Because this is a Samsonov style ... we have diversity in tt, why uniform everything ...?

But NextLevel ... for fh serves, everybody pretty much would have toh use the Samsonov style and this is not doable ...

The law giver in this case didn't give a proper interpretation, but left it to "people" ... meaning umpires, and it was too much for them, it would be for anybody.

Ahh beg to differ Der ... the rule is unclear, it's more of an idea then a rule. "Enforcing" it in it's purest form would be imho a revolution for many players in terms of their style and tactics ... and the community wasn't simply ready. Rules are for people not the other way around ... If...

Yeah agree Koki seems to be decent lately and Dyjas lost Polish Championships like a moth ago (didn't win). Koki seems to be the favorite for me and this is not just courtesy ...

What I think might be missing here is the proper interpretation of the rules. There need to be training sessions for players and umpires to work out a general approach. Rules by themselves do not work at least not now ...

Yeah I remember the discussion ... : ) I could be biased, how do you see him against Niwa now ... ?

To think about it, some players basically hide serves anyway ... Edit: something needs to be done here, but I'm not sure if allowing to hide the serves is the best solution.

Jakub Dyjas defeats Kristian Karlsson ... sorry Swedish friends, had to notice it ...

Yep, he was shaky in the first round already ... No time for being sarcastic, bur wasn't DonOlsen right ... ; )

This would make sense for me, because how many players are there from the US, that do count in the draw ... ? I'd say just one that is outstanding, unlike German or Chinese players ...

Ahh 14:12 for Ma in the 4th ... lost chance ...

I remember Bojan playing against Ma Long in Rotterdam 2011. First 5 sets it was a life and death situation for Ma ... but this time it's not exactly Ma and it's not exactly the same Bojan .. a bit older, but will see ... ; )

Harimoto-Persson 8:3 (or 4) in the 4th, purest ace I've ever seen in tt.

I would check it, but can't take my eyes off of Harimoto, this brings him luck ... ; )

So my level probably fluctuates ... sometimes I'm just a little above the forearm level, sometimes I'm not ... ;)

Looks like ... I just watch her play and can't figure out myself how would I try to break through this bh wall ... very hard. Kudos to Zhang she took that one set.

I think I saw some footage of WHT and other player practicing with the CNT. @Women bracket is widely occupied with Hong Kong players though ...

Japanese duo clearly had some fun ... I'm watching Eckholm/Pota - Li/Li. Matilda frustrates a lot, I mean a lot ... why? Can't understand ...

Didn't mean it really, WHT play in Polish Superliga so I cheer for him. It's just those results and matches are surprising.
