  1. ITTF 2019 Hong Kong Open June 4-9

    Yang Haeun is injured and currently undergoing rehabilitation. It seems she joined a new team in national league and she has recovered 90%. Hope to see her soon in the world tour.
  2. Zhang Jike - News, Pics, Videos & more

    In all reality , ZJK has not retired officially only not to hamper the interests of the various endorsements. I dont see him back in World tour or CNT ever unfortunately.
  3. China Open 2019

    Overall in the match between TH and ML, it was little alarming to see TH not winning many of the BH to BH rallies.
  4. China Open 2019

    Frankly, the pressure on ML will be far less than TH. ML plays with less nerves now than ever before. Partly because he has nothing remaining to prove. He is playing to quench the thirst for his love of TT now. His hunger for winning remains very high. In such circumstances only injury can stop ML.
  5. China Open 2019

    Harimoto is getting dominant day by day.
  6. China Open 2019

    ML will blow away FZD tomorrow. I would love to see ML vs Harimoto rematch in the semis
  7. China Open 2019

    Lets hope she starts winning against CNT till she hits Ishikawa's current age :-)
  8. ITTF 2019 Croatia Open May 14-18

    Kristian seems to have put some weight. Little less spring in his movement overall. I always felt he is the strongest in the swedish squad but somehow the results are not showing for him.
  9. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    I am just waiting for China Open now. Will post in this thread after we get to know the winner :-)
  10. ITTF 2019 Slovenia Open May 8-12

    Sad Yui Hamamoto is out. Although I dont like her for TT skills , she certainly looks cute. Rare mix of Japanese cuteness with a tall frame ( Sorry if I offended someone)
  11. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    Welcome back Rain. I missed your statistical analysis in TTD :-) I have a different take about GOAT. I think GOAT can not be adjudged by who was more dominant in so many competitions or who lost to how many foreigners. In my opinion we have to position ourselves forward 10-20 years and then...
  12. Stats of CNT players against non-CNT players 2017

    Completely agree with Carl. We all know ZJK had his own way and he always peaked for the big events. Even before Rio, he lost to many foreigners and LGL himself admitted that he was afraid ZJK would be knocked out in early stages in Rio. But even with injury he grabbed silver. Cant agree with...
  13. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    How can ML grab the world title from some one else when he is the one winning it for ages :) Before that ZJK held it and he defeated him 4-0 in Olympics final.
  14. Is ma long the GOAT ?

    ZJK was the fastest one to a grand slam and so far the closest to double grand slam. But I dont think he can be considered better than ML because ML has many more weeks as WR #1 , many more ITTF world tour wins and has better head to head record against all other top players of his era.
  15. How are Pro Players Able to Cover the Table with their Banana Flick?

    The chiquita is one of the reasons why many pros have deadly long serves. ML, FZD and even Fang Bo have very good long serve which hit the baseline most of the times that too with some bounce on it. In my opinion, many pros combine gut feeling and agile footwork to get to the ball in FH side. I...
  16. would a Ryu Seung Min survive in today's table tennis?

    As some mentioned before RSM would most likely be a shakehand player in this era. And I cant imagine what RSM would have achieved with his footwork, FH and a shakehand grip. ML would have had tough competition.
  17. Ma Long VS Liu Gouliang - Who won?

    LGL did a few slick slap forehands. Incredible for his age.
  18. World Table Tennis Championships 2019

    In all reality , JNT should prep Harimoto for 2024 gold. Even though he can finish in medals at 2020, I feel pity for the kind of pressure he has to undergo.
  19. World Table Tennis Championships 2019

    It is quite well known what gesture an umpire uses to signal a point to an individual/team - raise their hand towards the side of the player which won the point. And secondly, an assistant umpire can't give the point to someone, it is the main umpire's job. And pointing her index finger towards...
  20. World Table Tennis Championships 2019

    Keeping aside SYS/WMY's behavior during the point, I would really like to know some facts about the event : 1. Who called let first - Umpire or WMY/SYS ? So far facebook, youtube and TTD user's comments are all of different views. 2. Is the judge malaysian or chinese or malaysian of chinese...
