NL, I just watched the FULL game against chuang again and I feel I should rephrase my assessment on aruna's winning points. I admit that I was not accurate enough to explain thoroughly Out of the 60 -70 total points in the game there were 7-8 rallies ( 2 or more topspin from both player...

I dont know if i understood the meaning of intemperance, had to search it on google & dictionary but all i was trying to say is that boll could beat aruna even if he was in poor physical condition, something that only timo knows for sure not us. Of course injuries are different but, I was...

even if he does use it, its certainly not a commercial version as the ones we buy. so no significance

Health condition is definitely a poor excuse my friend, especially when an injured samsonov manages to beat an inform ovtcharov. I strongly believe that boll could beat aruna even on a bad day with poor health ( i think some people will eat their tongues if boll speaks openly and honestly about...

Acrually i watched aruna in the french league quite a few times but its a differente occasion than olympics. I would dare to say that he has improved alot since april. If i find the time i will watch the match with chuang again to see if my impression is misleading

It is not consistent in general, in wttc 2015 he lost to soumajit gosh (quite decent player from india, but certainly not on aruna's level imho) in the opening round dont remember the name exactly. Obviously there are many reasons (decision making, wrong assessment of the situation, maybe they...

oh yeah NL platonov definitely comes to mind. he won gionis two times in euro champs 2013 & 2015 mizu in the first two sets had problems handling platonov's opening game imho and if pavel didnt make some unforced errors in the end he would be really close to an upset

For me its not an issue of country at all . I like the scientific approach of technique in TT and many world star players have "Weird" technique if u judge them that way. Take crisan for example, crappy footwork, crappy rallying abilities BUT excellent ball feeling, excellent placement, pure...

the bronze medal match begins in 8 hours from now.. crap i will be sleeping

lucky ding ning, danng....

The title holder has nothing to do with who is eligible to qualify for the next oly,pics coaching staff prefered ding ning over lsw, lsw clearly having some mental issues. they both lost though in the olympic qualifiers the first invitation was send to LSW the chinese federation has the right...

Whether is forced upon you or not which is 80 % of the times true, its also a matter of philosophy, sometimes the ball will come awkward and high yet aruna still has trouble to get to a relatively easy ball and miss. that is what recover is all about your first shot must be linked to the 2nd one...

? dont think aruna was nervous, his plan was clear on that serves, force ma long to pivot and BH punch kill whatever topspin comes back. he knew he didnt have chances at a rally so he went all out, pretty clever if you ask me, regardless the result

against the rules? have you even read the rules? come on man im not even getting into a pointless conversation, know your stuff better. federations have the right to deny an invitation and thats what happened. if u think it is unfair that is your problem, the rules are crystal clear. bye!

also about the olympic system of qualification, there is no perfect "fair and square" system, every country can fix no matter the system the olympic committee choses. if for example the 2 single spots were to be decided in qualification tournaments then LGL would still send zjk and ma long. but...

nop ma long was no5. the rankings after wttc 2011 would decide who would go for olympics in london

seriously Carl i admire your patience its hialrious. im more than bored to reply 4 years after the 2012 olympics and still there is the fairytale drama of LGL picking wang hao or zjk over ma long . I mean daaaaaamn

aruna's attitude is really great, attack hard no matter what, timo actually read him well but failed to execute he simply was not there. he got frustrated didnt play with clear mind and when he did it was too late, a few lucky balls from aruna in the 6th set, some unforced errors by timo and...

rofl gotta love arune, he just punches the ball even harder no matter ma long does

aruna's fh is so strong but if the ball comes back, bye bye recovery. it would be a surprise if he gets 7 points
