lagogiannis vs enio mendes

lagogiannis - riniotis

Olympiacos will probably clinch the title in the 2nd round, unless something crazy happens. Mendes & papageorgiou are more experienced than the youngsters of pera and if riniotis plays up to his level in the 2nd round then its definitely a win

These are two videos from the best two teams in greece right now. Olympiacos (mendes,riniotis,papageorgiou,sgouropoulos) and AS PERA club lagogiannis, k. konstantinopoulos, g. konstantinopoulos). 1st match is Enio Mendes vs George Konstantinopoulos 2nd match is Papageorgiou vs Kostas...

ma long vs fang bo will win most likely. I voted for the zhu yuling vs liu shiwen polish open cause we rarely see points like this between women, topspins exchanges are common in men's TT

Yeah I agree, actually winning against ma long in pro tours several times where ZJK does not play his 100% would have a negative effect on ma long's confidence even more. But then again, both of them dont seem to care so much about pro tours, even ma long. they just attend for extra "practice"...

From a specific perspective all these seem logical but from another one they also seem like conspiracy theories. I dont know if ZJK wanted ML to be overconfident, it doesnt seem reasonable to me because they have nothing else to hide from each other. I think the most logical explanation is that...

Oh my god I used to that all the time and always trying to find the perfect way of throwing the ball. I sadly didnt record anything although I have done like a hundred or more tests throwing balls from different heights. So I found out that if u let a ball fall into the sweet spot of the blade...

I think he's even more annoying than the peanut guy although they have different playing styles

Well every aspect of the game is related to another aspect. Of course im not saying that playing with brute force close to the table is the way to go but its just how the game has evolved through the years. Delicate touch players have less success ratio in big tournaments, big tournaments of...

Well I meant that in the first place, but sometimes dont know how to use english words accurately enough and fail to realise that other readers most of the time wont understand what I want to say int the first place :P So all in all what Im pointing out here is that, no matter how creative you...

Well, I didnt say weak but "simple", ma long and mizutani have definitely more "tricky" and deceptive serves than zhang jike or wang hao or kong. Now for zhang to get to the rally with jun or ma long is easy, cause he has played them so many times and analyzed them thoroughly he can adapt...

Its certainly not everything but sadly as the game has evolved to be more physical, explosive attacks and countertopspins are more effective than blocks or fishing. The chinese have somehow "robotized" the game and their philosohpy is quite obvious: "If we can topspin and take the initiative to...

Well he was given a chance in CTTSL but he didnt perform as expected. I dont think if he was chinese he would be CNT, but thats just an assumption, what Im trying to say is , if he was chinese he would be more explosive and with more effective FH technique (lol inception:P) . I really admire Jun...

lol my bad! actually jun has beaten liang jing kun in 2014 japan open 4-1, now thats definitely a surprise

Mizutani is great against europeans, his consistency is immense but he lacks power in both wings, in comparison to the top chinese of course. Lets not forget that the chinese always study possible threats so LJK had top coaching also. He just plays too safe against them and is not explosive...

faster gathering of balls

haha it seems really funny. My way of practicing placement on my serves is setting the empty bucket @ where the ball is going to fall and then just focus on my 1st/2nd bounce placement. Its really hard at the begining but once you get the hang of it you spend less and less time gathering balls...

Yeap this is maybe the most logical explanation, the trajectory of the ball and the direction of liu shiwen's paddle dont match, one should expect the ball to fly high over szocs extreme BH side

you dont know how much topspin or sidespin the ball has to judge that, after seeing the trajectory before liu hits it you can tell that the spin is very light, and liu's push is directed into szcocs bh so if the ball was gripped correctly it would change direction. The ball just didnt grip...
