Nice remark. She certainly didn't look too happy with Li Sun, when facing Ito Mima the last time ...

You got it d.. right McMurphy!

Any serious competitor for Jha this year?

Is he commentating?

Reading those comments, how LGL has to rebuild the CNT basically from scratch ... I still have the inveterate impression the Chinese sport authorities must have acted in deep cooperation with the ittfz efforts, two years ago ... in order to bring the balance to the force ... ; )

You pretty much summed up the characteristics of the "new trend" and features of the 40+ ball, to which I actually can sign up to. Few months ago, around the time of Japan Open 2018, we had quite a few topics about it. The one I linked in my prev comment was somewhat firce over to what extent it...

Thanks for the link. I must say I liked Harimoto's parents a lot in this interview. Their attitude is far, far from trying to idolize their son (and many people would probably justify them for doing so). You can sense, their work ethic is deeply rooted in them, so they know how hard they and...

A valuable insight yet again Zeio. My thoughts are, she has this commandeering backhand type of play, which is close to the Harimoto's actually. To the OP, if you are interested we had some discussions about it few moths ago, about the so called "New trend". A term coined by @EmRatThich on his...

Oh no, I didn't want to shut you down in the discussion by any means. Not at all. It's just that we are speculating over how Harimoto will react, if he wins the Grand Slam ... and he didn't even win one of those competitions yet. I just don't want us to fall into the commentator's curse ... ; )

Danica McKellar comes to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsy2DEpkZ3s A different story of course. Look guys we are far into the "if this and this and that, then what .." business, so let's just slow down a little ; )

Two GS vs GS at the age of 17/18 ... debatable ... ; ) Well, true if only tt motivates you, but say he turns out to be a great mathematician, physicist or politician (God forbid ; ) ...

In terms of money or a glamours life - probably ... but in terms of motivation? I mean if he accomplishes Grand Slam in Tokyo ... what on earth could possibly top this?

Well, when you look at his game, it is so rich and tactically sound. Everything he does has it's purpose and place in the overall strategy. Offers superb allround package with virtually no technical flows, modern blocking game resembling Waldner's days. Opponent awareness, ease with which he...

Talking abstracts as we are now ... funny, but it makes sense psychologically ... It just shows that CNT is basically lacking a Captain ...

.. thinking ... why the heck need I had to win with Xu Xin ... ; )

Certainly it is a legitimate prospect for Harimoto, still on paper though so hold your horses. but if The Kid takes the Budapest ... man o man ... the battle for Tokyo will be something you'll be telling your grandsons about ... ; )

Yes they will! I will be interesting to see who's going to take the lead, who's going to be "the Captain" in those crucial years. Will Ma Long make a return of the king, will Fan Zhendong finally blossoms and cements his position, will Xu Xin stay invincible against the foreigners and Hari, will...

He is on a hunt for those records for quite some time ... 2019 and the Olympic year are going to be great if this rivalry continues ...

I'll hang those in mine too, just to see if it helps ... ; )

Perhaps, perhaps ... Not getting into your discussion guys : ) which is quite interesting to read, I must say. Well CNT managed to do relatively well in the "cloning business" against the girls, but failed so far against the Kid ...
