he who deserves to win a tournament, wins the tournament. People should understand that spectacular table tennis (like ma long plays) is not the same thing like efficient table tennis (like wang hao and zhang jike play, and they give us spectacular rallies also). Wang Hao may not have the pro...

First of all the match against Samsonov was more of a show than an important match, either Asia or Europe wins, nobody really cares. Zhang is a player for big moments winning in pro tours is not his main goal. Pro tours are for money only and keeping your performance at a certain level, lets not...

lightning fast h4ks3lR! thank you so much :)

The 4th game was really crucial WH was winning 10-7 but lost the set. He gave a very good fight though, he could win it this time,but in the end he made more mistakes than ZJK

And few more facts for those who criticize liu guoliang being "harsh" to ma long. LGL believed in ma long when he was really young and gave him opportunities at an early age (16-17) as he saw his FH was of tremendous potential. He gave ML many opportunities and they all went down the hill. I see...

He wasnt hostile against ma long, he said to him that he played really good after the first 3 sets and that he shouldnt be so sad

great post! Especially the part about short game and coaching with timo. I agree that if boll played ma long without coaches boll would win I believe his chances are not over..from the upcoming young generation chinese, only Yan An is convincing enough to compete so I believe he still has some...

Guys table tennis big titles as in all sports needs not only good technique but strong mentality. ML is spectacular but with no mentality at all, crushing your opponents in world tours doesnt mean anything if you cant win at big tournaments. WH and ZJK can play both efficient and spectacular...

haha yes it sounds weird but its not, the UAE want to promote it throughout the world for tourism and financial investments. http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/dubai_to_sponsor_chinas_national_table_tennis_team/

that is by far the most funny post in this thread :P

dubai is their new sponsor for the past 4-5 months approximately

he is now trailing 3-2. he needs to pump up himself more he doesnt celebrate not choeing at all. It would be relaxing for him to celebrate more and will clear his mind

the crowd is with ma long, fantastic atmosphere! its a pity if he wont make it to the final. Watching a 4th ZJK WH encounter will be disappointing

ma long is weak mentally, so it not that unbelievable. He has match point right now in the 4th set. lets see if he proves me wrong

Well everybody talked about how low his performance was prior to the WTTC. He is human not god he cant win all the world tour opens, today he proved once more that he is the man to do the job, totally outsmarted Xu Xin. XX had his chances but he should have changed his game earlier, he gave ZJK...

zhang jike is dominant leading 2-0 but bad luck for XX he is forced to change his paddle. Lets hope it wont affect him

Equipment is of unsignificant importance when you play so bad. Even in the pro level if you dont make a quality shot its the player's fault not the paddle's

dude on the left top side of the screen there are two "live" words white letters in red font. They are the two live broadcasts for each table. If you cant see that something is wrong :D

In a very tight 4th set between simon gauzy and seo hyondeok, the score was 10-9 for gauzy and controversy was caused. Gauzy's stroke hit twice the korean's side of the table but the umpire gave the point to the korean. The slow motion showed crystal clear that the ball hit twice. My question...
