good while table 2 is same as previous very poor.

Thanks for reminding. Anyway trials are trials, final is a final. Fan Zhendong is that kind of player who takes a lot of risk, sometimes unnecessary. Yan An is more solid.

I think we are going to see nice battle between Fan and Yan. Last time Yan An destroyed Fan in the russia final (as I remember). I am thinking also about Zhou Yu, he has made a big progress.

I do not know if he was injured or not, but I must admit that Freitas was playing very consistent all tournament. So I am not surprised he won the competition. Dima was playing very poor all the matches, he luckily won with Gardos and lost with Apolonia. Also last match with Mattent almost lost...

So far Timo has a huge problem with ovtcharov FH serves, it seems he does not read the spin.

I already voted for samsonov, but I think Marcos Fretias is performing quite well last time. He is also working hard in WSA with Dirk Wagner.

You can try play long serve into his elbow. Then you can start with topspin to the FH corner. I think he will be too late to block it, but if he does with his long pimples try to push the ball into his BH and then again FH topspin. The other thing is that you can serve into his BH short with a...
