You can kill a short topspin with a tomahawk smash if the bounce is high enough. I have a partner who is a brilliant blocker, destroys me every time I play a short spinny loop, even when the bounce is low.

Backhand sidespin chopblock can work wonders as well. Though mine is way more passive (shorter stroke) and far less spinny.

Early on the bounce, close the racket, counter. Alternatively, learn chop block. The tomahawk block works best for me.

Truls is the most fun player to watch since Waldner, absolutely spectacular style of play. Whereas Jorgic is the antithesis of that, literally puts me to sleep. EDIT: An absolute machine, though.

Man, I thought Truls was choking again for a second there... But his performance in the fifth set was absolutely savage.

Nah. Ma Long wrecked FZD in the trials, but that right there was masterclass at how you dominate over a peer. Dang was no peer. Ding literally did not look like a man who does this for a living.

He's not going to win in straight games against WCQ. And if by some miracle he does, it's not going to look THIS bad.

Speaks volumes about the current state of European table tennis.

This. I was practically yelling at my TV screen for him to call a T.O. at 7-9. When Mattias won the next point it was all over, his psychological advantage had become enormous.

Having a 9-2 lead and dropping nine points in row is the definition of choking.

Good Lord, that choke from Truls. 😲

God damn, I love this stroke execution so much!

There are no matches in progress right now. Duda and Moregard are up in just under two hours. The page says that the official broadcast for India is at the WTT official facebook page.

Great effort by Aruna, though I have a feeling ML is gonna get murdered by Wang Chuqin now. We'll see, hope I'm wrong. P.S. I can live with the side angle, but the vertical angle is just ridiculous. It's borderline birds-eye view ffs. Bring the bloody camera down a little.

Most child prodigies stop being prodigies once they stop being children. They move far ahead of the curve very early in life, but the curve eventually catches up. There are many exceptions, of course, but I don't believe Harimoto will be one of them. There's absolutely nothing genius about the...

The side angle isn't THAT bad, as long as the camera isn't static and follows the action (and zooms out when the players play away from the table). It's just that the corner angle is VASTLY superior. I mean, look how great this is: I'd use a wider angle lens, though... And the sponsor ads are...

Go to hell, WTT. Seriously.

Can't believe they actually listened.

Table tennis players are the best! 🤣
